Have I Told You Lately

Someone patted Miles, shook the head and said, "Alright, don't go teasing Rachel anymore."

Rachel was taken aback and looked at the two of them feeling puzzled, "What?"

Magi glanced at Miles and then explained with a smile, "When you weren't here, Miles helped Mr. Lopez with something and after that he was then granted a permanent position by Mr. Lopez earlier than originally planned."

Rachel stood there blankly then suddenly she looked at him in surprise.

Miles shrank back timidly and then said rather awkwardly, "Rach, Rachel, let me explain... actually I..."

But before he had finished speaking, Rachel patted his shoulder and praised him without the slightest trace of hesitation, "Good job! As expected I was able to guide you well."

She truly was very happy for him.

After all, hard work in the workplace didn't always equate to a reward; however she hoped that hard working could be directly equated to some kind of reward.

Miles was taken aback slightly by her pat on his shoulder, and he was so cute just like a Husky, so once he had returned to his senses he smiled and looked rather embarrassed and said, "This really is all because of you, Rachel, so tomorrow night I would like to invite everyone to come for dinner, and Rachel you must definitely be coming."

Rachel raised her eyebrows and looked at him, "To celebrate you being promoted to a permanent position?"

He laughed and said, "No, I also want to celebrate you for your return."

"Yes, we must all attend the dinner tomorrow evening."

"Miles, Rachel will prepare a big gift for you."

As she witnessed the department's joyous energy and excitement, Rachel smiled and said to him "Of course I will go."

She was the one who had helped him and reached this position, he was just like her little brother, therefore no matter how busy she was, she had to go.

"Ms. Lewis, Mr. Lopez would like you to come over here."

Mr. Lopez's secretary who was stood by the door said.

"Alright, I'll be there right now."

As she signalled everyone to get back to work, she then went over to find Mr. Lopez.

With a week's work documents piled up on Rachel's desk, every time she lowered her head it was then almost impossible to see anyone over the pile which was like a hill.

She had finally got started on what she had to do when Magi entered to interrupt her saying, "Ms. Lewis, Sabrina from Dragon Age is looking for you."

"Sabrina?" Rachel looked up at him in doubt.

Why was Sabrina coming to see her again?

Magi nodded and then added, "However I heard that Sabrina already hasn't been Mr. Shawn's secretary for a long time. I don't know what she did wrong however she was demoted to the lowest level branch within the company." Rachel was slightly taken aback.

So she had to work her way upwards from the bottom?

She had already heard that she was removed his position as a secretary, but she didn't expect that she would have to work from the bottom; however no one who had worked at a company for many years would accept working from the bottom, unless she was intent on remaining working at Dragon Age.

However this woman's objective was obvious from the beginning and thus it was not surprised that she would choose to accept this.

As she finished signing the documents and put them aside, she then continued on working and replied in a low voice, "Just tell her that I only returned back to work today and therefore will make an appointment to see her another day." Magi nodded her head, "Alright."

However a few minutes later he returned, this time frowning with slight confusion, "Ms. Lewis, Sabrina has said that she is here to express her condolences on behalf of Dragon Age to see if you are feeling better... you..."

Magi then wanted to ask her what was wrong with her health, but was interrupted by Rachel who said, "Perhaps she meant to say to give their condolences to my mother; I think she is unclear on the situation. Please invite her in." Magi suddenly realized that it was normal that Mr. Shawn and Rachel were still friends, and therefore to be concerned for her mother was also normal. So without any more doubts he then said, "Alright."

After Magi had left, Rachel's face suddenly turned pale.

So it seemed that this woman really wanted to use her pregnancy and her father to threaten her.

Gripping the pen in her hand, her expression turned cold,just like the cold autumn water.

Sabrina then entered. She was wearing professional attire with perfectly done make up, and also gave off the atmosphere that she was the one in control right now.

As Sabrina looked at the woman who was blocked from view from the pile of documents on her desk, smiled and said, "It turns out that Ms. Lewis really is busy today. If I had known then I would have made an appointment for another day." Rachel put down her pen, gave her an expressionless look and said quietly, "can you find such a good excuse if you want to make it for another day?"

"I suppose not." Sabrina smiled playfully and placed her slender fingers onto the chair casually, and then glanced at her both pale and clean back of the neck, "After that day, I was really worried about your body very much." Rachel stiffened slightly and lowered her eyes.

In this short period of time the scar on her neck hadn't fully healed and therefore she had to cover it up with some concealer.

"You really don't need to say that, it's just the two of us here, if you have something to say then please hurry up and just say it, because I must get back to work." She said coldly.

Sabrina was irritated inside but didn't show this on her face and instead just sneered, "Since you decided to let me in, it seems that you understood what your assistant told you. I don't want to completely humiliate you, but if you want then I can be direct with you." Rachel looked at the document in front of her and suddenly couldn't help laughing, however there was no smile on her face, and then rather sarcastically said, "This is the first time I've heard someone say that threatening someone is somewhat respecting someone. Why won't you just directly say you are still Mr. Shawn's girlfriend? I think that many people still believe this to be true."

"You!"

Kenneth had always caused her some pain all the time, she was his secretary and therefore they had been working very closely together for many years. Although his attitude towards her has never changed, the other employees in the company don't believe it. This rumour had been circulating for a long time that even she believed it, however she wasn't able to feel satisfied and at ease until one person was finally out the way.

Rachel saw that she started to feel ashamed and her smile deepened, however her expression was still just as cold, "Don't you just want to threaten me about my pregnancy and my father? Even if just one of these were to be exposed then my reputation would be destroyed and I would be unable to stay in the company. And even if I could stay, I would just be given scornful looks and given the cold shoulder."

"However the reason you are threatening me is very clearly. You just want me to stay away from Kenneth and stop getting involved with him."

Sabrina's original charming expression suddenly turned more serious, however her deep smile remained as she said, "So... are you accepting these threats or not? Regardless of which one, there is no way you can fight back against me. If I want to make you suffer then there really are many ways to do. There are many people like your father in this world; no one would reject the chance to get money. I just need find someone to do it, and your father, mother and the money that you owe would be exposed."

Rachel stared at her silently, furious inside, however after a few moment she then said with a smile, "Is that so?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
