Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 44: So Cheap

“That’s, that’s okay, I’m done with my stuff, wait for me there for a while. I’ll be there soon.” Rachel

hurriedly finished her sentence and hung up the phone without waiting for a reply.

Kenneth was here, she dreaded the prospect that both of them were meeting again. When she thought

of them seeing each other, the cringe and awkwardness almost suffocated her.

She walked at a brisk pace towards the President’s Office and knocked on the door before entering.

The man was busy with his work and Geoffrey was there too.

Since there was one more person here, things didn’t seem as awkward as before. She looked at the

man and said, “Mr. Kenneth, I have done visiting your company, and it was getting late now, I still need

to report to Mr. Johnson after this. I have to go back now.”

The man shifted his gaze from the computer screen and looked at her, but he didn’t answer

immediately.

Rachel bit her lips as she headed to the sofa. She removed the man’s jacket and put it aside and

brought up Monica who was still sleeping soundly. She threw a glance at Geoffrey and bowed, “I’ll take

my leave. Goodbye.”

After finishing her words, she turned around and was about to exit the office.

“Wait a minute.” The man’s voice suddenly sounded.

She froze on the spot, her heart dipped considerably. She turned around and glared at him and said,

“Mr. Kenneth, I have shown you enough respect, what else do you still want? Do you have to make

things difficult for both of us?”

Geoffrey looked at the both of them meaningfully while swirling the glass containing red wine in his

hands. He was sitting elegantly on a chair by the window, looking relaxed.

Kenneth shut his computer and stood up. He emerged from his desk and said faintly, “Coincidentally I

have some matter to discuss with Mr. Johnson, shall we go together?”

“…”

Rachel was instantly shrouded in silent anger, her eyes a maroon colour. If it was not because of the

child in her embrace, she really wanted to give him a good kick there and then.

She didn’t realize that he was such a pesky and troublesome guy.

She took several deep breaths to calm down before gritting her teeth hard, “If you want to go, go on

your own. Don’t follow me.”

She had no energy to argue further with him. After saying this, she turned around and left for good. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Kenneth pressed his lips into a line, picked up the jacket on the sofa before marching towards her to

follow her.

As he was closing the door, Geoffrey’s faint and small voice sounded in the office.

“So cheap.”

Rachel entered the lift, and Kenneth appeared after that casually. It seemed like he didn’t plan to take

the same lift as her.

When the lift ascended, Sabrina who was looking for him suddenly saw him here. Her expression

changed slightly as she asked, “Kenneth, where are you going?”

“I have some matter to attend to.” The man did not want to explain further.

“Let me go with you.” She said as she came to his side, her pace a little messy.

The man noticed something unusual about her, so he knitted his brows and asked, “What happen to

your leg?

Sabrina was delighted secretly as she interpreted this as him caring about her. She pressed her lips

and said in a pitiful voice, “There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just that I have been walking around for so

long when accompanying Miss Rachel, my soles are probably swollen.”

The creases in the man’s brows were even deeper now.

He had just suggested for her to look around the company, not for her to visit every corner of the

company without missing out on any department. Was she really resentful towards him? She didn’t

even take into consideration of her pregnancy in order to hide from him.

The more Kenneth thought about this the more frustrated he became. His handsome face showed a

hint of tension, and his jawlines were tensed as well.

Sabrina saw his expression and thought that he was feeling angry for her and this made her feel

overjoyed. She purred, “Kenneth, please don’t blame Miss Rachel for this.”

When she was in the middle of her words, the lift finally arrived. As the door slid open, the man peeked

at her without any emotion and said, “If you’re unwell, you can take a break. I’m giving you half day of

leave now, you don’t need to follow me anymore.”

“…”

Sabrina was stunned and confused, she watched him disappear into the lift and the lift door clamping

shut before coming to her senses. “Ken- Kenneth…?”

Who said she wanted to take a leave?

It was all Rachel’s fault…

Something flashed across her mind suddenly as she realized something.

She bit her teeth hard while glaring at the lift door. Sabrina clenched her fists as her hatred for Rachel

was amplified tremendously.

She dragged her painful legs to the President’s Office, and reaffirmed that Geoffrey was really sitting

there lazily. Her face looked even uglier now.

Without beating around the bushes, she asked him directly, “Geoffrey, what is the deal between

Kenneth and that woman? Aren’t they already divorced?”

Geoffrey was not surprised at her sudden intrusion and bombardment of questions. He just tilted his

head and focused on the ground level scenery outside the window. He laughed, “Who told you that

they can’t be together again after being divorced? Both of them are still single now, anything can

happen.”

Sabrina’s mood immediately plummeted to the bottom. She used to think that Kenneth would never lay

his eyes on that woman anymore, but now she was not so sure anymore. This development was out of

her expectation.

“There’s no way, Kenneth won’t like her.” She said in a determined tone and her eyes were icy.

Geoffrey stared at her for a few seconds before displaying a brilliant smile and said, “Sabrina, a woman

should be smart at all times. If you are conceited, then you are not a smart woman anymore. It’s up to

him what should he do about his personal affairs, it’s not something me and you can have control over.”

Sabrina straightened her spine, her true intentions shone through her gaze, “You are always the

onlooker but I’m different, I have waited too long for him to get this divorce, how can I see them being

together again? Kenneth does not like him; his mother does not like him as well. There’s no way she

can be part of the Shawn family again.”

“But, he’s not into you either. Rachel and he were actually together for three years, but you have been

making sure your presence in front of him every day, but he has never considered you. Obviously

appearances and body figures are the last of his concern.”

“…”

His words firmly pierced through her heart.

Sabrina’s complexion suddenly became pale, this was a fact that she had tried her best not to

acknowledge.

She continued biting her lips and argued, “Kenneth… is different from you. He’s just a little naïve, and

won’t be tempted by beautiful appearances. Then again, he’s always not at home, you can’t tell

whether he’s already slept with that woman or not.”

Geoffrey’s peach-like eyes contained a faint smile; he looked at her briefly before averting his gaze

onto somewhere distant.

If they hadn’t slept with each other before, then what explanation could there be for her pregnancy? He

was not that stupid to the point he couldn’t discern whether he has been cheated on or not.

After some time, he took a sip of the red wine, and a strange look came into his eyes. He said lazily, “I

can’t be sure whether flirting will work or not, but it’s a natural instinct for a man to want a woman,

unless he’s sexually frigid. Why not… you give him a try?”

Sabrina stared at him, her eyes lighting up with something.

…

Downstairs, Rachel was carrying Monica in her arms whilst walking out of Dragon Age and heading

towards her own company building.

She felt that someone was staking her so she turned around. It was really that man who had followed

her with an average pace. He didn’t look at her, and he appeared to be not following her at first glance.

She gritted her teeth, and decided to ignore him.

Downstairs at Vantage Inc., she saw Osmond from far away as she shouted, “Senior.”
