Chapter 41: Getting a Personal Revenge on a Professional Setting

“Geoffrey.” Sabrina regained her composure very quickly as she nodded at him politely.

Kenneth peeked at her and said, “Show Geoffrey around.”

Sabrina shot a glance at Rachel and said, “What about you guys?”

“Sabrina, I can see that the decorations here are very tasteful, please brief me on them, once I get

back I plan to renovate my shabby place.” Geoffrey interrupted her abruptly while scanning his

surroundings. His hands were buried in his pockets as he gave out a lazy vibe.

Sabrina bit her lips while trying to curb her dissatisfaction. She could only nod reluctantly, “Alright,

Geoffrey, follow me.”

As Rachel was still staring at them, a male voice sounded by her ears, “Follow me.”

She hesitated for a second but immediately pulled along Monica and followed him.

In the president’s office, the newly renovated room had white and grey colour theme, and the whole

place was exuding a mature aura, not to mention it was chic and spacious.

She turned her head and laid eyes on the ceiling-to-floor window subconsciously.

The office space in the building directly opposite here was her own office.

Although this was just a subsidiary company and he didn't came here always, when she imagined

herself sitting opposite him, a weird feeling crept up onto her.

“Give me that.”

Amidst her absent-mindedness, a sound very nearby suddenly broke the silence.

She was mildly surprised as she came back to her senses. She saw the man opposite her stretching

out his hand at her.

“What are you doing?” She took a step back automatically.

“Are you going to continue carrying her like that? Even if you’re fine she is probably feeling

uncomfortable sleeping like that.”

The man’s brows did not show any changes as he carried with him the sleeping Monica directly from

her arms. He walked to the sofa and carefully laid down the child, and took off his jacket to act as a

blanket covering her.

His movements were strangely natural, elegant and gentle, and this sight caused Rachel to suddenly

feel a searing sensation behind her ears.

This whole ordeal had made her look like an unreasonable woman.

“There won’t be anybody coming here. If you’re tired, you can take a seat and have some rest.”

He didn’t forget that she was still a pregnant woman and she must be exhausted entertaining those few

people the whole morning.

Rachel was still staring blankly at a point in space, and she didn’t notice him standing beside her as the

sight of his long white pants slowly registered on her field of vision. Looking at his slender figure, she

inadvertently felt her face scorching again.

She rubbed her nose to hide her embarrassment while staring at another direction. She steadied her

voice and asked, “Aren’t I here to visit the company? If later on Mr. Johnson asks about this, do you

think he will believe that I’m having a serious conversation about life with Mr. Kenneth in the president’s

office?”

“Aren’t you interested in talking about that?” The man raised his eyebrows.

Rachel gave him a strange look and said, “Is there still any point to talk about with me?”

“About the software that your company is currently developing.”

Rachel was stunned, “Ah?”

Software?

A faint smile appeared at the man’s lips which amplified his sexiness. He tilted his huge figure forward

slightly, appearing to close the distance between him and her and asked, “What do you think I am

going to talk about with you?”

An obvious red hue had dyed Rachel’s face as she struggled to maintain her composure. She even

began to stutter, “A… about the software, I… I think you should talk to our research and development

department, you can’t ask me about that. I’m not that familiar with the details.”

“Then, Manager Lewis, you appear to be not so professional to me, if you don’t even know the ins and Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

outs of your own company, how can we proceed with negotiations about cooperation?”

“…”

Rachel quietly swallowed a few times while looking at the handsome face in front of her eyes. She was

a little annoyed, “Kenneth, you’re getting your personal revenge on this professional setting. You know

very well that I’m not an expert in this area, yet you are purposely putting me in a hard spot.”

“You’re already the branch manager since three years ago, you can’ tell me that you are not capable

enough to adapt. If I’m really exacting my personal revenge in the workplace, I figure you wouldn’t be

here anymore.” The man mocked her mercilessly.

Rachel replied without thinking, “Then where will I be?”

“These are grudges between a man and a woman, how do you think we should solve this?”

Rachel was still at a loss.

The man’s eyes darkened, and suddenly he held her chin, and lunged forward to kiss her.
