Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 1288

Raeleigh knew that his feelings for her were real and that he was being honest. However, she had lost confidence in their relationship. There were so many external factors that bothered them, and sooner or later, they would turn against each other. She couldn't deal with them and she didn't want to think about them either.

Raeleigh kept a straight face and tried her best to calm down, but she still felt sad for how unlucky she was.

The baby was gone and Mrs. Richards was terribly disgusted at her.

Getting married was every girl's dream, and marrying a partner who would stay by your side to the end of time was the ultimate goal a woman could ever strive for. Meanwhile, everlasting vows and abundant wealth were all things that everyone wished for. Unfortunately, none of those were possible for someone like her. After all, the odds were not in her favor. Who did she have to blame?

"What are you thinking about?" Jepherson's eyes flashed with distress, but he was still smiling, "This will be over soon, it's better this way. Believe me, I will make proper arrangements for you back at home."

Raeleigh didn't answer but quietly stayed in his arms as he carried her down the stairs. Since she couldn't break away from his embrace, she decided to wait and see.

Jepherson noticed that she wasn't talking and continued, "Don't ignore me. I can't read minds yet."

Raeleigh wanted to laugh at his remark but kept quiet when she saw how annoyed he looked.

They finally reached the floor they needed to be at. Raeleigh asked him to let her go, and he did. However, right after he did, he held her hand and pushed her against the wall.

There were no security cameras around them. Raeleigh's heart suddenly skipped a beat. "Jepher..."

"Shouldn't you call me Mr. Richards?" Jepherson narrowed his eyes and smirked. He lowered his head and kissed her before she could protest. His eyes were closed as he was deeply indulged in the kiss.

Raeleigh widened her eyes and moved away after the kiss. Jepherson looked at her momentarily before whispering, "Ladies first."

With a hint of panic in her eyes, Raeleigh attempted to catch her breath. Then, she turned around and said, "Let's go."

She held the file in her arms and left. She went to the conference room right after she closed the fire escape door.

The meeting room was filled with people, including Stella. Upon spotting Raeleigh, Stella nodded politely. All the people around her whispered amongst themselves as they looked at Raeleigh. They all had the same thing in mind, which was to win the favour of the higher-ups.

However, the president seemed to prefer Raeleigh over the rest of them. Compared to how indifferent she was to him a few days ago, they now seemed to be on friendlier terms.

Meanwhile, Raeleigh didn't respond to Stella as she couldn't be so hypocritical.

However, the people around them didn't think so. In fact, they all thought that Raeleigh was being unfriendly. After all, she was officially a part of the company now, so she should at least be respectful.

Though, Raeleigh wasn't the type to stoop to such levels. She pulled out a chair and sat down.

It was completely silent in the conference room. Everyone realized that the atmosphere was awkward. They all stared at Raeleigh, but she kept her head down and focused on the documents in her hands, as though she hadn't noticed anything.

Just then, Jepherson pushed the door open and walked in. In a trice, everyone stood up. Raeleigh did the same and closed the file in her hand.

Jepherson circled around and walked to his seat. Pulling out his chair, he sat down. He threw a glance at Raeleigh and tapped the table, "Sit down."

Raeleigh sat back down. This created a contrasting situation where everyone else remained standing, but Raeleigh had already sat down. This wasn't a problem to her, but the rest of her colleagues had interpreted it differently.

Jepherson smiled as he looked at Raeleigh, then looked at the others who just sat down before announcing, "From today onwards, Lamarre is permanently on vacation. I have appointed Raeleigh as his successor. She will take over all of his projects immediately. I have promoted her to the role of chief designer, where she will now be in charge of the design team."
