Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 44

“That’s, that’s okay, I’m done with my stuff, wait for me there for a while. I’ll be there soon.” Rachel hurriedly finished her sentence and hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

Kenneth was here, she dreaded the prospect that both of them were meeting again. When she thought of them seeing each other, the cringe and awkwardness almost suffocated her.

She walked at a brisk pace towards the President’s Office and knocked on the door before entering. The man was busy with his work and Geoffrey was there too.

Since there was one more person here, things didn’t seem as awkward as before. She looked at the man and said, “Mr. Kenneth, I have done visiting your company, and it was getting late now, I still need to report to Mr. Johnson after this. I have to go back now.”

The man shifted his gaze from the computer screen and looked at her, but he didn’t answer immediately.

Rachel bit her lips as she headed to the sofa. She removed the man’s jacket and put it aside and brought up Monica who was still sleeping soundly. She threw a glance at Geoffrey and bowed, “I’ll take my leave. Goodbye.”

After finishing her words, she turned around and was about to exit the office.

“Wait a minute.” The man’s voice suddenly sounded.

She froze on the spot, her heart dipped considerably. She turned around and glared at him and said, “Mr. Kenneth, I have shown you enough respect, what else do you still want? Do you have to make things difficult for both of us?”

Geoffrey looked at the both of them meaningfully while swirling the glass containing red wine in his hands. He was sitting elegantly on a chair by the window, looking relaxed.

Kenneth shut his computer and stood up. He emerged from his desk and said faintly, “Coincidentally I have some matter to discuss with Mr. Johnson, shall we go together?”

“…”

Rachel was instantly shrouded in silent anger, her eyes a maroon colour. If it was not because of the child in her embrace, she really wanted to give him a good kick there and then.

She didn’t realize that he was such a pesky and troublesome guy.

She took several deep breaths to calm down before gritting her teeth hard, “If you want to go, go on your own. Don’t follow me.”

She had no energy to argue further with him. After saying this, she turned around and left for good.

Kenneth pressed his lips into a line, picked up the jacket on the sofa before marching towards her to follow her.

As he was closing the door, Geoffrey’s faint and small voice sounded in the office.

“So cheap.”

Rachel entered the lift, and Kenneth appeared after that casually. It seemed like he didn’t plan to take the same lift as her.

When the lift ascended, Sabrina who was looking for him suddenly saw him here. Her expression changed slightly as she asked, “Kenneth, where are you going?”

“I have some matter to attend to.” The man did not want to explain further.

“Let me go with you.” She said as she came to his side, her pace a little messy.

The man noticed something unusual about her, so he knitted his brows and asked, “What happen to your leg?

Sabrina was delighted secretly as she interpreted this as him caring about her. She pressed her lips and said in a pitiful voice, “There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just that I have been walking around for so long when accompanying Miss Rachel, my soles are probably swollen.”

The creases in the man’s brows were even deeper now.

He had just suggested for her to look around the company, not for her to visit every corner of the company without missing out on any department. Was she really resentful towards him? She didn’t even take into consideration of her pregnancy in order to hide from him.

The more Kenneth thought about this the more frustrated he became. His handsome face showed a hint of tension, and his jawlines were tensed as well.
