His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1276 I Can Give You A Ride

Black had heard so much about Holley from his elders ever since he had been abroad. They said that

this woman had outstanding and remarkable talent in the business area. They mentioned how much

she contributed to Tarsan Corporation, and that if it weren't for her, Rachel's company would have gone

bankrupt.

He looked around, sweeping his gaze throughout the crowd inside the booth. As soon as his eyes

landed on Holley, his gaze stayed on her. Truth be told, he had been stealing her glances every now

and then. In those times he did, he was able to observe that Holley was taking pictures of those men

who were flirting and having fun with the hot girls in their arms.

Not long after, those people exited the booth, leaving Holley and Black alone.

Holley looked at her shots when she felt another presence in the booth. As a matter of fact for her as

well, she had been observing Black discreetly, glancing only at him when he turned his eyes away. She

concluded that he was the unpredictable kind of man. He was young and charming, yes, but Holley

knew that outside appearances could be deceiving if not real. This time, however, she felt him staring

at her.

Then again, it was her principle not to go near or associate herself with people beyond her control, and

she never failed to follow it no matter how tempting it was to get to know him.

Before standing up from her seat and heading straight towards the exit, she turned to look at him. As

soon as she caught his eyes, she flashed a subtle smile at the man.

As for Black, the smile caught him off guard, leaving him falling for that enchanting beam. His mind

took him elsewhere, and when he finally came back to his senses not a moment longer, Holley was

nowhere to be seen. Panicking, he jumped to his feet and hurried out of the booth, hoping that he

would still be able to catch up to Holley.

Meanwhile, Holley hailed a taxi just right outside at the entrance of the hotel.

The vehicle stopped in front of her, and as she was about to get into it, a loud voice reached her ears,

calling out her name.

"Miss Ye! Wait!"

Holley turned around and immediately caught sight of Black, running towards her.

Her eyes fell on the handsome Black and stuck like glue, making her heart race. Finally, Black reached

her. He was standing tall in front of her, his shadow casting a long shade on the ground. As she stared

at his well-structured face, her mind started to fly elsewhere.

Deep inside, Holley was convinced that Charles was the only one she loved. She never fooled around

with other men unless she had to.

She knew that this rapid heartbeat wasn't because she fell for Black. All she wanted from him was to

get his shares in Tarsan Corporation. Moreover, there was no doubt that this promising, rich man

admiring her made her feel good inside, because it was something she didn't get from anyone else.

Rachel claimed that she was in love with Charles, but she never refused to have intimate relationships

with other men, making Holley think that her boss did not truly love Charles. That was one of the

reasons she despised Rachel, and she always had been. It even infuriated her, because her claim to

love Charles felt like an insult to him.

As for Holley, she thought that she was different from Rachel, and she believed that no one could ever

top her love for Charles. She was convinced that her love for him was pure to the point that she was

unwilling to make love with other men. She promised herself that she would wait for the day that she

was going to be good enough for him. When that time came, she would give herself to him

wholeheartedly and would treat him right, letting him fall in love with her more and more.

Holley's train of thought was interrupted when she felt like Black had just spoken. She turned to him

and asked, "What?"

Black looked at her and chuckled before repeating his words, "I asked where you were headed to. I can

give you a ride." Under the bright lights of the hotel's exterior, Black gazed at Holley intently with deep

affection evident in his eyes. With a face and eyes like that, no one could have the heart to turn down

such an attractive man's offer.

"Oh…Well, I… I just felt…suffocated inside the booth, so I just left without thinking of any place to go.

How about you?" As she spoke, she lowered her head shyly, not wanting to meet his eyes for hers

might betray herself, which made her look slightly awkward.

Black's eyes widened a little as he caught the underlying meaning between her words. 'After all, she is

a girl. Watching those men having fun with those women most probably made her uncomfortable, ' he

speculated.

"Well, I don't want to stay there, either. Would you like to take a walk with me? The night is still quite

young," he replied, taking a quick glance at the night sky filled with stars as he tried to hide the

nervousness in his voice.

Since he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, it was unavoidable meeting a lot of women who

tried to throw themselves at him, most clearly just for convenience. Thus, it was so long before that he

couldn't even remember the last time he felt serious about a woman and desired to be in a long-term

relationship with her as he did for the time being. He wondered if it was perhaps when he was about

sixteen years old.

