Chapter 431
“Come in, the door Isn’t locked.”
Isaac collected the documents and stood aside. Rachael walked Into the office and placed the food on the table with a smile. “The cook said that I’ve improved a lot. It should taste… alright.”
Isaac stood there silently. Matthew nodded and opened up the container then was surprised,
It was Seared Salmon, Hesper’s favorite food.
“… What’s wrong?” Rachael leaned in. “The fish is still in one piece. I brought it over right after I made it. Do you not like fish? Now that I think about it, I don’t know what you like. Can you tell me the next time we dine together?”
“No.” Matthew looked at her trying to impress him and sighed. After a long pause, he said,” Nothing’s wrong, I love fish. You don’t have to try and impress me. We’re siblings… We’ll need to live together.”
Rachael smiled after she heard him say that. “That’s great. I thought I did something wrong. When the cook told me that Hessy is a really good cook, I was thinking that doing this would make me look like a copycat.”
“Alright,” Matthew cut her off. “Don’t overthink. Hesper is my sister and so are you. Everyone has their own talent, so there’s no need to compare yourself to her.”
“Sure!” After handing the cutleries to Matthew, Rachael looked happier. “I heard that the Duvals gave Hessy an agreement. Can I know who’s running the project?…I’m just curious.”
Isaac heard and said, “That belongs to Ms. Rivera and not the Duvals. We don’t have the right to do anything about it or take it out.”
“That’s unfortunate; the Duvals are our competitor. If we don’t take it, wouldn’t it go to them?” Rachael held onto Matthew’s arm. “I don’t think she would mind. Didn’t she hate Rickard Duval when she was around? I’m sure she’ll be happy if we manage to snatch a project from him.”
“Matt…”
“Ms. Lane, please don’t put Mr. Lane on the spot. We won’t be taking what belonged to Ms. Rivera
out.”
Isaac’s voice sounded cold. Rachael didn’t expect him to speak that way so she paused, then bit her lip because she felt like she was wronged.
