On the other side, Adair almost loses all the connection with Rex after meeting in the bar last time.
She can't find Rex anymore. It’s like he disappears in her world totally, as if he never exists before.
At first, she can comfort herself and persuade herself that Rex is just busy. In the past few years, he
has been on business trips from all over the world. There are some times that they don’t see each
other even for longer time. How come this time is different?
However, with the time passes by, she gets more and more paranoid. She begins to keep thinking
about it. Although they don’t see each other for long time before, she is sure that there is no other
woman beside him. Rex is super clean, having no girls around him at all. But now everything changes.
A woman named Lily appears in his world.
For Rex, that woman is so important and different. Vivian feels so uncomfortable once she thinks about
what happens between Rex and Lily. Lily makes her realized how much she wants Rex to be only hers.
"Lily! Lily! Lily! Ahhhh! I can't stand it anymore!" Vivian raises her hand and throws the pillow on the
wall. The jealousy in her eyes can almost make a hole through the wall.
Why!
Why does the woman who disappears for five years come back again and take all the attention from
Rex right away?
Why can she get it all easily?
Lily's harmless face appears in Vivian’s head. That Lily is a bitch who deceives Rex with her innocent
face. She is pretending to be innocent. She is a total bitch!
Vivian almost loses her reason. The long-time estrangement from Rex makes her feel panic. She
cannot maintain her inner peace anymore.
She takes out her phone and dials the number that she can memorize so well, the number that she
dials for thousands of times before.
‘Beep—beep—beep—’
She hears the same ‘beep’ sound for countless times already. This time is the same, with no miracle.
No one answers like always.
Vivian stares at the number on the screen fiercely, as if she can see Rex in this way. She can't calm
herself down anymore. She wants to find him. She doesn't want him to forget her!
He needs to remember her, even if it’s hate or disgust.
...
Rex doesn't return to the villa after sending Lily and Adair home. He drives to the company. He doesn’t
deal with business matters for too long. He always has remote meetings from home, so there are so
many documents that need to be signed.
When Fraser sees Rex walking into the office, he quickly picks up a pile of documents in the corner of
the desk and put them into Rex’s office.
"What happens with Ryan?" Rex opens one of the folders, looks at the terms on it, and signs his name
after making sure there is no problem.
"It's still the same as before. We have talked to the minority shareholders who want to withdraw the
investment to change their mind. But it is strange that everyone is unwilling to do so."
Rex snorts, "It’s expectable that Ryan must have talked to them before us."
Fraser is puzzled, "But the benefits we offers are not little at all."
It’s impossible for a businessman not take actions when there are great benefits.
"Yes, if they still don’t want to work with you when there is benefit, then there is only one explanation."
Rex stops signing and looks up, “They can get more benefits from others."
Fraser finally realizes it, but then he becomes more confused, "If this is the case, why does Ryan do
so? If he gives more benefits than us, that means he will lose so much money even he wins us."
"Don't you understand? He is doing so to against me, not for the case or the profit." Rex also finds it
ridiculous when he says it. Rex doesn't even care about himself anymore to against him.
The more he is doing so, the less likely it is for him to let Lily return to him.
"Then what should we do next?"
Rex's eyes falls on the computer screen in front of him. There are red, green lines on the screen, as
well as various codes and numbers. It is today's stock.
His index finger taps silently on the desktop. He stops for a while then he says, "Now that the project is
maliciously intervened by Ryan. It may be difficult to go public anymore. You make an acquisition plan
and then send the person in charge to communicate with the other party. You can tell them that we give
them the right to operate independently and only participate in dividends at the end of the year as a
shareholder."
Fraser is a little surprised. He has never heard of the acquisition plan from Rex before. He can't help to
feel a little worried. "President Rex, in fact, this project is not necessary..."
Rex shakes his head, "Don't worry. I am not being impulsive. This is originally my plan B."
"But if we start the acquisition plan, the risk we need to bear will become bigger." Fraser raises his
hand and pushes his glasses up a little. He is still a little uneasy. After all, after so many years of
investment, he has never participated in the acquisition area. This is an essential adjustment. .
"Don't forget what I did before." Rex says meaningfully.
Fraser just remembers Rex's the other work, a lawyer, a famous lawyer with great reputation.
After working with Rex for so many years, Fraser almost forgets his other skills. Well, he is right. If Rex
is an impulsive or unwise man, how can he manage to do such great work in investment in just three or
four years?
Perhaps his worry is unnecessary.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Rex. I'm just worried that Ryan will make troubles for us during the acquisition."
"It's for sure that Ryan will make us troubles. If we can’t avoid it, why not face it?" That is his nature.
The more difficult and impossible things are, the more he wants to challenge them.
His shrewd brain will not allow him to give up his project, nor will he be arrogant. He will do better.
He is being busy till 7 o’clock in the evening. Rex doesn’t eat any food, but only drinks a few sips of
water. After signing the contracts, he has to go for meetings. After the meetings, he has to
communicate with the heads of various departments of the company. Hours and hours pass by, he only
feels tired when he finally finish everything.
He doesn't talk much, but his throat is a little sore after talking to each for a short of time.
He raises his wrist to check the time. Thinking about the situation on Lily's side, he starts calling her.
He hears a lively voice from the other side as soon as it’s connected.
Amidst the laughter of Adair, Bree and Harry, a woman's anxious voice comes through, "Hello?"
All the tiredness and tension from the whole afternoon disappears once he hears her voice. He tugs at
the neckline, "Why are you in rush?"
"No, I was putting down the plates for dumplings. Then I heard the phone ringing. So I ran over to pick
it up."
The man raises his eyebrows, “You are eating dumplings?"
"Yeah." While Lily answers, she glances at the dumplings on the table. And then she asks him, "Did
you eat?"
