Have I Told You Lately
Chapter 58: I'm Divorced

Kenneth's eyes also changed when he saw her. He looked a little surprised to see her there. But then, he acted like he didn't know her and went straight to greet the two men.

Mr. Johnson, conscious of his level being lower than that of Kenneth, stood up politely to greet him, "Mr. Shawn."

Ogden stayed comfortably in his place and said with a joking smile, "I was just saying you must be punished for being late and made to drink more alcohol. Haha! I didn't know you'd come as soon as I mention you. Your desire to survive is good but you still must receive punishment."

Kenneth sat down opposite to Rachel and retorted with a casual smile, "I'm afraid I'd have to decline, Mr. Ogden. I came alone. I have to drive later. I'd just be drinking tea."

Ogden shook his head. "That's fine. It's rare to be able to sit together like this, just us. Who cares about alcohol? Ah! I heard that your branch office in N City is right across from Mr. Johnson's head office. Such a big connection of fate must be toasted to."

"Sure, sure!" Mr. Johnson nodded with a smile and personally picked up the teapot to pour tea for Kenneth.

Rachel looked down absent-mindedly, her head drooping slightly. She didn't know what to think or how to behave.

Ogden glanced at her and laughed, "What's wrong, Rachel? You joke around with me but as soon as Mr. Shawn came you lost all words. Are you scared?"

Rachel raised her head to look at him but accidentally ended up looking straight at Kenneth's handsome face. She was flustered, her heart in an uproar; ignoring her heart she looked away and smiled stiffly, "I have never had a chance to sit with three people of your caliber. It's normal to be scared, right?"

As a small manager, she didn't dare to think about it.

After knowing that Kenneth was the Dragon Age's president, she had been curious. Apart from being a very good-looking man, he spoke quite less, and knowing if he was happy, angry or sad was always hard; how did he manage such a large company?

She really didn't know much about him before.

Kenneth suddenly gave her a faint smile, "Right there with you, on that. If it wasn't for Mr. Johnson, I wouldn't get to know you, Miss Lewis."

Rachel's expressions stiffened.

Did he imply that if it was not for Mr. Johnson, she would not be able to sit here at this level.

Is he here to humiliate her?

Forcing out a smile, Rachel's responded tepidly, "I really should thank Mr. Johnson. If it wasn't for him, I might not have met you, Mr. Shawn."

Implying that if she had known he would be here, she would have never come here, even if it meant offending her boss.

Mr. Johnson, who had been mentioned quite much in a small amount of time, looked at them confusedly. He didn't know exactly how he got involved in this exchange of words; He could only smile awkwardly. Looking at Rachel, Kenneth pursed his lips and did not speak again.

Ogden looked at them; his dark eyes seemed to understand something. He just said in a strange tone, "I have known Mr. Shawn for years. I heard that his hometown is in N City, so I asked him to be here today. It looks like Miss Lewis knows him too."

Rachel raised her eyebrows and chuckled, "I've only seen him once or twice."

She deliberately put stress on once or twice, thinking that she still had the right to be angry at him. Kenneth, however, sat there unmoving and expressionless. He simply said, "I don't remember."

Rachel was dumbfounded.

This asshole!

The talk turned towards their work for a while, as well as their future development in N City, as well as the topic Rachel was anticipating the most: Vantage Inc.'s cooperation. But, after seeing Kenneth again, al her passion for her work was gone, and she didn't pay much attention to what the others said.

Later, Mr. Johnson suddenly looked at her and said, "Rachel's husband is also in investment. I think he is also in J City."

For a moment, everyone's focus was on her.

Startled by the sudden mention, Rachel's body was suddenly filled with adrenaline, nervous and energetic.

Ogden looked a little surprised, "Miss Lewis, you are married? So young and doing so well in her career I'd never have thought she is someone who was already married."

Rachel once again hung a stiff smile on her face, shot a look at the man opposite to her, then said, "Yeah, I married like a confused fool when I was very young." Confused fool?

Kenneth's handsome face hardened slightly; his eyes fixed on her.

If her father didn't become a lobbyist and convinced his father, then his father wouldn't have forced him to take her as a wife; this marriage would have never happened then, nor this current situation But If he hadn't married her then, how would he replace...

Ogden seemed to be amused by her, "It seems that you are very affectionate with your husband, but seeing you talk about him like old married couples do is a little astonishing. Your husband must be a very excellent person who is considerate enough of your career. Since he is also in J City, maybe we would've heard of him. What is his name?"

Rachel's heart dropped like a stone; she was too embarrassed to smile. She deliberately fixed her expressions and said, "Oh! No, no, he just runs a small business; it can't be compared with yours."

Kenneth looked at her trying to cover up, a trace of resentment awakened in his heart, if they hadn't divorce, was she planning on hiding this all her life?

Anxious, he completely forgot the state of their married life, the reason they even got married, the contract of only four years and the fact that he never acknowledged her as his life partner. Kenneth didn't seem to realize all this at that time. He just felt like a lover who had fallen from her eyes. His eyes gradually became cold as he looked at her; looking at her he said, "You are too modest, Miss Lewis. If he is in investments in J City since a long time, then we would know him. Even if we don't know him now, tell us his name and we'd remember if we someday meet him."

If Rachel didn't calm herself down in time, she'd have taken a cup and smashed it on the ground.

What the hell was this ba$tard trying to do?

Was that what he wanted? To tell her ex-husband's name to the whole world?

After a second's silence, Rachel raised her head and smiled. She said calmly, "Although I want to say his name, but now he has nothing to do with me. I can't really disclose other people's private information. Because.... I'm divorced. "

"Divor..." Mr. Johnson was stunned and he suddenly remembered the time she asked to borrow money from him. He was extremely embarrassed and said, "Rachel, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." Rachel's expressions were of complete indifference, "It's alright, Mr. Johnson, it's nothing; not a big deal. I didn't tell you, but many people in the company know."

Ogden didn't look embarrassed at all. He said quite naturally, "You handle such emotional affairs so cleanly. I really admire you. You are so young and beautiful. I believe you will meet someone better." "Thank you for your blessing, and I believe I will replace someone better too." Rachel knew he was just being polite, so she too replied politely, but her eyes were looking at the man opposite to her.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
