Rebecca looked at Orlando and nodded slightly. “Yeah, I was going to ask Landy for dinner, but you guys already have plans. So…”
“Why don’t you come with us, Ms. Spencer? The more the merrier.” A voice came.
The person who asked was Kendall, the project manager of Hawley Real Estate. Upon hearing Rebecca addressing Orlando with such familiarity, he felt that the two must have an unusual relationship, so he attempted to curry favor with her.
Orlando remained expressionless and did not speak. Rebecca subconsciously looked at him and said softly, “Would it be inconvenient? Landy, will I be disturbing you?”
“Not at all, Ms. Spencer,” someone responded immediately. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
Then, everyone waited for Orlando to speak.
A few seconds later, he said faintly, “You can go if you want.”
“Okay, then I’ll go with you.” She walked to Orlando with a smiling face. Then, she greeted Cassandra outside, “Cassandra, you are here, too.”
Cassandra had no intention to respond, but with so many people present, she could only respond tepidly,
“Yeah.”
Everyone saw and understood that Cassandra knew Rebecca. Rebecca had a close relationship with Orlando, and Orlando took special care of Cassandra, possibly because of Rebecca.
At this time, Orlando reminded everyone indifferently, “Get in the car.”
Cassandra, who was closest to the car, reached out to open the back seat door and proceeded to get in, but Rebecca got ahead of her in the next second. The latter smiled and said, “Thank you, Cassandra.“”
Then, she got in the car directly.
Her actions completely treated Cassandra as a professional doorman, and a provocative smile that was only noticeable to Cassandra appeared at the corners of her mouth.

However, Cassandra showed no reaction. She just stood in place expressionlessly.
Rebecca waved to Orlando. “Landy, get in the car.”
Cassandra looked at Orlando indifferently. Her eyes were vacant and emotionless, but her face was extremely icy.
In the end, Orlando got into the back seat while Cassandra got into the passenger seat.
Rebecca asked deliberately, “Cassandra, why don’t you sit in the back? You seem a bit unfamiliar sitting in the front.”
Cassandra smiled and sneered, “Ms. Spencer, haven’t you heard the story where there is always one who is superfluous among three people? Besides, I don’t know you well. How can there be any familiarity with someone I’m not acquainted with?”
“Cassandra, are you upset? If you feel uncomfortable because I’m sitting in the back with Landy, I can switch seats with you. I thought you wouldn’t mind.” Rebecca took the initiative to explain, her gentle voice carrying a hint of grievance.
“Ms. Spencer, aren’t you tired? You always think I’m upset, but you keep doing things that upset me, so why bother asking me?” Cassandra retorted impolitely.
She felt really annoyed.
She did not want to talk anymore.
Rebecca felt aggrieved and sobbed. “Landy, did I do something wrong again?” she asked.
“All right, Rebecca. Would you please be quiet? I got a bit of a headache. I need some rest,” Orlando interrupted Rebecca in a low and gloomy voice.
Hearing that he had a headache, Rebecca hurriedly asked, “Landy, are you sick?”
“No, I just want to have a rest, okay?” said Orlando.
“Okay, you rest. I won’t disturb you,” said Rebecca..
As Cassandra watched Rebecca being attentive to Orlando at the back, she couldn’t help but feel worried about

him. ‘Is he okay?‘ she asked inwardly.
After arriving at the restaurant, Rebecca followed Orlando closely. The two entered the restaurant together. Whether from behind or the front, they looked like a golden couple and a match made in heaven.
While they were eating, Rebecca took care of everyone like the lady of the house. She was gentle and considerate, the type that all men adored.
Moreover, she managed to make everyone acquiesce that she was in a romantic relationship with Orlando.
The meal was unpalatable to Cassandra. Compared with Rebecca, she was quiet and aloof. She did not want to have too much contact with unfamiliar people.
It was already past one in the afternoon after they finished eating.
When they came out of the restaurant, Cassandra deliberately slowed down. She planned not to take Orlando’s car to avoid annoying anyone.
Just as she was about to speak, her phone suddenly rang.
The ringtone attracted everyone’s attention. She picked up the phone without changing her expression and answered, “Hello, Michael?”
“Where do you eat? I’m right outside. Do you want me to pick you up?” Michael asked.
“Sure,” said Cassandra. She then gave Michael the restaurant’s name.
Michael said, “I happened to be around. I’ll be there in a few minutes.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you then,” replied Cassandra.
After ending the call, Zachary asked with a faint smile, “I’m guessing from the tone of your voice, it must be your boyfriend calling to check on you, right, Ms. Jackson? Beautiful girls like you must have many admirers.”
Hearing someone praising Cassandra’s beauty, Rebecca became very displeased, coldness appearing in her
eyes.
However, Cassandra just smiled and did not respond.

Kendall also echoed, “I bet you guys didn’t know that Ms. Jackson has a really handsome partner. He is very kind to Ms. Jackson. In my opinion, he should be Ms. Jackson’s boyfriend.”
Cassandra remained silent. Her face was expressionless.
The air became quiet subsequently.
Orlando narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at Cassandra indifferently. He asked in a low voice, “Ms. Jackson’s boyfriend?”
Kendall was taken aback slightly. Seeing Orlando’s unpleasant face, he dared not respond to him. Meanwhile, the others exchanged glances and were at a loss.
Cassandra also looked at him but still did not respond.
Seeing this, Rebecca quickly spoke to thaw the atmosphere. “Landy, can you take me to the recording studio later?”
Orlando ignored her, his eyes fixated on Cassandra. “Ms. Jackson, aren’t you going to answer me?” he said indifferently.
Cassandra met his questioning eyes and responded calmly, “Mr. Quinn, this is my private matter. It has nothing to do with work, so I can choose not to answer, right?”
“Private matter, huh?” Orlando laughed, a coldness emerging in his eyes.
“Cassie…”
Just as everyone was uncertain about the situation, Michael arrived in his car.
He got out of the car and walked toward Cassandra with long strides. He even took the initiative to greet Kendall upon meeting him.
Kendall hurriedly said, “Let me introduce to you. This is Mr. Michael Collins. He’s a partner in Ms. Jackson’s company.”
As soon as everyone heard this, they immediately greeted Michael.

Michael responded to them one by one, then looked at Orlando with deep eyes and said indifferently, “Mr. Quinn, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Orlando narrowed his eyes and asked gently, “Mr. Collins, how have you been?”
Everyone looked at each other and thought, ‘Did they know each other?”
However, no one questioned it.
Michael stood beside Cassandra. He lowered his gaze to look at her and asked in a low voice, “You’ve been having a dull appetite recently. Have you had enough to eat?”
Cassandra nodded and said, “Yes.”
The interaction between the two made their relationship more intimate.
Zachary said, “You two are perfect for each other!”
“Thank you for your compliments, Mr. Wright, but I’m still working on it. She hasn’t accepted my courtship yet,” said Michael.
“Then I wish you to achieve your dream soon, Mr. Collins,” said Zachary.
“From your mouth to God’s ear,” riposted Michael.
The others also echoed. The atmosphere became harmonious.
Rebecca pursed her lips and whispered to Orlando, “Landy, is Michael really courting Cassandra? But she hasn’t divorced you yet. Wouldn’t that be a slap in the face for you when she does this?”
Orlando’s face was cold, and his eyes were filled with indifference.
