Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 118

Fortunately, their houses were just within the same small district, not directly opposite. Otherwise, Rachel Lewis would really have just moved away from this place.

Rachel heard that the team of movers also belonged to the company owned by Maurice Louis. Once they cleared up the apartment, she pulled him aside and inquired, “Mr. … Mr. Shawn had also returned to City J, wasn’t the task assigned by your boss past the due period already? Today you all had helped me again. Let’s have dinner together later? It’s my treat.”

Kenneth Shawn was the type of person who could not help but feel deeply uncomfortable when he was helped by others. However, paying him back with money might not be agreeable to him.

Maurice was not smiling, he remained friendly and shook his head, “Please don’t, it is just a small matter, we are leaving soon. With regards to the date of completion of my task, I have not received any news from the boss. So … about the dinner, Ms. Lewis, it is unnecessary.”

Rachel could not find the words to reply to him.

What the …?

“N… no, how is it not past the due period? My father’s operation is over, the rest of the administrative work can be left to the lawyer, Mr. Edward, to settle. If any further care outside of the prison is required, just let my father return home, my mother can care for him. We don’t require any further protection.” Then she returned to work.

And where was he going? He could not possibly be watching guard at her door every single day.

“My apologies, Ms. Lewis, I am only carrying out orders. Do not worry, once we finish up, we promise we will not disturb you. Our boss will surely give further notice.”

Maurice glanced at her apologetically, then he continued to direct his team to tidy up.

Rachel was stupefied for two seconds, then she turned to look at the crowd, she became so annoyed that she stood with her arms akimbo.

What a moron.

Forget it, she would rather just call Mr. Shawn herself.

“Captain, we are going back first.”

Once the team had finished clearing up, everyone waved goodbye to Maurice.

“Yes, good job everyone.”

Rachel considered in silence.

Wait, he was even the captain of the security team?

To think that he was ordered to watch guard at her place, why did it feel like a sledgehammer was being used to crack a nut?

The apartment was the normal household type, with three rooms and one lounge. The rent was not that economical, but there was not much she could do about it. An apartment smaller than this would not be sufficient.

Not only was she unable to pay up at the moment, but she was already head over heels in debt. Not forgetting there was still the two hundred thousand owed to Lillian Chou. She even had to borrow the money from someone else. She needed to pay Lilian first.

Using the sticky notes function on her mobile phone, she recorded every loan she had taken. The sum at the bottom was such an astronomical number, she reminded herself to return to work earlier.

“Ms. Lewis, the security cameras at the door and the corridor are installed already.

“Would you like to connect the functions to your mobile phone?” Maurice walked in, with the work tools in his hand.

“Oh, alright.” Rachel passed her mobile phone to him before proceeding outside to check on the installation.

“How much does the security system cost? Let me transfer the amount to you later.”

Maurice was installing the app and setting up the functions on her mobile phone. Upon her inquiry, without lifting his head, he looked up at her with an odd expression, “All these products are made by my company. They cost the same price, the price of me standing here - nothing. If you wish to show your gratitude, then, in future, please help to promote our products.”

Rachel was dumbfounded and after a long while, managed to squeeze out a dull reply, “Oh”.

That was because she was at a loss for words, was their company her benefactor now, or was it, Mr. Kenneth Shawn? Moreover, her company, Vantage Inc., was doing research covering the same type of products. Promoting products from other companies would be undoubtedly very awkward.

At the hospital, Chapman Lewis had woken up after the operation. Although he still had speech difficulties, he was already much clearer in his mind, at least he could recognize Rachel and her mother now.
