Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1667 Having An Affair (Part Two)

On the other hand, Annie secretly bit her lower lip and wondered if she was going too far. They were

designing the products in accordance with YS Group's image after all and it was understandable for

them to have their own thoughts. However, she really didn't like to be bothered while she was working.

"I agree. Janice, remember to add those two items to the contract." After a short consideration, Duke

decided to agree with Annie. Since he had chosen her company as a partner, he should trust her.

Moreover, Annie was Rain's beloved woman and he hoped that he would help Rain win her heart

again.

"Thank you, Mr. Leng." Annie was thrilled. She didn't really expect Duke to say yes.

"No problem. You're Rain's friend and I will do whatever I can to help you." Duke gave her a friendly

smile.

"Uh, Mr. Leng, could you please not tell him that I'm in S City?" Annie asked, embarrassed. She was

worried that she couldn't help but warn Rain about his wife's affair thoughtlessly once she met him.

"Can you tell me why?" Duke asked confusedly. He furrowed his eyebrows and remembered what Rain

had told him before. 'Does she really forget Rain? That can't be possible!' he thought.

"We both live a happy life now. So there's no need to bring more trouble." Annie smiled bitterly as she

didn't think that she was able to get back together with Rain again.

"I think you mean you live a happy life now." Disdain was suddenly written all over Duke's face. He

thought that Annie had a happy family now and didn't want Rain to disturb them.

"Mr. Leng, I don't get your point," Annie said with a frown. 'Is Rain not living a happy life? He has a

beautiful wife and an adorable son. Oh, maybe Mr. Leng knows that Rain's wife has an affair," she

thought to herself.

"You'll get my point as long as you still care about him," Duke said in defense of his best buddy. His

goal was to help Rain win her heart back. He really didn't want Rain to live in sorrow.

"Mr. Leng, the contract is ready." Janice entered the office at that moment, which helped Annie escape

the embarrassment. Otherwise, Annie didn't know how to respond.

"The next thing is to find the suitable model for our products. I've already found one. However, I think

it's still necessary to listen to your opinion." Duke looked at Janice and asked her to give Annie the

model's information.

"Sure." Annie took over the documents and started to check on the model. The model was pretty and

bright. 'If only she could be a little reserved, ' thought Annie.

"What do you think of her?" Duke asked. He got a little worried when he saw her furrowed eyebrows.

He was suddenly wondering if she would vote the model down. They had picked Eleanor as the model

before as they thought that she was perfect for their products.

"I have no objection." Annie knew that it was extremely hard to find a model that would fit the product

perfectly. After all, this one was able to demonstrate the products fine. She knew that happiness was

based on contentment and she decided to accept the model.

"Yep. Okay then. We'll arrange a meeting for you and the model, thus, you can tell her your ideas."

Duke felt a sense of relief. He had even asked Rain to set up a honey-trap for Eleanor just to make her

work for them.

"Sure. If you don't need me for anything else, I'll take my leave now." Annie stood up. She wanted to

take her children to stroll in the city.

"Miss An, may I invite you to dinner?" Duke asked in an attempt to create opportunities for Rain.

"What about some other day? I really don't have time today." Since they just moved to S City, Annie

wanted her children to get used with the city's environment soon. Moreover, the nanny she had was

new, thus, she was still worrying that she might not be able to handle the twins.

"All right. Please call me when you are free." Duke didn't insist. As Annie would live in S City for a long

time, he believed there would be plenty of chances for Rain to court her.

"See you, Mr. Leng." Annie wanted to leave Duke's office as soon as possible. Duke got an odd smile

on his face and her gut feeling was telling her that she should run to safety.

"Janice, please escort Miss An out." Duke looked at Annie's receding figure and pondered hard on how

to help Rain.

"Yes, Mr. Leng." Janice trotted towards Annie. She was very curious about Annie's identity as Duke

showed great interest in her. She even wondered if Duke had a crush on her.

After the door was shut, Duke picked his phone up and called his good buddy, Rain.

"What are you calling for? I'm busy." Rain's cold voice came from the other side of the line as soon as

the call was connected. Rain couldn't help but get angry at Duke because he had invited Eleanor to

dinner the other day despite his unwillingness. It was all because of Duke.

"I want to tell you something about Annie. Are you still busy?" Duke teased him with a cunning smile.

"Come on! Don't make a fool of me. I won't be tricked. What's more, she has nothing to do with me

now." Rain buried himself in a lot of documents while speaking with Duke. Edward had been abroad for

business these days. As a result, Rain had to deal with the businesses of both FX International Group

and KD Group. He was exhausted and in no mood to chat with Duke.

"Really? She has nothing to do with you now? You know what, she just left my office," Duke said

casually like he was talking about the weather. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

"Are you serious?" Rain dropped the documents and stood. He began to feel nervous.

"I won't lie to you, okay? And let me tell you this, she's in the city with two children. There's no man

around her." Duke felt that he had done a lot for Rain. If Rain still couldn't take this opportunity to win

Annie back, there was nothing Duke could do to help him.

"How did you know that?" Rain still couldn't believe what he heard.

"Janice told me. Do you think she was lying? She was the one who arranged an apartment for Annie."

If Duke had known that Annie was with Doyce Jewelry, he would not have arranged a nanny for her.

Instead, he would have sent Rain there.

"Where does she live? Give me the address," Rain asked anxiously. He swore, if Duke dared to lie to

him, he would teach him a hard lesson.

"I don't know her address but Janice knows it. However, I have her number. Do you want me to tell you

her number?" Duke asked with a teasing smile. He decided to not give Rain the number so easily.

"Give me the number!" Rain picked up his pen to write it down.

"I can give you the number. However, what do you plan to offer in exchange?" Duke flashed a cunning

smile. 'Dude, you always oppose me. This time, I won't let you have Annie's number so easily, ' he

thought.

"You brat! Two bottles of Hennessy! Are you satisfied?" Rain thundered through gritted teeth. If Duke

were right in front of him, he would punch him on the face.

"Ouch! My ears! Are you trying to murder me?" Duke complained. Luckily, he had already moved his

phone away from his ear.

"I'm in no mood to talk nonsense with you. Give me the number, now!" Rain threatened. He still had a

lot of work to do and he didn't want to argue with Duke anymore.

"I'll text you the number when I'm in a good mood." After saying that, Duke immediately hung up. He

didn't want to face an angry Rain.

"Damn it!" Rain banged his phone on his desk. He knew Duke was getting even with him for the model

thing. 'Mr. Cold is as cunning as Edward!' he thought to himself.

Rain was in no mood to deal with the documents anymore. Thus, he stood and walked to the French

window as he thought of Annie.

Although Duke told him that there was no man around Annie, she had two children. Who was the

children's father? Did they get married? Or had they already divorced each other? A myriad of thoughts

flooded Rain. He needed to figure it out and think about what he should say when he saw her next

time.
