Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 49

Kenneth’s expression got even colder and anger crawled up onto his face at the same time. He pulled Sabrina off of himself without mercy, opened the door, and pushed her out.

He closed the door hard.

“Kenneth…Kenneth…” Sabrina kept knocking the door.

Kenneth got even soberer after what happened. He ignored Sabrina then walked into the bathroom as he took off his clothes.

Half an hour later, Kenneth walked out of the bathroom with only a towel around his waist. The alcohols were still affecting him. He simply wiped his hair dry then walked to the living room and made a call with his mobile phone.

It was pretty quiet at the door.

The call was connected instantly.

Before the person on the other end of the phone could speak, Kenneth started the conversation with a cold tone, “Geoffrey, am I being too nice to you? You sold me out like this?”

Even though he was usually calm and steady but what happened was way over his limit. He was furious and anger penetrated through his words.

Geoffrey wasn’t surprised by this call. He laughed and said, “Well, this is not what I would be proud of but don’t you think it is a good idea? You would definitely reject strangers but you have known Sabrina for so long. If you didn’t feel anything about her, the reason is pretty obvious, don’t you think? I will really doubt if your IQs had decreased over these years if you tell me you didn’t know what’s happening to yourself now.”

“Stop being a busybody.” Kenneth was enraged.

“Hey, I was just trying to help. You’re too slow in realizing your true feelings. How was that being busybody? She would have been remarried if I let you run your course.”

Kenneth smirked, “When did you learn to become a busybody like your mother?”

“My mother won’t bother what happened to you. I see you as my brother, that’s why I interfered. Fine. If you want to keep playing cool, go ahead. I have done whatever I can to help. You will have totally no chance at all once Osmond wins her heart.”

Geoffrey ended the call after insulting Kenneth and didn’t give him any chance to further explain himself.

Kenneth glared at his phone and his expression turned sullen as if he wanted to kill someone.

…

Although Geoffrey sounded fearless in the phone call, he didn’t dare to face Kenneth. He booked his ticket and flew back to J City the next morning.

Before Kenneth went to his office, he got a call from his mother asking him to go home.

Once he arrived home, Krista immediately scolded him, “Kenneth, you have gone too far last night. Now, go to the Torres Villa with me and apologize to Sabrina.”

He casted a gloomy look after hearing what Auntie said, “Mother, have you ask her about what she did last night?”

Krista frowned, “Of course I know what she did. I asked her to do it. Put the blame on me. Why are you being so tough on her? Her father told me that Sabrina cried the whole night after she went back home from your place. He almost wanted to come over and get even with you.”

“You ask her to do what she did?” Kenneth continued casting a black look to his mother and he didn’t believe a single word she said, “An unmarried woman shamelessly crawled up onto a man’s bed, is that what you taught her?”

Krista was startled. She diffidently justified, “Sabrina had been waiting for you for so long and now that you had divorced, why won’t you give her a chance? She is perfect in everything and she loves you. You have nothing to lose if I ask her to be my daughter-in-law, isn’t it?”

“I will not give anyone any chances. Stop poking your nose into my business.” Kenneth turned around and wanted to leave.

Auntie’s expression turned and she stopped Kenneth, “What are you saying? Don’t tell me you are still thinking about that woman.”

She became brutal and harsh, “I won’t say much if you are still married to her. Now that you have already divorced her, I want you to cut ties with her. I won’t allow you to have anything to do with her anymore! I will not let her enter into this house again!”

Auntie didn’t want the family to have anything to do with the daughter of a judge who had committed corruption.

Kenneth was seethed but he remained polite to his mother, “I could take care of my own business and you should stop poking into Sabrina’s business as well. I need to run now.”

He then left the house without looking back before Krista could say anything at all. She was enraged by Kenneth’s attitude. Suddenly, what Sabrina said before came across her mind. She coldly stared at the direction where Kenneth left.

While Kenneth was on his way to the office, he ordered the Human Resource Department to send a Letter of Dismissal to Sabrina through email.

A few minutes later, Sabrina called.

He ignored the call.

The buzzing stopped after a few attempts.

Half an hour later, Auntie called.

Kenneth knew what’s coming but he picked up the phone anyway.

“Kenneth, why did you dismiss Sabrina? What do you think you are doing?”

“Stay out of company affairs. I have my own judgment.”

“No, I will not allow this. Sabrina didn’t violate company rules and regulations and she didn’t disclose any confidential information of the company. All she did was only confessing her feelings to you. This is jobbery!”

“She should have known the consequences before she did what she did. Why should I keep those who create troubles for me?” Kenneth answered emotionlessly.

“You!”

Krista was almost speechless. “You knew how she feels about you all the while. Furthermore, she had been helping you by your side for so many years and she must have done some good for the company. Now you dismiss her for such a minor affair, how do you expect me to explain to her father?”

“I will explain it to him personally. Mother, I got to go. I’m driving.”

“Ken…”

Holding the steering wheel, Kenneth drove steadily. Everything about Sabrina had been left behind. All Kenneth thought about was what Geoffrey said last night.

The car was parked in the basement. Kenneth sat in the car, deep in thought. After a while, he decided to dial out that set of familiar numbers.

The phone call was hung up almost immediately.

Kenneth seethed. He redialled the numbers.

This time, it went straight to the voicemail, “The number you call is unavailable…”

Obviously, he was blocked.

Kenneth felt uneasy. His lips closed tightly as he worried about his conjecture.

Was she really mad this time?

Meanwhile, after blocking the number, Rachel turned off her phone and continued with her meeting.

“Rachel, you don’t look good today. Did you rest well?” Magi whispered out of concern.

Rachel pulled herself together and smiled, “I’m okay. I didn’t really sleep well last night. I’ll look better after fixing my makeup later.”

Of course, she didn’t look good. She didn’t sleep at all last night.

“You have to relax and take some quality rest. I’ll make you some coffee later.”
