Have I Told You Lately

Rachel didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

When she got married, Kenneth was unwilling and attached conditions to it. Now, when she wanted a divorce, he was still unwilling. He really was unpredictable. The next morning, Rachel went to the bank to cash the check.

Then she carried two bags full of cash to the law firm, "Mr. Conrad, here! Two and a half million should be enough to handle my father's case."

The lawyer, Mr. Conrad checked it, obviously relieved, "This is good; it makes up for the stolen money. I will try my best to defend your father in the trail." "Thank you." Rachel didn't know what to say. She just thanked him again and again.

She was really grateful that her father knew such a good lawyer who was willing to accept such a case. Otherwise, it would be near impossible for her to find a lawyer. "Miss Lewis, Mr. Johnson wants to see you in his office."

As soon as she stepped into her office, the president's secretary called her. She put down her things and hurried to his office to find out that it was a cooperation case.

Her company had cooperation with Dragon Age, an investment giant in the industry, and had agreed to a meeting next Wednesday. However, the person who was going as a representative was in the hospital due to ectopic pregnancy and she recommended Rachel to attend the meeting on her behalf.

"Me? Mr. Johnson, please don't joke around like that." Rachel was speechless, "I just work in data. You can't ask me to lead this meeting; it's like pushing me into a fire pit. I don't even know anything about this one."

"Don't worry too much. I'll send someone to accompany you. You can do it according to the contract." Mr. Johnson smiled, "I have no other choice. If only our company had more people as eloquent as you, then I won't have to make you do this."

Before Rachel had the chance to speak, he played the trump card of bonus, "If you agree to go, I'll ask the financial department to give you an extra twenty thousand yuan of for hardship allowance and all the travel expenses will be fully reimbursed."

He is too cruel. He was trapping her with money.

She needs money!

"Okay, please remember to get someone to book my flight." Rachel took over the contract from Mr. Johnson. It was just a meeting to negotiate the contract. She had experience as a translator, although it is jus listening and translating, she still understood many business words.

The twenty thousand yuan will be enough for her and Theresa for three months.

After returning to her office, Rachel looked at the case file for this cooperation case. Out of professional habits, she searched Dragon Age Investment Co., Ltd. online.

It was an investment company that was developed in J City four years ago and was listed overseas around two years ago. Recently, this company, with a market value of tens of billions, had bought P & H building.

Rachel felt astonished.

It had developed this much in just four years, and its owner must be from a very rich family!

Rachel scrolled down to see what kind a man the owner was, just then her cellphone rang. It was Osmond, she picked up the call.

"Hey! I was just going to call you. I want to invite you and Monica for a dinner tonight."

Osmond laughed lightly, "Great! Looks like I called at the right time. When do you get off work? I'll come to pick you up."

"Half past five."

After hanging up the phone, she looked at her computer screen which was empty. Not being able to remember what she was doing she just shook her head and muttered, "What was I looking up? I am getting old for sure, can't even remember trivial things."

Unable to remember, Rachel simply gave up and started to do other work.

After work, Osmond came to pick her up with Monica and they went for dinner. Seeing Monica preoccupied with a cellphone and not even talking to Osmond, Rachel got a little curious.

"Osmond, may I ask, why doesn't Monica speak?"

He patted Monica's head softly and said with a slightly bitter smile, "She has autism..."
