Chapter 747 - The Party Has Started
At this moment, Alan was standing in front of Lilia smiling. "I love her, I dare not disappoint her!"
These words took Lilia a little by surprise.
Chris was a little impatient. He saw Rachel standing next to Alan with low brows and sneered. "If you are finished, shall we come in now?"
Alan took Rachel's waist casually, looked around, and said, "You guys go first, I'll invite her to meet some friends."
Chris turned and left.
Lilia didn't know when the relationship between Chris and Alan had become more and more like enemies.
It can only be said that Alan is a good brother. But on the other hand, he is also quite a cunning businessman.
Chris' distant back landed in Alan's eyes, causing waves in his heart.
Alex, Tom and the others nodded at him, then turned and walked towards the Sahid Ballroom.
Lilia and Jean hadn't left yet. She then turned her gaze to Rachel. "I'll go in first. Let's talk again later when we have time!"
Rachel nodded. "Alright, hurry up and go. Don't let everyone wait long."
Whether this was a hunch or not, Lilia felt that she might never have a chance to talk to Rachel again after this.
There was only Alan in her friend's heart now.
And as her friend, perhaps she could only stand far and bless their relationship.
Lilia and Jean turned and walked forward, her calm face and the corners of her lips unable to reveal anything strange.
Jean looked to the side and hugged her beside him. As they walked side by side, he whispered comfortably, "Since that's her choice, just accept it!"
Lilia's steps were chaotic, and her head turned towards her husband while chuckling. "I know, therefore I said nothing."
So far, no one has been able to judge whether Rachel and Alan's relationship was right or wrong.
It could be true love!
Of course we want our friends to be happy with what they choose and worry about what to worry about.
Lilia does have doubts about Rachel's choice but she still has great respect for her decision.
The man looked at Lilia's cheek, and saw that she was calm and relieved. "Better think this way. It might not be a bad thing for her to be in a relationship with Alan!"
When approaching the Sahid Ballroom, Lilia smiled. "I hope so. Rachel also seems to know our relationship with Alan, otherwise she won't be too nervous and careful. I understand her concern. If it were me, I might as well make this choice. So let it all flow then!"
Lilia's words sounded as if she was trying to comfort herself.
But she calmly hid everything in her heart and let time do its job.
After that, she and her husband stepped into the beautifully decorated ballroom.
Lifting her eyes, she saw her in-laws James and Irene walking towards them.
...
Meanwhile, Alan took Rachel to the semi-outdoor cafe downstairs.
Along the way, Alan raised his eyebrows, looked at Rachel, and asked, "What are you and Lilia talking about? "
Rachel glanced at him and answered honestly, "Nothing, I just wanted to explain our relationship to her."
Alan's gaze was lit up, his smile attractive. "Our relationship… Is it burdensome for you? What is there to explain?"
"No!" Rachel's tone was anxious, seemingly hesitant to argue. "I ... They just don't know you as well as I do. So it can't be helped if you are suspected of having a bad intention!"
Alan frowned calmly. "What do you mean, Lilia thought I'm not genuine?"
Rachel suddenly couldn't argue.
She stared at Alan blankly, and suddenly noticed that the man's cheeks were sullen.
There's no time to explain. In the coffee shop smoking area, someone greets Alan. "You took so long!"
Rachel looked to the side and slowly lowered her head when she saw Alfred in a black suit.
"I have something to discuss, you can take a walk by yourself for a bit. If you are bored, you can go up first. "
Alan relaxed his breath and walked to the smoking area.
Rachel was left where she was, confused about what to do.
Alfred turned his gaze on Rachel's body, then looked up and down. When he looked away, his eyes were filled with ridicule.
What a fool!
Alan came to Alfred and caught his eye. "What are you looking at? Are you attracted to her?"
Alfred raised his hand and smoked his cigarette. "I'm not a womanizer like you!"
"Why do you sound so polite!" Alan answered jokingly, and took the cigarette box that Alfred gave him, then took a sip while lighting it.
At this time, Alfred looked over Alan's shoulder, saw Rachel's head lowered and walked back, then casually asked, "Are you going to announce it to everyone?"
"She's just a girlfriend, she's not worth introducing to everyone." A tone that sounded as if Alan didn't like Rachel.
Alfred moved the corners of his lips, not talking about it anymore. "Does Lilia know that you are playing with her friend?"
Alan's expression was surprised, he smoked his cigarette and smiled casually. "Of course my relationship with her is no joke. But the definition that best fits me is that this relationship is just a quest for joy."
"In this era, when adult men and women have sex, do they have to have to love and get married? I'm not Jean Widjaya, I'm not so determined to marry young! Do you think Lilia can't see my attitude towards her friend? She just didn't have a position to say any more. After all, a woman like Rachel is a fool blinded by her heart!"
Alan's attitude towards his relationship with Rachel sounded cruel. However, what he said was very accurate.
Alfred looked at him deeply, lowered his eyelids, then said incoherently, "How reluctant Jean is with Lilia?"
Alan blinked. "That's their business. I just want to remind you that the Widjaya family background is unexpected. As a colleague, I suggest not to provoke him."
"And what if he provokes me?"
Alan did not answer that question, the cold light in his eyes suddenly appeared. He sighed and closed his eyes, not saying anything.
He and Alfred are just business partners, and as a last resort, he won't interfere with Alfred and Jean's business.
Because it's not worth it!
...
Rachel returns to the Sahid Ballroom alone. After her family went bankrupt, she didn't participate in high class banquets for a long time.
In the hall, the lights are bright and the atmosphere is festive.
Most men have female friends to accompany them. As people interact, they mingle with countless deep interests.
Rachel stands at the entrance of the banquet hall, her eyes looking around panicked.
She was a little cautious and trying to find a familiar figure in this banquet hall.
But the crowd was packed, which puzzled her for a while.
"Hey, hey, look at that girl, she's Alan's new girlfriend!"
At this time, several beautiful women were gathering together, talking about Rachel.
"Huh? No way! That face is too… Ordinary!"
