The car started and brushed past Louis’s car.
Louis saw Rachel’s delicate face from the corner of his
through the car window slowly going up.
eyes
Rachel did not notice Louis‘ gaze as she faced the other man with a bright and charming smile.
Seeing Rachel’s gaze on that man, Louis stared blankly at the Rolls–Royce passing by.
“Could it be that Rachel left Smith Group and flitted to another company?
“Otherwise, why is she here?”
Louis was engrossed in his thoughts without hearing his assistant’s words. “Mr. Smith?”
It was not until the assistant spoke again that Louis collected his thoughts and asked in a deep voice,
“Has Mr. Justin of the Johnson Corporation arrived?”
“Not yet, but Mr. Justin promised to arrive on time.”
“Let’s go to Best Fry first,” Louis responded.
After that, the car fell silent. Rachel’s beautiful smiling face haunted Louis. After being lost in his
thoughts for a moment, Louis broke the silence by saying, “Find out what Rachel Grey is doing these

The assistant paused for seconds before replying, “Yes, sir.”
At the same time, Rachel looked at David in surprise. Then, her bright smile turned into a meaningful
one. “The development of the project is confidential. Are you too nosy?”
“Am I?” David fixed his eyes on Rachel’s smiling face and answered with his eyes deeper, “The old
district in South Valley cannot be renovated significantly. Merely building residential buildings there
is not worth a billion at all. So I guess you have other plans. I just hope that you can do me a favor on
account of our personal relationship so that I can take the opportunity to sell the surrounding buildings.”
Rachel narrowed her smiling eyes and said teasingly, “So you want to solve the problem by pulling
strings?”
David reached out and ran his long and slender hand through Rachel’s soft hair. He then held the back
of her head, slowly leaned down, and said in a husky voice with his warm breath against Rachel’s ear,
“So do you agree?”
David’s lips curved into a faint smile that accentuated his mesmerizing face.
Rachel’s curly eyelashes fluttered slightly and she cleared her throat. “Don’t you think we are too close
now?”
“We are more than common friends, aren’t we?” David asked.
Rachel pushed David’s hand away and explained seriously, “David Jones, don’t forget that you’re only
pursuing me now. We are not in a relationship now.”
David replied lightly, “But we’ve already held hands and hugged. I’m getting closer to you to deepen our
relationship.”
Rachel was speechless.
David was really good at sophistry!
“I’ll pay 500 million dollars for 50% of the shares,” David said.
Rachel raised her eyebrows and said without thinking, “700 million.”
“900 million.”
“Deal.”
The driver and Eddie were dumbfounded in the front row.
Eddie was shocked by Rachel and David’s making an agreement
worth about a billion with just a few words.
He now suspected that his boss David was mesmerized by Rachel’s beauty.
“Although Miss Grey’s beauty overthrows states and cities, you should stay sober, Mr. Jones!” Eddie

Rachel did not expect David’s straightforwardness as well. There was an uncontrollable trace of
surprise in her eyes. “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll trick you?”
“I believe you,” David answered without hesitation.
Rachel almost burst into laughter. “How dare you fully trust me as we are just a business
acquaintance? Am I too lucky or are you too stupid?”
“I trust my judgment.”
At this moment, David’s phone rang. It was a call from Jimmy.
“David, I’ve checked that the one who didn’t play by the rules was sent by the Johnson family!”
“I see,” David replied calmly. His deep and steely voice was filled with coldness. “If there’s nothing else,
I’ll hang up first.”
Jimmy hurriedly uttered to stop David from hanging up, “Wait, didn’t we agree to have lunch together?
Where are you? Why don’t I see you?”
David’s good–looking fingers played with the edge of Rachel’s hair and he answered with a composed
look, “I have more important things to deal with. Let’s do it another day.”
Rachel glanced at David with a playful look in her eyes.
“More important things?” Rachel thought.
Without waiting for Jimmy’s reaction, David hung up.
