Chapter 289: In Such a Ridiculous Way?
In the taxi heading to the coffee shop, Rachel Sherman held the interview materials in her hand and thought about what the editor-in-chief had said to her before she left—
"Rachel, you must ask these last two questions! They are crucial for your future here!"
She glanced at the end of the materials, and they were about President Lancaster’s private love life!
Rachel was instantly troubled, "Editor-in-chief, this is a finance interview, isn’t it inappropriate to ask about his love life?"
The editor-in-chief sat in the office chair, but with a serious face, said, "What’s inappropriate about this?! Given your identity as the wife of President Lancaster’s friend, how is it a problem to talk a bit?"
"He’s not necessarily going to answer!"
"But you must ask!"
Rachel was speechless, feeling like she had received a hot potato again! She really didn’t know what to do.
"Go on, go on, don’t just stand there!" The editor-in-chief waved at her.
Sitting in the taxi, Rachel let out a heavy sigh.
To secure her job, she had to do this beautifully, but President Lancaster, such a sophisticated and distinguished man, was a rare sight even on ordinary days. How could she seize this opportunity to chat about his love life?
Rachel had just arrived at the coffee shop and stood at the entrance. Compared to anticipation, she actually felt more nervous and uneasy inside.
Taking a deep breath, she steadied her emotions before stepping in.
Since the place was reserved, the staff were absent, and the customers were cleared out, leaving only the owner, a young girl.
"Rachel." Seeing her, she was excited.
"Freya, President Lancaster hasn’t arrived yet, has he?" she asked with a smile.
"No, he hasn’t." The young female owner said, "After making coffee for President Lancaster, I’ll leave too. Don’t worry, it’s absolutely quiet here, and no one will disturb you. I’ll sit in the backyard reading a book."
"Alright, thank you."
President Lancaster’s visit could even adorn this small coffee shop; Freya couldn’t be more thrilled.
Rachel sat by the window, starting to set up and adjust the filming equipment.
After a while, she inadvertently glanced around and saw a Lamborghini pulling up outside. She couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous.
Adrian Lancaster, tall and handsome, got out of the driver’s seat, coolly shut the car door, and no one accompanied him.
Rachel saw him through the glass window, straightening his sharp suit.
He walked towards the entrance, and even from a distance, Rachel could still feel the aura and elegance in his every movement.
Adrian Lancaster noticed the sign on the coffee shop glass door—Closed for today.
He was still wondering, what’s going on with Grandpa?
Why choose this place? And reserve it?
As he opened the door and walked in, the moment the glass door closed, Faye Turner appeared from outside, quickly locking the door handle shut!
Adrian Lancaster instantly saw Rachel sitting not far away, along with the camera set up beside her, and hearing the sound outside the door behind him, he stopped and turned his head—
Seeing a very thick chain playing in Faye Turner’s hands!
Realizing something was wrong, he turned to open the door! Only to find it had been firmly locked by her and he couldn’t open it no matter how he turned it!
"Faye!" Adrian Lancaster was very angry, "What are you doing?!"
"I’ll let you out after you finish Rachel’s interview!!" Faye shouted at him loudly through the glass.
"You little brat! You’re scheming against me!"
"Sorry, Adrian! I had no choice! Please don’t argue with me!" Faye shouted at him loudly, "Since I tricked you here, I definitely won’t let you go until I achieve my goal! Sorry about this! I’ll make it up to you later!!"
After locking the door, Faye also turned and left! Too lazy to waste words with him!
No matter how hard Adrian Lancaster tried, he couldn’t open the door, and in someone else’s shop, he couldn’t possibly dismantle someone else’s property.
So, he bore it, but he was truly speechless!!
This left Rachel dumbfounded, was President Lancaster... forced to agree? In such a ridiculous way??
