Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 37

After a while, Mr. Johnson called her through the internal line. Rachel stared at Monica, who was quiet on the sofa, moved over, and squatted down. She asked softly, “I’m going. Do you want to stay here or go out with me?”

Monica blinked, crawled off the sofa, and tugged at her shirt.

Rachel chortled and stroked her head. “Okay, let’s go.”

Holding her small hand, Rachel went to the CEO’s office. Mr. Johnson looked at her curiously, “What’s this?”

“Sorry. Mr. Johnson, she’s a child of my friend…” Rachel explained it again.

Mr. Johnson nodded and let her sit down. “The branch of Dragon Age has basically set up. It’ll put into operation soon. Besides, the representatives will come to visit in a while. You’re the host.”

Rachel was taken aback. So soon?

She paused for a moment and then asked indifferently, “Do you know who they are?”

Shouldn’t the CEO come to visit in person for a branch?

Mr. Johnson chuckled. “Probably they’re some department managers. That’s why I let you go. If it’s a big figure, I’ll greet him personally. It’s not a big deal. Just invite them for lunch.”

Lunch?

So it was a social meal. It would be fine if there were a few people. If not, she must drink. However, a child was with her.

“Mr. Johnson… You know…” Rachel looked at Monica awkwardly and suggested, “Or… May I let other staff host a meal?”

Mr. Johnson looked at her and then the quiet girl. He thought for a while and nodded. “Okay. Treat them well. Don’t slight them.”

“Yes.” Rachel exhaled slightly. Then she asked, smiling, “When will they come?”

Mr. Johnson turned around to look outside and replied calmly, “They may be on the way. It won’t take long. They’re just on the opposite side.”

“…”

Rachel stiffened, confused. She thought she must have misheard and stared at Mr. Johnson blankly. “You, you mean they’re… where? On the opposite side?”

She slowly turned around to look at the opposite building, her heart thumping.

Their branch was right opposite to her?

Mr. Johnson didn’t sense her weird behavior. Moreover, he stepped toward the window with a smile and pointed at the same floor in the opposite building. “What a coincidence! Their branch is on the same floor as us, right opposite to us. Probably we can see them from here. Unfortunately, I’m nearsighted.”

Rachel caught his gaze with a complicated look. Her smile didn’t touch her eyes.

Did Kenneth do it, intentionally or unintentionally?

Last night, he called because of it?

“Anyway, serve them well.” Mr. Johnson waved her away.

“Copy that.” Rachel recovered her calmness and took Monica away.

Back to the office, Rachel stood in front of the window and stared at the opposite building, absent-minded.

Suddenly, the curtains of the building facing her office were rolled up slowly. A slender silhouette was completely exposed to her, like an actor on the stage, which seemed unreal.

Regaining her consciousness, Rachel blinked heavily and bit her lips subconsciously, after making sure that he wasn’t an illusion.

It was certain that the man did it deliberately now.

Kenneth stood still in the distance, putting his hands into his pockets in an elegant and domineering way. His expression was a bit unreadable. But she was sure that he was regarding her, as if he had already known where her office was.

The more Rachel thought, the more panicked she was. Picking up the phone, she called him without hesitation.

It rang for a few seconds. She could see clearly from afar that the man took out the phone from his pocket and placed it to his ear, still facing her direction.
