Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 79: Did He Cheat on You?

The plane landed in City J when the night closed in. Rachel, Miles and Magi took a taxi to the hotel, put

down their luggage and went to the restaurant opposite to the hotel to have dinner together.

As they were all kept in the dark about Rachel’s pregnancy, Magi and Miles ordered various kinds of

dished according to their own preferences.

Looking at the salty and spicy dishes in front of her, Rachel secretly swallowed salvia when seeing the

meat and vegetables.

She had tried hard to distance herself from these kinds of food after learning about her pregnancy. It

was not that she didn’t like them, but it was for the sake of the children. She had been strictly controlled

her diet.

And the dishes on the table were definitely a torture for Rachel.

“Rachel, you don’t need to drive later. Would you like some alcohols?” Although Miles hadn’t been

getting along with Rachel for too long, he acted much bolder than other employees in the department

after picking up on her personality. He was not that reserved and dared to play jokes with her.

Rachel shook her head, “I have to prepare for the work for tomorrow later. You two can just enjoy it.”

After finishing the words, she picked up her chopsticks as she couldn’t help enjoying the food. Although

she almost drooled, she remained quite a good table manner on the surface.

Magi said with a smile, “Then Rachel, do enjoy yourself to the full.”

Miles ordered a bottle of red wine and drank it with Magi.

Although Rachel’s movements were elegant, Miles still noticed her as she kept picking up the food

nonstop.

“Rachel, do the dishes here meet your preference?”

As Rachel was concentrated on the dishes, she was startled by the sudden question. She then came to

her own senses, put down the chopsticks, lowered her head to conceal her embarrassment and smiled

awkwardly, “Maybe it’s because the journey was too long and I was hungry. But the food here really

tastes good.

It was inappropriate to use the word ‘good’ to describe the dishes here. Their spicy and sour taste was

really intriguing and she had been missing the flavor for a long time.

Miles curled his lips into a smile and swirled the turntable to turn the meat dishes in front of him to

Rachel, “Do have more dishes. If they are not enough, we can order more.”

‘If they are not enough, we can order more?’

Rachel glanced around with a weird look after hearing the words and her smile immediately became

stiff, “No need to order more. I’m almost full. You two should have more food. Otherwise, there would

be so much leftover.”

She despised herself inwardly at the same time. How could she get dizzy in front of these dishes?

When she was having meals with Miles back then, she only ate light dishes and said that she wanted

to lose weight. Wasn’t it going against her words now? Miles was quite clever and if she continued to

eat the food, he would definitely find out something.

Fearing that they would continue this topic, Rachel produced a napkin to wipe her mouth and stood to

her feet, “You enjoy the food first. I have to go to the restroom.”

Nevertheless, she didn’t know that her subordinates were discussing her after her departure.

Magi smile and said nonchalantly while sending the food into his mouth, “Rachel must have had many

food recently. I feel that she has gained so much weight in recent two months.”

Miles was rendered speechless.

She wanted to chime in and say ‘I share the same point of view with you’, but what he actually uttered This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

was a question as he asked, “Is she very slim in the past?”

Knowing that Miles just joined the company recently, Magi took a sip of the red wine, raised his chin

and said with pride and complacency, “Our Rachel is a famous beauty in our company. She had a good

figure as well as a good look. What’s more, she is the most outstanding one in performance

assessment and she also treats her subordinates quite well.”

He then pretended to be woeful and shook his head as he continued, “It’s really a pity that I joined the

company quite late and she has married.”

Miles patted his shoulder and smirked, “Oh come on. You’re dreaming of being together with her? By

the way, she’s only two or three years older than us and she married at a young age. Have you seen

her husband?”

Magi was stunned. He pondered for two seconds and then shook his head, “Never. I’ve been the

company for two years and have been her assistant for one more year. But I’ve never seen her

husband. Seems like he never comes to the company to find her. She occasionally picked up some

private calls, but judging from her cool attitude, it looked like that the one at the other end of the call

was not her husband…”

“Moreover…” Magi hesitated for several seconds and glanced at the coriander leading towards the

toilet and then shifted his gaze to Miles while whispering, “Moreover, rumors has it in the company that

she has divorced her husband. Rachel is a very outstanding woman, and I don’t know what kind of man

she will take fancy to.”

“Divorced…” A light quickly flashed across Miles’ eyes as he murmured, not knowing to whom.

After the meal, they went back to the hotel together and then went to their own room.

After washing herself, Rachel who was in pajamas sat on the bed cross-legged with a laptop,

concentrating on her work.

After a long while, there suddenly came some knocking sounds from the door.

Rachel was a bit petrified. She got off the bed, walked towards the door and looked out of the door

though the peephole. Seeing that the one outside was Miles, she returned to her bedroom to wear a

cold and then opened the door.

“What’s the matter?”

“Are you free now? I want to ask you about some questions related to the work.”

Rachel noticed that he was holding a laptop in his arms. She nodded with a smile and stepped to one

side, “Come in, please.”

“Take a seat. I will pour a glass of water for you.”

When Rachel came out with two glasses of water, Miles who was sitting on the sofa had started his

laptop.

“What’s the problems?” Rachel sat beside him and landed her gaze on the laptop.

Miles turned the laptop to let her see what was on the screen and pointed at one place, “Look, the data

here are wrong. But I don’t know where the problem is.”

“Okay, let me have a look.” Rachel lowered her head and began to tap the keyboard as she was

checking the data with a serious look.

The room was prevailed by silence again.

Her curvy body was completely covered as she was wearing thick pajamas and an overcoat outside,

but her agile fingers as well as her small, fair face were quite pleasant to eyes.

Miles quickly withdrew his lines of sight without any expressional change on his face and said in a

casual tone, “Rachel, I heard from a colleague that you’ve divorced.”

Rachel, who was tapping the keyboard, suddenly paused. But she quickly returned to her normal self

and blandly replied, “Yes.”

She didn’t care about how others would think of her. Nevertheless, when someone asked her about

this, she would not hide the truth either.

“Why?” Miles blinked and asked in a curious yet innocent tone, “You’re so outstanding and have a good

temper. Is there a man who doesn’t like you?”

Rachel casually replied while tapping the keyboard, “You’re a man too. If you have to choose one from

two women, among which one is outstanding and the other is the one you’re into, which one will you

choose?”

“I…” Miles was rendered wordless.

Rachel just regarded him as a boy who didn’t know emotions and romance. She curled her lips into a

smile and said, “We can never judge emotions objectively. Whether I’m outstanding or not, it has little

influence on a man who is making a choice. So, even a couple divorce, we can’t judge which party is

the wrong one from the surface. We will only understand the reasons behind this after experiencing it

by yourself.”

Miles furrowed his brows as if he was very confused. He then asked in confusion, “Then, do you mean

that he doesn’t like you? Did he cheat on you? If he takes fancy to you and you’re so outstanding, how

will he be willing to have a divorce?”

“…”

Rachel finally shifted her attention from the laptop. She turned her head to look at him and explained in

a helpless state, “He didn’t cheat on me. We felt that it was not that happy for us to be together any

longer and naturally we got a divorce. I would rather end the relationship earlier rather than living

unhappily all my life. Is it very weird? Oh, naïve kid. I think you should try to have a relationship with a

girl to experience what love is.”
