Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 84: Come to Catch Me If You Have the Ability

Rachel also declined their invitation to have lunch together and left with Miles and Magi after packing

up her things.

She checked the time and then made an arrangement, “Let’s have lunch first. We’ll visit another

company in the afternoon.

Magi nodded.

Miles furrowed his brows, “Shouldn’t we go back to the hotel to have a rest before paying a visit?”

Rachel fixated her gaze on him, “Are you tired.”

“I’m a man after all so I don’t feel tired. But you’ve kept walking for the whole morning, right?” When he

was speaking, he glanced at Rachel and said with concern, “If you feel uncomfortable, don’t pretend to

be fine. I and Magi can visit the company in the afternoon.”

Although Magi was a bit confused, he stilled nodded in agreement, “Urg… Yep… Yep.”

Rachel glanced at Miles and then looked down at herself following Miles’ gaze. Something flashed

across her mind and she suddenly understood what he meant. She chuckled, “I casually found an

excuse just now. And you were convinced? I was afraid that we would stay there for too long and it

would be inappropriate to decline their invitation to have lunch together if we stay until noon.”

She was casually making an excuse by saying that she was in her period, but Miles actually had taken

it to his heart. This child looked nonchalant on the surface, but sometimes she would be shocked by his

agility and sensibility.

Miles was stunned for a moment and he burst into laughter at the next moment. He was not

embarrassed at all; instead, he said happily, “I learn another trick from Ms. Lewis again. Looks like I’m

still so young that I don’t know how to read other’s expressions and doings.

Magi also figured it out and chimed in, “Not only you, I also didn’t notice it. If we agree to have lunch

with them just now, I’m afraid we will not be able to continue our work in the afternoon.”

Rachel rolled her eyes heavenward and waved her hand, “Stop sucking up to me. Let’s go. Find a

restaurant and have lunch.

“…”

When they were having lunch in a restaurant, Rachel received a phone call from Kenneth.

She didn’t speak. Instead, she told Miles and Magi that she needed to pick up a phone call and then

walked out of the restaurant.

“Are you busy?” The man’s voice was low and hoarse and it sounded as if he had just waked up.

Rachel didn’t make an ironic remark this time. She just replied blandly, “I’m having lunch with them.”

“You won’t come back to the hotel at noon?”

“Yep. No much time is left. I will directly go to the partner company this afternoon.”

The man was muted for a second before continuing, “Rach, you don’t need to work so hard.”

His lethargic murmur and the touches of enticement carried in his low voice made Rachel felt as if she

could sense the temperature of his breathing and her heart thumped wildly.

She wanted to reply: if I don’t work hard, will you support my life. It was actually a typical line in idol

dramas. But reality was reality. Even if he replied ‘I will support your life’, she wouldn’t feel touched.

Instead, she would feel embarrassed and humiliated.

Looking into the dazzling sun in the sky, she said emotionally, “I know my physical condition best and I

care more about my health than everyone does.

Kenneth seemed to be a bit helpless and he replied in a lower voice, “I’m just worrying about the

children. How can you compete with man in terms of physical power? You want to anger me and let me

catch you back?”

Rachel chuckled, feeling feeless, “Then you should worry about them as you like. They’re still in my

belly after all and I of course will take the unborn children with me no matter where I go. Come to catch

me if you have the ability.” She spilled out the words in a slow voice and then hung up the phone with a

smile.

She could imagine his gloomy yet handsome face, and her mood was greatly improved when thinking

of this.

He could find out the hotel where she was living in, but could he find out which company she was going

to visit in the afternoon?

Rachel went back to the restaurant. Miles noticed her smile with a single glance and smiled lightly,

“Rachel, what has happened that you look so happy?”

Rachel restrained herself. She sat down, picked up the chopsticks again and cooked up with a

righteous look, “My friend said I’m beautiful.”

Magi was rendered speechless.

Miles also twitched his mouth, “Your friend… Maybe he/she needs to make an appointment to the

ophthalmology department.”

Rachel was speechless.

…

Rachel was in a good mood during the whole afternoon after dissing Kenneth. Nevertheless, extreme

joy always begot sorrow.

The last company they visited was so hospitable to them and was difficult to decline. They insisted on

treating them the dinner and Rachel, Miles and Magi still failed to decline their invitation after so many

efforts. In the end, they could only agree.

The sky darkened and they went to a big private room of a restaurant.

Although Rachel felt reluctant inwardly, she could just wear a polite smile.

Miles secretly tucked her cloth and asked with a chuckle, “What should we do now? Drinking with these

middle-aged men, we three are bound to be drunk.”

Rachel knitted her brows with a touch of seriousness flashing across her eyes, “Trim the sails. Aren’t

you talkative? Decline the toast as possible. Don’t act fearlessly just because you’re young and have a

healthy body.”

She had encountered many customers that were difficult to cope with, but it was the first time for her to

face such a circumstance since she was pregnant. The customers were all middle-aged men and then

wouldn’t let them leave easily if they didn’t enjoy themselves to the full.

“What about you?” Miles couldn’t help worrying about her.

Rachel forced a relaxed smile and whispered, “I’m the only woman here, will they bully me? We’re their

guests after all. Even if they are brainless to bully me, they have to consider about the benefits of their

company.”

“Ms. Lewis. Please take a seat.”

Someone exclaimed and invited her to seat herself.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Rachel immediately wore a smile. She threw a glance at Miles and walked over to seat herself.

A manger of her partner company obsequiously pulled the chair and said with a smile, “Ms. Lewis, sit

here please.”

Rachel felt disgusted when seeing his smile. But she had to put the interests of the whole above

everything else and therefore she politely sat down.

The man’s smile became even brighter that his eyes were narrowed and he casually pulled the chair

next to Rachel’s. But just as he was about to sit down, Miles lifted his long leg and walked over. His

squeezed in between them and sat down on the chair in a natural manner while smiling politely at the

man, “Mr. Cooper, you’re really polite and hospitable. Please take a seat.”

Seeing that his plan was ruined by Miles, Mr. Cooper’s smile gradually became weird. He took back his

hand and smiled awkwardly while nodding, “You are my guests after all…”

In this way, the one who sat on the left of Rachel was Magi and the one who sat on the right side was

Miles.

Rachel felt warm inside and threw a grateful glance at Miles.
