My Mute Bride

My Mute Bride Chapter 220

Rachel drove to the nightclub alone after work. As soon as she entered the private room, she saw the men inside with the nightclub’s hostesses in each of their arms. Mr. Wayne beckoned to her enthusiastically as he said, “Come over here, Chris. Let me introduce her to you guys. This is Chris, Burton Pharmaceuticals’ sales director. She’s a knockout, isn’t she?”

“Burton Pharmaceuticals’ sales director? Aren’t you President Burton’s ex-wife?”

“You were on the news some time ago.”

The atmosphere in the private room livened up at once. These men were in the same circle, so they knew almost everything about the Burton Family.

Rachel forced a smile at everyone.

Mr. Wayne waved his hand. “Why are we talking about this? Friendly relations should exist between buyer and

seller even if they fail to clinch a deal. Despite their marriage ending with divorce, they still have to run the business. Just look at how magnanimous Chris is-isn’t she still working at Burton Pharmaceuticals? It’s just that she’s put to a little inconvenience by having to work under her ex-husband.”

“Wow, your heart is aching, Mr. Wayne! What are you waiting for, Chris? Have a drink with him!”

Rachel frowned as a glass of wine was shoved into her hand. “I drove here, so I can’t drink alcohol.”

“What’s the problem with that? You can just hire a chauffeur to drive your car. There are plenty of them everywhere.”

“Sorry, but I don’t drink.”

The room instantly went silent. Mr. Wayne put down his wine glass and leaned back against the leather sofa. He then asked, “It’s not like I have to collaborate with Burton Pharmaceuticals. There are so many people here; it doesn’t make a difference for me to sign the contract with any of them. Sincerity is best expressed by one’s willingness to drink, don’t you think so?”
