Chapter 667 Are They Friends?

• Rachel didn’t know how she had gotten through these days. Since Jordy had arrived, he had not paid any attention to her but kept staring at Gloria. And when he saw her talking and laughing with other men, he was upset! Seeing this, Rachel did not want to deceive herself anymore! Jordy must have feelings for Gloria! Seeing him about to go to talk to her, Rachel didn’t want to give them any chance to flirt with each other at the banquet. So, she hurriedly strode toward Gloria with a glass of wine. She believed Jordy would stop his steps when seeing her go over. Even though she was looking at Gloria while walking, she kept peeping at Jordy out of the corner of her eye. Seeing him turning around to talk to a man who suddenly greeted him, Rachel felt relieved. Seeing several men surrounding Gloria, Rachel walked up to them with a smile and said, “You seem to be having a good chat.”
• When the men heard her voice, their instantly eyes lit up. It was Rachel! After they had arrived, they had wanted to curry favor with her. But she was so busy today that they could not get a chance at all So, they were frustrated and had never expected her to take the initiative to talk with them. But soon, they realized she had come over for Gloria. One fat man suddenly smiled, “Miss Roberts, long time no see! You still look so beautiful! While speaking, he moved his wine glass forward. Rachel clinked glasses with him and said, “Thank you.” Not to be outdone, the other people also intended to drink with her. But she refused with a smile, “Sorry, I am a light drinker. Today is my grandpa’s birthday, so I can’t get drunk. I appreciate your good intentions.” Those who could not drink with her felt unhappy, but they could only smile instead of complaining. Then, Rachel grinned, looked at Gloria, and said, “Gloria, can I have a word with you?” Gloria was speechless.
• The people around were surprised to hear Rachel intimately calling her Gloria instead of Ms. White, wondering whether they had a good relationship. But it was strange. Gloria was Jordy’s ex-wife, while Rachel had liked Jordy for many years. So, they should be rivals in love. Therefore, it was unbelievable that they were on such intimate terms. Gloria didn’t want to continue talking with these men, so she nodded at Rachel. She would rather go with her than talk with them courteously but without sincerity. After all, Rachel must be quieter. Soon, they walked to the sofa not far away. They were both holding an empty glass, but neither of them wanted more wine. After they sat opposite each other, Gloria asked, “It’s your grandpa’s birthday party. Don’t you need to greet the guests?” Rachel said with a confident smile on her lips, “You are also a guest.” Their relationship was not good, and they were rivals in the business circle. But now, they were talking and laughing like old friends. If Nydia were here, she would admire them. Hearing her reply, Gloria raised her eyebrows but didn’t say anything. After she put the wine glass on the table, Rachel followed suit.
