Chapter19
The colleague walking behind Theodore wondered, “Mr. Schaefer, what’s wrong?”
Theodore snapped back to reality and said, “Nothing.”
He thought he saw Valerie.
No way!
Since Terrence was in Houston, Valerie must be in Houston as well.
Theodore believed that he was too nervous because of this collaboration with the Murray Group.
He was severely sleep–deprived and started experiencing hallucinations.
Theodore quickly shook his head and walked briskly toward the front desk to check in.
The next day.
Valerie received a call from an unknown number.
The person claimed to be the secretary of her fiancé.
The person told her to meet with Ricky at the Murray Group at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
Otherwise, they could only make another appointment next time.
Ricky was so domineering just like Terrence.
On the contrary, Valerie did not dislike it.
Maybe because it was just a business and they didn’t have feelings for each other.
At three o’clock in the afternoon.
Valerie arrived at the Murray Group.
She saw her fiancé in a lavishly decorated office.
The man was sitting in a wheelchair, his facial features handsome and remarkable.
Terrence was like the coldest ice in the winter. Ricky was like the coolest breeze in the summer.
“I remember my fiancée is Abbigail. Why did your mother send you here?” Ricky spoke, his voice clear and smooth, lacking the oppressive feeling of someone in a superior position. Instead, it was like a conversation between acquaintances.
“I like you, so I volunteered to replace Abbigail.”
Ricky smiled like a gentle breeze, “Valerie, not only the people in Houston know that you like Terrence. The people in Washington D.C. also
know.”
“That was in the past. Now, I have changed my mind.”
Ricky looked at Valerie, who didn’t even blink her eyes, and suddenly became interested in his marriage partner.
“Did you really move on from Terrence?”
Just as Valerie was about to speak, someone knocked on the door.
“Mr. Murray, the business partner arrived early.”
