My Crazy Rich - Ard

Chapter 23: Not Him

A woman walks confidently into the father's room. A smile rose on his face, upon hearing the news that his own father would try to cooperate with Dday Holdings.

"Is Daddy inside?" rose asked the assistant outside the father's room.

"She, Miss."

Rose knocked on the door before entering.

"Lake in." After getting an answer, he opened the door and stepped inside.

"Daddy," said Rose, carrying a file in her hand.

"What's wrong?" ask Ben without looking at the princess because she is still focusing on the file in front of her.

"I heard, Daddy wants to apply for a partnership with Dday Holdings?" ask Rose without further ado.

Just a nod of the head that Ben gave in response to his daughter. During this time, Rose was notoriously ambitious in terms of business and also tried to get a chance to replace Ben. Meanwhile, Roy is just a stepping stone for the woman so that her career in this company will be easier later.

In addition, the reason Rose took her away from her brother was also out of envy and wanted to prove to her stepfather that she was better at everything than Ben's unreliable biological daughter. Just because Rachel chose a different path from the one her father had determined.

"I brought some interesting project offer files to be submitted to cooperate with them later, Dad," he said, handing the file over to his father's desk.

Again just a nod of the head that Ben gave in response. He did not even intend to open it in front of the princess first, even if it was just to check on her.

However, it wasn't Rose's name if it didn't have much sense. The goal is not only to get a big tender, but also to get the catch of a richer man, Reymond Day. Although the age of the two is quite far apart and Rose herself is already engaged to Roy, unfortunately it does not undo her intention to be in the dream position of women.

"Emth, Dad. I heard he's very difficult to work with." No response from Ben. Who does not know DDay Holdings who is so choosy in looking for business relations. Even Roy also failed yesterday just to cooperate with the marketing. "How about we invite him to dinner, Dad?"

Rose's proposal to stop Ben's activities. The man shook for a moment, then put the pen in his hand and looked at the princess intently. It's not a bad thing to invite Rey to dinner together before talking about business. In addition to creating a more relaxed atmosphere, he can also establish more intimacy later. Mana knows can double make Reymond as the next daughter-in-law candidate.

"Daddy think about it later. Let Sam set it up later."

"Dad, isn't Sam's taste too classic later? What if I was the one looking for the best restaurant. We young people want a fresh atmosphere. Shouldn't we show our clients sincerity first, before we work together?" Rose said persuading.

That's true what Rose said. However, Ben was also not ignorant of Rose's current intentions and goals. But the most important thing for him right now is to work with them. He agreed with the princess. "Then I leave it to you this time. You can tell Sam later the place you choose."

"Good, Dad. Then I'll go first." With a feeling of excitement Rose stepped outside the room, while Ben seemed to lean his back on the chair.

Rose is a figure who is so greedy, obviously already has Roy, but still intends to look for another. Maybe this is the real purpose of the woman.

It seems that what Roy has is not enough to satisfy his ambitions, so he is still eyeing a Reymond.

"Had it been Rachel," Ben's inner self as he pinched the temple.

On the other hand, a man was dealing with a laptop in front of him looking so focused. At the age that is no longer young, charisma and abundant wealth are still inherent in him. Although others claim to be the perfect man because he enjoys his own wealth and is a workaholic, it doesn't matter. As long as everything goes well.

"Master," the assistant's voice entered the room pausing what Reymond was doing.

"What's wrong?"

"You got a dinner invitation from Mr. Ben."

"Yes, Sir."

Rey was silent for a moment while thinking. "Did Ben have a daughter?"

The assistant nodded. "He has two daughters. It's just that one of them is not struggling in the business field and some time ago was involved in a scandal. Although the news has disappeared from circulation, while the other one seems to be in the position of company manager."

Rey seemed uninterested in women doing business, only one of them did make her feel curious. "They're the ones who deleted the scandal?" ask Rey.

"It doesn't seem like it, sir."

"Isn't Rich's woman now from Ben's family?" Inner Rey. A sly grin appeared on Reymond's face. "It's kind of fun playing around with my niece. You just accept their invitation. Let's see what they want to do this time."

"Good, Sir."

Reymond didn't know Ben was so demeaning to Richard. Although the status of the nephew is only a paid man, Rey believes Rich has another purpose behind it all. Moreover, everything was very coincident in the time he was giving the punishment. Not to mention Richard could be said to have just broken his heart, it was impossible for Rich to accept someone in his heart so quickly if he had no other intention. Rey also has to investigate what Richard really wants to do this time.

Even in the afternoon, Rachel, who was not scheduled for filming, was suddenly startled by the sound of a doorbell ringing. “Who comes this afternoon? Usually Rich never rang the bell,” muttered Rachel stepped towards the door.

However, how surprised he was when he saw from the door peephole the figure of a middle-aged man standing there. With doubt Rachel opened the door. What did his father want this time after trying to harm Rich before.

With doubt Rachel opened the door. “What's up, Daddy's here?”

“This is how you welcome a parent who visits his own daughter?” said Ben annoyed. No hospitality at all came out of Rachel's lips, but since that night the two had only just met again.

“Please enter.”

Slowly the two began to enter the residence, seeming items scattered everywhere because Rachel was indeed a figure that was difficult to clean. Usually it was Richard who cleaned all that, but do not think everything is free, because Rachel again had to pay a price for every service offered by Rich.

Today, because the man has not returned so the apartment looks very messy.

“Please sit!” rachel said to her father as she picked up the clothes that were on the sofa. He did not offer his father a drink. Intentionally it was done so that Ben quickly left. I don't know why Rachel felt she would be taken back by her father this time.

Ben looked in all directions. The life Rachel lived this time was of course very different from before who was like the king's daughter. Despite how, she never even fouled her nails just to do the dishes and here, it seems like Rachel has a hard time adapting.

“How are you?” asked Ben to be friendly.

“As Daddy saw! I'm still alive and happy enough with my choice this time.”

Of course, along with Richard he was free to do whatever he wanted, without having to be banned again by Ben.

Ben was furious at this moment as well, but the man was trying to hold him back. It was not the right time for her to be angry at this moment because she had to take Rachel to a dinner party. He didn't want to miss the opportunity and give Rose the position. Seeing where Reymond seemed to have no objection and was as interested in his daughter.

Ben handed over the paper bag he was carrying and said softly.

“A long time ago we didn't have dinner together. Deliberately Daddy came here to pick you up.”

“But my future husband has not yet returned.” Rachel tried to avoid.

Unfortunately Ben is not an easy figure to argue. He stared intently at Rachel and said filled with emphasis. “Daddy just wanted to take you. Not him.”
