His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1323 Escape

"Do as you please." Alan sat back on his chair, allowing Holley to take the call.

"Hello. Make it quick. I'm busy right now," Holley said impatiently. Although she sounded a little bit rude,

Alan still thought she was perfect in every way.

"Miss Ye, there is a document that needs your signature for confirmation. Could you please come back

to the company right now? It's urgent." The secretary spoke loud as instructed.

"Can't it wait? Do you really need it now?" Holley took a quick glance at Alan, who remained quiet in his

seat listening to the phone call.

"Yes, Miss Ye. Please come back as soon as possible." The secretary was still confused. Holley asked

her to call and deliver that message. She was not in the position to ask for an explanation.

"All right. I'm going back right now." Holley immediately hung up. She looked worried and anxious after

the phone conversation.

"Mr. Zhao, I'm so sorry. I'm afraid I have to owe you a rain check. As you heard, I have to go back to

attend to a company emergency. Maybe next time?" Using her charm, Holley blinked her pleading eyes

at Alan.

Alan couldn't help but feel annoyed by today's turn of events. His plan to spend the day with Holley was

disturbed once again and he tried his best to suppress his dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry about it. Please go ahead with your business first. We'll go out again some other time."

Grinding his teeth, Alan looked a little bit enraged as he replied.

"Again, my apologies. See you then." Without further ado, Holley grabbed her purse and immediately

left Blue Bird Coffee.

Holley let out a huge sigh of relief as she stepped out of the cafe. Her plan was successful. She finally

dumped Alan. She would be extremely suffocated if she continued to spend time with such a disgusting

person.

While on the road, Holley planned on visiting Charles in the hospital later that day. The emergency was

just an excuse. Work would definitely be a breeze.

The thought of seeing Charles made her heart race.

She hadn't seen him for a while so she wasn't sure how he was recovering. She wasn't used to seeing

him all pale and weak. Even in illness, Charles still looked handsome. His undisciplined aura made her

entranced.

As soon as she stepped in the office of Tarsan Corporation, duty called.

"Miss Ye, this is the document that needs confirmation today." The secretary listed all the assignments

that Holley required and handed over the document.

"Well, just leave it there," Holley instructed. The secretary put the folder on top of her desk and left

afterwards. Holley started working. Her mind was set on her goal to finish early so she could have time

to visit Charles.

The thought of it fueled her with much energy to finish work faster and efficiently.

It took Holley until three in the afternoon to finish everything on her plate. Feeling accomplished, she Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

finally stood up and went to the restroom. She retouched her makeup. Finishing it up with her red

lipstick, she smiled at herself in the mirror. She then grabbed her purse and left.

While on her way to the elevator, her phone started ringing. She reached into her purse to get it.

The caller ID showed a number she didn't recognize. Puzzled, Holley hesitated for a while before she

finally answered the phone.

"Hello? Who is this?" Holley asked impatiently since she was in a hurry to go to the hospital.

"You don't have to know who I am. What you need to know is that I need to see you in an hour."

Holley was surprised to hear the demanding tone from the other end. It was her first time to be ordered

around. She was dissatisfied. Who did he think he was? Why would she even agree to meet someone

she didn't know? Her brain started analyzing the situation.

How arrogant he was!

Determined to reject his request, Holley was about to speak up when the voice started talking again.

"Miss Ye, be patient. You'd better listen to me. If you refuse to see me in an hour, you would regret it. I

assure you, you would not be able to withstand the consequence."

The voice made Holley revere as if there was an invisible power stopping her. She tried to refuse but

her words were like a fish bone getting stuck in the throat.

"May I ask why first? Why would I have to meet you?" Holley asked carefully. Whoever this person

was, he had a powerful presence which made her surrender. She was left with no other choice.

"Save your unnecessary curiosity, Miss Ye. You will soon find out." His voice sounded so tough that

compromise wouldn't be possible. It was like a hard iron, clanking out and making her ears tingle.

"But at least you should tell me where to meet you, right?" Holley tried to control herself but still ended

up showing her anger at last.

"Don't worry about it. When you're off duty, someone will pick you up at your office. Just behave

yourself."

Holley noticed that this man already had everything carefully arranged. There would be no chance for

her to negotiate. So she agreed reluctantly.

"So I'll be looking forward to meeting you. I hope you won't disappoint me." Holley could hear the

confidence in his voice. He was one hundred percent sure that she wouldn't dare to stand him up.

She went back to her office, waiting to get off duty anxiously.

Who could it be? Why would he want to see her? From his tone, she knew that he must be stern. Could

he be the same person that the private detective was talking about? The one who had secretly

investigated her.

Holley's mind was full of questions. The most thing she was worried about was that this man might hurt

her. She spent the next few hours figuring things out but never found her answers.

Looking at her watch, Holley noted it was finally time to go. She had no choice but to come downstairs

anxiously and fearfully, and to wait for someone to pick her up.

Soon, Holley saw a luxury commercial vehicle slowly approaching. Standing by the entrance, she was

still wondering whether it would be one to pick her up. Suddenly, her phone rang.

"Miss Ye, the one I sent to pick you up has arrived. You can get in the car. Let me remind you one more

time. Do not try to play any tricks with me." The voice over the phone sounded cold. Holley curled her

lips slightly and walked towards the vehicle.

"Okay then. I'm on my way. Bye!" she almost shouted. Holley couldn't hold her temper anymore so she

said "bye" rudely. She didn't care who it was over the phone. All she wanted was to vent her anger.

The man over the phone didn't care about her attitude. He simply hung up.

The drive went smoothly. Holley tried to communicate with the driver on their way. She wished to get

some information to set her expectations. But she didn't expect that the driver would be as cold and

hard as a clam shell. He refused to talk.

However, Holley didn't give up. "Could you tell me where we are going?"

Annoyed, the driver finally couldn't stand Holley's questions. He replied in a cold voice, "I have nothing

to say."
