Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 38: She’s Shy with Other Strangers

Rachel changed her expression slightly. “Now? Downstairs?”

She had informed the staff to report their appearances in advance. But they came sooner than she

expected.

Glancing at the little girl on the toilet, Rachel asked on the phone, “How many people are there?”

Kenneth wouldn’t be there, right?

“Three.”

Three?

Rachel bit her lower lip and whispered, “Larry, is there a young man in a gray, gray suit, um, who is

very hot but impassive?”

She wasn’t sure it was gray or black, since they were far away before. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Larry fathomed for a while and replied in a low voice, “Manager Yvonne, I don’t think there isn’t the one

you mentioned. They three are plain.”

“…”

Rachel heaved a sigh of relief, answering briskly, “Okay, let them come up first.”

Putting away the phone, Rachel waited for Monica a few minutes before cleaning up and leaving.

“Are you hungry? Take this.”

Passing by the break room, Rachel handed the girl a bag of snacks. At the same time, several men

approached from the direction of the opposite elevator.

“Are you from the Dragon Age?” She moved forward.

“Yes, Hello, Manager Yvonne?”

Rachel reached out politely. “Hello, I’m Rachel from the Vantage Inc.”

They saw Monica and smiled politely. “This is your daughter? She’s adorable.”

Rachel didn’t clarify it, just smiling apologetically. “Sorry. Adults are not at home today, so I took her

here. She’s well-behaved and won’t bother us.”

“It’s okay. It’s not easy to have a child.” They all understood and nodded.

Without too much chitchat, Rachel led them to the conference room for cooperation.

She had been working for a few years. It was a piece of cake for her to handle guests.

It was at noon when the whole process was over.

By tacit agreement, the host should offer a meal.

“It’s time for lunch. Shall we go down for a meal? We’ll continue the discussion in the afternoon.”

They exchanged glances and nodded. “Okay.”

Rachel immediately turned to the assistant who was following her. “Magi, call the restaurant and book a

private room. We’ll be there soon.”

“Manager Yvonne, don’t bother. Actually, we found a decent restaurant when we got around this

morning. Shall we take the lead?” One representative cut in with a smile.

“Yeah, yeah, anyway, we all work in this neighborhood. We can help each other.”

Rachel hesitated for a while and then smiled. “Okay, you go first. I need to grab my things.”

“OK.”

When they left, Magi looked at Monica and couldn’t help but ask, “Rachel, do you have to go?”

Rachel sighed. “They’ve made it clear. If I don’t go, don’t you think it’s impolite?”

“But the girl… Or let our colleague look after her for a while?” Magi grinned.

Rachel rubbed Monica’s head. “Except for her dad and me, she’s shy with other strangers.”

Then she glanced at him and curled her lips. “I think you’re young and energetic. If you’re really

considerate, take some wine for me.” They didn’t know she was pregnant. And she couldn’t find an

excuse not to drink on this occasion.

Magi stood straight and smiled formally. “Yes, Rachel, don’t worry. I’ll definitely complete the task.”
