Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 139

Throughout the morning, Rachel was worried and couldn’t take her work seriously until the lunch break.

After the meal, she went to the PR department as everyone was taking a break.

“Uh? Miss Lewis, do you need something?”

Several PR department employees were gathered around, gossiping. When she walked in, they all fell silent and greeted her with a smile.

Rachel smiled casually and waved her hand, “Continue, don’t care about me. I am just here to check something.”

Several people asked about the injury on her forehead with concern and then continued to chat in a low voice.

She walked to the computer, called someone casually and whispered, “Turn it on for me, I need to check the information of some employees in my department.”

“Okay, give me a minute.”

The female employee turned on the computer with fast fingers and smiled at her, “It’s done.”

“Okay, you can go and continue talking. I can handle this myself.” Rachel smiled at her and sat in her seat.”

She randomly flipped through for a bit and when she had walked away, Rachel opened the search bar and typed in Miles Hughes. She hesitated for a second before pressing the Enter key.

The page jumped to a file in an instant. The picture showed a young man with a handsome face, smiling slightly.

She quickly shifted her gaze to the form, expressionless and focused, scrolling down with the mouse to gradually pull down the page.

South California University; it turned out that Miles had graduated from South California University.

His entire file was very long, with a lot of credits. He was excellent in almost every aspect.

The more she looked down, the more shocked she was. After reading through it, she quickly pulled the page back to the top and looked at the family column.

The space for father was left empty, and the mother’s column contained only a few words.

Turned out that he was using his mother’s last name.

Turning off the computer, Rachel left the PR department. She did not recover from the shock until she got back to her office.

With his excellent CV, he could have even gotten into a company like Dragon Age in City J without worrying too much. Why did he choose such a small company like Vantage to intern at? Also, the internship was not even connected to his major.

His mother…

Rachel’s eyes flickered slightly. Was this related to his mother?

Taking a deep breath, she took a sip of water and calmed her heart. She walked to the window, frowning and looking extremely solemn.

Rachel couldn’t understand why she cared about him so much. She even went over to look at his file. Life was full of ups and downs, and everyone had their own sufferings, just like her own family. Her own father was still in the prison for corruption, why did she have to brood over his mother’s suicide.

Moreover, she still felt that there was something hidden in his gaze when he said those words to her.

However, she didn’t know her mother. So, was it possible that his mother looked a lot like her?

This thought made Rachel feel absurd. It felt too melodramatic! She pressed her eyebrows, smoothing them irritably, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Startled, she looked at the door, straightening her hair with her hands. Regaining her composure, she said faintly, “Come in!”

The door was pushed open and a head poked in, someone looked her with his eyes wide and smiled excitedly, “Rachel, come out quickly.”

“What is it?” Rachel looked inexplicable. She hesitated for a couple of seconds and then walked out.

In the office area between the department, among many people with gossiping expressions, stood a young man in a uniform, holding a huge bouquet of white roses in his arms.

Rachel’s eyes changed. She felt like the scene in front of her was a bit too familiar.

The uniformed guy held the flowers and smiled professionally, “Hello, are you Rachel Lewis?”
