Rachel averted her gaze, no longer looking at him, but Vincent kept dogging her every step.
Hearing the footsteps behind her, Rachel was instantly irritated. “Vincent, do you not understand what I said? Or are you deaf? Should I find someone to translate for you if you can't understand? If it's the latter, I'll ask Liz to take a good look at you when she comes back.”
“I'm fine either way, but how can I leave when you haven't agreed yet?”
Judging by his demeanor, Vincent seemed ready to accompany her all the way to the office. It appeared that he wouldn't leave if she didn't say yes.
Her colleagues weren't the only ones in the law firm. Business partners were there too. Vincent's demeanor was giving her a headache.
After entering the office with Vincent, Rachel made her point clear. “Stop following me around. I have no interest in relationships and don't want to help either. If you're looking for someone to help you fend off your family, I suggest you go to the club. There are plenty of people there who will do anything for money! Even if all else fails, do you think you can't find a willing woman with your good looks? Get her pregnant within a month, and I guarantee your father will stop bothering you.”
Rachel had never been that direct to him before, but that day, she blurted everything out.
After a few days of hard-earned peace, she learned from Elisa that everyone had tacitly assumed their relationship.
Their assumption annoyed her.
“What kind of man is my father? If he was good, do you think my mother would have gotten involved with you?” As soon as Patrick was mentioned, Vincent's expression immediately turned cold.
Rachel shrugged. “What does your father have to do with me? Vincent, you said you came to me for help. Your father is well aware of my existence, but has he ever acknowledged me? My presence will only make your father oppose me more, and don't think I don't know what you're really thinking,” said Rachel, a cold smile playing at the corners of her mouth.
Vincent wanted to seize the opportunity to shorten the distance between them.
