Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 472

Chapter 472 You Think You’re Worthy?

There was a sudden commotion at the entrance when the woman at the reception counter was hesitating.

Hearing the sound, Whitney habitually turned to look in the direction, only to see a couple walking in. They happened to both be people she knew—the man was Douglas, and the woman was Emily Phoenix, the president of Aimee International.

The two looked intimate holding hands. Douglas had a gentle expression on his face as he lowered his head to tell Emily something that probably was funny, as Emily burst into laughter after listening to him.

However, now was not the time for Whitney to mourn. Ignoring the pain in her chest, she stomped in front of Douglas. She then raised her gaze to see the man that she hadn’t properly looked at in four years.

Douglas’ body looked a lot firmer than it was compared to four years ago, and his masculine face had gotten more refined.

“Mr. Lane, I am Whitney Campbell from the Campbell Corporation. I have something I need to talk to you about. Can you please give me 10 minutes of your time to hear what I have to say?” Whitney had blurted out her words as she held her gaze with her chin high.

The man only threw her an indifferent glance. He didn’t have much of an expression on his face, and his voice was cold when he rejected, “I can’t make time now. I am with my wife.”

Wife…

For some reason, that word seemed to drive a knife right through Whitney’s heart. Even her face had turned pale.

She knew that Douglas would definitely marry and have children in the future, but when reality was presented right in front of her, she realized that her heart ached so badly it was trembling.

“President Douglas, I only need a bit of your time. I beg of you—”

Her words were abruptly cut off by him.

“Miss, surely you don’t have a hearing problem? I said I have something to do now.”

His words felt heavy and chilly.

After he finished speaking, he took Emily with him as they walked past Whitney. He didn’t even spare her a look.

On the other hand, Whitney had a dejected look on her face after she was rejected. But what else was she supposed to do when Douglas wouldn’t see her and wouldn’t even give her the chance to speak to him?

Dispirited, she sat on the stone at the door of F&R Enterprise. Her head was slightly raised as she looked up. The blinding sun made it hard for her to open her eyes and when she did, she could feel the tears rolling down her cheeks.

She continued to sit there for a long time until Douglas came out.

This time, he didn’t have anyone beside him. Seeing this, she dashed toward him and held onto him.

“Douglas, can you give me a chance by sparing the Campbells?”

He sneered when she went straight to the point. He then unhesitantly tore the hands holding onto his body as his dark eyes turned frigid and icy.

His thin lips parted after a while, and he cruelly spat from his gorgeous mouth. “Whitney Campbell, you think you are worthy?”
