Chapter 21: Suspicion
Chapter 21: Suspicion
At ten o’clock sharp, staff from Dragon Age arrived at Vantage.
Sitting in the corner, Rachel slightly looked up and laid her eyes on Kenneth, who was walking in front
of his people and wearing a dark-gray suit. With his lips curling into a straight line and his face full of
indifference, he looked cold yet charming.
After shaking hands with Johnson, Kenneth scanned over the conference room, and noticed Rachel in
the corner, whose side face looked kind of chubby.
However, Kenneth only set his eyes on her for one second before pulling the chair and sitting down.
As the leader of an investment giant, Kenneth only need to speak several sentences to make people
feel his powerful vibe, which even caused a little anxiety to experienced Johnson.
Not long, the secretary pushed in a cart with coffee and dessert. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.
The secretary’s hands were full, so Rachel stood up and helped to bring coffee to staff from Dragon
Age.
When it was Kenneth’s turn, she consciously chose a warm one and didn’t accompany it with a sugar
bag.
Although Kenneth only came back home once a week, sometimes he brought work with him. Rachel
noticed that he liked drinking coffee while working and that he liked it warm and sugar-free.
So, her action today was completely out of habit.
When Rachel put the coffee in front of Kenneth, he was talking to Johnson. Seeing the saucer without
a sugar bag and that the coffee was warm, Kenneth slightly grasped his hands, but his talking speed
was not slowing down at all.
The conference was not long and only lasted for forty minutes.
Cooperation with Dragon Age made Johnson extremely pleased. After the conference, he personally
led Kenneth to the restaurant downstairs, with other people following behind.
The restaurant was quite expensive and it would take at least ten thousands of money to make block
booking. Due to the size of diners, the restaurant made the lunch a buffet.
“Hi! Manager Lewis.”
While choosing food, Rachel saw a colleague coming upon and replied, “Hi.”
After some small talk, the colleague suddenly changed the topic and gossiped, “Did you see Mr.
Kenneth? He is so young and handsome. I heard that he was less than 30. It’s almost unbelievable that
he can be so young and so rich.”
“Mr. Kenneth may look cold, but with such a gorgeous face, he can be a star. Do you know if he is
married? I bet he keeps mistresses. Rich people always do.”
The colleague stared at Kenneth while talking, with her eyes full of desire. Rachel also looked at that
way.
Kenneth loosened his tie and talked with Johnson. Though acting casually, it was like he was under
spotlight.
Something occurred to Rachel, which made her want to laugh at herself.
What a gorgeous man he was! Millions of girls wanted a piece of him, some of whom even didn’t mind
being a mistress. Still, she expected that they would share a happy life until death parts them.
How ridiculous!
“Men like him are shrewd and constrained. You won’t get anything from him.” Rachel looked up and
kept picking her food.
The colleague got curious, “How did you know, Manager Lewis?”
How did she know? Huh, because she shared the same bed with him for three years.
“Manager Lewis, why aren’t you wearing a ring?” The colleague saw Rachel’s ring finger without a ring
but a ring print, “Did you ...Did you have a divorce?”
Rachel nodded.
When they got married, she thought about inviting colleagues from company to their wedding.
However, Kenneth didn’t want more people know about their marriage, so she never told her
colleagues of her husband.
“Men all fancy pretty and young women.” the colleague complained and comforted Rachel, “Manager
Lewis, you are young and have no child. Don’t worry, soon you will find the right one.”
Rachel peeked at her belly.
It was true that she got a divorce, but she did it with a baby.
At this moment, someone carrying a plate with seafood walked pass her. The slight fishy smell made
her feel disgusted and wanted to puke.
Rachel pushed the colleague away, covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
The colleague was lightly shocked.
Kenneth inadvertently saw Rachel covering her mouth and running to the bathroom. Her face looked
pale and her belly seemed kind of round. Kenneth’s eyes darkened.
