NovelEnglishVictor didn’t seem to be leaving, though, which surprised her.
Rachel was engrossed in the BeGroup’s most recent quarterly financial report as she sat cross-legged in the living room.
While the situation remained bleak, she had becthe largest stakeholder in the BeGroup, despite everything.
Whatever the case, she had to be aware of the company’s financial situation in case the board of directors exploited it against her.
Her iPad memory was clogged with all sorts of statistics and data, which disturbed her.
In addition, she discovered that she was unable to concentrate at all.
Rachel figured out what was causing her anxiety.
Victor was the course of her lack of peace.
The thought of still him being there made her unable to stop herself from looking at the second floor out of the corner of her eye as if she was scared Victor might suddenly emerge from the study at any point.
Rachel squinted as she contemplated this.

In possession of a pen.
Rachel was using her iPad to write things down.
As Lukas got closer, he could make out “Vic” on her iPad.
While Rachel eagerly waited for Victor to leave, she suddenly sensed someone’s presence nearby.
Her muscles tense up subliminally.
In her eyes, there ca heightened sense of alertness.
“Miss Bennet?” Lukas was astounded for a split second when he saw the icy glance.
Rachel, on the other hand, reverted to her normal demeanor in the blink of an eye.
“Lukas, everything okay?” Relieved, Rachel laid her iPad down and exhaled a deep breath of relief.
She thought it was Victor.
With a smile, Lukas told her, “It’s half-past five, Miss Bennet.
Do you have any preferences about what to eat for supper tonight? I’1l see to it that the chef prepares it as you want.”
“I’m not a fussy eater, and I’ll eat anything.” Rachel was still reeling from the horror she had experienced earlier.
She sipped her tea from her cup on the table.
She felt considerably more at ease after sipping on the cup of iced tea.
“ALL well, then, I’ll ask the chief to make slight meal,” Lukas remarked, looking down at Rachel’s iPad on the couch.
Lukas was ready to depart when Rachel looked at the study and called out to him.
“Miss Bennet, how can I be of assistance to you?” Lukas inquired.
“Victor…”
“Oh, I see Mr.
Sullivan has plans for the evening.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI don’t think he’ll remain for dinner,” Lukas said right away.
He knew what Rachel was worried about.
“So Victor won’t be around, then?’ Rachel was relieved when she heard what Lukas had to say.
She was supposed to be cheerful, but somehow, she wasn’t.
In her chest, she felt a little suffocated, but she couldn’t put her finger on it.
Rachel’s headache intensified as she ruminated on the subject.
She made the conscious decision to no longer dwell on it.
After three hours, she figured Joey needed to get out of bed, or he would have a hard tsleeping at night.
When she climbed the stairs, she carried her iPad with her to rouse him.
The study and Joey’s room were also adjacent.
Rachel had to pass through the study if she wanted to get there.
When she walked by the study door, she made a subconscious effort to quiet herself.
However, nothing probably ever went as planned for her.
Her path to Joey’s room was abruptly cut short when the study door was unlocked from the inside.
