Contract Marriage: Abusive Love with Mr.CEO-Chapter 425 - 225: They Were Together Last Night 1_2
"You probably don’t know, but Alice might not attend my uncle’s birthday banquet this time."
"Why?"
"My uncle and Alice have been sulking."
Rebecca Quentin shook her head, confused.
"You know, last time, Howard Geoffrey used Alice to deal with that woman named Ye. Alice knew Howard was using her, yet she cooperated with him and acted, causing my uncle to work wholeheartedly for Howard. But as soon as it was over, my uncle found out Alice had deceived him to help Howard. My uncle was very angry, and to this day, he hasn’t calmed down."
Rebecca Quentin didn’t know what to say, so she chose silence.
"So, Becca, are you willing to do me this favor now?"
Rebecca Quentin looked at Chester Robinson, troubled, "But I don’t have the time... How about this, Doctor Robinson, I introduce a friend to be your partner. She’s noble, generous, and beautiful; she will definitely be able to help you!" Yes, the person Rebecca Quentin thought of was her gorgeous colleague, Nicolette Holmes.
"If it needs to be so troublesome, then forget it... Actually, I have a few female friends in New York too, but they are American. I’m afraid my uncle wouldn’t like them because he’s always hoped I’d find a girlfriend from the Flowery Kingdom, just like my father."
Watching Chester Robinson’s slightly disappointed expression, Rebecca Quentin felt very apologetic.
Chester Robinson had always helped her, yet she couldn’t even manage to help him this first time he asked...
Actually, if Alice didn’t attend the banquet, without that embarrassment, she might still be able to help with this favor...
Seeing Chester Robinson stand up, Rebecca Quentin called out quickly, "Doctor Robinson, wait."
"Hmm?" Chester Robinson maintained his gentle expression, "No worries, I don’t want to trouble you."
"No, Doctor Robinson, I’m now going to ask my boss for leave. If she agrees, I’ll accompany you to France."
Chester Robinson smiled, "I think I can persuade Emily Smith too."
Rebecca Quentin then walked to the next room, arriving at Manager Smith’s door, where she lightly knocked.
"Coming."
The sound of Manager Smith’s footsteps approached, and soon the door opened.
Rebecca Quentin greeted respectfully, "Manager."
"Becca!" In private, the manager always called her warmly like this.
"Uh, he..."
Chester Robinson took over Rebecca Quentin’s words and greeted Manager Smith himself, "Sister Emily."
Emily Smith was quite surprised to see Chester Robinson, her eyes almost bulged out.
"Sister Emily." Chester Robinson called out again, with an understanding only he and Emily had in their eyes.
Emily Smith then reacted, feeling a little nervous, "Uh, Chester... Chester, I didn’t expect you to come, welcome, welcome!" As Emily Smith called Chester Robinson, her manner seemed not very familiar, more respectful.
Rebecca Quentin didn’t notice these details; she only saw Emily Smith was happy to see Chester Robinson, so she followed Chester Robinson into Manager Smith’s room. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦
The two sat on the sofa in Manager Smith’s room, and Chester Robinson explained the purpose to Manager Smith for Rebecca Quentin.
Rebecca Quentin thought it would be hard for Manager Smith to agree. After all, she was there on a business trip and so busy; even with Chester Robinson’s influence, it would be hard for the manager to let her go.
But surprisingly, when Chester Robinson made the request, the manager didn’t show any opposition, nodding like pounding garlic, "No problem. Anyway, Becca has already completed the draft review, and she doesn’t need to be busy these two days. I was just thinking of giving her two days off to shop around here!"
Rebecca Quentin was dumbfounded. So easy to agree!
"Then thank you, Sister Emily. I’ll treat you to dinner when I return to T City."
Upon hearing Chester Robinson say this, Manager Smith immediately stood up, "What are you saying? We’re friends... Friends, you asked me for a favor, how could I refuse?"
Chester Robinson pulled Rebecca Quentin up, "Then I won’t disturb your rest, let’s meet in T City."
"Uh, okay."
"Don’t worry, I’ll return to T City with Becca then."
Emily Smith still nodded, "Hmm."
After leaving Manager Smith’s room, Rebecca Quentin asked Chester Robinson in confusion, "How come you’re so young, yet have such a good relationship with the manager?"
"Uh..." Unexpectedly, Rebecca Quentin raised the question, Chester Robinson paused for a second, "...At the hospital."
Rebecca Quentin immediately connected, "Oh, she’s a patient, and you’re the doctor."
"Yes... that’s it."
"No wonder Manager Smith treats me so well. She must also appreciate that you once treated her."
"Heh..."
As they reached the suite door, Chester Robinson said, "It’s late, I’m heading home now, I’ll pick you up in the morning, so pack your luggage."
Rebecca Quentin smiled, "Alright."
Two days later, in France.
In a luxurious hotel located in the center of Paris, Rebecca Quentin stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing at the city’s nightscape below.
Paris truly deserves to be one of the world’s most romantic cities; even the night view is unique, exceptionally charming.
The lights as bright as stars illuminate the entire city’s night sky, sparking endless imagination...
The irregularly tall buildings in the view were all adorned by the lights of the night, flickering intermittently, immersing one in a fantasy and temporarily forgetting the city’s clamor.
"What has captivated your attention?"
Until a gentle voice came, Rebecca Quentin returned to her senses, she turned around, and Chester Robinson was already walking toward her.
"You’ve arrived."
Chester Robinson placed the room key aside, when she turned to look at him, his expression showed slight daze.
"You... you look beautiful tonight."
She wore a silver-gray fitted long evening dress, with an open-back design, faintly revealing her graceful back. Rarely with such exquisite makeup, it further complemented her beauty at the moment. That elegant yet simple bun enhanced her elegance, making her overall look captivating.
Rebecca Quentin glanced down at her dress, "Your choice, fits quite well, though I’m concerned about the back..."
To be honest, she hadn’t worn this kind of backless dress before; it felt very uncomfortable, with her back exposed, and just thinking about it covered only by a thin layer of tulle made her feel a lack of security.
