Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 58

Kenneth’s eyes also changed when he saw her. He looked a little surprised to see her there. But then, he acted like he didn’t know her and went straight to greet the two men.

Mr. Johnson, conscious of his level being lower than that of Kenneth, stood up politely to greet him, "Mr. Shawn."

Ogden stayed comfortably in his place and said with a joking smile, "I was just saying you must be punished for being late and made to drink more alcohol. Haha! I didn’t know you’d come as soon as I mention you. Your desire to survive is good but you still must receive punishment."

Kenneth sat down opposite to Rachel and retorted with a casual smile, "I’m afraid I’d have to decline, Mr. Ogden. I came alone. I have to drive later. I'd just be drinking tea."

Ogden shook his head. "That's fine. It's rare to be able to sit together like this, just us. Who cares about alcohol? Ah! I heard that your branch office in N City is right across from Mr. Johnson’s head office. Such a big connection of fate must be toasted to."

"Sure, sure!" Mr. Johnson nodded with a smile and personally picked up the teapot to pour tea for Kenneth.

Rachel looked down absent-mindedly, her head drooping slightly. She didn’t know what to think or how to behave.

Ogden glanced at her and laughed, "What's wrong, Rachel? You joke around with me but as soon as Mr. Shawn came you lost all words. Are you scared? "

Rachel raised her head to look at him but accidentally ended up looking straight at Kenneth’s handsome face. She was flustered, her heart in an uproar; ignoring her heart she looked away and smiled stiffly, "I have never had a chance to sit with three people of your caliber. It's normal to be scared, right?"

As a small manager, she didn’t dare to think about it.

After knowing that Kenneth was the Dragon Age’s president, she had been curious. Apart from being a very good-looking man, he spoke quite less, and knowing if he was happy, angry or sad was always hard; how did he manage such a large company?

She really didn’t know much about him before.

Kenneth suddenly gave her a faint smile, "Right there with you, on that. If it wasn't for Mr. Johnson, I wouldn't get to know you, Miss Lewis."

“…”

Rachel’s expressions stiffened.

Did he imply that if it was not for Mr. Johnson, she would not be able to sit here at this level.

Is he here to humiliate her?

Forcing out a smile, Rachel’s responded tepidly, "I really should thank Mr. Johnson. If it wasn't for him, I might not have met you, Mr. Shawn."

Implying that if she had known he would be here, she would have never come here, even if it meant offending her boss.

Mr. Johnson, who had been mentioned quite much in a small amount of time, looked at them confusedly. He didn't know exactly how he got involved in this exchange of words; He could only smile awkwardly.

Looking at Rachel, Kenneth pursed his lips and did not speak again.

Ogden looked at them; his dark eyes seemed to understand something. He just said in a strange tone, "I have known Mr. Shawn for years. I heard that his hometown is in N City, so I asked him to be here today. It looks like Miss Lewis knows him too."

Rachel raised her eyebrows and chuckled, “I’ve only seen him once or twice."

She deliberately put stress on once or twice, thinking that she still had the right to be angry at him. Kenneth, however, sat there unmoving and expressionless. He simply said, "I don't remember."

Rachel was dumbfounded.
