The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1272

Rachel left the police station in high spirits after seeing Miranda's tragic fate. She was already on the road when a phone call came in relentlessly. Rachel caught a glimpse of the caller ID and a familiar name was showing. She cursed in a low breath as she continued to ignore the call.

After sleeping with Alan that day, she often received his phone calls. Every time she tried to refuse him, she did not realize that he kept calling more often. Moreover, she could not avoid him forever. Rachel got upset when she thought how annoying it was becoming.

Finally, she decided to take the call. "Hello, Mr. Zhao. What can I do for you?" Rachel tried to set aside her irritation and forced herself to sound more natural.

"Ms. Bai, are you free today? I've always wanted to meet you. Would you like to hang out?"

"Of course I would like to see you again," she answered in a heartbeat. "However, we have a lot going on in the company recently and I hardly have time to take a leave. I'll let you know when I have the time." Rachel assured him.

"Don't get yourself too worked out, Ms. Bai. Well then, I'll wait for your notice. Don't let me down." Alan sounded optimistic.

Rachel didn't answer. She was still upset when she hung up the phone. When she remembered what happened to her with Alan at the hotel last time, she thought the man was really disgusting. She recalled the nausea that lingered when his hot breath sprayed on her face. She couldn't imagine herself spending another night with him.

Back in her office, Holley's high tension relaxed after she dealt with the company's affairs.

It had been a while since she last worked, and today was so far, her most productive day in the office. It was only after she had a short rest that her cell phone broke the silence in the room.

Staring at the caller ID, she suddenly felt unhappy as she read the name.

It was Lanny Huang calling.

Lanny Huang was no stranger to her. A few months ago, Rachel forced her to persuade him to investment in their company. Tempting him was an exhausting work for her.

If Lanny Huang was handsome and graceful, it wouldn't be a big deal. But he was not only fat, but also a pervert. He played a lot of perverted games every time they got dealings.

During the period of coaxing Lanny Huang to sign the contract, Holley had to meet with him a lot. And although she hated it the most, she was left with no other options. Every time she slept with this man, Holley would run to the bathroom and spit out for ten minutes. She would also wash her body more than ten times, rubbing her skin clean until it turned pink.

So now she could not help feeling disgusting whenever she answered his phone calls.

Despite this, she decided to take the call. After all, Lanny Huang was one of their biggest clients. She didn't want to lose his business just after she came out of prison.

She counted to three and then greeted cheerfully, "Hello, Mr. Huang!" Holley deliberately softened her voice to sound charming enough.

"Beauty, what are you doing now?" Lanny Huang's disgusting voice rang in her ear. It was deep and hoarse.

"Nothing. I was just about to call you. What a coincidence," Holley said with a smile. Lanny Huang felt the warmth in her voice and never doubted she was faking it.

"Were you? I miss you too. That's right. Come out and meet me tonight."

Holley was shocked. She just got out of prison. All she wanted was to rest at home. Who knew she was remembered by the lecher.

"Mr. Huang, that's the case, I still have something to deal with today. Maybe.. another day?" Holley asked tentatively.

"Another day?" he repeated unconvinced. "All right then." After Lanny Huang agreed, Holley sighed in relief. Just as she was about to hang up after a few more polite responses, Lanny Huang reminded her.

"Beauty, I think I should also consider the contract for the second half of the year. I may be very busy then. If you can't make an appointment with me, it will be best to put it on hold."

'Damn it!' Holley thought.

She could not help but scold the damn man in her head. Whenever she thought she had caught his weakness, he always threatened her with the contract. She hated how he was trying to outwit her.
