Hearing this, n pulled the corners of his lips and put down his wine ss gracefully. "You go back first, wait for my call."


    The assistant felt she had the upper hand, but she heard n''smand which made her face startled. Her face turned pale for an instant, and her eyes looked confused. "Young master, I…"


    "Huh?" n raised his voice inadvertently, and the assistant immediately stood up in a panic. "I''ll be back first, I''ll see youter."


    Women are nothing but a trivial matter to n!


    As the assistant left the restaurant in a panic, she gave Rachel a faint snort.


    After she left, n wiped the corner of her mouth with a napkin, squinting at Rachel. "Sit down and tell me if you have anything to say. Don''t embarrass me in a ce like this!"


    In short, Rachel''s face was very understated.


    She sat across from n stiffly, biting the corner of her mouth with her wet eyes. "Are you ashamed of me?"


    n took a knife and fork then slowly sliced ??the steak on his te. "What do you think?"


    Rachel didn''t speak, her expression a bit stubborn. "Why did you invite her to eat together? You didn''t mean…"


    "Rachel!" n called her name directly, his brows filled with impatience. "How did you know that I was here?"


    She didn''t answer, but her expression showed a guilty conscience.


    Upon seeing this, n shot a dangerous dark light from under his eyes. He narrowed his eyes and picked up the phone on the table. "Are you tracking me?"


    Rachel saw this scene. Knowing that there was no way to hide it, so she told the truth. "I… I just set it up to find out where your trip is… I''m just worried…"


    n sneered, his fingers pressing down a bit. "I gave you a new cell phone like mine not so you can track me anytime! Worried about me? What are you worried about? If I do get into an ident, what do you think you can do for me?"


    Rachel was speechless when she heard his question.


    She lowered her head, and after taking a deep breath, she couldn''t help but say, " Sorry, I know that I''ve done the wrong thing. But... You haven''t been home for a few nights, and you didn''t tell me where you went. I just… wanted to know where you were, not to follow you!"


    She said sincerely, but n let out her hidden hatred. "You keepining about it, wasn''t your promotion thanks to me? Why didn''t you just focus on work instead of being busy looking for me?"


    Rachel wanted to shake her head, but she couldn''t match her thoughts with her heart.


    She paused, as if confirming her guess.


    n furrowed his brows, smiling. "I thought you were a smart woman! You have to know what to ask and what not to ask. Why would you end up making such a stupid mistake? What a disappointment."


    Rachel raised her eyes gasping for air. "If you''re not happy, I can resign from my current position..."


    Before she could finish speaking, n raised his hand. "Is the root of the problem your position? Think carefully, you better not do anything that disgusts me, it''s not good for you."


    Rachel stared at him dumbfounded. The sun outside the window was quite warm, but she couldn''t feel the slightest bit of warmth because of n''s cold stare.


    n nced at her indifferently, then ced his knife and fork on the te. "You have to learn to be a smart woman. Don''t be like a savage woman whose job is to scream and humiliate me in public. If you were smarter, our rtionship couldst longer. Otherwise, I don''t have much energy to see your face every day."


    After finishing his words, n straightened his jacket and got up. He took the bill on the table and signed it, then turned and left without looking back.


    Rachel stared at his back nkly, and her whole body trembled in despair.


    How could this be?! The sweet talk they had at the start of their rtionship disappeared with his cynical attitude today.


    Doesn''t he love her?!


    Her life was harmonious and prosperous since n promoted her to be the manager of thepany.


    She has done a lot of things for him, and the man was very grateful.


    Why was he suddenly indifferent?!


    Rachel sat on the sofa alone and felt like a clown.


    And this sight was also seen by Lilia and ire.


    Unfortunately, they were far from n''s dining table, so they couldn''t hear what they''re talking about.


    Judging by the face alone, it''s not a pleasant topic of conversation.


    Lilia lowered her eyelids and sighed silently before she shook her head.


    As soon as ire was about to speak, a man stood in front of the table. "When are youing back?"


    They must have just seen what happened.


    If he didn''te forward to greet her, it wouldn''t make any sense.


    ire averted her gaze as she met n''s, then smiled and got up. "I just came back today, have you finished eating?"


    n raised his eyebrows, and a trace of helplessness hung over his lips. "I don''t mind eating anymore!"


    His honest demeanor didn''t seem to care about what had just happened.


    Hearing that, ire patted him on the shoulder with a smile. "I haven''t seen you in a long time, now you are getting stronger!"


    n didn''t care about this, he turned his head to look at Lilia, and sighed. "Did you see it too?"


    Out of courtesy, Lilia also stood up.


    Her gaze immediately went to Rachel. Her friend was still sitting in a daze. Then she nodded. "What''s the problem?"


    n pursed his lips. "If only she hadn''t put a tracker on my phone, maybe we could all have lunch together. I didn''t expect her to do such a stupid thing!"


    This sentence made Lilia not know how to answer.


    ire didn''t know Rachel, so she said jokingly, "It must be because you like to wander around without telling her."


    n helplessly replied, "Sister, don''t you understand my attitude towards women?"


    "I know that you''re always generous, and this kind of thing naturally angers anyone''s heart. Since you haven''t eaten well, would you like to eat together? Our dish just happens to be not ready, you can order it now if you want."


    n pondered for a moment, then looked at Lilia and finally shook his head. "No, this kind of matter is better if I don''t drag you in. Please eat in peace, I also have to go back to thepany."


    Seeing this, ire didn''t insist anymore. After seeing him leave, she shook her head and sighed. "Since the first time I met him, he''s always been changing girlfriends. Now that he''s not that young, why does he still think he can treat women like that? Doesn''t he know that his mother already wants to hug her grandchildren!"


    Lilia watched n leave, knowing that she didn''t want Rachel to see them at the same table.


    Thinking about that, Rachel already understood how their rtionship really was.


    When they sat back down and the food was ready, Rachel finally stood up.


    She walked across the hall with lonely nces, and everyone''s whispers could be heard faintly in her ears.


    Perhaps she was very ashamed of what happened today.
