His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 1343 Please Come Back To Me

Looking sideways, Holley was frightened out of wits when she saw Black. On the back of her mind, she

could foresee the terrible consequences the incident would cause her and how things would slip out of

her control. Without any hesitation, she loosened her grip of Charles and trotted towards Black

subconsciously.

When Black saw her approach, his face turned ghastly pale with anger. Turning his head away from the

unpleasant sight, he ignored Holley and strode away immediately. Holley tried to chase his footsteps,

however, Black was a tall man with long legs and he was determined to leave this place and keep his

distance away from her. Thus with his long strides, it was impossible for her to catch up with him.

Black went out of her sight soon. Holley had to give up and leaned against the wall, panting. She pulled

her phone out and called Black, but couldn't get through. She had to explain to him, but he just refused

to listen to her.

Sad and dejected, Holley didn't know what to do. But no matter how restless she was, she had to cheer

herself up and force herself to attend the meeting.

The meeting was resumed and Holley pinched her arm, trying her best to focus on what others were

talking about, but she just couldn't concentrate. She just sat there in a trance. The project manager of

Tarsan Corporation was talking something about the plans, but she couldn't care less. Her mind had

drifted away.

"And this is our opinion. We insist on Plan A. Thank you!" The delegate of Shining Company made a

bow and returned to his seat.

After that, the delegate of Tarsan Corporation also stated his opinion. Time was going by, yet the

members still couldn't reach a consensus on this issue. The delegates were restless and raising their

voices as to force the meeting to a stop. However, the project manager of Tarsan Corporation stood up

and raised his voice breaking the incessant huddles.

"Miss Ye, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this," motioned the project manager of Tarsan Corporation,

shifting his eyes towards Holley's direction. Both sides could not convince each other, and the

atmosphere grew tense, so he wanted to seek help from Holley.

To his dismay, however, Holley was absent-minded. All she was thinking about was the man who had

turned his back on her. When she suddenly heard someone call out her name, she came back to earth.

She cleared her throat and blinked nervously. "Excuse me, but could you repeat your question? I didn't

catch it."

"What do you think of the reasons that the Shining Company gave us in adopting Plan A, Miss Ye?"

With every eye in the meeting room focused on her, Holley was in a cold sweat. She clenched her fist

and forced herself to come up with an answer, considering that her brain was almost blank yet

preoccupied at the same time. Though she was thinking hard as to answer the question, still nothing

concrete came into her mind.

As a matter of fact, she was completely at a loss as to what they were talking about, let alone the

reasons given by the Shining Company. But she couldn't just tell them that she was absent-minded, or

else not only her but the whole Tarsan Corporation would be disgraced. Right at that crucial moment,

she panicked even more at the thought that she was carrying the name of the company with her and

that she would dragged them down in case she failed this time.

"Well...I think there is probably some truth in their arguments, but according to the project itself and the

particular case of Tarsan Corporation, the question as to whether we should adopt Plan A is still up to

discussion. Thus, I suggest that we keep it that way for the mean time. Maybe…uh..maybe it would be

for the good of everyone, right?"

Confused as to where the words came from, Holley's answer was vague and ambiguous. It was

nothing but rubbish to the attendees of the meeting. Everyone, including the managers from the

Shining Company, cast a strange look at her, which had put a huge strain on her. Everyone, including

the project manager of Tarsan Corporation, had expected something from her. Something that would

probably put an end to the endless argument and force the battle towards their side. However, hearing

the words from her, everyone was surprised.

Unused to hearing such a vague opinion from Holley, Charles glanced at her coldly. Yet deep inside

him, he was laughing secretly. He looked down upon and pity those who were perfunctory, and

believed that Holley was not qualified to be his partner nor his opponent.

As silence commenced after Holley spoke, the project manager of Tarsan Corporation noticed the

embarrassing atmosphere. Thus he smiled and stood up. "It seems that we can't reach an agreement

today. Why don't we call it a day and discuss it later, so we can have more time to think about it and

improve the plans? Mr. Lu, Miss Ye, what do you think?"

By the way it appeared, Holley knew that he was trying to extricate her from the awkward situation. She

had no choice but to nod her head in haste. Furthermore, she also realized that it would be to her

advantage because she could escape and look for Black immediately. She was desperate after all.

On the other side of the table, Charles also nodded in silence. Others, then, echoed his words. They

collected the papers spread on the table, moved their chairs and left the meeting room. Off they went,

and Holley herself couldn't wait for the room to be emptied for her to hurry out. She thought it would be

rude as a member of the host company to leave the room first.

