Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 43: Do you really like her?



At the other side, Geoffrey who was abandoned by Sabrina found his way to the President's office, and he saw a man who had an unhappy expression on his face. He let out a sneer without reserve. "Things do not go your way again?"

The man shot him a glance, but did not reply him.

Geoffrey walked into the room and peeked at the child who was sleeping soundly on the sofa. He gave a pat on the man's shoulders and said, "Do you need me to help you?"

"I don't need you to interfere in my affairs." Kenneth looked at him emotionlessly; obviously his mood was in tatters.

Geoffrey raised the corner of his lips and said lazily, "Without my interference, you still have to make up your mind soon, am I right? Now that she's playing the role of stepmother perfectly, if you're still letting things be, soon her soon-to-be-born children will call other man as their dad."

Although there weren't concrete evidence about this, the children in her belly was most probably his children too.

Kenneth's handsome face was getting even more tensed, as if there was a storm brewing underneath the surface.

Strangely, he was not too eager to discover whether the children really belonged to his genetics. He wanted to know what that woman was really thinking. Was she really planning to marry Osmond? After remaining silent for some time, his distant gaze shifted to the front as he cupped his chins. He said in a low voice, "Other than Osmond, if there's a guy who is pursuing her, do you think she will accept him?"

Geoffrey was stunned temporarily and he stared at him blankly for a few seconds. After sensing something interesting, he asked in astonishment, "Are you going to pursue her?"

Was he going to pursue that woman?

That woman was also his ex-wife.

Kenneth glared at his two excited pupils and couldn't help but feeling somehow guilty of himself. He squeezed his brows unnaturally besides kicking him and said, "I'm talking about that woman, aren't you always claiming that you understand women the most?"

He received this kick head on and this made Geoffrey retrieved his cheekiness. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and raised his eye lids while saying coldly, "I only understand woman who's in love, not a pregnant one. How would I know what's on her mind? Any woman who's pregnant like that would be anxious to look for a father figure for the children, let alone the fact that she's shouldering so much debt. If she is going to go through this alone, the future might not be bright for her. She's not that stupid."

Kenneth pressed his lips into a line and suddenly descended into silence.

He came to the conclusion that no matter how he deduce things, Osmond would appear to be the one she would consider the most.

Geoffrey scanned him with questioning eyes for a full minute before averting his gaze on the surroundings. He said with curved lips, "As your brother, I must remind you that this woman is like business opportunity, in a flash they will become other's belongings. Still, this is your fault too partly, a person who has no respect for himself can't expect something good to happen to him."

Before they were divorced nothing was being said, and now when they're actually apart he was trying his best to get in close proximity within her, this was the definition of having no respect for oneself. When he was finishing his sentence, before Kenneth could respond, he suddenly came closer and asked with a mysterious smile, "Hey, have you really fallen for her?"

Kenneth furrowed his eyebrows and stared at his smiling handsome face in disgust. He bellowed, "Get lost!"

He was not sure whether he really liked her, but if the child in her belly was his, he definitely would not allow her to remarry someone else.

The man focused his gaze outside the window, his depthless eyes were swirling with contrasting emotions, and they were cold and icy.

Sabrina roughly showed Rachel around the company without being sincere in her intentions. When they met someone, she would act like they were the best sisters in the world; when they were no one around her expression was as ugly as the witch's, and this made Rachel shudder. She wondered whether she had learnt how to change her face professionally.

"Up ahead is the technical department, but I doubt that you would understand what's going on, so there's no need for us to go there." Sabrina impatiently gave some description and was about to leave.

"It's precisely that I don't know anything about this that I should learn about it. If you are too busy, you can take your leave, Sabrina. I will be fine by myself." Rachel let out a dry laugh while she didn't stop in he tracks as she entered the technical department.

Sabrina's expression dimmed and she gritted her teeth and suppressed her anger before following her. She could not scold her here.

In the technical department, Rachel together with Sabrina listened to the employee there to explain everything about the department. It was like experiencing a lecture class. She asked questions without rest and there was no interval where Sabrina could interrupt.

Sabrina was almost running out of patience. She could express her opinions in front of so many employees, therefore she could only glared at her secretly.

Why was this woman so bothersome? Was she here to get training?

Rachel looked as if she was ignoring her presence; her bright face was always full of smiles as she listened intently to the employee's explanation.

Of course, she was doing this on purpose, but Sabrina was also not planning to give her any attention. She didn't want to waste any time on her since both Kenneth and Geoffrey were here. Her focus was all on that man.

It took a while before the explanation was over, and Sabrina grasped the chance and hurriedly intercepted them, "Miss Rachel, you must be tired after almost half a day of visiting, I have just ordered for some hot drinks for you, why not we take a break now?"

A smile formed on her lips as she finally nodded in kindness, "That's a good idea, thank you Sabrina."

"You're welcome, this way, Miss Rachel."

Sabrina could finally be at ease, if this continued any further, she would probably vomit blood. This woman really knew how to torture someone.

Out of the department, the corridor was empty. She could no longer hold back as she jeered in a cold tone, "Rachel, I salute you for being ruthless."

Rachel who was walking in front of her casually brushed her hair beside her ears and laughed heartily, "I am just visiting all departments of your own company, you must have get in a good workout. How can you blame me for that? Sabrina, you are not a grateful person."

Of course she knew that Sabrina was feeling upset.

They had been walking around for the whole day, and this had caused some discomfort in her soles although she was wearing flats, let alone Sabrina who was wearing high heels that had a ten centimetres long heel. Blisters must be forming on her soles.

She had accomplished her goal, so Rachel had no intention to continue this torturing session. She paused briefly before turning around and said, "You can have those hot drinks to yourself, I have some matter to attend to, so I won't trouble you anymore. I'm taking my leave now."

"Hey, you, you..."

Seeing that she was discarding her just like that, Sabrina's face suddenly transformed into an ugly expression, she was choking with her own blood now.

This damn woman, she had treated her like an idiot the whole time.

When she returned to Kenneth's office, she received a call from Osmond.

"Rachel, I am already at the downstairs of your company, I heard that you're not here."

Rachel froze, and he immediately scanned her surroundings. She explained, "Uh, senior, I forgot to tell you that I'm not in the company right now. I am in the building opposite the company, please wait for a while, I'll go look for you now."

Osmond replied, "Aren't you busy right now? Should I go look for you instead?"
