The Apple of My Eye novel Chapter 1287

Was it simply because they indulged their affair too many times, enough that she developed such delusion?

Despite the fact that Rachel offered him an impressive romantic experience, in his mind, Alan only laughed at Rachel's stupidity—he would not satisfy her demand as she hoped. All he offered was a spoken promise. "Alright, shares are not a big deal. I'll arrange a meeting with Holley to buy her shares."

Upon hearing this, Rachel gained some hopefulness and it made her day.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Suddenly enveloping Alan in an embrace, Rachel kissed him excitedly.

Of course, Rachel was delighted to know that she had Alan's help. With his support, she could certainly take back the company. Unfortunately, she was not aware that as soon as he left the hotel, he rang up Holley immediately.

"Hello, Miss Ye? This is Alan. I was wondering when you would be available—I have some information that may interest you."

It took Holley a moment to recall that Alan was the general manager of a company of the average scale as Tarsan Corporation.

Because of his nasty habit of staring at women with creeping eyes and flirting with basically any woman he met, she already had a vague impression of the man. With such little business talent, chances were that he was simply a man slumbering in the tender land.

On that note, Holley wasn't inclined to meet Alan. Moreover, she didn't believe he knew of any crucial secret—he was simply making something up to take advantage of her.

"Oh, Mr. Zhao, I'd love to, but I'm really busy these days. Why don't you just tell me what it is over the phone?"

Even with her response, Alan wasn't phased—he was convinced that he could somehow make it happen.

"As for the secret, it's better to discuss it face to face. Talking over the phone isn't so convenient, is it? So, when are you available, Miss Ye?"

This time, Alan was completely certain that Holley would agree to come. Conquering such a woman sounded incredibly engaging.

Alan's little excuse sounded hilarious to Holley. 'Please, is there really anything that can't be discussed on the phone?' Without any more time to waste on him, Holley merely claimed to be busy and hung up the phone immediately.

Unsurprisingly, Holley didn't take it seriously and just went back to her loads of paperwork. Ever since she became the general manager, she was put in charge of far more business than in her previous position. Fortunately, Rachel got used to assigning all the hard tasks to her. That served as good training for her to adapt and gain competence in handling the work with ease.

Yet, soon after, her phone rang. Once again, Alan was on the other end of the line, testing Holley's patience.

After a long while, she eventually picked up the phone.

The way Holley abruptly hung up the call left Alan irritated. Because he was in a rather high rank, people usually treated him with appropriate respect. No one would dare do what Holley just did to him. After a second thought, however, he decided to forgive her—a beauty like Holley deserved such privilege.

"Miss Ye, I do sincerely hope to share some news about Rachel. Are you sure you don't want to meet and discuss things, face to face?"

Initially, Holley didn't mean to take it so seriously. But once she heard Rachel's name, she was engaged instantly—she couldn't help wondering if Rachel was causing trouble to her again.

"Well, Mr. Zhao, I suppose I can try to make it." It was very clear to Holley that Rachel was a silly woman and wouldn't succeed at achieving her clumsy goals, no matter how hard she tried. Still, her curiosity drove her to accept Alan's invitation.

"I'll see you tomorrow at Red Leaves Club. I'm looking forward to meeting you, Mr. Zhao."
