Rachel’s pretty face looked awkward. She didn’t know whether to be happy or to be angry. Was he so straightforward when sending flowers?
She sneered, “You know how to do such things? Did you ask for advice from your friend? You sent me flowers in front of the entire company? Do you want the whole company to gossip about me tomorrow?”
Before when Ogden did that, she had felt a little disgusted, but considering of his sentiments she hadn’t been able to say anything.
“He said that all women liked such grand romantic gestures.”
Rachel was left speechless as she choked. She gritted her teeth, thinking bitterly, ‘He actually ran to ask that Geoffrey?’
“Then give it to those women, don’t come harass me at my company. I still need to work.”
Hanging up the call, she pursed her lips angrily.
Within a few seconds, he called again. Rachel didn’t answer it this time. She just looked at the screen and rejected the call.
He didn’t call after that.
When she was about to get off work that night, Miles knocked on her door. He came in and handed her a slip.
Rachel glanced at him, lowered her head to sign it and pretended to ask him casually, “Where do you live now?”
Last time, she had only dropped him at the intersection without asking him where he lived.
Originally, she had no right to interfere with such private matters as his boss. However, since he took the initiative to tell her and treated her like a friend, she couldn’t just not care and asked.
Miles smiled as always, “Why? Do you want to drop me off?”
Rachel raised her eyebrows and nodded seriously, “Yeah. Wait for me to finish up.”
Miles was startled, but he regained his smile quickly, “I was just kidding. Don’t! I still have somewhere else to go. It is not on your way. You can go back first.”
“It’s so late, where are you going?” Rachel couldn’t help but blurt out, but then she quickly realized that his expressions looked a bit unnatural.
Not realizing that she noticed something, he laughed suddenly. He looked very happy and his handsome face was full of vitality, “Rachel, do you think I am going to do something stupid?”
Rachel’s expressions were stiff. She raised her hand with a guilty conscience and swept the hair away from her forehead, smiling dryly, “Uh… no, I was just asking. If you are going the other way then leave it. Go back early and don’t stay outside too late.
He looked at her with a deep look in his eyes and smiled faintly as he nodded, “Okay.”
……
When Rachel went out, Miles had already left. She left the company somewhat worried and ran into Osmond. She didn’t know when had he come over.
Her expressions changed slightly. Then she walked over with a smile, “Osmond, why are you here?”
They hadn’t seen each other for some time but they had been in contact continuously. It was just that every time he wanted to see her, she declined tactfully. It was just that because she hadn’t figured out how to be clear with him that she couldn’t dare to face him.
“I came to see you.” Osmond smiled warmly as always, as if he was able to calm all emotions.
Just as Rachel was about to respond, a person appeared suddenly from behind, looking at Osmond curiously and whispered, “Rachel, is he the one who sent the flowers at noon?”
Although, the voice was lowered politely, the person was still only a step away from Osmond and he could hear everything.
Osmond glanced at her but his expressions didn’t change at all.
Rachel was embarrassed. She hurriedly pulled the PR employee away and frowned as she explained, “No, it was sent by a client. This is Osmond Cox, my senior.”
