As Rachel and Holley entered their booth, the former sent Lance a text as planned.
It read, "We are ready. Bring Mr. Lu out."
After sending the brief message, she was feeling thrilled.
"Shall we open the door now?" Rachel inquired eagerly. She couldn't wait to make her next move. If everything went according to their plan, Sheryl would be very upset. The thought of her enemy being distraught brought her much excitement.
"Don't be in a hurry. We haven't received Mr. Zhan's reply yet." Holley stopped her, shaking her head. 'If we open the door now, what if Sheryl or Isla goes past the booth and sees us? That will screw up my plans, ' she mulled.
"Right, you have a point," Rachel agreed meekly. She was going to stick to Holley's advice on this matter. No matter what Holley said, she would agree to it without any doubts. Her planning had been perfect so far.
She had no other choice but to trust Holley because she had no idea how to get revenge on Sheryl by herself.
A few minutes later, Rachel received Lance's message. It said, "I've brought him to the restroom."
"Charles is in the restroom. What should we do now, Holley?" Rachel asked after she read the message twice.
"I see. Let's go meet him there. Come on, Ms. Bai. You are not still worried that people might see you and him together, are you?" Holley responded casually as she flashed her boss a meaningful smile. She knew that it was time to kick things up a notch. 'Things are gonna get more interesting now, ' Holley giggled inwardly.
A relieved smile appeared on Rachel's face. She said in a self-assured tone, "I am not worried about that. We came here to have a good time. There is no rule that I can't be where Charles is at the same time. Besides, I didn't expect that he would be here. If anyone asks, this is all just a coincidence."
"Exactly. All of this is nothing but a coincidence. After all, we live in Y City; anything can happen around here," Holley echoed with a loud laugh.
Rachel laughed and said, "Let's get going."
"All right."
Hand in hand, acting like they were close friends, the two headed straight to the men's restroom. Their layout on the third floor was pretty interesting. In other words, Rachel had made it interesting.
Rachel's, Charles' and Sheryl's VIP booths were adjacent to each other. Charles' booth was on the far right, Sheryl's was in the middle and Rachel's was on the left. If Charles had to go to the restroom, he had to turn right, which meant that he wouldn't have to walk past Sheryl's or Rachel's booths.
But if Rachel needed to get to the restroom, she would have to pass both Sheryl's and Charles' booths.
The lift on the third floor was on the left. So, if Sheryl needed to take the lift, she would have to walk past Rachel's booth.
This was why Rachel had chosen that particular booth.
On their way to the restroom, they saw that the door to Sheryl's booth was finally closed and so was the one to Charles'.
'So far, so good.
No one can ruin our plan now, as long as Mr. Zhan's friends hold their tongues, ' Rachel brooded gleefully.
