Chapter 73: Having a Backup Plan
"Set it aside first. I'll think about it." Johnson Lopez waved his hand and changed the topic, "Please arrange two people with you to City J this week. There are a few clients for you to pay them a visit." Rachel Lewis was baffled for a second and just nodded, "Sure, I'll make an arrangement for it later."
Mr. Johnson sighed and looked at her, "You've been working hard lately. Don't worry, I won't pay you less than what you should deserve."
Rachel was speechless for a moment and gave a wry smile, "Thanks, Mr. Johnson."
This again all the time. Rachel only could laugh out if she really got that money.
Going out from the President's Office, the office area was buzzing.
Rachel craned her head to have a look and just bumped into Miles Hughes. She was puzzled and asked, "What happened?"
Miles raised the lunch box in his hand, smiling, "It's from the Dragon Age. They sent a pretty girl over here to deliver these drinks and treats."
"Delivering food? Being so kind?" Rachel raised her eyebrows, feeling surprised.
Kenneth Shawn had left already. Could it be that he had instructed something before he left?
"Isn't it? The main reason is that pretty girl. Those men are going crazy for her except me." Miles looked at Rachel proudly.
"Pff. Saying it as if you are gay." Rachel rolled her eyes and stared at him with total contempt. Then she intended to go back to her office.
"Ms. Lewis." Someone spotted her and yelled.
Rachel had no choice but to halt her steps and turned around to have a glance. She froze as she saw that so-called pretty girl turning around looking at herself.
Sabrina Torres?
Of course, the pretty girl that caused all men in the office going crazy was actually Sabrina, wearing a tight sexy knitted dress, with her wavy hair, fair skin, tall and slim. She was like a big star standing among the men there.
It turned out that last night when Kenneth talked about transferring Sabrina away from him was actually setting her down in this branch.
Rachel just knew it, how could Kenneth willing to let go of this beauty.
She despised Kenneth for being superficial secretly. She walked towards Sabrina smiling, "I heard that the Dragon Age was very considerate and brought us some snacks. So it's real and is delivered by Ms. Torres personally. You're too kind."
Sabrina's red lips curved up a little without any changes on her face, "I bought extra and deliver it here as we are so close. By the way, I ordered a drink specifically for Ms. Lewis."
As Sabrina said, she unpacked the bag on her hand. She took out a cup of drink and handed it to Rachel thoughtfully, "I heard that this is something new on the menu of that shop. It tastes good. Have a try, Ms. Lewis. If it tastes good, I'll let them send it more next time."
Rachel looked at Sabrina and glanced down at the cup in her hand.
It was definitely impossible for Rachel to not take it with so many people around watching. But Rachel wouldn't believe that Sabrina would be that kind to order a drink specifically for her and send it to her personally.
As she received it, her palm felt something cold as ice.
Rachel felt a sense of chill instantly.
Iced?
It was almost late autumn now, and who on earth would still have iced drinks?
What was this woman trying to do?
"Have a try, Ms. Lewis." Sabrina tilted her head, smiling gently.
Rachel looked down at her drink, feeling alert, and took a small sip carefully.
It was stone cold until that her teeth were chattering and she felt numb in her palms. How much ice did she put in?
"How does it taste, Ms. Lewis?" Sabrina glanced at Rachel with a great smile.
Rachel was trying to hold it in her mouth for a while, but she had no choice to swallow it just to talk. It was unpleasant and she was chilled to the bone. She remained calm and pretended to smack her lips tasting it, "It tastes good."
Subsequently, Rachel looked at Sabrina, "Ms. Lewis, you're so sweet. It's impolite to not reciprocate, how could we let you go to the expense for nothing."
"Miles."
"Yes, Ms. Lewis!" Miles put down his cup and looked at Rachel after being called.
"I think this store is quite good. Check on this logo. Order twenty cups of this flavour and deliver it the Dragon Age. Tell them it is Ms. Torres's treat."
Sabrina's expression changed, but she still gave a fake smile, "I've ordered for them. Don't bother. They can't finish that many too anyway."
Rachel nodded and replied, "Alright then. We will deliver it next time."
She raised the cup in her hand and smiled, "Thanks for your coffee, Ms. Torres. Have a chat with them. I have to get back to work. Miles, come over here." "Alright."
Rachel pushed the door open and entered her office. Miles then came in and closed the door customarily.
Rachel placed the coffee on the edge of the table and grabbed her own cup to have a sip of hot water.
Her actions were calmed and seemed to be casual. However, Miles had noticed it. But he just raised his eyebrows over it and asked, "Ms. Lewis, what's the matter?"
"An opportunity to learn. Do you want it?" Rachel put her cup down, looking at Miles.
In fact, Rachel was fond of Miles's personality traits. He was smart and quick-witted. He knew what to do at the right time without telling him to.
Cultivating juniors was every superior's responsibility.
But the main point of her was for her own sake. Rachel clearly knew that she wouldn't stay long in the company, but yet she didn't intend to quit her job. It would be difficult for her to carry out her work during her maternity leave and nursing period. She had to find someone trusted to help her out.
For the sake of her child and family, she had to plan a backup strategy well. She must not lose her job.000☐☐☐☐
