Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 121

“You…!”

Sabrina didn’t expect her to be so stubborn and left with rage.

Just as she left, Miles knocked on the door and entered to pass her some files. He asked with concern, “Did Ms. Torres do anything to you? Her expression doesn’t seem right when she left just now.”

Miles could tell they were in bad terms since the drink incident last time. Alongside with the fact Rachel was pregnant and Sabrina’s previous position in the company, it wasn’t hard to figure out what was going on between these two.

Rachel smiled nonchalantly, “Of course she did, since she couldn’t get what she asks from me.”

“What did she ask for?” Miles got intrigued and leaned in closer for some gossip.

“…”

Rachel was speechless, “Don’t look at me like a gossiping news reporter. You should’ve stopped her to do an interview with her just now.”

Miles smiled, “You just attacked her weak spot. If I go do it again, she’ll probably give me a slap in the face.”

Rachel pouted, “You cunning kid. All right, go do your stuff. I’m okay.”

“Oh, okay.” Miles nodded and turned around. Suddenly he halted and smiled, “Ms. Lewis, come to my gathering tomorrow. Just dress comfortably and be casual. I won’t make you drink alcohol, don’t you worry.”

Rachel stunned, and realized he was concerned about her pregnancy. She smiled gratefully, “I can do anything else except for the alcohol. Don’t make other exceptions for me, or people will be talking.”

It wouldn’t be nice if someone said behind your back that you liked to flatter your boss.

“Yeah, I know.”

……

After work the next day, the gang carpooled to the restaurant with Rachel as one of the drivers.

This was a chance to chill after the past few days of hectic work, so Rachel relaxed herself and enjoyed her time with the gang.

When the gang raised their glasses, she poured herself a glass of juice and said apologetically, “I’ve to go to the hospital later, so I can’t have beer with you guys. But I don’t want to be a bummer. Cheers.”

Miles stood up and said with a smile, “It’s okay, Ms. Lewis. We can always drink again after you’re done with the pregnancy.”

“That’s right. Cheers!”

“Cheers, congratulations to Miles!”

“…”

Laughter and lively atmosphere then filled the room. Rachel drank up a few non-alcohol drinks with them because she didn’t want to ruin the fun. There were a few times Miles wanted to help her with the drinks but Rachel stopped him with her eyes signal.

This kind of action might create misunderstanding in the eyes of some people. She didn’t want to get him in trouble since he was still young in the professional world.

When the dinner was almost finished, Rachel wiped her mouth and smiled, “You guys have fun, I’ll excuse myself to the washroom.”

“Ms. Lewis, did you drink too much juice?” One of the colleagues who was already slightly drunk asked jokingly.
