Rules of Engagement

Chapter 100 Dismiss

Blanche's worry was reasonable.

Elsa understood her mother's worries. If she had known this before their marriage, she would have flinched and escaped far away. But after getting married, she didn't feel stressed because of his sincere care for her.

Elsa smiled and said, "Mom, Ren has always been nice to me. As you said, the benefits of our small family are more important than that of the big family. As long as he loves me, no matter how powerful his family is, it won't have much impact on me."

"That's good." Blanche looked at Elsa lovingly, "in fact, Zaza, we are dignified, neither humble nor pushy. We don't need to care about the family background. If we think too much, it will only add burden to ourselves. Now the society is different. It's not in the ancient time. The most important thing is that you are happy."

"Yes, Mom is right." Elsa held Blanche's arm and walked slowly.

Although Blanche said so, she still worried about her daughter when it was her turn. Since Elsa got married, she would stand under other people's roof. The more certain she was, the more comfort she would get.

When they got home, Elsa took out those photos and put them in the photo frames. It was the first time for Blanche and Johnson to see Soren in a suit, and they couldn't help but admire him.

In the evening, when Soren came back and saw the photo frame on the desk, his eyes were full of undisguised smile. He picked it up and looked at it, "When shall we seriously take some photos?"

He turned around and pointed at the bedside. "There, Zaza, what about hanging a big photo there?"

Elsa's face turned red because of him. He usually called her like this at night. Now when they were awake, he would also call her "Zaza" more and more instead of her name.

After saying that, he looked at his watch and said apologetically, "I'm sorry that I can't accompany you and Mom and Dad tonight. Ron asked me to drink with him. He said he was going to step into the grave of marriage, so he was still nervous."

Elsa shook her head and smiled. "Grave?"

"It is the belonging. He doesn't know yet." Soren kissed her forehead, picked up the key and left.

Elsa called him, "If you both will drink, who will drive later?"

"I'll call Bob later. Go to bed early if you are tired. Don't wait for me." After finishing his words, Soren went out and said goodbye to Elsa's parents. Then he turned around and went out.

In the evening, Elsa accompanied her parents to go shopping nearby. Regardless of their refusal, she bought them some new clothes. She felt a little relaxed and a little filial.

When they came back, it was already late. After taking a shower, she read a novel on the bed. Then she looked at her cell phone. There was still no message from Soren. She didn't know when would Soren and Ron finish drinking. She wanted to ask, but she had never called Soren at this time. She hesitated if it was good to call him now.

She thought about it for a long time and finally decided to call him. At least she wanted to know that he was fine, then she could sleep at ease. As soon as the phone was connected, Soren picked it up, "Elsa, are you still awake?"

"I... I don't mean anything else. I just want to call you then I'll go to bed." Elsa didn't know how a normal couple got along with each other. She didn't know either whether calling him at this time meant concern

or constraint to him.

Soren said helplessly, "Ron is drunken now. I can't leave him alone here. If you are sleepy, go to bed early. Don't worry about me."

"Do you need my help?" Elsa said subconsciously.

Soren really wanted her to be with him at this time. Recently, he had been used to being accompanied by her. Even if she did nothing and said nothing, it was comforting for him. Worried that she might not sleep well, he said, "You'd better go to bed early. I can handle it."

When he was about to hang up the phone, Ron rushed to him drunkenly, "Call... Call Jane, Ren, give me the phone. I want to call... Jane Liang!"

Elsa was shocked. He was going to get married! Why did he want to call Jane at this time? She asked on the phone, "Ren, where are you?"

"I'll ask Bob to pick you up. It's too late. Don't drive by yourself." Then Soren hung up the phone.

Bob soon arrived downstairs. Following him, Elsa arrived at the bar where Soren and Ron were.

Soren helped Ron out of the washroom. Ron drank a lot and vomited heavily. There were still dark marks on the corners of his eyes. When Soren saw Elsa, he threw Ron on the sofa in the private room and said, "I beat him. But he still drank a lot!"

"He can't drink that much even if he is happy." Elsa walked over and smelled the strong alcohol from Soren. But his eyes were clear. It could be seen that he didn't drink much. The smell of alcohol was from Ron.

"I'm not happy. He is so bothered that he can't even wake up being beaten by me." Soren shook his head.