Being with Holley made him wonder as well what was truly wrong with him or if these feelings were

anyway. He could point out just by the look in her eyes that she was an ambitious woman, someone

who would do anything to get what she wanted. Even then, he still could not help but fall in love with

her at first sight to the point that there was that desire to have her burning inside him once more.

He knew that he was slightly at a loss for obsessing her, but despite that, he felt more thrilled.

Finally, Holley agreed before apologizing to the taxi driver. Soon after, the two had walked a great

amount of distance along the street and stood beside each other with only a fist-length distance

between their shoulders.

Once again, Black stole glances at Holley from time to time. The moonlight embraced her face with

such elegance that made her pretty face turn fairer. He felt her releasing a tender aura around, finding

her even more lovely and appealing.

He talked to her and asked her about random things, to which she responded absentmindedly,

because she was busy thinking about how to ingratiate herself with him and trick him into transferring

his shares to her.

It was after many topics that Black sensed that Holley's mind was elsewhere and preoccupied. He

guessed that she was tired, so he offered to drive her home. She nodded in agreement. The drive was

quiet but oddly comfortable for the two of them. Soon, they arrived at her apartment. Black hurried to

open the door for Holley. She appreciated the gesture and thanked him. Before she could say goodbye,

Black spoke.

"Holley, do you have free time after work tomorrow? If you don't mind, I want to go watch a movie with

you. There is a new movie that I want to watch ever since it got released two days ago, but I got no one

to come with me. So would you like to go watch it with me? I would really appreciate if you do."

When it came to a relationship, Black was always direct and aggressive. That was why he never

faltered or even hesitated when he invited her to go to watch a movie with him.

Holley gave a sweet smile, bewitching Black again. With fake interest, she replied sweetly, "Sure, I love

watching movies. We can go to the cinema tomorrow."

This was her strategy to fulfill her plans of getting to Black's heart, slowly but surely. She wouldn't push

him away; at the same time she would let him know that she wasn't just any loose woman he could

easily play with.

Black smiled back at her. Before he could say anything more, Holley spoke again. "Well, it's getting Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

late, and you should head home now. Thank you once again for taking me home. Good night and have

a safe trip home." Holley smiled at him once more before turning her back at him, and got inside her

house without even looking back.

As Black watched Holley close the door behind her, he couldn't help but feel slightly upset. He felt like

something was missing in him.

'I won't deny that I like this woman. In the past years, I have dated many women, but she is for sure the

most special one I have met, and I will make sure to have her, ' he resolved before getting back into his

car and drove home with a determined look on his face.

Meanwhile, the next morning, Sheryl drove with the kids in her back seat. Not long after, she stopped

the car as soon as they arrived at Eton Kindergarten. Before she let them go, she helped them put on

their bags on their backs.

Sheryl watched her two kids walk towards the gate where their teachers were greeting the children.

Clark and Shirley waved at her as they entered the gate.

"Mom, look! The weather is good. Have a good day!" Clark cried out before he walked any further

inside.

These caring words touched Sheryl's heart. She managed to give out a slight smile, nodding back at

her son.

As soon as the kids were inside the building and out of her sight, Sheryl looked up at the vast, blue sky.

'The weather really is good. The sky is crystal blue with white fluffy clouds, floating way over our heads.

Indeed, it is beautiful, ' she remarked, completely entranced by the fascinating scene of nature. She

closed her eyes and heaved a deep sigh, taking in the fresh air around her.

Suddenly, the sound of a loud horn broke her reverie.

Her eyes immediately opened, and her eyebrows arched. 'How rude of someone to honk near a

kindergarten!' she wondered. She followed the direction where the noise came from, spotting a car just

a few blocks away from the school. She narrowed her eyes to see Nick, who was smiling just inside the

car.

"Sher!" Nick shouted, waving at her.

His appearance took Sheryl by surprise. As she came back to her senses, she headed straight towards

him.

It had been such a long while since Sheryl saw Nick, and she thought perhaps, talking with him again

might make her feel better and ease her mood up even just a little.
