Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 74: Sending Flowers

“What kind of learning opportunity?” Miles smiled but he never showed any signs of excitement.

Rachel turned on her laptop and replied casually, “I’m going to visit a few clients in City J this week.

You should arrange your time and see if you can make time for it. I’m going with Magi.”

“What about name cards?”

“…”

Rachel raised her brows and looked at Miles, “Well, isn’t it just a small trick for you?”

How dare this kid insult her for what happened before. What about asking for name cards? She

suffered more than him when she first entered this company.

Miles smiled brightly and showed his white teeth, “I do have time to attend. Send the departure date. I’ll

get ready.”

Rachel looked at the computer screen and said softly, “I’ll ask Magi to inform you. But for you we go,

you need to complete all the tasks on your plate first.”

She never doubted his capabilities.

“Sure thing,” Miles nodded, “Rachel, then I shall go and get busy now?”

“Hold on,” Rachel saw the disposable coffee cup at the side, and her sign of coldness showed beneath

her eyes. She requested, “Follow up with what I told you to do just now.”

Miles stunned, “What?”

He looked at the direction she was staring. He saw the cup of coffee Rachel put aside earlier, and

remembered, “Buy drinks for Dragon Age? I thought you said no earlier.”

Rachel was typing on her keyboard. She smiled, “Well, we didn’t buy them drinks in the morning, so

we'll return the favour in the afternoon instead. We should repay their effort, or else we may seem

petty. Order first, my treat. Don’t need to claim from the Finance Department. I’ll pay you back later.”

“Alright,” Miles nodded in confusion. When he was about to turn and leave, he recalled something. So

he walked back to Rachel’s desk and smiled, “Let me take a look at the logo. I’ll look it up on the

internet.”

He turned on his phone camera and repositioned the disposable coffee cup. However, he was

surprised when his finger touched the cup, “Cold drinks?”

“I…I thought it was supposed to be a hot drink? Why is there ice in it?” Miles didn’t believe what he felt.

He opened the disposable coffee cup and shook it, and he saw some ice-pieces in the drink.

Even if it is warmer in the afternoon, no one would have cold drinks in this weather.

No wonder Rachel kept drinking hot water when she walked into the office.

Rachel smiled and replied as if she didn’t care, “Maybe they made a mistake.”

Miles's lips twitched. How can Rachel have the mood to joke?

Just now Sabrina said she purposely ordered the new drink for Rachel. How can it be a mistake?

Miles hesitated and asked curiously, “Rachel, you don’t get along with Sabrina? You guys knew each

other?”

But Dragon Age had just moved in not long ago.

Rachel looked at Miles as if she heard a joke, “I knew you are good at talking but I didn’t expect you to

be such a busybody. Alright, what happened between girls stay between girls. Just do what I told you

to. But remember, tell them the drinks are from Sabrina. It is too dry out there. They might need some

cold drinks to fight against food coma after lunch.”

Miles stroked his chin and smiled playfully, “I understand what you want now, Rachel. I will get your

revenge for you.”

“…”

Rachel didn’t even say anything about revenge.

But she didn’t further discuss it. She waved her hand and asked Miles to go back to work. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Sabrina had already left the office. When she arrived at the lobby of the building, she dialled a set of

number.

The moment the call connected, a bright smile showed on her cheek. She talked in a cheerful and

obedient tone, “Aunty, I’ll have dinner with you tonight?”

“…”

“Alright, see you tonight. Goodbye.”

After ending the call, the smile on Sabrina’s cheek got cold. She looked at the direction where Vantage

Inc. was with hatred beneath her eyes.

…

During the afternoon, Rachel was discussing the projects on their hands with her subordinate in their

department. The soft voices of discussion suddenly covered up by a loud voice from the entrance.

“Hello, I’m looking for Ms. Lewis.”

“Wow, he is looking for Rachel.”

“Oh my, who is that? It is so romantic!”

“…”

The guy who stood at the entrance had caught everyone's attention.

Rachel was still commenting on her subordinate’s work on their laptop. She didn’t even notice what

happened out there.

“Rachel…Rachel…”

Someone reminded Rachel in excitement. She withdrew from her working mode, and looked at the who

pushed her, “What happened?”

“Are you Ms. Lewis?”

Before Rachel could react, her vision was filled with a big bouquet of red roses.

Rachel stunned for a few seconds. The delivery guy then handed over the bill, “Ms. Lewis, please sign

this as a proof of receipt.”

“What is this for? Who sent them?” Rachel was confused. This was the first time she received flowers

in the office.

The delivery guy smiled and handed a pen over to her, “We aren’t sure either. They are from an

anonymous sender. Please sign here.”

Rachel bit her lips, and she still felt confused. She signed the bill and stared into blank space after

receiving the bouquet.

After the delivery guy left, everyone converted their attention to Rachel.

“Rachel, did your husband send these to you? He is so romantic!”

Some of them didn’t know that she divorced, and they looked at her in admiration.

“Sending such a big, fresh rose bouquet to the office. What a sultry move!”

“Is today your anniversary?” Some people asked this because almost everyone in the office knew when

her birthday was, and it was not today.

“…”

Rachel frowned and dived deep in thought for a few seconds as if she didn’t hear any of the questions

asked. She then raised her head and smiled, “There’s no name in it. Perhaps it’s from the clients. I’ll

leave them here. If you all like it, disassemble it and put the roses into a vase. Just don’t make a mess

here.”

Rachel then left the flower onto the desk and left the scene without saying anything.

Miles raised his head and took a look at Rachel from behind his computer screen. There wasn’t any

sign of emotion on his face.

After going into her office, Rachel was still thinking about the sender of the bouquet.

The first person she eliminated from her surmise is Kenneth. It will never be him.

But there weren’t any clients that were really close to her lately.

Who is the sender then?

Rachel sat on the chair, and her fingers tapped on her desk. She was thinking with her eyes closed.

Suddenly, her phone vibrated.

Rachel was surprised. She took her phone up and took a look on the caller ID. It was a new number.

She then picked up the call.

“Hello.”

The call took a while to be connected. A gentle and calm voice then sounded from another side of the

phone call.

“Ms. Lewis.”

Rachel was surprised, “Mr. Reed?”

“It’s me,” Ogden smiled. It seemed like he was in a good mood.

“It’s you? You are calling me personally?” Rachel felt unbelievable.

Even if Mr. Reed wanted to talk to Mr. Johnson, he would have asked his secretary to contact him.

“I’m just curious. Do you like the flowers I sent?”

Rachel was shocked. She smiled stiffly, “You sent the flowers?”

She didn’t understand what was going on right now. What was Ogden trying to do?

He seemed gentle and polite to everyone. Although Rachel had never seen how he behave to women,

why did he send her flowers?

“Yes. Do you like them?”

Rachel’s smile was even stiffer. She answered politely, “I like them but…why did you send me those

flowers?”

“I wasn’t sure what you would like, so I got someone to send you a bouquet. Did I cause any trouble?”

Ogden sounded shy.

“No,” Rachel denied. She then politely asked, “I’m just asking out of curiosity. Do you need any help

from me?”
