Ogden received and opened it. Then, he gave it to her and said smilingly, “One of my friends gave this gift to my sister but she always throws this kind of things everywhere. She will not wear it and it is a waste. So, I want to offer it to Ms. Lewis, I think you will need it when you work.”
There was a luxurious woman watch in the box. It was classic silver in colour and adopted the business style. Tiny diamonds could be seen around the watch. She did not have to look at the LOGO and straight away knew that it must be extremely expensive.
Rachel was shocked but she maintained a calm expression. She rejected the gift politely without hesitation, “Mr. Reed, I cannot receive such an expensive gift. In addition, you can give it to Mr. Lopez, others will misunderstand our relationship if I receive your gift.”
Kenneth took a glance at the watch. He did not change his expression and did not speak.
“Is it expensive?” Ogden frowned with confusion, he laughed and explained, “Don’t overthink, I just feel a bit guilty to trouble you when you have not yet recovered from your injury. It is just my token of appreciation in return, it is not expensive. I have delivered the flower to your office before, it is so sudden for you, I have not apologized to you.”
Flower?
Kenneth narrowed his eyes subconsciously, he glanced at Rachel with his black eyes. Then, he looked at Mr. Reed, he laughed suddenly and said carelessly, “Mr. Reed, whoever is smart can observe that the watch can cost up to a few hundred thousand. What will Mr. Lopez think? Flower some more, those who know about it are fine but for those who are not clear about it, they will suspect that you’re going to keep her as your mistress.”
Rachel was flushed, she felt embarrassed instantly.
But she was not shy, she was upset by him. She did not know whether he said it purposely, must he say it in the most embarrassing way?
How could he talk about keeping a mistress? Did he forget that he had asked her to resign yesterday? Was it considered as keeping her as his mistress as well?
She could not control herself and raised her head to stare at him.
But he did not bother her at all.
