Wanted: Billionaire's Wife And Their Genius Twin Babies novel Chapter 91

As Rachel sat up straight, she tidied her hair and dress minimally.

"If you insist on limiting my professional freedom, I cannot consent to our collaboration."

Edward crossed his legs, the smile on his face unfaltering. "I haven't even told you your remuneration, is it a good idea to refuse just yet?"

Rachel was slightly taken aback but remained steadfast in her choice. "It’s not about the remuneration, but about the ending of my career. If you and I signed a permanent contract, my career would've stopped here."

In all honesty, she just did not want to be more involved with the Bennets at this point.

Edward Bluemel was Rue's husband. So to be in contact with Edward Bluemel was to be in contact with Rue, and by extension, with the Bennets.

"The point of every career is to constantly climb higher, and if you signed a permanent contract with me, you would've reached the top of the fashion designing industry. How then, will your career stop there?"

Edward pointed out the logical flaw in Rachel's reasoning.

Rachel bit her lower lip. "I don't care what it is, I don't want it!"

Unable to triumph over Edward, Rachel reacted shamelessly.

Edward relented. "Fine, you can work with other people aside from me after signing the permanent contract, but you can't work with men."

"...What does this mean?"

Rachel stared at Edward with a displeased look on her face.

"This is my biggest compromise," said Edward sincerely.

Rachel smiled with her eyes half-closed. "Is that so? I'm sorry, Mr. Bluemel, I refuse."

One by one, the veins on Edward's forehead popped. "Rachel Bennet, this is the third time you refused me."

Rachel stood up and beat off the dust on her dress. "Edward, do you like eating cucumbers?"

"No," answered Edward instinctively.

Rachel's eyes lit up before she shook her head dramatically. "Is it? Well, I like it, so our interests are different. We are not meant to work together! So, let's not shove a square peg through a round hole."

Seeing Rachel with her slight tendency to turn her feet out, Edward called out at her.

"You can refuse to work with me, but I can guarantee that no one will ever dare to work with you from now on."

Rachel whipped her head back angrily. "Edward Bluemel, you despicable man! Are you threatening me?"

Edward stood up pompously. "Damn right it's a threat, what are you gonna do about it?"

Rachel bit down on her teeth. "Do you absolutely have to go after a nameless woman like me in this way? There are so many excellent designers in the world! Why do you need me and only me!"

She peered at Edward with a side-eye. Under threats like this, she knew she could only follow his whims.

However, after blurting out the questions, it depended on whether Edward could continue the conversation and compliment her.

All Rachel could imagine was Edward grabbing her arm and saying sincerely, "That's right! There are many excellent designers in the world, but a designer like you is as unique as it gets!"

Edward shook Rachel out from her fantasy with his brows furrowed.

'Has she gone mad?'

"What? Fine. Seeing you're so understanding, I shall reluctantly..."
