Chapter 746 - Rachel's Position

After Lilia sighed, Chris smiled slyly. "If you hugged her in such a way and aren't currently dating, of course she'll feel uncomfortable with your actions, right?"

At this time, Alan tightened his arms even more and brought Rachel deep into his arms.

He stared at her pale cheeks, shook his head and sighed. Then he said meaningfully, "Looks like you didn't tell him about our relationship?"

Tom couldn't help choking. "What is it? If you guys are really dating, your relationship isn't embarrassing. Why hide it then?"

Alan glanced at him, pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled casually. "Since you say that, I'll give you a formal introduction. This is my girlfriend Rachel. Is this straightforward enough?"

For a moment, silence engulfed the elevator.

Lilia did see the seriousness in Alan's eyes.

She averted her eyes calmly, staring at Rachel in his arms. "Really?"

She still wants to hear the confession from her friends. Even if they are together, it doesn't matter to her.

But don't hide it!

Rachel turned from Alan's embrace, then stiffly said, "Lilia, I... will explain to you in a moment."

Tom squinted at her and couldn't understand her movements. "What is there to explain? Is it difficult to reveal your relationship?"

"Tom!"

"Watch your talk!"

Two warnings came from Alex and Chris.

Tom turned angrily, snorted, and muttered, "I just want to know, what can't be said about this!"

No one said anything else in the elevator.

And Rachel's cheeks were pale.

Compared to her anxiety, Lilia was very calm.

From the beginning, she had treated her fairly and rationally.

She saw Rachel was experiencing inner turmoil, and Lilia was certainly unwilling for her friend to have too much psychological burden, so she just kept quiet.

There was no denying that Alan's introduction put Rachel in an embarrassing situation.

With a "ting" sound, the lift stopped at the third floor where the Sahid Ballroom was.

As the group exited the elevator, Rachel took the opportunity to grab Lilia's wrist.

She didn't speak, but stubbornly pulled her to the other side.

The men saw this scene. Standing still, Chris said jokingly, "When did you change your taste?"

Nobody knows what kind of woman Alan likes.

Does he like a boring woman like Rachel?!

Alan put one hand in his pocket, turned to look at Rachel and Lilia, then pursed his lips in response.

"Is it true?" Chris sneered. "I don't remember you having such a taste, so a sudden change like this really makes people uncomfortable."

After hearing this, Alan glanced at Jean. Seeing that he had no intention of opening his mouth, he said to Chris, "She is special to me, I don't care about your harsh words."

He paused, then earnestly added. "Very special!"

...

On the other hand, Rachel led Lilia to the side of the corridor and looked for a quiet place. In the corner, she turned around and said, "Lilia, I... I don't want to hide it from you!"

Lilia's face was colorless as she rubbed her sore wrist. "So, you two are really together?"

Rachel raised her eyes, stared deep at her friend's drooping eyelids, then softly answered. "Just one week."

Lilia stared at her for a moment, and then smiled, "You really like him?"

Rachel raised her eyes, and lowered her head again. "Yes, but Lilia, I don't really want to hide this from you. I've heard a little bit about the dispute between Alan and Jean. I was afraid you would be offended, so I hesitated to tell you. You are my best friend and rest assured I will never do anything to hurt you. But when I'm with him, my heart never stops being happy, I really want to be by his side."

Rachel's face was like a girl in love as she confessed everything that was inside her heart.

At this time, Lilia watched her expression carefully, then nodded. "I understand!".

"I'm prepared to date him. No matter what happens to him and Jean in the future, I will definitely maintain a neutral position. Please believe me, I really like him!"

Lilia wrinkled the corners of her mouth silently.

She believed that Rachel was truly in love with Alan.

Lilia also knew that she was revealing her position when she was pouring out her heart.

But when she saw their relationship, Lilia still hesitated. Will Rachel still be able to maintain this neutral position when the conflict between her husband and Alan occurs?!

There is currently no answer to this question.

Lilia took a deep look at Rachel. She asked the final question, "I heard that Alan has a lot of history before. Do you know about this?"

Out of care and responsibility for Rachel, she gets to the point.

After all, there is no one in Surabaya who does not know how much 'tea' Alan's previous relationships have.

Hearing this, Rachel lowered her eyelids and nodded softly. "I know, but I don't think it's all true. If you spend a day with him, you will also know that it is not true."

She had a heart for Alan since the beginning, and when Rachel followed him every day, she felt a warm feeling when she was with him. What people say about Alan is not true, at least according to her. 

Rachel didn't see herself as deserving of Alan. But she felt lucky because the man did not see her as someone lower than him. 

In other words, Alan is always comfortable when with her. And then, the love between them starts to grow.

Lilia listened to these words, and her heart suddenly sank. "Have you confirmed your relationship?"

Given that her partner is Alan, Lilia reminded Rachel not to be manipulated by him!

Rachel nodded, feeling slightly embarrassed. 

Seeing this, Lilia could not say anything else.

Apart from congratulating her and wishing her good luck, she could hardly say any more advice.

Their relationship had grown without her knowing. She only hoped that Alan could live up to Rachel's expectations.

Five minutes later, Lilia and Rachel walked out of the corridor side by side. The two of them had calm smiles on their faces.

Lilia walked and approached Alan, then said seriously, "Brother, you have to treat her well in the future. If you don't, I'll slap you myself. Don't you dare to make her cry."

She is still very open-minded, so she expresses her concerns and hopes that Alan will treat Rachel well.

Indeed, love is something for two.

She was not qualified to talk about the past, and there was no reason to question their intentions.

Sometimes, love just drives people crazy!
