Have I Told You Lately
Chapter 60: Entrusted With Important Tasks

She grabbed at her hair angrily, and then pushed him away and left without waiting for his response.

In the end, she went to the reception and asked for the meeting room number where the president was, and asked the waiter to take her there.

With her hair in slight disarray being an exception, everything else seemed fine. When she returned to the room, Kenneth was already there. She returned to her cushion and sat down calmly. Ogden looked at her and chuckled, "You took very long, did you get lost?"

"No, I just got a call." Rachel said with a light smile on her face; her heart dropped a little in fear.

Was he guessing or observing?

Recalling Kenneth's warning, she frowned slightly. He really looks more complicated and difficult to distinguish than Kenneth, but she is only a small manager. What can he want with her?

And with his looks and situation, there must be a pile of women just lying around for him at all times; he won't be interested in her that way.

"Now that we're all here, let's go to the restaurant next door. I've already ordered dinner." Ogden looked down at his watch and smiled elegantly.

The secretary got up first, and then the others got up.

Rachel stood up and followed Mr. Johnson. She didn't even glance in Kenneth's direction. He too looked like nothing happened. His eyes were calm and his handsome face was indifferent without any expression.

Sure enough, it's never the same for wealthy people. There are some people who can show their net worth with just a meal.

A big table with just a few people looked somewhat cold and empty.

Rachel chose to sit between the female secretary and Mr. Johnson. Although, Kenneth did not sit opposite to her and she could finally look up naturally and be at ease, she now had a lot lingering on her mind and she looked somewhat absent-minded.

Ogden called her name a few times but didn't get a response, so Mr. Johnson had to pat her on her shoulder.

"Miss Lewis, are you not feeling well?" Ogden asked kindly.

Rachel said with an embarrassed smile, "Sorry, Mr. Ogden. I was thinking about my mother just now. She sprained her leg today, and she is in the hospital."

Ogden frowned, "Do you want to go back now? I heard Mr. Johnson say that you were resting today and I felt guilty to call you here."

Kenneth looked at her but said nothing.

Rachel shook her head and smiled, "No, it's alright, I just called. There's a doctor there. It's OK."

"Is it really okay?" Mr. Johnson also asked her just to be sure.

"It's really okay. However, I might leave a bit earlier. I hope you both will not mind." She looked at them apologetically, but did not look at Kenneth.

"It's OK. Come on, let us eat." Ogden said gently, his appearance calm.

A few minutes later, the waiter came up to pour the wine.

Ogden said to the other two men, "Mr. Shawn, Mr. Johnson, this is my first visit to N City. The new company will soon be operating here. I hope you two can take good care of them in the future." "Sure! Although, your companies are all over the country and in every industry, it should be Dragon Age who needs to be taken care of by you." Kenneth raised his glass and said almost lazily. "And Vantage!" Mr. Johnson joined in to finish the sentence, then raised his glass in a toast and clinked it with Kenneth's glass.

One glass of wine.

The waiter re-filled the glasses.

Ogden curled his lips into a smile and looked at Rachel, who sat opposite to him. "Miss Lewis, I didn't drink with you last time, but this time, I must get to know you better. The cooperation between our two companies will depend on you to connect us well in the middle."

Rachel didn't understand, "Me?"

She glanced at Mr. Johnson again.

Mr. Johnson smiled and explained, "Several of the companies that Mr. Ogden invested in in N City all intend to cooperate with Vantage. I want you to take responsibility and manage it well."

Rachel's heart sank. She didn't want to take it. She hesitated for a few seconds and then said tactfully, "Mr. Johnson, Mr. Ogden, I'm just a data analyst. I may not be competent for this important project. I can't afford to be ignorant and make a mistake."

She had been in the workplace for so long, that she knew what it means to access one's capabilities and act accordingly, and how to save oneself from hidden weapons. She knew never to provoke things that would rise up as troubles later.0000
