Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 764:

Her change in attitude suggested to Rachel that Brian must have exerted considerable influence behind the scenes. But she wasn’t interested in thanking him. After all, he was the one who had dragged her into this mess to begin with. “Thank you.”

“I advise you not to get too complacent too soon,” Brenda said, her expression stern. “Let’s keep business and personal matters separate. Regardless of your relationship with Mr. Vance, you are currently under my supervision, so you’ll have to follow my rules. You messed up the first project right off the bat. If you do the same with this one, then you can’t blame me for the consequences you will have to face. You have one month to deliver results, or you will be let go, once and for all.”

Brenda’s voice rang out with authority, and Rachel knew her word was law.

“I won’t let you down,” Rachel said sincerely.

“Let’s hope so, for your sake.”

Rachel immersed herself in her work that following week. It was exhausting, and time flew by with her barely noticing.

The next Monday, she went to see Brenda to give her report, but found the office empty.

When Rachel asked Brenda’s assistant, the response she received was, “Ms. Myers went out to see Mr. Vance. She should still be with him at the moment. If it isn’t anything urgent, you’re free to wait for her to return. If it is, you might want to go up and look for her in his office.”

“I see. Thank you.”

Rachel thought she wouldn’t have to wait that long, but the hours passed through noon, and before she knew it, she had been waiting the entire afternoon. The end of the workday was fast approaching, and Rachel still hadn’t received any response to the messages she had sent to Brenda. She had no choice but to take the documents and head upstairs.

She had just stepped out of the elevator on the top floor when she ran into Allan’s assistant.

“Alban!” Rachel greeted him warmly.

“Oh, Miss Marsh. You must be here to see Mr. Vance. Please follow me.”

“Actually, I’m looking for Ms. Myers.”

“Well, she’s in his office. They should be wrapping things up soon.” Alban led her to Allan’s office.

As it happened, Allan and Brenda stepped out just as Rachel and Alban walked up to the door. They stood there side by side, one dressed in all black, the other in stark white. Allan was elegant as ever, while Brenda was sharp and smart. They looked like a perfect match.

“Alban, you’re just in time. Ms. Myers loves coffee, and Mr. Clifford just sent over some of her favorite. Make sure you bring them over to her car later,” Allan said in his usual, pleasant manner. He had this genuine charm that always put people at ease around him.

“Come on, Allan. We’ve been working together for so long now. In private, you can call me Brenda, or Bea, just like we did back in college. It feels strange hearing you address me as Ms. Myers.”
