Rachel rushed back to her room, stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself in the mirror. The embarrassed, shy girl looked just like an idiot.
She cupped her blushed face, her whole body was hot while she was gasping.
It was still inconvenient to live under the same roof. She would always run into them. Thinking about the fact that Sienna would get married with him in the future, she felt even more upset.
Rachel patted her face, exhaled a long breath and muttered to herself. “Wake up, Rachel White! Stop daydreaming! That man is out of your league. Find the person who murdered mom, so justice will be served! Leave here early, get out of pain early as well!”
DK Building
It was a high-end building.
There was a very extravagant entertainment club. It declined individual customers as only members who had paid an annual membership fee of a million were accepted.
Many medium-sized business owners couldn’t make a million a year, let alone other ordinary people. Having membership here was definitely a big deal.
Rachel followed Andrew to DK building again but unfortunately, she was turned away from the receptionist.
There was a giant antique vase in front of the glass window on the sixth floor. She used the vase as a shield to hide and waited.
The sky outside was cloudy and the air was very humid. The drizzling rain fell from the sky and moistened the earth. Spring was coming.
Normally, there were few people going in and out of the club. But those who went in were someone celebrities in politics or business.
As time passed, Rachel switched positions from squatting to standing. Her feet were numb because she had been hiding there for more than two hours.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared and Rachel became nervous.
Thinking she might’ve been wrong, she quickly popped her head out from behind the vase and frowned.
Sienna Parker was in a white mink coat, looking elegant and noble. She was walking out of the building side by side with Andrew while they talked and laughed.
Was it just a coincidence?
Having huge family business, the Parkers were also one of the top nobles. It was normal that she would come to places like DK building.
But how did she know Andrew? In addition the two were talking happily and it seemed that they know each other very well.
Sienna and Andrew left together.
With doubt, Rachel secretly followed behind. She took the elevator after them.
Rachel could only see Sienna alone waving when she got down to the lobby’s entrance. Meanwhile Andrew’s car was leaving.
“Sienna.” Rachel walked behind her and called her name.
Sienna turned around quickly. She was shocked when she saw Rachel but reacted very fast. “You were here too, Rachel? Why didn’t I run into you when I was in there?” Sienna asked in confusion.
Rachel didn’t want to answer her question. She stared calmly at her while observing her expression, then asked seriously, “So you know Andrew?”
“Of course. My sister is the head of TV production of the company, so I meet him quite often at the banquets. But I am not friends with him.” Sienna said casually with a straight face.
Rachel wanted to see if she was lying. But she seemed too calm that it didn’t look like a lie at all.
“You invited him to come with you…”
Sienna denied it before Rachel finished her question. “I didn’t invite anybody. I was here for the SPA. It has become my routine for the past few days because you know, I am getting married next month. We happened to run into each other, so it was just chitchatting.”
Rachel was upset. She was remarkably close to getting it off her mind but was reminded again now. She was not in the mood for the investigation at all.
“Are you a member here? Let’s come here for the SPA from now on.” Sienna approached, asked her while raising her eyebrows with a smile.
“No.” Rachel answered indifferently.
She couldn’t even make ten thousand a year. Having membership here was absolutely a pipe dream for her.
“What are you doing here if you are not a member?” Sienna raised her eyebrows in surprise and smiled doubtfully.
Rachel looked at her in silence.
“Don’t look at me like you are in love with me! I am so scared.” Sienna stroked her cheek with a big sweet smile. Kindness was written all over her face.
Rachel was amused by her eventually. There was no way to doubt a bestie like her as they had known each other for over twenty years.
Seeing that Rachel was smiling, Sienna held her hand, “I will get you a membership card, Rachel. We can come here together to work out, have a facial massage etc. Food and beverage are also free.”
“No.” Rachel panicked and pushed her away quickly, “I don’t want to have this kind of membership.”
“It’s alright, I will pay for you.” Sienna politely tried to pull her inside.
Rachel didn’t want to owe anyone a hundred yuan, let alone one a million. So, she pushed her hand away anxiously.
“I mean it, Sienna. I don’t want it.”
“Are you looking down on me?” Sienna frowned.
“I am not looking down on you. Money is not a big deal for you. But I don’t want the membership card, so please show some respect.” Rachel took a deep breath and bit her lip.
“What else can I say? What a stubborn girl you are, despite your tiny build.” Sienna pursed her mouth.
That was Rachel’s bottom line.
Rachel didn’t want to explain too much to her.
It was raining heavier and the wind was getting colder. The air was chilling cold.
Just then, an eye-catching SUV parked at the entrance.
Both Rachel and Sienna saw it and recognized the car at first sight.
Sienna was excited and quickly took Rachel’s hand, “My hubby is here to pick me up, Rachel. Get in with me.”
Hubby?
The single word was like needles, hurting Rachel brutally. Her stiffened hand was slowly pulled out of Sienna.
Aren’t they getting married next month?
They are calling each other honey, babe and hubby already?
She felt like there was a rock pressing on her chest that she could barely breathe.
“It’s fine. He is here to pick you up. Go ahead. Don’t let him wait.” She forced a smile and said.
“No worries. It doesn’t matter because he’s been waiting for me for years!” Sienna said with a big smile.
Rachel forced a smile. But only she knew how stiff her face was and how hurt her heart was.
She didn’t know if Sienna was intentional or not. But her words could always hurt her as if a knife stabbing on her heart.
“It’s raining. Come with me.” Sienna held Rachel’s hand.
Rachel’s fingers turned stiff in Sienna’s hand. She pulled out while she trembled. This time she sounded tougher and colder. “Leave me alone. I am begging you.”
With that said, she lowered her eyes to hide her teary eyes.
Sienna could hear the rage in her. She could see the sorrow in her as well.
Even an idiot could feel her sadness. Sienna shrugged, pursed her lips and sighed. She turned around and walked towards the car, pretending that she didn’t know what was happening.
She opened the door and got into the car in silence
