Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 84

Rachel also declined their invitation to have lunch together and left with Miles and Magi after packing up her things.

She checked the time and then made an arrangement, “Let’s have lunch first. We’ll visit another company in the afternoon.

Magi nodded.

Miles furrowed his brows, “Shouldn’t we go back to the hotel to have a rest before paying a visit?”

Rachel fixated her gaze on him, “Are you tired.”

“I’m a man after all so I don’t feel tired. But you’ve kept walking for the whole morning, right?” When he was speaking, he glanced at Rachel and said with concern, “If you feel uncomfortable, don’t pretend to be fine. I and Magi can visit the company in the afternoon.”

Although Magi was a bit confused, he stilled nodded in agreement, “Urg… Yep… Yep.”

Rachel glanced at Miles and then looked down at herself following Miles’ gaze. Something flashed across her mind and she suddenly understood what he meant. She chuckled, “I casually found an excuse just now. And you were convinced? I was afraid that we would stay there for too long and it would be inappropriate to decline their invitation to have lunch together if we stay until noon.”

She was casually making an excuse by saying that she was in her period, but Miles actually had taken it to his heart. This child looked nonchalant on the surface, but sometimes she would be shocked by his agility and sensibility.

Miles was stunned for a moment and he burst into laughter at the next moment. He was not embarrassed at all; instead, he said happily, “I learn another trick from Ms. Lewis again. Looks like I’m still so young that I don’t know how to read other’s expressions and doings.

Magi also figured it out and chimed in, “Not only you, I also didn’t notice it. If we agree to have lunch with them just now, I’m afraid we will not be able to continue our work in the afternoon.”

Rachel rolled her eyes heavenward and waved her hand, “Stop sucking up to me. Let’s go. Find a restaurant and have lunch.

“…”

When they were having lunch in a restaurant, Rachel received a phone call from Kenneth.

She didn’t speak. Instead, she told Miles and Magi that she needed to pick up a phone call and then walked out of the restaurant.

“Are you busy?” The man’s voice was low and hoarse and it sounded as if he had just waked up.

Rachel didn’t make an ironic remark this time. She just replied blandly, “I’m having lunch with them.”

“You won’t come back to the hotel at noon?”

“Yep. No much time is left. I will directly go to the partner company this afternoon.”

The man was muted for a second before continuing, “Rach, you don’t need to work so hard.”

His lethargic murmur and the touches of enticement carried in his low voice made Rachel felt as if she could sense the temperature of his breathing and her heart thumped wildly.

She wanted to reply: if I don’t work hard, will you support my life. It was actually a typical line in idol dramas. But reality was reality. Even if he replied ‘I will support your life’, she wouldn’t feel touched. Instead, she would feel embarrassed and humiliated.

Looking into the dazzling sun in the sky, she said emotionally, “I know my physical condition best and I care more about my health than everyone does.

Kenneth seemed to be a bit helpless and he replied in a lower voice, “I’m just worrying about the children. How can you compete with man in terms of physical power? You want to anger me and let me catch you back?”

Rachel chuckled, feeling feeless, “Then you should worry about them as you like. They’re still in my belly after all and I of course will take the unborn children with me no matter where I go. Come to catch me if you have the ability.” She spilled out the words in a slow voice and then hung up the phone with a smile.
