The Silent Wife novel (Rachel and Justin) novel Chapter 407

After the morning meeting on Monday, Jolly followed Rachel around as she told Rachel her itinerary, “There is a charity donation ceremony in the afternoon. Hudson Pharmaceuticals has received an invitation letter, mainly to donate medical supplies in poor mountainous areas. How much do you think we should donate?”

Rachel glanced at the contents of the document. “Donate ten mobile medical vehicles first, and then supplement the funds according to the situation of the charitable foundation.” “Okay, but you have to go to the banquet in the afternoon.”

“Can I not go?” “You have to go. This is an important event for the company to gain favor. Don’t think of how utilitarian it is that charity is related to business. This is also a good time to carry forward the spirit of charity.”

“You said all that, but I didn’t say I wasn’t going.” “I thought you seemed distracted early this morning, and you’re so listless. What’s going on? Shouldn’t you be happy? You just got proposed to and received a big diamond ring.” Jolly said and reflexively grabbed Rachel’s hand but suddenly froze when she didn’t see the ring in question. “Where’s the ring?”

Rachel retracted her hand. “It was troublesome to wear, so I didn’t wear it.”

“Nonsense.” Jolly frowned.The secretary behind her cast them a curious look. Jolly closed the office door and asked sternly, “What’s the matter with you? Don’t tell me you are already regretting it.”

“No, you’re letting your imaginations run wild again.”

“Then why did you take the ring off?” Rachel was helpless. “It’s really inconvenient to wear it, and you know that I don’t like wearing things that are too valuable on my person. What if I lost it?”

“No, you have a problem.” Jolly put down all the folders in her hand, and they landed heavily on the desk. She turned around and stared at Rachel. “Tell me honestly, what happened to you and Julian? Why did you suddenly agree to his proposal?”

Rachel, who was being stared at, felt guilty. She coughed lightly, tried to avoid Jolly’s intense gaze, but was caught by her anyway. “Look at my eyes and answer me!”

She continued coughing. Rachel choked and said slowly. “Actually, I didn’t agree to Julian’s proposal.”

“What?” “Don’t get mad!” Rachel took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. “I refused at first. I am really grateful to Julian, but he should find a woman who loves him more wholeheartedly than me. But Julian said that he hoped I could give him a chance to give us a try.”

“Try? How are you going to try?” Jolly’s eyes narrowed. “Julian is also a showman. Does he want you to try what marriage is like with him?”

“That’s not what he meant. He meant that he hoped that I could leave the relationship with him as a friend and view him as a potential partner romantically and try it out for a while.”

“So you agreed?” “There may be some things that really need to be tried. If we try and find ourselves compatible, we will be together, and everyone will be happy. If not, then we’ll separate as soon as possible, and we won’t waste any more time on this pursuit.”

Jolly let go of Rachel. “Why is Julian doing this? He clearly knows that you are grateful to him. Isn’t this just him just pressuring you under the banner of trying?”

“Don’t say that. Julian is not that kind of person.” “Well, I’m just saying… You know… Jolly waved her hand. “The more I think about it, the less I can make sense of this. After Julian became the president of the Burton Family, I always felt that he was caught up in his own thoughts, and he wouldn’t hang out with us anymore. There’s just something different about him.”

“The Burton Group has much to worry about, and there are few people who support him, so it’s understandable why he acted that way.” “I hope it’s just that.”

Rachel glanced at the time. “It’s getting late, so I’ll go first.”

“Where are you going?” “We were just talking about it. Did you lose your memory? Don’t I have to go to the charity donation ceremony this afternoon? Shouldn’t I go home and change my clothes?”
