Chapter 56 The Celebration Party
Resentfully, Anna stared at the back of Clark who was leaving the room. She didn't expect that Clark would be so cold to her?
Generally speaking, they should be closer than usual after sleeping with each other, shouldn't they?
Meanwhile, Clark felt regretful and confused, thinking, 'Did we really have sex last night? Why didn't I feel it at all?'
But he couldn't figure out why there were marks and bruised left on Anna's body.
Clark had a headache and decided not to think about it.
He went back to the villa, packed up a few clothes and hurried back to the company.
Then, Clark started to live in the company and find all kinds of excuses not to see Anna.
Without Clark around her, Rachel worked really hard.
She would like to spare no effort to shoot, hoping to forget about Clark through busy work.
But even so, she would think about him when she was sleepless in the middle of the night. And she would also think of him when
she was not busy.
But she knew very well that they would never have any intersection.
Because he was going to marry another woman.
Seeing Rachel work so hard, Michelle kept urging her to take a rest.
One day, when Clark met Eva in the corridor of his company, he remembered that he hadn't seen Rachel and heard about her
for a long time.
"Eva, come to my office!" Clark ordered.
Eva was frightened and followed him to his office nervously.
As soon as she entered the office, Eva asked in a hurry, "Mr. Clark, are you going to fire me?"
"Why do you ask that?" he asked in confusion.
Feeling a little uneasy, Eva asked, "The relationship between you and Miss Rachel is not good. Will you blame me for that?"
Clark was stunned and said, "No, I won't. Don't worry. I'm not going to mix things up. You working here has nothing to do with my
relationship with her."
Hearing that, Eva heaved a sigh of relief.
"Rachel...... How is she doing recently?" Clark thought for a while and asked.
Eva was extremely happy to hear that he cared about Rachel. But as soon as she thought of how Rachel had been recently, she
furrowed her eyebrows again.
As she remained silent for a long time, Clark asked gloomily, "What's wrong? She got into trouble?"
"Not really," Eva sighed. "It seems that she has been in a bad mood recently. She works hard every day, and she cannot sleep
when she gets home at night, and she often gets up at night..."
"But why?" Clark asked in confusion.
Eva was a little helpless. Could she tell the truth? Of course she could not.
"Well...... I don't know either," Eva replied.
Clark thought about it for a while and asked, "What about Chester? Is he good to her?"
"Chester?" Eva looked at Clark in surprise. Did he misunderstand the relationship between Chester and Rachel?
Clark nodded slightly, waiting for her answer.
Eva shook her head and explained, "Mr. Clark, you misunderstood Miss Rachel. She and Chester are just friends."
"Then...... How about Bill?" Clark asked again.
Recently, rumors that Rachel and Bill were dating were discussed by many people on the Internet. Neither of them said a word
about it. As a result, Clark was not sure what their relationship was.
Eva was stunned. Clark had mistaken that Clark had a relationship with another man!
"About these questions...... Actually I don't know either. Mr. Clark, if you really care about Miss Rachel, you'd better ask her on
your own," Eva stammered.
Clark waved his hand to ask her to leave when he couldn't get any information from her.
After a while, the movie Rachel was acting in was completed.
She got some time and rested at home.
One day, Michelle brought her an invitation.
When she opened it, Rachel was confused, asking, "The celebration party?"
With a smile on her face, Michelle explained, "Yes, it's a huge budget movie. Our company held a celebration party in order to
reward the actors and actresses. And you, as an important role, are invited to it."
Rachel said with a frown, "But I really don't like this kind of occasion. Can I not go?"
As soon as she thought of the cunning Nancy, she subconsciously wanted to avoid such an occasion.
Michelle smiled and said, "The director told me that all the investors, including Mr. Clark, will be there."
Hearing this name, Rachel suddenly realized that she hadn't seen him for almost a month.
She thought of his dark eyes, his tall figure and his consistent cold face.
All of a sudden, she realized how much she missed him.
After hesitating for a long time, Rachel finally agreed, "Okay, I'll go."
Michelle's eyes brightened as she realized that Rachel was still attracted to Clark.
"I'll prepare an evening dress for you," Michelle stated as she left happily.
Eva came over and looked at her worriedly. "Miss Rachel, are you really going to meet Mr. Clark? She has a fiancee."
Rachel looked at her with a smile. "I'm going to the celebration party of my company, not to see him."
Although she said that, how could Rachel hide her thoughts from Eva who lived with her every day?
Soon it was the day for the celebration party. With a fresh and elegant dress, Rachel went to the party with Michelle.
The celebration party was arranged in a high-end hotel.
When Rachel arrived, there were already many people in the party, including all kinds of celebrities and staff.
Men were all well-dressed and elegant, while women were all beautiful.
As soon as Rachel appeared, her beauty attracted everyone's attention.
Sitting in the corner, Clark took a look at her. Something flashed through his eyes.
They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but this woman was still as beautiful as before.
Rachel glanced around the hall and fixed her eyes on Clark, but he didn't look up at her.
A hint of disappointment flashed through her eyes.
At this time, Bill came over to her, with a warm smile on his face, saying, "You are so beautiful today, Rachel."
Bill reached out his hand. Rachel replied with a smile, "Thank you for your praise."
But she didn't give her hand to him. Seeing that, Bill didn't mind at all. He withdrew his hand, turned around and led the way.
They sat at the table next to Clark's. Rachel and Clark faced each other, and their eyes contacted for a moment.
His eyes were deep and dark and his face was serious. Clark stared at Rachel quietly without saying a word.
Stunned, Rachel stared at him with a red face.
"Ahem," Bill gave a light cough, raising his glass and said to Rachel, "Rachel, cheers for our perfect cooperation."
Snapping back to reality, Rachel raised her glass and gently clinked it against his.
"Bill, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you!" With a smile, Rachel took a sip. The dark red liquid slid down the beautiful neck,
making her especially elegant and sexy.
Not far away, Clark's face darkened.
Bill continued to ingratiate himself with Rachel, who didn't want to refuse under the intent gaze of Clark, and chatted happily with
him.
She just wanted to see whether he would be jealous if she approached another man?
If not, it only meant that he had never loved her in his heart.
Bill jokingly asked Rachel, "Mr. Clark is next to us. Would you like to propose a toast to him?"
With a smile, Rachel shook her head and said, "No, I'd better not. He has a fiancee. I don't want others to suspect that I have an
affair with him."
Bill shrugged and said, "I don't have a fiancee. You don't have to keep a distance from me. It doesn't matter even if we are in a
relationship right now. I don't mind it."
Rachel looked at the seat where Clark was sitting subconsciously and found that there was already no one there.
Where was he? Did he slip away silently?
