Have I Told You Lately
Chapter 15: The Rings

Rachel was stunned.

Osmond told her, when he was out on a business trip, Monica witnessed her mother bringing other men home. It was very traumatizing for her and she stopped talking. This was the reason why he insisted to get Monica's custody.

After knowing the whole story, Rachel felt sorry for Monica.

After that day, Rachel had some time to spare each day. So, after talking to Osmond she took Monica to her company with her. She taught her how to read and write every day for some time, then send her back to Osmond.

Monica was a little timid at first, but after being praised so much by Rachel, she slowly became bold. She would smile at her; her writing was beautiful. One day she wrote the word "Daddy", when Osmond saw it, he was so moved that he couldn't speak.

One day, after bringing Monica to the company, Rachel was reminded that she had the meeting with Dragon Age today in J City.

However, when she called Osmond, she found that he had already left for the airport for a business trip abroad and Rachel didn't know when he'd come back. She didn't want to leave Monica with her colleagues, so she took her on the business trip.

It was an hour and a half long flight from N City to J City.

Dragon Age had sent someone to pick up Rachel and she was driven directly to the company.

"Miss Lewis, our general manager Mr. Shawn's plane is late, and we are not sure when he will be able to arrive. If he can't come in the afternoon, we might have to inconvenience you to stay in the hotel for one night. We apologize for this."

"It's okay." Rachel smiled.

As a giant in the investment industry, the office building is of course located in the center of J City. The surrounding buildings seem to live in the shadow of P & H Building, looking dull and gray in comparison. The person, who was with Rachel, got a phone call for something urgent, and had to leave after entrusting Rachel with the receptionist.

Rachel and Monica followed the receptionist into the elevator.

There were a lot of people in the lobby. As the elevator door closed on the lobby, she thought she saw Kenneth, wearing a black suit, always giving people around him a very strict impression but his eyes and eyebrows gentle and warm.

He was wearing a platinum ring on his ring finger. The light from the windows hitting on his hand lit up the ring even more and the reflection is dazzling. As the elevator door closed, Rachel stood there stunned, her whole body frozen.

When they got married, she chose a diamond ring, but Kenneth didn't want to wear it, saying he didn't like these things. In the end, Rachel had to ask him to buy a ring at his choice and to treasure it as his wedding ring.

Thinking about that, Rachel felt that the diamond ring on her ring finger was very hot, almost scalding her skin.

Rachel opened her mouth and asked softly, "Excuse me, is your President Kenneth Shawn?"

"Yes. Didn't you know?" The receptionist was surprised. "I thought you checked our company's information before you came."

Rachel looked at herself through the elevator mirror without speaking.

Her husband, Kenneth Shawn, run an investment company which was a giant in the investment industry; it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a billionaire, but she never knew. She only knew his name and where his family lived.

The receptionist led them to the President's Office and said, "Mr. Shawn is still not back but his assistant Miss Sabrina is available. We can continue the meeting."

After arriving at the door, she opened it for Rachel.

Rachel stepped in on her high-heeled shoes and saw a beautiful woman leaning against the desk. She was wearing a diamond ring on her finger and a bright smile on her face.

That ring was very similar with the one Kenneth was wearing in styles, almost like a couple set.

The receptionist didn't expect for Sabrina to already be there, she was startled and then greeted her hurriedly, "Miss Sabrina, I didn't know you were here already. This is Miss Lewis from Vantage Inc."

"I am familiar." Sabrina was not surprised to see Rachel. She straightened up and walked over to Rachel, "Miss Lewis, long time no see."

Rachel very calmly extended her hand and shook hand with Sabrina. Then she said with a faint smile, "Is it a gift from Kenneth? It's very beautiful and looks very elegant on your hand."
