Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 497: Injured (Part Six)

Carson glanced at the caller ID before answering the call.

As the person over the phone spoke, the look on Carson's face became more serious.

Moments later, he replied, "I sec.”

Then, he disconnected from the call, turned his attention to Victor and said.

"It seems that our enemy feels that we're progressing too slowly, and he’s growing more impatientevery passing day.”

Victor's face turned grim. He looked back at Carson, pursed his lips, but said nothing Moments afterCarson disconnected from the earlier call, his smartphone buzzed again.He looked down and foundthat a message had been sent to him.

The words, Sullivan Group, were particularly eye-catching "Looks like these media companies havelong been dissatisfied with the Sullivan Group!"

Carson slid his fingers across the screen, causing the message to disappear right away

"Right after they heard some news about the Sullivan Group, they become riled up and couldn'twait to report news about it.They are probably afraid they might not be able to replace anything badabout the Sullivan Group Carson put his phone in his pocket and let out a sigh.

"People really do enjoy kicking a man when he’s down, huh?"

Thereafter, he sent a message to Ivan, asking him to figure out the media companies who hadreported bad news about the Sullivan Group and made it their headlines Ivan had just seen thenews at this moment.

Just before he could contact the people in Baltimore to inquire about the situation, he suddenlyreceived a message from Carson.

"Why"

he asked, Carson replied, "I want you to replace them, so that we can settle the score with them lateron."

Ivan was stunned by Carson's message, but he didn't ask any other questions.

He just asked someone to help him document all of the media companies that had released anybad news about the Sullivan Group.

Once that was done, he went on with his work.

After giving Ivan his orders, Carson felt pleased.

“Looks like I'm going to be entertained in the near future" he thought in the restaurant Rachel putdown her knife and fork.

During the meal, she had introduced the benefits that the Bennet Group could bring to the Tucker ifthey were to cooperate with her company.

While she was presenting the plan to their potential clients, her voice was flat, yet pleasant to hear.Kyle listened intently to her presentation and would occasionally ask questions.

Rachel was able to answer every question without flaws.

The assistant who was sitting next to them was amazed by Rachel as she listened in on theirconversation.

She now saw Rachel in a new light.

During this period of time, Rachel had been taking care of Joey, so she rarely had the time to go tothe company.

And even if she were in the company, most of the time, she would come and go in a hurry.Moreover, Rachel went to the company mostly for the welfare house project.

The cooperation plan of the Tucker and Bennet Group was sent to her via email yesterday inurgency.

And because of that, the assistant was worried that Rachel might have difficulties in dealing with thepresentation today.

She stayed up all night to make preparations, thinking that it could help Rachel in the event that thelatter might not be able to deal with it.

But now, the assistant realized that she was just overthinking.

Rachel did a splendid job.

If the assistant had done the presentation, she might not have been as good as Rachel.

"I'll review your plan carefully when I get back,” Kyle said, "I'm looking forward to the cooperationbetween Bennet Group and Tucker in the future.”

The assistant’s eyes lit up.

“Is he saying that they've reached a consensus to work together?’

"Thank you for putting your trust in the Bennet Group.Mr.Bentley. believe that we'll both benefitfrom this cooperation.”

Rachel shook his hand and gave him a smile.

At this point, Kyle stood up and said, "My colleagues are planning to host a welcome party for metonight. wonder if you'll give me the honor of gracing me with your presence at the party.”"Sounds like a plan, Mi.Bennet! It'll be my pleasure.”

Since they had already reached an agreement, there was no reason for Rachel to refuse hisinvitation "I'll ask my assistant to pick you up on the scheduled time."

Rachel nodded in agreement Moments later, Kyle's phone rang.He glanced at the caller ID, andbade Rachel farewell before leaving.

Meanwhile, Rachel remained in her seat, taking a sip of coffee As the assistant watched Kyle leavethe room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Bennet, you're incredible!" she exclaimed

"Huh?"

Rachel responded.

"I wasn't expecting that the negotiation with the Tucker Group to go so smoothly," the assistantexplained.

"Because of this project, we've gained even more confidence.I'm sorry for ever doubting that youwouldn't be able to handle the presentation, Miss Bennet.I'm ashamed of myself."

"Are you hungry?" asked Rachel

The assistant was feeling guilty earlier, but now she was confused by the question.

Rachel tapped a fork on the bow! of soup and said, "If you don't have some right away, it's gettingcold.It won't taste as good if it's cold.”

"Miss Bennet..."

The assistant had been worried that Kyle might deliberately ask difficult questions about theproject.She was afraid that Rachel might not be able to answer them, and she hadn't eatenanything.

Needless to say, she was pleasantly surprised that Rachel noticed this.She was really touched by hergesture.

Just then, the assistant’s phone rang.She was surprised by the news that popped up on her phone."The project of the Sullivan Group in Baltimore went wrong again.The purchasing managercommitted suicide by jumping off a building, and the director of the branch company has beentaken by the police for further investigation.”
