His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1302 Get Furious

"Goodbye, Miss Ye!" Holley wanted to say more but Charles stopped her by saying goodbye.

Having left with no choice, she went out of his office. Charles was just staring at her retreating form,

lost in thought.

The private detective he hired was still investigating who started the rumor. But, so far, there was no

satisfying result. For a second there, Charles was tempted to ask Holley directly.

What drove him to think of her was her obvious intention. She had the motive. But what depressed him

was the lack of evidence. More so, his involvement was because of the joint project. He couldn't turn

against her now without jeopardizing the partnership.

Meanwhile, Black called Holley again. Still, there was no response. As her boyfriend, it was unnatural

for him not to see her for so many days now. This was making him feel depressed.

So, he finally decided to visit Tarsan Corporation just to see her. But, she was not around.

"She didn't come to work today?" Black felt surprised. Disregarding what others would think of him, he

still came here to see her. Unfortunately, the assistant told him that she didn't arrive.

"Yes, Mr. Hu. Miss Ye isn't at the company. She just called to inform us that she appointed someone to

handle everything and not to contact her unless it is something really important." Remembering Black

as one of the shareholders who attended the dinner celebration and stayed beside Holley all the time

during that night, she thought that this man should know Holley's whereabouts.

"Did Miss Ye mention her location and her work schedule?" Not giving up, Black grilled the assistant for

more information.

"I am so sorry, Sir. I don't know anything. She didn't inform me." The assistant looked confused as well.

"Thank you for your assistance. If Miss Ye arrives, please tell her that I am looking for her and we need

to discuss something important." Frustrated, Black left the office.

On his way to the stairs, he heard somebody mention the name of the person who filled his thoughts

every night and day.

"What makes Miss Ye so busy these days? She is not always around. Like today, I have something

important to discuss with her, but I can't find her again,"

one worker complained loudly.

This made Black more confused. Why was Holley not at the company every day? It wasn't like her. He

knew her as the person who always put Tarsan Corporation above everything else. What was she up to

that made her leave her work behind?

Suddenly, he remembered how she dealt with him these last few days. She was cold to him. The idea

of Holley loving somebody else entered his mind.

Knowing that it was a big possibility, Black felt nervous and sad.

"Maybe, Miss Ye has a boyfriend," another one answered.

"What you said makes sense. I have noticed that Miss Ye often goes out, radiant with joy. She must

really be in love. But what makes me miserable is the tons of work. When she is not around, we have

more work to do. It is so irritating."

When Black heard that, he felt chilled to the bones. Holley seldom showed up at the company. He

couldn't see her. So who was she with?

What he learned this day made him suspicious and somehow uncontrollable. He wanted to get to the

bottom of this.

Black left Tarsan Corporation in black mood.

At the Shining Company the next day

It was almost noon when Holley arrived. It was very unusual of her. This time, she brought a lunch box.

She didn't go to the reception anymore. Instead, she called Charles to announce herself.

When his phone rang, Charles immediately answered it. After hearing the voice he hated so much, he

realized it was a big mistake on his part not to look at the caller first before answering.

"Good morning, Mr. Lu! I was at the vicinity, so I decided to drop by and talk to you about business.

Can I come up to your office?"

When Charles didn't answer right away, Holley quickly added, "What I want to discuss with you won't

take too long."

'She is here again!' Charles' forehead knitted again. He looked so serious. Moreover, this made him Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

look more of a person who had a lot of problems. He wanted to refuse Holley, but he knew she would

just be more persistent and make more excuses to pester him.

"Fine! You may come up." He tried his best to answer her as simple as he could.

"Hi, Mr. Lu!" As Holley entered the office, she greeted Charles with a big smile.

"Miss Ye, I can only spare you five minutes. Make sure it is something important. Next time, don't come

if there is nothing very important to discuss. As you can see, I am a very busy person. I can't waste

time just to talk to you with nonsense every time you visit."

Charles gave her a harsh and sharp look.

Feeling awkward, Holley bit her lip and avoided meeting Charles' gaze.

"To tell you truthfully, I don't have anything important to tell you about the business. As a busy person,

you don't have enough time to eat a proper dinner. So, I brought a packed lunch for you. I made the

chicken soup. Have a taste while it is still hot. I assure you it is delicious."

While talking, she walked towards his table and placed the packed lunch in front of him. Then, she

flashed him her most charming smile.

"Miss Ye, if I were hungry, I would definitely eat dinner alone. Take your packed lunch with you because

I do not accept. Remember this: WE ARE NOT CLOSE!"

Annoyed once again, Charles said the last words harshly.

What he said made Holley look sad. She was near to tears. Worse, Charles didn't care about her and

her feelings at all.

"Am I a stranger, Mr. Lu? Because I felt like one... I wonder why you treat me so... We are partners now

and have been for quite some time. Am I not allowed to show my concern? Because I am happy

expressing my care for you and..." Holley paused for a while.

"After all, you are my brother-in-law..."

When Charles heard her last words, his eyes became colder. He knew a lot about her shamelessness.

And, if she really treated Sheryl as her sister, she would not have bullied her endlessly. And, she would

not even attempt to seduce her so-called brother-in-law.

Charles laughed sarcastically. "You're wrong, Miss Ye. My wife doesn't have any siblings. So, I am

definitely NOT your brother-in-law. Please leave my office now. In the future, talk to Mr. Zhao directly

about the project. Be rest assured that whatever you say will be reported to me," Charles informed

Holley coldly.

Unaffected by Charles' treatment, she walked around his table, stood behind him, and placed her

hands on his chair.

"Don't be mad at me, Mr. Lu, if I said something wrong,"

Holley whispered in his ear. He could very well feel her breath on the side of his face. Her intention was

too obvious.

Not expecting anything, Charles wasn't able to move aside right away. He just twisted his body a little

bit to one side, and pushed her away from him with all his strength.

Caught off-guard, Holley almost fell on the floor.
