My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 87

Rick's uncle had made great effort to take the company away from Rick's father.

However, Rick came back when his uncle was at his worst. He bought the company shares from others at a very low price.

After approaching several major shareholders and the board of directors secretly, Rick successful forced his uncle to abdicate.

Moreover, Rick had also taken back the villa from his uncle.

That was why Rick was going to hold the party in this villa—to declare that he was the new owner of the villa and the company.

After walking with Rachel, Lea and Lucas for quite a while, Rick led them to the buffet hall. Then, someone came and whispered something to Rick. It seemed that someone important had arrived.

Rick nodded and snapped his fingers to get the attention of the waiter nearby. After talking with the waiter, he turned to the three of them and excused himself.

"I'll excuse myself for now. Enjoy the party," he said with a graceful smile.

"Don't worry about us, we can manage here," Lea answered.

She planted a sweet smile on her face.

When Rick turned around and left, Lea was ■d

about to say something, but a waiter came to serve them drinks. So, she waited for the waiter to leave first before she spoke. "Lucas is here to have a blind date with his sister, and yet he brought us with him. Why is Rick still so polite to us?"

Lea felt embarrassed because of Rick's politeness.

"Would you like him to kick you out?" asked Lucas.

"Well, if he came back and drove me away, I wouldn't hesitate to leave immediately," she answered with a smile. As she spoke, Lea looked around curiously.

There were not so many people in the buffet hall. Most of them were standing in small groups like them and having a chat. There was nothing interesting in particular.

Lucas checked the time on his watch and said, "Let's find a place to sit. There may be a show later." Lea winked at Rachel.

She then turned to Lucas and teased him, "Why don't you go and see how Miss Ying looks like?"

"Lea!" Lucas snapped.

Seeing that Lucas got annoyed, Lea stuck out her tongue at him.

"Rachel and I will go somewhere else. You can look around by yourself," she added.

She then grabbed Rachel's hand and rushed away. "Let's eat something," she suggested to Rachel.

"You're acting so strange today," complained ■d

Rachel. "Why do you keep on reminding Lucas of that blind date? You are already pissing him off." They were already far from Lucas so he wouldn't hear them anymore.

Lea pursed her lips disapprovingly and asked, "Aren't you afraid that Lucas will be taken away by another woman?"

Rachel rolled her eyes at her and said in a low voice, "Why would I? I don't own him, okay? Stop making fun of us anymore."

"When did I make fun of you?" Lea was somewhat confused.

"When we were in the car." Rachel reminded her of what she did earlier.

"Oh, that. I'm just trying to make you two get closer," Lea defended herself.

"You are just making troubles."

Lea was speechless for a moment. After contemplating for a short while, she said, "I'm just kidding. I won't do it again."

"Don't make us feel embarrassed. It's making us uncomfortable," Rachel said seriously.

Noticing the seriousness in her voice, Lea promised, "It won't happen again, I swear."

And then she added in a low voice, "But I don't think I did something to embarrass you."

Rachel didn't know what to say anymore. She cleared her throat and said, "Okay, that's enough."

If Lea like someone, she would expression her feelings straightforwardly. ■d

Lea was a little disappointed that Rachel had been hiding her feelings from Lucas. But then she realized, it wasn't really necessary to force them to like each other. After all, they were old enough to decide for themselves.

Since the party was not going to start soon, Rachel and Lea began to enjoy food.

The food on the buffet table looked sumptuous. The desserts were all mouthwatering. They were especially cut into smaller bits so it was very convenient for women to eat and maintain a graceful look at the same time.

As a stewardess assigned to business class, Lea had already tried various kinds of desserts on the plane, so she had little interest in them.

Rachel was contemplating which desserts had less sugar based on their appearance, so she was staring at them intently. She wasn't paying attention to her surroundings. All of a sudden, Lea whispered in her ear, "Rachel, look at Lucas' direction."

She looked up and glanced at the direction where Lucas was. Her facial expression changed slightly.

The buffet hall was definitely amazing. Its brightly lit ceiling was hung down a little. Near the entrance, there was a fake hill that was covered with fog.
