Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 2

Rachel only stood to her feet after a long while. She washed the dishes, put them back into the disinfection chamber calmly and changed her clothes. She went out of the house to the garage to reach her car and drove half an hour to the company.

The workers greeted her when they saw her. “Good morning, Manager Lewis.”

“Morning.” Rachel smiled and nodded. She took her coat off after entering her office and asked her assistant, “Is Mr. Johnson here?”

“Yes, he’s in the office.”

Rachel went to the president office and entered after knocking the door.

“Oh, it’s Rachel.” Johnson Lopez quickly laid down the documents on his hands when he saw her coming in. He invited her to the reception area and even started to make tea.

“What brings you here?”

“It’s regarding the money.” Rachel went straight to the point and continued with a slightly pleading voice, “Mr. Lopez, I’ve worked in this company for three years and you know my personality. Therefore I hope you could lend me two million yuan.”

Johnson startled and replied helplessly, “Rachel, it’s not up to me to decide. And even I do agree to lend you this huge amount of money, the other directors would not concede.”

“I know. So can I borrow from you personally?” Rachel asked. “Don’t worry, I’ll return the money to you within six months, I could even pay you five percent of interest!”

“Rachel, I have no choice, my money’s kept by my wife and you know her. I won’t be able to go home if she knows I’ve lent money to you.”

As if having remembered something, Johnson asked, “Eh, isn’t your husband into investment? Two million yuan should be small problem for him, why didn’t you ask him?”

“It’s only a small investment; he didn’t make much from it.” Rachel felt sour when she said it.

After three years of marriage, she only knew Kenneth was an investor but she had no idea where his company was located or how much he earned every month. After all, his money was kept to himself due to the contract.
