Rachel looked coldly at him, “Do you detest Sabrina?”
He frowned and answered truthfully, “No feelings.”
He didn’t understand why she mentioned that woman. Furthermore, as she mentioned, it made him think of what happened after they drank that night. His gaze turned cold.
Rachel didn’t notice the change in his expression and choked. Her mind started to think wildly. No feelings? What kind of answer is that?
“Don’t tell me that you don’t know that she likes you.”
“Now I know.” Kenneth’s expression didn’t change and he was emotionless as if they were talking about something insignificant.
“…” Rachel choked again and didn’t know what to say next.
Did he mean that he didn’t know it in the past? Then how did he know now? Did he just realize or had Sabrina done something?
When he saw that she was silent, he moved closer to her and said, “I’ve already transferred her out of the headquarters. She is no longer my special assistant.”
“…” Rachel blinked and was stunned.
Kenneth gently frowned, held onto her hand, and said softly, “Rach.”
Although she couldn’t sense any tenderness or emotion, it felt much different than before. She longed for it and cherished it.
After pondering deeply during this period, he had to admit to what Geoffrey said. Although he couldn’t be sure if he loved her, he knew that couldn’t bear to let her go. Perhaps with three years of marriage, he had already been used to her presence and her breath on the bed. He would long for it each time he drew closer to her.
He never got overly entangled with matters concerning the romance apart from him feeling disgusted when he was being forced to marry her. After that, he didn’t mind her presence. If it wasn’t for her requesting to divorce so suddenly, he might have forgotten about the agreed marriage period of four years and continued being married to her. Now that they had a child together, these feelings were even deeper.
Rachel’s eyes flashed and she panicked. She brushed off his hand and inexplicably stammered, “What, what you do to her is none of my business. Leave, I want to go home!”
She was afraid that he’ll catch up to her and quickly flagged down a taxi, opened the door, and quickly got in.
As the taxi drove, she patted her chest and heaved a sigh of relief. She felt unsettled and perturbed as she looked at the man getting further away from her.
Rachel was still in a daze even when she reached her apartment. She had a quick shower and laid on the bed. She was pondering about Kenneth’s ambiguous words which caused her to lose sleep. She tossed and turned until daybreak before she fell asleep.
In the morning, she quickly ate breakfast and went to the office with her tired eyes.
“Rachel, did you go with smoky eyes makeup today?” Miles looked at her and smiled.
Smoke your ass! Rachel sneered at him, “Really? Do I look beautiful?”
Miles’s smile froze and immediately flattered, “Yes, beautiful, shall I get a cup of coffee for you?”
