Chapter 79: Chapter 79

Remembering that, she sobbed. So deep was the pain and suffering she had felt. If she couldn't even get Ray and completed Samuel's plan, would she die? Will Samuel still see her or throw her away?

A gentle finger wiped away her tears suddenly and made her wake up. She looked into Ray's worried eyes and cried even more. Then she pulled the man into her arms.

"Ray, I ... I'm so sorry ..."

"Shhh, calm down." Ray caught her with his open arms, patting her on the shoulder slowly and reassuringly. "Don't cry, I'm here. Tell me everything, I'll help you out of your problem."

Hailey sobbed. "Ray, d-don't go. Don't leave me, please. I ... I'm so scared."

Ray closed his eyes, he could never calm a crying woman. So he hated seeing anyone who made women cry.

Even at times like this, he could imagine the face of Alexa crying in front of him. Suddenly he shamelessly missed his little lover.

He sighed, not the time to remember that now. Hailey needed his help right now.

He let go of her hug. "I'm not going anywhere. Come on, I'll take you to Fran. See if your injuries are serious."

Elsewhere, in a small office to be precise, Alexa actually felt happy. To the point that she made the atmosphere around her full of pink flowers. She loitered near the front desk, looking like an anxious, overheated cat.

Melva saw this and nudged Sora, "Our queen won the lottery?"

Sora nodded. "The lottery of getting such a beautiful handsome man, ah, how lucky."

Melva giggled. "So that's really her boyfriend? In the photo he can be that handsome, how can our queen not be happy?"

Sora agreed. "Melva, she really is like a pure and cold snow angel. Very alluring to love-hungry souls. Oh, my gosh, I really ..."

Sora's sentence stopped when Melva pinched her. She then saw her boss approaching them. Put the pamphlet on the table.

"Do you know, soon we will get a more decent office!" Alexa said excitedly.

"Miss, is this a pamphlet from yesterday's marketing agency?" Sora was shocked. "We're going to take it?"

"Of course. I'm rich now."

Melva laughed inwardly.

Sora beamed. "Miss, I saw this place yesterday, this district is indeed being sought after by big businessmen! Could this place have potential?"

Alexa nodded. "A big businessman also convinced me that taking this place was a good investment."

"Do you mean Mr. Ray Sanders?" Melva asked. Sora, who was curious, was also waiting for the answer.

Alexa frowned.

"He came here yesterday, could he be the one who convinced you?" Sora asked impatiently.

Alexa's mood immediately became bad. "Is the world so small that he's the only big businessman?"

The two women were confused. They seemed to offend their little boss, but didn't know what made their boss angry.

Alexa explained arrogantly, "This is not Ray, but Falco Vekoslav. You certainly won't know him, but I know him well. Recently I have known a lot of big businessmen, even if I mentioned them all, you wouldn't know them!"

The two employees grimaced. Yeah, their queen always right about everything.

Melva said, "But, Miss, I think it's also thanks to Mr. Sanders that you're becoming even more famous."

"What do you mean?" said Alexa displeased.

"I forgot to tell you, but actually some of the clients who came to ask for services, some said that they went to our little office because Mr. Sanders recommended it to them."

This sentence pinched Alexa's heart cruelly.

"What? Ray?"

No! Impossible! What's in it for Ray to help her?

But Melva poured vinegar on the wound again. "Remember when we were flooded with clients a few months ago? We could accommodate ten people a day! Sora was still a new employee at that time, I was the one who handled it all, Miss! I was really stressed at that time!"

"Ah, yes I remember!" Sora exclaimed. "You were on vacation at the cruise ship at that time!"

Alexa pounded the table. "So you guys are blaming me now?"

Melva panicked. "No, no, that's not it, Miss. Because too many calls came in, I accidentally complained to one client. Thinking about why the client came at the same time to storm the office, but the client apologized. They said that in a big meeting, Mr. Sanders announced to them that a small office was in need of help. One meeting board had to make at least one call to us. At that time this client was not pushing for a party, but they were trying to make one to help us."

Alexa was dazed.

She digested Melva's explanation for a long time and her heart rate increased. She didn't know how, but her head was dizzy and her legs were weak.

"S-So you're saying that all the clients come from him? There's no one who genuinely wants to use our services?"

The idea made Alexa unhappy.

"Hm. Not really. But maybe some of the big businessmen are acquaintances of Mr. Sanders. If that's true, isn't he very generous? He helped us! He really is like a God of Help!" Sora chattered.

"Ah, how can there be such a good person when I'm married?" Melva sneered.

"Watch until your husband hears this, Melva!" Sora scolded.

"It's just admiration, Sora!"

Then the two of them got into a fight over Ray's god of help and it became a scene for both of them. Alexa didn't want to hear them at all anymore, leaving with limp steps to her office with her thoughts intertwined.

Ray helped her?

All that rush of clients coming in like ants was because Ray recommended it to them? Seriously!

No! Alexa couldn't believe this! She couldn't be indebted. If it was true, she should at least return the favor to him so that they were even.

But what should she do?

Paying for it with money? Impossible!

She glanced at the clock, it was still lunch break. She remembered that previously Ray wanted to have lunch with her every day. Could she afford it for him for these clients' debts?

It sounded impossible, but she could probably try, while discussing the matter with him later.

Agreeing with the idea, she sent him a text,

[Come on, have lunch together and discuss something. I'm waiting for you at the Chinese Restaurant at 12.30]

Alexa reread the message before sending it. She took the bag and hurried away.

With that text, it was not like she invited him directly, right? She sounded like she was going to discuss business. It won't make her look cheap.

Yeah, right.

She wouldn't be cheap to a man like that. She was a poisonous flower, no bee could touch her, not even a rich bee like Ray Sanders!!!
