Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 79

The plane landed in City J when the night closed in. Rachel, Miles and Magi took a taxi to the hotel, put down their luggage and went to the restaurant opposite to the hotel to have dinner together.

As they were all kept in the dark about Rachel’s pregnancy, Magi and Miles ordered various kinds of dished according to their own preferences.

Looking at the salty and spicy dishes in front of her, Rachel secretly swallowed salvia when seeing the meat and vegetables.

She had tried hard to distance herself from these kinds of food after learning about her pregnancy. It was not that she didn’t like them, but it was for the sake of the children. She had been strictly controlled her diet.

And the dishes on the table were definitely a torture for Rachel.

“Rachel, you don’t need to drive later. Would you like some alcohols?” Although Miles hadn’t been getting along with Rachel for too long, he acted much bolder than other employees in the department after picking up on her personality. He was not that reserved and dared to play jokes with her.

Rachel shook her head, “I have to prepare for the work for tomorrow later. You two can just enjoy it.”

After finishing the words, she picked up her chopsticks as she couldn’t help enjoying the food. Although she almost drooled, she remained quite a good table manner on the surface.

Magi said with a smile, “Then Rachel, do enjoy yourself to the full.”

Miles ordered a bottle of red wine and drank it with Magi.

Although Rachel’s movements were elegant, Miles still noticed her as she kept picking up the food nonstop.

“Rachel, do the dishes here meet your preference?”

As Rachel was concentrated on the dishes, she was startled by the sudden question. She then came to her own senses, put down the chopsticks, lowered her head to conceal her embarrassment and smiled awkwardly, “Maybe it’s because the journey was too long and I was hungry. But the food here really tastes good.

It was inappropriate to use the word ‘good’ to describe the dishes here. Their spicy and sour taste was really intriguing and she had been missing the flavor for a long time.

Miles curled his lips into a smile and swirled the turntable to turn the meat dishes in front of him to Rachel, “Do have more dishes. If they are not enough, we can order more.”

‘If they are not enough, we can order more?’

Rachel glanced around with a weird look after hearing the words and her smile immediately became stiff, “No need to order more. I’m almost full. You two should have more food. Otherwise, there would be so much leftover.”

She despised herself inwardly at the same time. How could she get dizzy in front of these dishes? When she was having meals with Miles back then, she only ate light dishes and said that she wanted to lose weight. Wasn’t it going against her words now? Miles was quite clever and if she continued to eat the food, he would definitely find out something.

Fearing that they would continue this topic, Rachel produced a napkin to wipe her mouth and stood to her feet, “You enjoy the food first. I have to go to the restroom.”

Nevertheless, she didn’t know that her subordinates were discussing her after her departure.

Magi smile and said nonchalantly while sending the food into his mouth, “Rachel must have had many food recently. I feel that she has gained so much weight in recent two months.”

Miles was rendered speechless.

She wanted to chime in and say ‘I share the same point of view with you’, but what he actually uttered was a question as he asked, “Is she very slim in the past?”

Knowing that Miles just joined the company recently, Magi took a sip of the red wine, raised his chin and said with pride and complacency, “Our Rachel is a famous beauty in our company. She had a good figure as well as a good look. What’s more, she is the most outstanding one in performance assessment and she also treats her subordinates quite well.”

He then pretended to be woeful and shook his head as he continued, “It’s really a pity that I joined the company quite late and she has married.”

Miles patted his shoulder and smirked, “Oh come on. You’re dreaming of being together with her? By the way, she’s only two or three years older than us and she married at a young age. Have you seen her husband?”
