My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Chapter 758 Dinner (Part Two)

"I want to announce that you are no longer my best buddy!" Declaring thus, Rain walked over to the desk to pick up the document he had brought before leaving the office. He was upset over Edward's words and had to find a quiet place to get over the hurt.

As he watched Rain's receding figure, Edward sighed with profound resignation. When Rain was unable to straighten himself out, he was deaf to others' advice. Edward could only remind him of the possibilities, but it all depended on Rain himself.

It was late afternoon and the sun was low in the sky. Belinda was awestruck by the wedding dress in front of her. The white dress was adorned with Swarovski pearls and perfectly cut crystal beads that glowed in the bright light. She was eager to try it on, but the medicine was still fresh on her wounds. She could only imagine how she'd look in the dress.

"Belinda, what do you think? Do you like it?" Leena was proud of her masterpiece and eager to see Belinda's reaction.

"I love it! Leena, thank you so much!" Belinda was so delighted that she could hardly bear to put down the dress. She couldn't believe she was getting married soon.

"I'm glad you like it. I spent a lot of time and energy on it." Leena grinned. She was thrilled her work was appreciated.

"What? You mean you made this dress all by yourself?" Belinda widened her eyes at Leena. Duke had told her before that she wasn't yet fully able to undertake such a task alone.

"Of course! I designed it and selected the materials. Unfortunately, there was no similar cloth in the country, so I sent the drawing to a friend of mine in Paris and asked her to make it for me. Look at these pearls and beads! I sewed them myself." Leena touched the gleaming material softly with a satisfied smile.

"Wow, you're brilliant! Why did your brother tell me you haven't finished your apprenticeship yet?" Belinda asked in confusion. She loved the wedding dress so much. It was both fashionable and graceful. To her, it looked like it was made by a top designer.

"Well, this dress is only for practice." Le

They wondered if Mr. Leng and his girlfriend, who was the president of YS Financial Group, had broken up? Was Rachel Mr. Leng's new girlfriend? Why did they look so close?

"Help yourself. Don't mind me, " Duke said with a frown. He was annoyed at Rachel's actions, but he didn't want to embarrass her in front of so many people. He picked up his chopsticks and took a piece of the beef by himself.

Rachel was not discouraged by Duke's reaction. She kept feigning to be close with Duke by leaning against him and trying to make him taste the dishes. The others had started to question if Rachel was Duke's new girlfriend, and that was exactly what she wanted. She wanted them to cook up stories so that Belinda would get suspicious.

Rachel didn't care that Duke was about to get married. She wouldn't pass any chance to drive a wedge between Duke and Belinda. According to Rachel, only she could be Duke's wife. They were made for each other. Belinda was boring and didn't hold a candle to her. Belinda didn't deserve to stand by his side.

"Boss, we're going to the club later. Would you like to join us?" A girl asked Duke with a hopeful expression. She was nervous that Duke would say no.

"Yes! Boss, please come with us." The others echoed the sentiment. It might feel uneasy being around Duke, but each of them fantasized about a romantic time with this handsome man.
