Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 39

Rachel and Magi followed the representatives to the restaurant.

Social meals were a necessity for Rachel; thus she was basically familiar with the nearby restaurants. This one was not an exception.

Ordering a separate room, Rachel invited them to seat while hugging Monica and then passed them the menu.

“This restaurant isn’t bad. Order whatever you like.” She smiled politely.

“Oh, manager Yvonne, that’s very nice.” They chuckled.

Putting on a smile, Rachel complained inwardly. You’re the King. Can’t I be nice?

Mr. Johnson spent a lot of money to land the Dragon Age’s trust. Now they were in close proximity to each other. Weren’t there several meals every month?

Rachel decided to tell Mr. Johnson that she wouldn’t be in charge of the Dragon Age affairs later.

Besides a full table of dishes, they also ordered two bottles of high-end red wine.

Magi hurried to fill the glasses. When they were about to toast, someone’s phone rang.

“Excuse me. I need to answer it. You guys dig in.” He glanced at the contact name, smiled, and rushed out.

“Manager Yvonne, come, toast to you.” Another one raised the glass to her politely.

Rachel kept smiling. Taking up the glass, she clinked his glass gently. “Cheers! I hope we can work well together.”

Rachel took a sip. When the icy liquid ran through her throat, she shivered slightly and drank it all with a frown.

Magi didn’t notice it, pouring her another glass of wine again.

Rachel peeked at him, pursed her lips in silence, and then turned around to serve food for Monica.

Two minutes later, the person who went out for a call pushed the door open and talked suddenly, “Mr. Kenneth eats next door to us.”

Rachel’s eyelids thumped subconsciously.

That man was like a haunting ghost.

Hearing that their CEO was nearby, the representatives scooted up and shouted in surprise, “Next door? Did you see him?”

“Yeah, I saw him. Shall we go over?”

“Of course, we must go. Come on. Let’s greet him.”

Rachel cursed inwardly. She really wanted to reject it, since he wasn’t her boss. But it was obviously impossible. If Mr. Johnson was here, he must have rushed over eagerly. How could she stay here?

Reluctant though she was, Rachel still stood up with a fake smile. “Since Mr. Kenneth is here, I’d like to go with you.”

Thus, they scurried to the next room without eating too much.

When they entered the next room, Rachel felt ridiculous again.

There were only two men, but they occupied such a large room. Rich, huh?

The other man, who was at the same age as Kenneth, dressed casually and looked clean, neither an elite nor a normal employee.

“Mr. Kenneth.”

At the sight of their CEO, the representatives behaved like a son, greeting solicitously.

“Yes, why are you here?” Kenneth asked, as if he knew nothing, deadpan.

“We visited the Vantage Inc. in the morning and happened to eat here,” one explained. Then showing Rachel who was behind him, he introduced, “Mr. Kenneth, this is Manager Yvonne from the Vantage Inc.”

Rachel kept covering her existence, not expecting that she would be introduced. Face stiffening, she hugged the child tightly and nodded to him. “Mr. Kenneth.”
