Have I Told You Lately
Chapter 78: Go to Her Company to Catch Her

Having no idea about what she was thinking inside, Kenneth said in a gentle voice, "Just ignore them temporarily and be careful when you're outside. I will replace time to come back in these two days. Just leave the matter to me."

As if thinking of something, the coldness on Rachel's face was gradually replaced by gentleness. She pondered for a while and said, "Mind your own business. I will handle it by myself. Since I can't offend her, can't I elude her? No matter what, I will not quibble with an old lady."

She somehow knew about Kenneth's mother's personality. She was more imposing than her own mother. If she got some information, she would not give up unless she figured it out.

Luckily, she would not be home tomorrow as she had to go to a business trip; otherwise, Kenneth's mother, Krista, would probably come to her company to catch her.

The man at the other end of the phone was muted for a while. Then his gentle and charming voice sounded, "Sorry. I hadn't expected this would happen. If she really comes to replace you, please do tell me." Rachel felt a bit unaccustomed to his sudden caring and therefore she was rendered confused, not knowing how to reply. She intended to be indifferent, but her heart thumped wildly and uncontrollably. She licked her lips, wrapped her arms around her knees, lowered her head and said in a low voice, "I see. Go ahead with your own business. I'll hang up first."

Kenneth originally intended to talk for a more while, but seeing that she showed no interest in continuing the talk, he decided to end the topic and just added before ending the call, "Okay. Have a rest earlier." "Okay."

Rachel's eyelashes trembled slightly. She ended the call, hugged herself with her arms around her knees, put her chin on her legs, looking as if she was pondering something.

Sabrina Torres...

On the next day, Rachel didn't go to the company in the morning as she had to take a plane to have a business trip at night. But the thing happened just as she had anticipated yesterday. Miles, who was in the company, gave her a phone call.

"What? A middle-aged woman comes to the company to replace me?" Rachel was packing up her luggage in the bedroom when answering the call. Her expressions turned cold when she heard the words. Kenneth's mother came as she had anticipated.

"Yep. We all thought that she's your mother at the beginning. But she denied it later and said that she came to replace you for some matters, but she didn't reveal her own identity. Judging from her dressing, she looked like a rich lady."

Rachel paused. She then stood to her feet and sat beside the bed, asking, "Is there anyone by her side?"

Was Sabrina Torres by her side?

Miles replied, "She came alone." He then murmured as if he was talking to himself, "Maybe she's a customer of our company."

Rachel pondered for a second and then said, "Tell Camille that if she comes to replace me next time, just tell her that I'm not in the company. Just ignore her and she will leave."

If Krista said something, all the staff of the company would get to know that she was pregnant.

"I see." Miles didn't ask why. He suddenly thought of something and chuckled before telling it to Rachel, "Oh, by the way, I heard that half of the employees of Dragon Age, the company opposite to ours, asked for a sick leave today."

Rachel was a bit stunned and asked, "What happened?"

"Diarrhea."

Rachel immediately raised her brow and curled her lips into a smile, "Due to the cold drink? But the weather is not that cold or chilly now, so a glass of cold drink shouldn't have led to Diarrhea, right?"

"Of course. But if they eat other irritant food other than the cold drink, it is possible." Miles snickered, "I specially ordered some Hot and Sour Rice Noodles as well as some super spicy rice noodles... The foods they had yesterday afternoon were quite irritant. Of course, I enjoined them to tell the staff that was Secretary Torres who ordered the food. I guess she herself is also muddle-headed now."

Hot and Sour Rice Noodles?

Rachel twitched her mouth and knitted her brows at the next moment, "You've gone too far. I just wanted to embarrass her, but I didn't want to implicate others."

Miles hesitated for several seconds and said, "True. It's a bit inhumane. What about this? I will ask someone to send some pills to them.

Rachel was rendered speechless.

She sighed, "Let it be. Don't involve in this matter anymore. I will ask Magi to investigate into this later. If it is serious, I will handle it."

Miles replied unhappily with a nasal sound.

Rachel was stunned for a moment and then chuckled, "All right. I didn't blame you for this matter. It was me who asked you to do this and I haven't thanked you yet. Even if something has happened, it is me who should take the responsibility. Just pay more attention next time."

After finishing the words, she looked down at her wristwatch and said, "It's late now. Pack up your luggage and go to the airport with Magi. We'll meet there."

Miles' gloomy mood was swept away and he smiled, "Roger, Rachel."

On the roof of the company building, a tall and straight man slowly turned around and his young and handsome face was revealed - it was Miles. He looked down at his phone. His eyes which always looked pure and clear were now filled with complicated emotions as he slightly curled his lips into a faintly ironic smile.
