Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 51

In the next half a month, Rachel hadn’t seen Kenneth or contacted him since that unpleasant quarrel.

However, every day when sitting in the office, she would subconsciously shoot a glance towards the opposite building from time to time. But the curtains were never withdrawn, so she guessed he must have come back to J City.

He had always been good at distinguishing personal affairs from business. As the thought popped into her mind, she mocked to herself and soon set it aside.

After working in front of the computer for a whole morning, Rachel decided to go to the fitness room in her company after the lunch and then walked briskly on a treadmill.

She had been too busy recently to remember that she was pregnant and that she should take good care of the baby in her belly. Anyway, it was the most important thing for her at present.

"Manager Lewis, what are you doing here?" A colleague, who came here to do exercises, felt curious when he saw her walking briskly on a treadmill.

Rachel smiled, “Can’t I take a walk after lunch?”

“Of course you can. But you’re the only one who walks on a treadmill. Rachel, I admire you.” He gave her a thumps-up and bantered.

Rachel ignored his joking, put the headphones in her ears again, and continued to walk.

Ten minutes later, the machine stopped slowly. She stopped and panted slightly holding the treadmill.

"Rachel, here you are!"

A young and lively voice sounded from behind.

Rachel stunned and turned around to see a handsome young man who looked quite optimistic. A smile blossomed on her face as she took off the earphones and took the glass of water, “Thanks.”

The young hunk was Miles Hughes, who joined her department half a month ago. He was three years younger than her and was self-motivated and lively. She had a good impression on him.

“How’s your work recently? Do you have any problems?”

Miles stepped onto the treadmill next to hers and began jogging. He grinned, baring his white teeth, “What can be difficult for me? The biggest problem may be that… I feel so boring.”

"..."

Rachel was speechless. She was too busy to rest recently while he said he was boring? Wasn’t him afraid of her, his supervisor, being annoyed?

Seeming to notice her disconsolation, Miles beamed, “I have finished my tasks high-efficiently recently. Rachel, if you can’t handle too much work, I can help you.”

Rachel raised her eyebrows and leaned against the treadmill to have a rest. She looked into his eyes and joked, “Why am I having the feeling that I will be replaced someday? Are you sure that you are not coming to take my position?”

“Oh I don’t dare to do that. I’m not as excellent as you are. So although I may be promoted to your position a year later, I guess you’ll still be my supervisor.” Miles grinned and somehow showed his ambition in his tone.

“A year?” Rachel’s lips twitched. “Hey kid, I’ve been working hard for three years to get this position.”

Miles laughed.

Rachel put down the glass, stepped off the treadmill, walked towards the other fitness equipment and stated, “Didn’t you say you have a lot of spare time? I have a social engagement this afternoon, but Magi has some other things to deal with. You go with me.”

Miles’ eyes lit up, “Are you asking me to drink alcohol for you?”

“…”

Rachel looked at him weirdly, “You seem to be so excited. Are you an alcoholic?”

Miles smiled, “I’ve always been chivalrous. Plus, my task is to drink alcohol for my supervisor. Rachel, please remember this when you fill in the statement of performance appraisal at the end of the year.”
