Chapter 1135 No Way To Go (2/2)

She lay forward on the steering wheel, put her cold fingers on her forehead and started to cry. The car shuddered with her suppressed crying, and her agony filled the small space.

Now that she was alone, she was just a woman.

All the toughness she had bravely shown to Ray just now had been her only way to protect her last shreds of dignity.

Now that she was finally alone, she was able to give in to her true self and express her real feelings. Her fragile self-esteem had been shredded to pieces. She cried hopelessly, like a homeless and beaten-up child.

A while later, Michelle's crying faded away. Rubbing at her burning nose, she sniffed. Then, she restarted the car with a turn of the key in the ignition.

Unnoticed, a black Bentley had been following not far behind her.

Michelle tried to conceal her pale face with cosmetics.

Slowly, she rose and dressed herself up in the way that Jacob liked best. Although she hadn't eaten for three days, she didn't feel hungry at all. She immediately walked downstairs step by step and left the house.

Even it was just one stolen look!

She needed to see him in person in order to make sure that she had only him in her heart. She had to be sure she meant something to him.

She had to find Jacob!

Moments after she had walked out, Ray, who was at his company, received the news. He clenched his fist and closed his lips to form a thin line. He seemed to be caught in a deep conflict.

There were only a few words in the message on his phone screen.

”Miss Michelle went to the HT Group.”

Ray knew that he shouldn't have such intense feelings towards Michelle. Every time they met, they would fight and argue with each other. He didn't know why he felt so intensely frustrated when he read the message.

He forcefully set the phone down with a thump on the table, leaving it face down. After a heavy sigh, he forced himself to sit in the chair behind his desk. Casually grabbing a script from the pile of movie offers, he forced himself to read it.

However, he was the only one who knew if he was even able to keep a single word of the script in his head, given his distraction.

When Michelle had just parked the car in front of the HT Group, she rushed across the parking lot and hurried into the building.
