I Actually Like You

The business meeting with the clients coming from London would be held today. It will be held in a five- star hotel in the city. Chad personally chose the dress that Rachel would wear today. Rachel refused to go at first, but Chad insisted.

First, he wanted to let everyone know that Rachel is his girlfriend and no one can replace her in his heart. Secondly. he wanted her to meet the business client. Mrs Torres was so angry when she heard that Rachel would be following them to the hotel. She had planned that Mina would be the one to follow them and that way, she would get closer to Chad, but who would have thought that Chad would want to bring Rachel along with him.

Later at night, Rachel was in her room dressing up. One was doing her hair, the other was doing her makeup and the other, her shoes and dress. Chad made sure she was treated well

After dressing up, Rachel looked at her reflection in the mirror.

"Ma'am, you are so pretty" one of them complimented.

Rachel was stunned by herself in the mirror. She wore a red off- shoulder short gown and her tied hair, which reveals her beautiful neck and clavicle, making her look pure and sexy. She was like a peony, beautiful and elegant.

"You look just so beautiful tonight"

Rachel turned her head to see Chad standing at the door with his hand in his pocket. She smiled at him and then, turned back to look at herself in the mirror again. Chad walked up to her and put his hand around her waist, then he pulled her closer. "Let's go" Rachel smiled and nodded.

The both of them left the room together. When Mina saw the both of them walked down the stairs together, she became jealous. She was so angry that her face turned red.

Why does Rachel have to spoil her plans all the time. She herself would be going with them to meet the business client, but... She won't be able to get closer to Chad because Rachel would be there.

Thinking of all this made her blood boil in anger. She just felt like smashing Rachel's face in a clear glass window. She felt disgusted by the way Rachel is always with Chad, but she can't do anything, but to wait for sometime because she believes that Chad would be hers very soon. She would always tell herself to calm down. Even Mrs Torres told her that

Chad and Rachel climbed into the same car while Mrs Torres and Mina used a different car.

...

They all sat in the VIP room waiting for the investors. The waitress brought them foods and drinks while they were waiting.

Not long after, the business client came in. "We are sorry we came late. We were caught in a traffic jam on our way here" One of the investors, Olivia said as they sat down on the chair. She was dressed in a blue shirt and a black pant.

Chad looked at them and said, "It's nothing"

Olivia looked at Rachel. "Wow! she is so beautiful. Who is she?"

Chad glanced at Rachel. "She is my girlfriend" he said proudly. Chad doesn't care whether she is a poor farm worker. but he is very proud to say she is his girlfriend.

Mina frowned unhappily after hearing his words.

"Who would have thought that this beautiful girl was actually Chad's girlfriend" Olivia stretched her hand towards Rachel. "Hi! my name is Olivia"

Rachel shook hands with her and smiled, "My name is Rachel. Nice to meet you, Miss Olivia" she said and Olivia smiled back. "Nice to meet you. I actually like you, Rachel" Rachel did not say anything, but she only smiled.

Mina and Mrs Torres were already boiling in anger. Who would have thought that this poor, farm worker would actually get all this compliments from Olivia. This Rachel is always taking everything. First, she took Chad and now... Why Rachel?, Mina could not stop thinking.

Before Olivia could say another word, Mrs Torres quickly said, "Since we are here for business, let's talk about business" she hated the fact that they are complimenting Rachel instead of Mina. She just don't like the way Rachel is with them.

She added on, "But before we start, I want to introduce her to you" she pointed at Mina. "This is Mina"

Olivia looked at Mina and smiled. "Hi, nice to meet you" and Mina said politely, "Nice to meet you, Miss Olivia" the other too greeted her.

It is true. Rachel is not as beautiful, rich and educated as Mina, but she has this special things which makes her different from Mina. Even from other girls. That is what makes Rachel special. No one can replace her in Chad's heart. No one. Not even Mina.

While they were taking about business, Rachel excused herself to go to the bathroom. "Excuse me please," Rachel said politely and stood up, but before she could take two steps forward, Chad grabbed her hand. "Where are you going to?" he looked up at her and asked.

"To the washroom. I will be back soon" she said and Chad nodded, then she went to the bathroom. After a while, Rachel came out of the washroom. Just then, Mina put out her leg on the way and Rachel who didn't see that tripped and twisted her ankle, then she fell.

"Ahhhhhhh..." Rachel screamed as she fell to the ground. Mina quickly removed her leg and pretended as if she did nothing. Chad immediately stood up and walked towards Rachel. "Rachel, are you okay?"

Rachel lifted her head to look at Chad and tears rolled down her cheeks. "Chad, my leg... It's hurts so much. I can't take the pain" she shakes her head as she said so.

Chad heart ached when he saw her like this. Her face was pale and her eyes were bloodshot. He quickly removed her heels and touched her foot.

"Ouch... Don't touch it" Rachel felt a sharp pain when Chad touched her leg. Seeing her like this makes Chad's heart ached the more. Olivia walks over. She patted Rachel's back slowly. "Chad, we should talk about this later. Take Rachel to the hospital first" Chad carried Rachel in his arms and took her out, then the car drove towards the hospital in a full speed.

Mina's face darkened. What she was expecting is not what she is seeing. She wanted to embarrass Rachel, but it seems that it's exactly the opposite that happened. The way Chad took care of Rachel even made her angry the more.

Mrs Torres brushed Mina's arm gently and gave her a 'What was that for' look. Mina raised her eyebrow and looked at Mrs Torres, but before she could say anything, Olivia had already said, "Mrs Torres, we should continue this meeting later"

Mrs Torres turned her head to look at her and smiled, "Of course"

"Please, take good care of Rachel" Olivia said.

Mrs Torres frowned. It seems that everyone cares about Rachel, but she immediately broke into a smile before Olivia could notice she was frowning. "Of course, I will" Olivia and the other business clients left the restaurant after.
