A Love Rekindled

Chapter 65

Helix Group was a big corporation, so they were particular about their rules and regulations.

Since they had already stated it, it meant that there would be personnel conducting strict screening. Thus, there was no way that Caroline could take Cindy with her.

So, Caroline called Cindy and me te the office to explain this to us

"Ms. Lane, it's a shame we can't participate in this party together. Don’t worry, though. There will be plenty of parties in the future. We can take part together next time.”

Cindy lowered her gaze and whispered, "I understand."

After that, Cindy left the office looking disappointed.

Then, I thought of how Bruce would be distressed if he saw this.

Caroline also noticed this and remarked, "I'm sure this won't be the last time I'll be hearing about this."

I looked toward her, and when our gazes met, Caroline added, "Cindy brought this up in our work group. Let's not forget that Bruce is also inside it.” I understood what Caroline was saying—she thought that Cindy did it on purpose.

I started to feel a bit uneasy.

However, sometimes, what one feared most was simply bound to happen.

When it was almost time to get off work, Caroline sent a screenshot of the conversation between her and John "Mr. Harold wants you to find a way to bring Ms. Lane to tomorrow's party."

Although John wasn't straightforward about it, Caroline and I both knew what he meant behind it.

Only two people could go to the party. Thus, Bruce wanted Caroline to choose between me and Cindy.

Caroline furiously roared, "I could normally overlook how biased he is to her. But tomorrow's a special occasion. And as a student who hasn't even graduated yet, what right does she have to participate in it? Is Bruce blinded by lust?"

So, Caroline rejected John's proposal.

"As the company president, I'm sure I have the final say in this matter."

I knew she felt it was unfair for me

However, I knew Bruce wouldn't give up until he achieved his goal.

Seared that he might take it out on Caroline, I took the initiative to call him

"Yes, Ms. Fisher?"

I hesitated for two seconds before asking, "Are you free to meet up? I have something to discuss about tomorrow's party.”

Bruce paused for a moment before stating. "Address." It seemed he wasn't willing to say a word more from how concise his answer was. So, I set the place at the coffee shop Kate and I met yesterday.

Half an hour later, I sat before Bruce.© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

only I have ten minutes. I need to go accémpany Cindy to choose’a dress.” _~ -

I got choked up on my words after hearing that. It seemed that Bruce left no room for negotiation for me.

Observing my silence, he furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "What? What do you want to say?”

I advised, "Given your distinguished status, I'm sure it's not a hard job for you to get Cindy into a party, right?"

Bruce looked at me indifferently. "I told you I don’t want her to be gossiped about.”

I gripped the handle of my cup to keep calm. Then, I spoke frankly, "Are you determined to have me give the attending opportunity to Ms. Lane?"

“You're not giving to her. I'm sure you understand that it's up to the person in charge to decide who gets the opportunity."

The persopin charge he was ~ referring to was himself. And I knew that if Caroline and I acted against his wishes, Bruce had tons afways ta. force us to comply. ~~

Not wanting to jeopardize the future of our company over such a trivial matter (raised my eyebrows and forced smile. "Since you've already made up your mind, let's talk’about the-price." -
