NovelEnglishChapter 618: A dull ache settled in Brian's chest as he glanced at the dress again. "Rachel, if you'd like, I can have one custom-made just for you. Didn't you once say you wanted a dress that sparkles like the stars? I can—" "Brian!" Rachel met his gaze, shaking her head gently. "Thank you, but that's not necessary. The dresses here are timeless and elegant, beautifully simple. I really like them." Her expression remained calm as she looked away. "People's preferences change. What I once loved, I no longer do. The one I chose is lovely. I really like it.” A heavy weight pressed against Brian's chest. After a long silence, he finally said, "Alright. Whatever makes you happy." Rachel smiled, her tone light. "Do you want to pick a suit?" "Sure, you can choose one for me." Since she had chosen a ready-made wedding dress, she figured she might as well pick an off-the-rack suit for him too.
"I'm not sure if you'll like my choice. Maybe you should pick one yourself." "I'll wear whatever you choose." "Alright then." The suit was chosen just as swiftly. It was a deep red suit-something Brian rarely wore, but he didn't hesitate. "This one. It's perfect." Fakes are everywhere -☐☐☐☐☐☐lnov☐☐☐☐ "Are you sure about this one?" Rachel asked, surprised by his quick decision.
"Yes. Anything my wife picks is the best." Turning to the shop assistant, he instructed, "Please have it delivered to my house along with the wedding dress." "Of course, Mr. White." As they stepped out of the store, having finalized their choices, they unexpectedly ran into Ronald. The moment Ronald saw Brian, he rushed over, his face filled with concern.
Noticing the urgency in the air, Rachel tactfully suggested, "You two go ahead and discuss. I'll just look around on my own." But before she could step away, Brian stopped her. "No need to leave. Stay with me." Then, turning to Ronald, he asked, "What happened?"
Even in his rush, Ronald explained the situation clearly. Rachel gathered that there were seriouscomplication's with Brian's overseas business, making things difficult. The board wanted Brian to personally step in for a while to stabilize the company's stock value.
Brian, however, was just as direct. "Let them know I don't pour money into the company just to babysit incompetents. If they can't manage this, they can consider themselves unemployed. I'll hold a video conference with the executives in an hour to straighten things out. Go get it ready."
He made his position crystal clear. "Tell the board my grandma is gravely ill, and my wedding is around the corner won't leave my family at a tlike this. If anyone has an issue with that, they can take it up withdirectly." His tone was firm, leaving no room for negotiation. Having received Brian's instructions, Ronald knew what needed to be done. "Understood. I'll return to the office and make arrangements for the conference."
