Chapter 378:
“Even if we don’t have customers now, we will have them in the future.” Alice looked away and started twirling the pen in her hands. Noah couldn’t help but stare at her fingers.
Her hands were delicate and clear. She had long, slender fingers. He knew some women painted their nails different colors. But Alice didn’t. Her nails were short and neat, which gave her a pretty look.
“The reason for today’s meeting is that I want you to read these papers and see who finally stays in this company,” Alice said and put the pen aside.
“Anyway, no matter why you decide to come here, I’m glad to see you in this meeting room. Thank you.”
“Well, let’s get started already.”

“Does that woman know her situation? This company has just been created and she has asked us for a meeting. Is she capable of being a leader? Seeing her performance these days, I think the company will go bankrupt soon. If not…”
Those who did not come to the meeting room stayed together in the office. Rachel gave Winnie a doubtful look and then spoke quietly to them.
Hearing what Rachel said, Winnie scoffed and replied impatiently, “Rachel, I didn’t go to the meeting because my tummy hurts. It’s none of your business. Sean follows me everywhere, do you want to treat me the same way you treat him?”. Winnie looked pale, sweat oozing down her forehead. She felt very uncomfortable.
At that moment, Sean instantly handed Winnie a glass of water. He said, “Winnie, drink some water first.”
When she saw the glass, she suddenly threw it straight away.
“Are you crazy? Now my tummy hurts, how could water cure me?”
The water immediately soaked the keyboard next to her. Rachel’s face changed slightly.
She thought Winnie was emotional and had a bad temper.
Sean was startled by her actions, but he wiped the water off the keyboard and the table with tissues. He said carefully, “Don’t be angry, Winnie. I’ll clean up the water. Be careful. Don’t get your sleeves wet.”
Seeing that the water was about to spread to her sleeve, Sean intended to wipe the water next to her hand. But Winnie felt annoyed when Sean approached her.
He waved his hand impatiently at her.
“Can you get out of here? It’s annoying to see you.”
Winnie’s fingernails were decorated with tiny diamonds. At that moment, the diamonds bruised Sean’s face. There was a small cut on his face. Rachel instantly stood up when she saw it.
She said, “Sean, your face is bruised.” Then she turned to look at Winnie in disbelief and said, “Are you crazy? Sean was just trying to help you, why did you hurt him?”.
Winnie’s belly ached. Hearing what Rachel said, she looked up and said, “It’s none of your business. Sean did it from the heart. I asked him to stay away from me. But he didn’t follow my words. Otherwise, his face wouldn’t be bruised. By the way, are you in love with him?”.
Rachel felt embarrassed and blushed. She clicked her teeth and said, “Winnie, you’re being unreasonable.”
“Unreasonable? I just want to rest because my tummy hurts. You said you’d take care of me. You used me as an excuse when you didn’t want to go to the meeting room. Don’t treat me like a fool.”
Winnie was disgusted with his action. She endured the pain and stood up, then started to walk out of the office.
She was stumbling around. Sean felt concerned for her and pretended to hold her back. He said to her,
“Winnie, how are you feeling now? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”
“Stay away. I don’t want to see you,” Winnie scolded him. She didn’t want to talk to him.
Rachel stood still. She clenched her fists in anger and shouted, “Sean, since she doesn’t want to talk to you, you shouldn’t bother her. Why are you being so brazen?”
Her words seemed to provoke Sean. He stopped and gave Rachel a look. Then he said, “I’m just doing what I want. It’s none of your business. Besides, I’m chasing Winnie. I know her character.”
At that moment, Winnie couldn’t take the pain and fell to the ground.
“Winnie!”
Sean’s expression changed. He rushed to life her in his arms. Then he hurried out of the office.
“Where are you going?”
Sean didn’t answer her and walked out of the office with Winnie. Rachel was left alone in the office. After thinking for a while, she also left.
…
In the conference room.
“Now you have read all the papers – do you have any suggestions?”
Alice looked at those present very casually and asked in a cold voice.
Suddenly, the door to the meeting room was pushed open. Rachel entered the room and said with a sad expression, “Guys…”
The meeting was interrupted by her. Alice frowned at the sight of Rachel. Then Yanis immediately stood up and asked, “Didn’t you tell your classmates that you wouldn’t come to the meeting, why are you coming now?”
“It’s Winnie. She…”
“Go away.”
Alice interrupted Rachel’s words. She looked serious. Yanis turned around to find Alice staring coldly at Rachel.
Rachel was taken aback and asked, “What do you mean?”
“We have a meeting now. No one can disturb us before we finish it.”
Then Rachel knew what Alice meant. She meant that Rachel was an intruder and that she was kicking her out.
Rachel’s face darkened and she said angrily, “I didn’t mean to. I just need to fill you in on something.”
“You can do that after the meeting.”
“Do you have a conscience? I said I had something urgent to tell you. ”
Alice snorted and said, “Yanis, please send her out of the room.”
Yanis nodded and turned to Rachel. He said, “You didn’t come to the meeting after I briefed you. Now you can’t stay here. Get out.”
Rachel bit her lip and refused to leave.
“If you don’t leave here, I will force you to leave.” As Yanis said, she clenched her fists.
Yanis was a strong woman. She was not only Alice’s assistant, but also her bodyguard. Yanis was tough and fierce when she fought.
Rachel found that Yanis meant what she said. She finally turned and walked out of the meeting room in a huff.
The door to the meeting room was closed.
Chloe was shocked to see the scene. She said, “Is he okay? It looks like you have something to tell us.”
Ada smiled in her seat and said, “It will be fine. Yanis is right. Rachel didn’t come here after she was informed. Now she can’t stay here at will.”
Noah also smiled and said, “Good. She has her own principles.”
Then he added, “I like her.”
Chloe gave him a sullen look and said, “Shame on you!”
