Betrayal At The Altar (Rachel and David) novel Chapter 669

Chapter 669 

Rachel turned around and sized up the tall and slender woman in front of her again.

“Miss Grey, my name is Chris Jones, and I will be your personal bodyguard starting today,” Chris said expressionlessly.

“I don’t need a bodyguard,” Rachel replied.

Her words were not meant for Chris, but rather to convey her thoughts to David.

David handed the fruit salad to Rachel. “Chris is a person of few words. She will not disturb you. She will only appear by your side when necessary. You won’t feel uncomfortable with her presence at other times.”

“You know that’s not what I meant,” Rachel said as she reached out and took the salad bowl.

She didn’t mind Chris’ presence affecting her. It was just that she was used to being on her own for all these years, and having someone around meant she would have to divert some of her attention.

She picked up a piece of strawberry and put it in her mouth, only to be caught off guard by its unexpected. sourness, causing her eyebrows to furrow.

Seeing this, David hurriedly pulled out a tissue, gesturing for her to spit the strawberry out.

Standing nearby, Chris witnessed the scene. She looked as if she had been struck by lightning and stared at David in disbelief.

She wondered, “What on earth happened to Mr. Jones during his time away from Aureliana?

“He is the head of the Jones family, the master of the secret chamber, and a person even the Elders would fear!

“Why would he be doing such menial tasks for a woman?”

“Why don’t you let her be your driver?” David suggested again.

Rachel looked at David, hesitated, and finally reluctantly agreed. “Fine.”

David had already gone this far. She would seem like an ingrate if she continued to refuse at this point.

However, the role of a driver did not sit well with Chris.

After all, she was the top candidate selected through multiple layers of screening and annual evaluations. Yet now, she was reduced to being a driver for Miss Grey, who never had to work in her life?

Wouldn’t the other trainees she had worked with laugh their heads off if they found out?

Moreover, the five members of their team-Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth-had always had clear roles, and all their tasks were done with the purpose of serving David.

Yet now, she had been summoned overnight just to be a driver for this woman!

“Don’t force yourself to stoop to that level if you don’t want to do it,” Rachel said.

She didn’t miss the fleeting emotions in Chris’ eyes.

Chris was momentarily stunned. She was just about to say she could find someone else to take the job – when she noticed David’s knife-like gaze aimed directly at her.

Her throat tightened, and she swallowed her words, saying respectfully, “It’s my honor to serve you, Miss Grey.”

Rachel didn’t respond, only giving Chris a faintly amused look.

Before long, David waved his hand, and Chris got the hint and walked away.

After she stepped out of the foyer, Chris leaned against the wall, crossed her arms, and looked gloomily at Billy, who was approaching from a distance.

“You just got back. What’s with the bitter and resentful look on your face?” Billy asked.

Chris frowned. “The boss abandoned me in the south for years, but now I’m summoned overnight just to be a driver for that wontan in there! Has he been bewitched by that enchantress?”
