His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1283 The Supper

Bernard had meticulously prepared Rachel some honey water. Seeing her drunken state, he carefully

supported her to sit up on the bed comfortably, so he could help her take medicine with the honey

water he previously concocted to clear the effect of the alcohol. Laying her down, he hastily made his

way towards the bathroom to get her a warm towel to wipe her face clean.

There was sadness and longing in his eyes as he watched her settle contentedly in the bed. And

despite the mix of sweat and tears, which ruined her make-up, he still found her enchanting, This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

heartbreakingly enchanting.

While Rachel had immersed herself in sorrow, Holley and her employees were having a blast.

A grand and sumptuous banquet was currently hosted by her, where all the employees and the

shareholders of Tarsan Corporation were invited. Everyone looked happy and relaxed at the festive

celebration as soft music dominated the venue. Soon, the entire Tarsan Corporation was informed

about the change of ownership of the company.

"First, I would like to thank everyone for taking your precious time to attend this celebration at short

notice. From today onwards, I will be replacing Rachel, to be the CEO of the Tarsan Corporation. I am

more than excited to consider this position. And in fact, I am looking forward to leading this successful

company to greater heights. In the time ahead, I promise to do my best and progress with everyone

here, to build a better Tarsan Corporation. Thank you!"

A thunderous round of applause filled the room after Holley ended her short but meaningful speech.

Everyone welcomed the new boss.

Glancing around at the employees, she felt satisfied with their reaction. A contented smile was

plastered on her face. Now, everyone was informed that Rachel had been ousted from her position.

She wouldn't be able to enjoy her privileges and the respect of the company anymore.

In the middle of drinking and chatting, Holley felt everything happened was so unreal. She was totally in

a daze. She still couldn't believe she finally realized her lifelong dream.

One by one, people came over to have a toast with her, and offered her non-stop congratulatory

remarks, and she gladly drank with each one of them.

"Congratulations, Miss Ye. You are indeed a capable woman!"

She was praised by a shareholder who had sold his shares to Holley.

"Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Li. Thank you for your shares so that I can become who I am today."

It was the typical conversation between Holley and the shareholders. For the entire night, she was busy

with conversing with everyone that came to her.

However, still some employees found it weird that Holley assumed the role of the CEO in an instant.

Plus, Rachel didn't attend this banquet. So they were more inclined to suspect that the two might have

some conflict. But it wasn't a good idea to gossip about their boss in such a crucial occasion, so they

just touched on this without delving into such a sensitive topic.

Moreover, this could be a good thing for Tarsan Corporation. After all, everyone knew how capable

Holley was.

Many of the people who were dissatisfied with the domineering way Rachel managed the company

regarded it as good news. It seemed that the public also took it as a positive change of the company,

as reflected by the surging share price of the company after the broadcast of the information.

Black was accompanying Holley throughout the celebration. Worried that Holley would be drunk, he

even offered to drink for her after she had too much to drink. That elicited some teasing from others,

who called him as the "guardian of the beauty."

Seeing her shining in the crowd, Black felt overwhelmingly proud and joyful. He even had the impulse

to announce to the world that such an outstanding woman belonged to him.

The banquet geared towards its end as the background music ceased slowly and all the attendants

started to leave. Holley was slightly drunk and was being held by Black. Then he assisted her to return

to her hotel room.

"Holley, I haven't complimented you myself. Congratulations on being the new owner of Tarsan

Corporation! This is my small gift for you." As he was speaking, he took out a nice-looking little box and

scratched his head.

"Open it. I'm not sure if you will like it." Then he slowly placed the gift on Holley's hand, refusing to let

her hand go as if he was enjoying the tender touch.

"Thank you." After a brief moment, she gradually opened the little box and was immediately drawn to

what was inside. She sobered up the moment she saw the crescent-shaped necklace. It carried a

mystical and elegant sense in it as the gem sparkled and glistened under her touch. It felt smooth and

soft. And that was simply amazing.

Turning her head up, she gave Black an appreciative and excited glance.

"This is gorgeous. Thank you so much for your gift. I love it." Holley grinned. Her smile was so pure that

borne out of simple joy which attracted Black even more.

"Let me help you, Holley." Black leisurely drew closer to Holley, gently pinning her hair to the back of

her ears, revealing her white and tender neck. She exuded a delicate sense of beauty, which seemed

to mesmerize him. He was in a daze and seemed to have forgotten what he was supposed to do.

"What happened, Black?" It was when Holley asked that he finally realized he had stopped for quite a

while. He was indeed captivated.

"Nothing," he said softly.

Black unraveled the necklace and circled it around Holley's neck. He gazed at the back of her neck and

kissed on it as if stamping his mark on her. The air then suddenly turned romantic.

In Lu family's residence, Nancy had just finished clearing the kitchen.

Feeling sleepy, she stepped out of the kitchen, heading to her own room. But she was surprised to find

Sheryl coming down the stairs.

"Sher, why are you not sleeping by now?" Nancy asked curiously.

Sheryl sheepishly smiled as she answered,"Charles is coming home soon. And I want to cook supper."

"Let me do it. When Mr. Lu comes back, you can just bring it to him," Nancy suggested.

Sheryl shook her head and insisted that she would do it herself. "Nancy, it's already late. You should be

resting now. I'll just cook some porridge that he likes."

"Well… Alright. Don't tire yourself too much," Nancy nagged at her, worried for her health.

After Nancy went back to her own room, Sheryl stared at her phone and dreamily fell into her own

thoughts.

She received a call from Charles, just after she had showered and was about to hit her bed.

He spoke in a level tone, which made it hard for her to figure out his true emotions. But nevertheless,

she felt elated. It was the first time Charles called her after the accident happened with Melissa. For

her, even though he didn't talk about any serious matter, nor did he say anything caring or sweet, she

just felt contented with the fact that he had called her.

The moment the call was ended, she hurriedly put on her coat and bolted out of her room, and soon

mentally planned to prepare him a delectable supper.

These past few days, he had been busy with both his company and his mother. Moreover, he wasn't

even sleeping in his own house recently, and it was a really tough period.

As Sheryl concentrated in washing the vegetable, she was already contemplating about her plan in her

heart that she would have a heart-to-heart talk with Charles. She wished to break the wall that was

separating their hearts, and hoped that they would become close once again just like the way they

were in the past.

A few minutes later, she was done cooking. She had prepared chicken porridge, which was easy to

digest, and some sour radish that would act as an appetizer. She knew she had it planned well and

believed that Charles would surely enjoy the meal. And she felt excited more than ever.