After everyone had left, including the project manager who gave her a quizzical look before leaving,

Holley rushed out anxiously. All she wanted to do now was find Black, explain to him and make it up

with him again. She couldn't afford to let the day end knowing that Black was mad at her.

When she got out of the meeting room, Charles walked past her. But she couldn't care less. She had

completely forgotten her former plan, thus she just let him pass and tried to shut every idea of Charles

out of her mind at the moment. Though it was hard for her to do, still she managed to do so for her own

good.

Holley still remembered the words that Rex said to her that night. He warned her not to hurt Black's

feelings anymore, or he would take revenge on her relentlessly. For sure she would be sorry in case

that happened. Though Black had done her no harm yet, she was too afraid to dare him and fuel his

anger.

At the thought of this, Holley's face went pale with fear. When she came to the gate of the company,

she was already in a cold sweat. Cold shivers ran down her spine as she thought about how she would

explain everything to Black.

With her mobile phone in hand, she kept calling Black, hoping he could answer the phone. To her

disappointment, no matter how many times she called him, all she could hear was the machine's cold

voice, "Sorry! The number you dialed is unattended."

At the Hu Group, cold air welcomed Holley as she entered. Determined to face Black, she went to the

reception area and asked, "Hello, my name is Holley Ye. I have to see Mr. Hu right away. Could you tell

him that I am here?" Normally it would take more than an hour to get to the Hu Group, but Holley was

so anxious that she beat several red lights and managed to arrive there in forty minutes.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Hu is not here. He left his office earlier. You can leave a message and I'll tell him as soon

as he comes back." The receptionist was a young girl, and judging from the expressions on her face,

she gave Holley an honest answer. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

'What? Black is not here? Then where could he be?' she thought silently. Frustrated, Holley had come

all the way from her company to find Black, only to find that he had left his office. But she had to

explain to him; she had to do that no matter what. Determined as she was, she glanced at her

wristwatch and thought that she had still time to find him and fix everything. Thus she looked at the

receptionist and said, "I see. Thank you."

In her haste, Holley nodded at the receptionist politely and rushed out immediately. Black wouldn't

answer her phone call, so she decided to go to his house and try her luck.

"That Miss Ye might be a girlfriend of Mr. Hu if you'll ask me." A clerk leaned against the front desk,

holding a cup in her hand. "So she came here to find him? Just look at her, so anxious and desperate.

Maybe Mr. Hu has broken up with her and she doesn't want to give up easily. So she came and tried to

make up with him." Leaning even closer, the clerk whispered to the receptionist. Almost every girl in the

company knew Black's reputation when it came to women. Thus, Holley's actions were not new to

them.

Furthermore, it couldn't be denied that girls were extremely imaginative, and the clerk as proof of that.

Much even more of a fortune teller for that matter.

"Is that so?" the receptionist asked in astonishment upon hearing the clerk's assumptions. Young and

innocent as she was, the receptionist didn't think that way and was surprised to hear her colleague's

words. Without any idea of what was happening, she just simply believed on everything that the clerk

had said., "You see, she was so anxious to see Mr. Hu that she was almost bathed in sweat. If she

came with some business, then why did she refuse to leave a message? So I think she came here for

some private affairs. Since it is a private affair, what else can it be aside from emotional disputes? I

really think Mr. Hu dumped her."

The clerk was a middle-aged woman who liked to tittle-tattle and was extremely good at it. The

receptionist was soon convinced by her analysis and nodded with admiration. Looking at Holley's back

as she headed towards the exit, the receptionist couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Though she had her back on them already, Holley knew that they were gossiping about her, but she

had no time to argue with them. She ignored them, hurried to her car and started it. The car roared

down the highway and headed for Black's house.

After a couple of minutes, she stopped the car at Black's gate.

"Black? Are you home? Please talk to me."

At the gate, Holley kept pressing the doorbell and calling his name, but nobody answered the door.

Holley was starting to get hopeless this time.

Desperately, Holley had been looking for Black since the moment the meeting was over, but she

couldn't find him anywhere. Now she was overwhelmed by regret, fear, and tiredness. She threw

herself down in an agony of pain and sorrow.

She tried his phone again, but Black's phone was still powered off. Holding the phone in her hand,

Holley laughed bitterly to herself. This time, she had pushed him over the edge and he was really mad

at her. Holley always had confidence in herself, but this time was different. She was not sure whether

she could make up with Black again. "Please, come back to me," murmured Holley painfully as bitter

tears fell from the corners of her eye.
