You Think I Care About Your Cousin?
Gloria looked up slowly and saw the woman in a white gown
with her long brown curly hair tumbling in a cascade
down her back. Dignified and elegant, she was looking condescendingly at Gloria with her head slightly
down.
The woman was polite enough to extend her hand to Gloria, signaling her to continue the phone call
and talk afterwards.
Gloria stopped talking with Nydia on the phone. “Honey, I‘m at the party now. I‘ll talk to you when I get b
ack.”
Nydia was a little surprised but did not ask more questions. “That‘s fine. Call me when you‘re done.”
After hanging up, Gloria looked at the noble lady in front of her and said, “Miss Roberts?”
Rachel Roberts was the favorite daughter of Mr. Roberts, who owned the largest company in San
Diego.
Rachel wasn‘t surprised that Gloria knew her. She smiled at Gloria, sat across from her, and said in a r
elaxed voice, “Didn‘t expect to see you at this party, Miss White.”
And in this way.
Gloria‘s eyes were suddenly intent. “Miss Roberts, what do you want to see me about?”
Rachel‘s lips curled upward in a small smile. There were only the two of them here, so
she was perfectly comfortable speaking to Gloria.
“Mr. Collins and you are divorced.”
Gloria‘s eyes flashed at Rachel‘s smile on her lips, but she couldn‘t tell anything from it. She then said i
mperturbably, “It‘s not much of a secret.”
Rachel smiled, “I‘d like to know why you two
show up at such a big party together after divorce, if I may? It‘s like you were still married.”
Gloria gnashed her back teeth.
She wasn‘t angry with Rachel but with Jordy.
I came to this big party because of Jordy!
I don‘t want to be here!
Jordy, you bastard!
Gloria responded with a forced smile, “Thanks for reminding me, Miss Roberts. I‘ve got that.”
Gloria was not a fool. Of course, she could sense that Rachel was very hostile to her.
Far as she knew, the Roberts family and the Collins Group worked together on scores of projects, som
e of which were in the hands of Rachel and Jordy.
Mr. Roberts had no sons and valued Rachel the most. She would succeed him as president of the com
pany.
Rachel fell silent, gazing at Gloria‘s calm face thoughtfully. Gloria looked like she was not affected by h
er provocation. She smiled, “Miss White, you‘re not who you were two years ago.”
Two years ago, Rachel had been to Los Angeles and seen Jordy and Gloria at a party.
She could tell that Gloria felt very unimportant in front of Jordy.
But today Gloria had a very relaxed manner and laid–back attitude.
Gloria smiled at Rachel, who was sizing her up. “Two years is long. I‘ve experienced so much, and my m
Rachel raised her eyebrows and regarded her with laughing eyes. “I am a little impressed, but are
you sure you can win him back?”
Gloria looked at Rachel and couldn‘t help laughing softly. “You seem confident about being the next Mrs
Rachel did not say anything but smiled her acquiescence.
Gloria sneered, “I‘m not your rival. You might as well do some
research. Otherwise, you‘ll deal with the wrong person ,miss a great opportunity, and regret
it for life.”
Rachel froze and then chuckled, “You think I care about your cousin?”
Gloria‘s mouth twitched slightly. San Diego was new to Rachel. It
was normal that she had the wrong person.
Later, Rachel‘s voice rang out, retracting Gloria from her thoughts.
