Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 92

Rachel felt as though the veins on her forehead would burst.

She glared at Miles and made him shut up. Thereafter she forcibly suppressed her emotions and said to Magi, “Mr. Lopez wants me to deal with something in City J. Tomorrow you go back with Miles first. I will send you the information about our past few days’ work and the subsequent few days. Do handle whatever the department needs and call me if you need any guidance.”

Magi braced up and nodded, “No problem, Rachel. Rest assured that I’ll handle them properly.”

Rachel smiled and nodded.

Rachel was satisfied with Magi’s abilities although she wasn’t as smart and nimble as Miles. She was honest and dependable. Apart from those issues that were beyond her capabilities, she was able to handle most of the work.

Miles grinned at her and asked, “Rachel, what about me?”

“You?” Rachel raised her eyebrows and pretended to ponder for a moment. Thereafter she blinked and smiled warmly at him, “The department will be very busy without me. I know that you are very smart and more effective than others. So you should help the colleagues empty their trash bins, mop the floor and make coffee for them… these tasks are very important and you must handle them well.”

Miles’s handsome face froze and then smiled bitterly and said, “… okay, Rachel, I’ll do as you said. But don’t stay too long over here. I need you to make my annual assessment.”

Rachel grinned and then assured him, “Rest assured, it won’t take that long.” This chap won’t miss a chance to ridicule her and it was starting to get old.

Kenneth stood one side quietly with his hands in his pocket as he looked at them as he pondered.

Miles, suddenly looked at him and grinned, “Mr. Shawn, our manager will be here alone. Please take good care of her.” He then patted his shoulders.

Rachel rolled her eyes and said, “I’m fine and don’t need anyone to take care of me.”

Kenneth looked at Rachel’s fair cheeks and replied Miles, “With your advice, I’ll definitely not neglect her. She looks like she needs some rest. Why don’t we chat outside.”

Rachel was speechless.

…

Since Kenneth was around, Miles and Magi left soon after.

Rachel could finally vent her pent-up anger. She kicked off her blanket, wore her shoes, and walked over to him. Before he could say anything, she yanked his shirt and asked coldly, “Why did you call Mr. Lopez? What gave you the right to decide for me? Do you know how much trouble you had caused me?”

Scoundrel!

His shirt was being strongly pulled down and the first button came off. That showed how much strength she used which also implied how angry she was.

Rachel’s eyes lit up and didn’t deny but coldly said, “Than I should hide here and don’t return to City N anymore? Aren’t you afraid that your mother will be upset from the embarrassment and reveal my pregnancy to the company? I am worried about that.”

Now all the more she wanted to go back.

Kenneth said helplessly, “With the current state of your health, are you able to handle her when you go back? Just rest here and after a couple of days, I’ll go back with you to handle it. I’ll handle my mother without you.”

Rachel looked at him and quieted down. Only now did she realized that she had pulled his shirt to that state. Her hands trembled and awkwardly released his shirt.

She demanded, “How are you going to handle your mother? Your mom knows that I’m pregnant. She must be looking for me to ascertain if the child is yours or others. If the child is yours, she would fight for custody as soon as the child is born. If I say it’s not yours, she would at most give you a scolding and demand that you stay away from a filthy woman like me.”

She paused for a while and then looked at him seriously, “I will never agree to the former so you should choose the latter. At the most, she’ll just scold you. She won’t hit you since you are already an adult.”

Kenneth frowned and was upset with what she said, “Don’t you trust me?”

Rachel scoffed and laughed, “It’s not that I don’t trust you. Apart from this, are there any other choices? Or… do you believe that your mother would not fight for custody of the child?”

She understood Krista’s temper very well.
