The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1208

No matter what Holley said at that moment, Rachel would only take it as some excuse—it would have only made her despise Holley even more than she already did.

"Excuse me. We have an appointment with Lance."

In spite of the anger she felt, Rachel put on a smile the moment they arrived at the Silver Corporation.

"You must be Ms. Bai. Please proceed to the meeting room. Mr. Zhan will be there any minute now," the young receptionist told her. It was a surprise that she still had to wait because she had already given him a call before they arrived.

"The meeting room? Where is he? How long do we have to wait?"

Normally, for every appointment she requested with Lance, he would be the one waiting—he would even cancel his meetings to accommodate her.

Now, he would go so far as to send her to some meeting room as if she was any other associate.

The thought left a bitter taste in Rachel's mouth. What made him change so fast?

Was it because of what happened the night before? Charles ended up blaming her and Holley for Sheryl's suffering and in return, made Lance distance himself from her.

"I'm sorry, Ms. Bai. I'm not sure how soon Mr. Zhan will be available. Please wait patiently."

Though the receptionist replied carefully, her tone obviously turned impatient in contrast to how she had originally received Rachel and Holley.

The two had been bending their backs trying to get all the cooperation opportunities in Y City, yet somehow, Charles managed to destroy almost all of them. To make sure their efforts didn't go to waste, Rachel couldn't do anything but endure what she had to, even the receptionist's rude attitude.

In this situation, she was even afraid that Lance would refuse to work with her—prior to heading there, he had refused to answer her call until she used another phone to dial him up. Although he did agree to the meeting, it was with obvious reluctance.

At the moment, Rachel was submitting to quite the humiliation.

Perhaps begging for Charles' forgiveness would be a quick fix for the situation, she thought, but it wasn't the right time to do so yet. The man clearly despised her. It would take a long time before she could get him to consider trusting her again.

Without any time to lose, her first priority was to make sure that Tarsan Corporation survived in Y City.

If in the trial operation phase, all Tarsan Corporation's cooperative partners ditched the corporation, Rachel was well aware of the great loss it would cost the company. And as vigorous as the business competition was in Y City, it would be extremely difficult for Tarsan Corporation to occupy a place in the business world again.

Although the corporation could bare some short-term losses, if these losses continued, all the shareholders would want Rachel out of her position to run Tarsan Corporation. After all, she was the one who, in spite of the opposition she faced, insisted on moving the corporation to Y City.

If Tarsan Corporation didn't survive, all the blame would be on her and she would lose absolutely any say in the corporation's development. By then, she would be in a real hell. This was her last chance to save the rest of the cooperation opportunities for Tarsan Corporation.