Sitting next to Soren, Elsa asked, "What should we do now? Isn't he going to get married? Why is he unhappy?"

"Let's wait for Jane. He has been calling Jane Liang's name all the time. I have no choice." Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Elsa listened carefully and found that Ron was still calling the name of Jane. She frowned slightly, thinking of the dress of Jane that was left in Ron's car. But it didn't make sense... As far as Elsa knew, Jane was not the kind of person who had no distinction between work and private life. Elsa could not see that Jane had any other feelings about Ron.

Elsa had seen the interaction between Ron and Chloe many times. Ron's care for Chloe was absolutely not something that a person who was not in love could do.

Soren stretched out and held Elsa in his arms. "He is hesitating whether to get engaged or not."

"What? Premarital phobia?" Elsa was shocked.

"Last time, Ron's company put an advertisement on Linchuan Daily. At last, it was Jane and Chloe who were responsible for confirming and signing the contract at the same time. Ron and the board of directors only decided to put three percent, but the final agreement was ten percent. Chloe insisted that it was Jane who had done such a thing because she had received benefit s from the newspaper, but anyone with a discerning eye would know that it was impossible for Jane to do such a thing because of her position and power. This method was quite low and despicable."

"Chloe doesn't like Janie, so she wants to force Ron to dismiss Janie?" Elsa understood at once. She had thought that Chloe was too willful before, but she didn't expect her to be so capricious. Maybe Chloe didn't care about the method. What she cared about was that no matter what means she used, Ron would protect her and help her to prove his stand and attitude.

Soren shook his head and said, "Although I don't care about those issues of them, I think Chloe has gone too far this time."

While they were talking, Ron's phone rang. Seeing the name "Coco", Soren hesitated whether to answer it or not, fearing that it would cause more misunderstandings. But finally he picked it up. Before he could say anything, the scream of Chloe came. She shouted while crying, "Ron Qin, have you made up your mind? If I see that Jane is still in the company tomorrow, we won't be engaged!"

Then she hung up the phone before Soren could say anything.

He and Elsa looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. Ron staggered to sit up and suddenly covered his neck, gasping for breath. Soren looked at him and found it was terrible. Ron had asthma, probably because he drank too much just now. Soren hurriedly looked for the spray in Ron's clothes, but he couldn't find it after searching for a long time.

"Is Janie coming? She must have it." As soon as Elsa made a phone call to Jane, her phone rang and she appeared at the door in a hurry.

Seeing Ron's situation, Jane immediately took out a spray, rushed to him and sprayed it on his nose. Ron took a deep breath and his red face gradually turned normal.

It was not until then that Jane saw Soren and Elsa. Feeling a little embarrassed, she said, "Zaza, you are both here."

Looking at Jane, Elsa didn't know how much injustice she had suffered from this job. She said with a little pity, "I'm going to call Chloe. It's her responsibility to take care of her family member. How can she always leaves everything to you indiscriminately?"

"Zaza, I just come to bring the medicine here. I'll leave right now. When he wakes up, please remind him to take the medicine with him all the time. He never pays attention to what he is allergic to."

After saying that, Jane turned around and was about to leave. But suddenly, Ron grabbed her hand and said, "Jane, you are not allowed to leave! ... Go back, go back and take the resignation letter back by yourself... I'll, I'll pretend that I've never seen it."

Elsa was shocked again. She didn't expect that Jane would resign voluntarily.

Without thinking too much, Elsa picked up Ron's phone and called Chloe. The attitude of Chloe was a little cold. Elsa didn't say much and then hung up the phone.

Jane pulled her hand out of Ron's hand. "Well, I have my own plan of whether I should resign or not. It's normal for people to get together and separate. Why do you have to be so indecisive? "

Jane said in a sad but relaxed tone. She had worked hard for the past few months, and only those who had experienced it would know the difficulty.

"I know it's Coco... It's Coco's fault. It has nothing to do with you. Jane... I want to separate work and life. Things of the private life... shouldn't be involved in work... I will give you an explanation for this matter..."

"Mr. Ron, you are wrong. You don't need to give me any explanation. This job no longer meets my needs. I won't work anymore. That's all." Biting her lips, Jane continued, "What you need to do is to give yourself an explanation. Solve the problems around you. If you don't solve the radical problems, even if you change one hundred assistants, your work and life will still be worse than now and would never get better."
