Chapter 50 Kieran and I Were Getting Engaged (Part 1)
"Mr. Charles is here. Mr. Charles is here!" I came back to my senses hearing a burst of exclamation. It
turned out that we had arrived at the company. When the female employees saw the car, they thought
it was Kieran. They all stood at the corner excitedly and waited expectantly.
They were devoted fans indeed.
"Ms. Cornell has arrived!" Armand got off the car and opened the door for me. I had to brace myself for
the hatred from those women. My gratitude for Kieran dissipated. I had reasons to suspect the moment
Armand drove away, I would probably get killed by these crazy fans.
"How could it be Rachael!"
"Isn't this Mr. Charles' car?"
"Right, right, where's Mr. Charles?" As soon as I got out of the car, the women were disappointed and
engaged themselves in wild speculation. Even the security guards stretched their necks out curiously.
They were dumbfounded when they saw me and even forgot to adjust their necks.
"Ms. Cornell, then I'm leaving. Have a good day!" Armand bowed to me, and I quickly helped him up.
How could I take this?
However, as soon as Armand started the engine, I felt like I was about to be hit by wild beasts in the
savanna.
"Rumors have it that Mr. Charles likes her, so he promoted her to girlfriend. It seemed the rumors are
real!" someone in the crowd said. Then the women instantly went even crazier.
"I see. No wonder a man as aloof and outstanding as Mr. Charles would let someone ride in his car and
have his bodyguard pick her up to and from work!"
"But why her? She's not good-looking, and her figure is so bad. Why did Mr. Charles choose her?"
"Did he make a mistake? I don't think Mr. Charles really likes such a woman!"
I lowered my head and walked towards the building where I worked. People on both sides were judging
me. I really felt like I was being watched in a zoo, so I quickened my pace. But when I got to my office, I
also felt I stood out from my peers and was stared at.
I pretended to ignore them and went straight to my remote corner, but there was a sumptuous
breakfast on my desk.
"Mr. Charles had it delivered to you this morning!" Just as I was puzzled, Yanis walked over and told
me, and the others quickly echoed.
"What are you looking at? Go to work!" Everly reprimanded unhappily. In an instant, everyone returned
to their office in panic.
Just as I was about to sit down, the sound of glass shattering echoed throughout the office. When I
looked up, I saw my breakfast falling to the ground.
"Sorry, my hands slipped!" Everly spread out her hands at me.
I looked at the tablecloth that she had deliberately torn off and the breakfast she had pushed to the
ground. Just as I was about to speak, Everly said, "Rachael, you are not allowed to eat in the office.
Next time, don't let me see it. Clean this up immediately!" After saying that, she left coldly.
I was angry.
Although I felt uncomfortable, I did as she said.
"Rachael, let me help you!" As soon as Everly left, Yanis put down the things in her hand and ran over
to take my broom.
The other colleagues also ran over to offer help. I smiled, "No need. You guys go back to your work. I
can handle this myself!" As I said that, I cleaned it up.
Actually, of course I knew why they suddenly changed their attitude towards me. It was because I came
in Kieran's car this morning. Armand was my personal driver, which showed Kieran's fancy for me.
They were afraid to offend me and even wanted to please me.
I had a hard time cleaning up the dirt on the ground. Then I dumped the garbage and went to the
bathroom.
"Did you see that woman's expression today? How hilarious!"
"Yes, I did. She looked so jealous and cold, and she even ruined Mr. Charles' loving breakfast for
Rachael. If I were Mr. Charles, I would hate her, too. She wore a poker face every day, as if we all
owed her!"
Just as I was about to leave the bathroom, I heard two familiar voices outside. I knew they belonged to NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
my peers in the office. Therefore, I was embarrassed to go out, so I could only continue squatting in the
cubicle.
"You know, I heard Everly's and Mr. Charles' families are actually close. Everly comes from money. She
was a top student and is sophisticated. But to chase Mr. Charles, she gave up her family business and
came here to work for him like some crazy woman!"
"That is right. I know she has a crush on Mr. Charles, but I didn't expect she would do that to get him!"
they said as they walked away.
I came out of the bathroom but couldn't get what they had just said out of my head. Everly had a soft
spot for Kieran, which was obvious. However, I had never thought she would give up her princess life
and work for him to be near him.
I couldn't help but sigh deeply, because I saw myself in her. I loved Marlon and had done some similar
crazy stuff for him, too.
I didn't give it much thought because it was between her and Kieran. I went back to work.
Kieran said I didn't need to worry about the acquisition, so I had nothing to do around the company. I
just needed to kill some time and wait to get off work.
"Mr. Charles!"
"Mr. Charles!" Just as I was about to fall asleep, a voice woke me up. I looked up and saw Kieran
standing at my desk with a playful expression. "Did you sleep well?"
"Mr. Charles!" I was so shocked that I stood up. I wanted to explain but then realized it would be futile.
"Sorry to disturb your rest?"
"No, no!" I shook my head.
"Let's go!" Kieran smiled at me.
I looked at him in puzzlement. Kieran seemed to be helpless and said, "Didn't I say I wanted to tell your
parents the good news? Otherwise, how am I going to marry you?"
The air froze in time. Everyone in the huge office dropped his chin from shock, looking at us in
disbelief.
The corners of my mouth twitched. To be honest, if I hadn't known this was a show, I would have gone
crazy for that. Although I didn't like him, he was handsome and filthy rich!
Kieran pulled my hand and walked out under the gaze of the crowd, while Everly happened to walk
towards him.
