Upon learning that Rebecca Quentin could not have children, Roye was suddenly enlightened.
Previously, he always thought it was strange for Rebecca Quentin to go for check-ups at the hospital every month, but considering her constant poor health along with several hospital visits where her dical records indicated just simple check-ups, he didn’t think much of it. Who would have thought that Chester Robinson had been tampering with the records all along? Due to his negligence, he failed to report this to the CEO, resulting in such a fatal mistake...
He felt utterly wretched!
T City, at the "QCS" company.
"Becca, let’s have lunch together!"
When it was lunchti, Nicolette Hols was packing up her things while inviting Rebecca Quentin.
Rebecca Quentin was absorbed in her sketches, waved her hand to Nicolette, "I still have things to do, I’ll order takeout later."
"Alright then, I’m starving, I’m leaving first."
"Yeah, go ahead."
After Nicolette had been gone for a long ti, Rebecca Quentin finally finished revising the design sketches.
These days she had been busy with the design project for "Oversky". This project required designing the exterior for a building project in G City, so it was quite complicated. With her abilities, it was impossible to complete in just a few days, so she would need at least another month to perfect it. Fortunately, "Oversky" had given them ample ti.
Seeing that there was one less area to modify, Rebecca Quentin leaned back in her chair with satisfaction.
She was about to get up to pour herself a cup of coffee to curb her hunger, but happened to see a magazine fall from Nicolette’s desk.
Thinking it must have been hurriedly left by Nicolette when she left work, Rebecca Quentin picked it up on a whim, but the bold headline on the cover inadvertently caught her eye.
"Howard Geoffrey, CEO of Skytop, attended the BASA charity auction with his girlfriend Alice Robinson..."
This news had actually co out on the second day Rebecca Quentin returned to T City, and was reported in both the TV and periodicals. She even knew that at the charity auction, he had bid on a rare diamond of dozens of carats for Alice, reportedly to craft an engagent ring for her...
Placing the magazine back on Nicolette’s desk, Rebecca Quentin showed no signs of disturbance and calmly walked toward the coffee machine.
After making coffee, she sat back at her desk and picked up the phone to order takeout from a restaurant.
Knock, knock.
As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard a knock on the door.
She instinctively turned her head, saw who was there, and imdiately smiled slightly.
Chester Robinson leaned against the door fra, elegantly asking, "Beautiful lady, will you grace with your company for lunch?"
Rebecca Quentin got up smiling and murmured, "I really want to, but I don’t have the ti. You know I’ve been terribly busy lately."
Chester frowned, "Not even ti for lunch?"
Rebecca Quentin took a sip of coffee, "Nope, I just finished one revision, and I need to find other flaws in the design."
Chester walked over to Rebecca and saw her drinking coffee, showing displeasure on his face, "Didn’t I tell you not to drink coffee on an empty stomach?"
Rebecca Quentin imdiately placed the coffee behind her.
Chester crossed his arms, "Dump it."
"Hey, I just made it..."
"Dump it!!"
Rebecca Quentin glared at Chester disdainfully, reluctantly pouring the coffee into the trash bin.
Only then was Chester satisfied. He glanced at the pile of sketches on her desk and asked, "You have this much work just in the morning?"
"Of course not, these sketches are already done. I’m just reviewing them to perfect the design."
"Becca, people require food to keep going..."
Before Chester could finish speaking, Rebecca Quentin already picked up her bag and pushed Chester out of the office, "I suddenly feel very hungry, I would be honored to keep you company for this al, let’s go!"
In the quiet Italian restaurant, there was only the soft sound of utensils clinking on plates.
Rebecca Quentin looked around in annoyance, then softly said to Chester across the table, "Why take to such a fancy restaurant?"
Chester spread out his napkin, "I always have standards for food quality."
"But it seems like everyone here is a couple..."
Chester glanced up at Rebecca, "Is there a rule that non-couples can’t co to an Italian restaurant?"
Rebecca lowered her head in embarrassnt, "No, there isn’t."
"You’re paying for this al."
Chester’s voice ca without warning. Rebecca abruptly looked up, "Huh? Doctor Robinson, you’re mistaken. You invited here, not the other way around."
