Chapter 64 A Gathering Meal
Rachel bought a pair of female slippers in the hospital stalls and hurried back to the outpatient hall to look for Mandy. At the sight of the sullen look on Mandy's face, she knew she would have a tough time these days.
As expected, as soon as Rachel walked up to Mandy, Mandy caught a glimpse of the women's slippers in her hands. She said in disgust, "Why don't you buy a pair of more beautiful slippers? What's this? I don't know how to put such ugly shoes on."
'Where should I buy beautiful slippers at such a time?' Thought Rachel angrily. 'After all, she only wore it for a while.' It's unnecessary, But she couldn't release her anger, so she had to squeeze a smile and said, "Mandy, please. After you go home, I'll change it."
Afraid of being blamed by her father, Mandy hurried home and did not want to argue with her. She said impatiently, "Alright, take it over quickly!"
Rachel removed the transparent plastic bag of her slippers and put them neatly to the feet of Mandy.
Mandy put on her slippers and limped out of the hall with the help of Rachel. Along the way, people were occasionally glanced at them and talked to each other, whispering.
"Isn't that the offspring of officials and her sidekick in the video?"
"Oh, you're right!"
"Why are they here?"
"Look at her bare feet. She must have been injured."
"She deserves it!"
Although the voice of the passer-by was low, it was still heard by Rachel and Mandy. Though angry, Mandy couldn't lose her temper now. She had to speed up the pace, and quickly slipped into the taxi waiting at the door.
Rachel was confused. "Video? What video? "
Mandy threw the phone back to Rachel and said angrily, "Check it by yourself!"
Rachel took over the phone. Her reaction was the same as that of Mandy's. she subconsciously covered her mouth, which was wide open because of surprise.
"If you hadn't had a quarrel with that Tina, we wouldn't have made such a fuss." Mandy complained.
Rachel didn't say anything. She thought that if Mandy didn't book the room in the restaurant in advance, she wouldn't cause trouble afterwards. Now Mandy put all the blame on her. It was really ridiculous.
Seeing Rachel was unhappy and speechless, Mandy continued, "My father just called me and asked me to go home quickly. It is highly likely that he knows this. Let's think about how to deal with my father first. Otherwise, both of us will be screwed."
As soon as Rachel heard that Sun had already known about it, she panicked. If her stepfather Antony knew about it, he would skin her alive. Fortunately, Mandy could shoulder the responsibility with Mandy. Otherwise, she would be really done.
They got into the car with uneasiness and rushed to the Zhao's house.

After receiving the order from Burke, the PR department hurried to delete all the video news online, and then the video trouble was quickly suppressed.
It was late in the afternoon when Rose finished the prenatal examination with Tina. When she was about to walk out of the hospital, she received a call from Burke.
"Where are you?" The cold voice of Burke came from the phone.
"Maternity hospital." Rose replied in a calm tone.
"Maternity hospital? What are you doing there? " Burke had never slept with Rose since she had the miscarriage. What was she doing in the maternity hospital now? 'Haven't her body recovered yet after the miscarriage?'
"Go to the hospital with my friend for the prenatal checkups." Rose ignored the emotion of Burke and answered lightly.
"Is it over? We can have dinner together later, and I'll pick you up now. " Hearing this, Burke relaxed a little and said softly.
"Okay." It happened that Rose wanted to talk with Burke about the disturbance of the video. She hesitated for a while and agreed.
Seeing that Rose was depressed after she answered the phone, Burke asked, "What's wrong? Don't you want a candlelight dinner with Mr. Gu?"
Smiling, Rose shook her head and said, "I will ask Burke to send you back later."
Tina immediately pretended to be frightened. She waved her hand and said, "I really don't dare to take Mr. Gu's car. When I think of his icy face which is as cold as ten meters away, I'm really scared. He came to pick you up for dinner. I don't want to be the third wheel. My unborn baby and I want to live a few more years. "
"Are you sure?" Rose laughed.
"Yes, I'll go back by myself." Tina nodded her head firmly.
Seeing that Tina was so determined, Rose stopped pushing her. Indeed, Burke's icy face can easily hurt others as it did to Rose.

It was time to knock off in the office building of Gu Group, but it was still bright. All the workers sat in front of the computers and were busy with their work with tiredness. The Gu Group was in a rush to cooperate with the YS Group recently. Although they had negotiated on all aspects and the project negotiation was close to the end, because Burke had a high standard towards this project, no one dared to relax a little bit. They consciously worked overtime and strived to make everything perfect.
After making a call to Rose in the CEO Office, Burke closed the laptop in front of him. He casually loosened his tie, stood up to move his sore shoulder. He picked up the car key on the table, took the suit jacket from the hanger with one hand, and held it in his arm. Then he walked out directly. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Noticing that the staff in each compartment were still working hard and that they hadn't rested well for a few days, Burke stopped, turned around and ordered Mike, "Let's go back and have a good rest. The project will be suspended for one day in advance." Then he strode into the elevator and went downstairs.
After receiving the order, Mike was relieved. He was also exhausted from recent hard work. Finally, he could have a good rest. So he came back to the Secretary office quickly and sent a message.
As soon as Mike finished writing the message and pressed the "send" key, the whole office building was filled with cheers, then the lights of every floor went out, and the crowd rushed out from the gate of the building.
The moment they reached the underground parking lot, Burke heard their cheers. He smiled and shook his head slightly.
Burke pressed the key in his hand, the car stopped not far away from the villa and the headlights lit up. He strode over and opened the door of the driver's seat.
After taking the seat, fastening the seat belt, insert the key, and pulling up the brake, the car was started and driven out of the underground garage slowly.
