Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 15

Rachel was stunned.

Osmond told her, when he was out on a business trip, Monica witnessed her mother bringing other men home. It was very traumatizing for her and she stopped talking. This was the reason why he insisted to get Monica’s custody.

After knowing the whole story, Rachel felt sorry for Monica.

After that day, Rachel had some time to spare each day. So, after talking to Osmond she took Monica to her company with her. She taught her how to read and write every day for some time, then send her back to Osmond.

Monica was a little timid at first, but after being praised so much by Rachel, she slowly became bold. She would smile at her; her writing was beautiful. One day she wrote the word “Daddy”, when Osmond saw it, he was so moved that he couldn’t speak.

One day, after bringing Monica to the company, Rachel was reminded that she had the meeting with Dragon Age today in J City.

However, when she called Osmond, she found that he had already left for the airport for a business trip abroad and Rachel didn’t know when he’d come back. She didn’t want to leave Monica with her colleagues, so she took her on the business trip.

It was an hour and a half long flight from N City to J City.

Dragon Age had sent someone to pick up Rachel and she was driven directly to the company.

"Miss Lewis, our general manager Mr. Shawn's plane is late, and we are not sure when he will be able to arrive. If he can't come in the afternoon, we might have to inconvenience you to stay in the hotel for one night. We apologize for this."

"It's okay." Rachel smiled.

As a giant in the investment industry, the office building is of course located in the center of J City. The surrounding buildings seem to live in the shadow of P & H Building, looking dull and gray in comparison.

The person, who was with Rachel, got a phone call for something urgent, and had to leave after entrusting Rachel with the receptionist.

Rachel and Monica followed the receptionist into the elevator.
