Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 83: Do You Like Him?

Just as she produced her room card and was about to open the door, there suddenly came a clicking

sound from the door of the room opposite as the door was suddenly opened.

Miles, who was stood at the door, was stunned when he saw them two.

The air was prevailed by a weird silence at the moment. Rachel was also caught off guard and couldn’t

react quickly.

“Ra… Rachel, who’s him?” Miles hadn’t seen Kenneth before. He just felt quite familiar with this man,

but he wasn’t sure about it.

Kenneth remained composed and cold. He glanced over Miles and guessed that he must be the man

who spoke in the phone call back then. So he thoughtfully made an explanation for Rachel, “Her

friend.”

Rachel came to her own senses at the next moment and stammered, “Urm… Yep. F… Friend.”

Miles smiled and praised without reserve, “Rachel, your friends are so handsome. Hello, my name is

Miles Hughes. And I’m an employee of Rachel’s department.”

Rachel had been accustomed to his personality of getting familiar with others quickly and naturally and

therefore she didn’t care much about his words. Nevertheless, fearing that Kenneth would say

something that shouldn’t be spilled out, she interrupted him in a hurry, “Is Magi still sleeping?”

“Oh, he woke up early in the morning. And he has already gone out to have breakfast.” Miles looked

around Rachel and Kenneth before asking, “Rachel, have you eaten? Do you need me to buy breakfast

for you?”

Rachel quickly waved her hands with a smile, “No need. We just came back and we have had

breakfast. Hurry up to enjoy your breakfast. I have some work to designate to you later.”

“Then does this mister have any….”

“He doesn’t have any matters to attend to and he’ll leave soon.” Fearing that Kenneth would cut in,

Rachel hurriedly answered the question and urged Miles, “Hurry back.”

It was really awkward to bump into Miles. That boy was so clever and he definitely would guess

something if he knew Kenneth’s name.

“Oh, alright. I’m going.” Miles shifted his gaze and then nodded at Kenneth.

The two men were about the same height, but no matter in terms of appearances or auras, Kenneth

was more eye-catching. Miles was by no means a match for Kenneth who was exuding an aura of elite.

Miles was young and vigorous, while Kenneth was composed and reliable. Miles was not sacred or

oppressed by Kenneth’s aura and his reaction in the face of Kenneth was quite different from that of

Johnson Lopez.

Rachel couldn’t help but steal several glances at his leaving back. Was he a born leader?

She actually had a sharp eyes for discovering able people/

Naturally, Kenneth noticed the praise and complacency in her eyes. His eyes became gloomy and he

asked casually, “Do you like him?”

Not landing her gaze on him, she nodded subconsciously, “Yep. He’s a capable talent.”

But at the next moment, she quickly became gloomy as if she had recalled of something and turned

around to glare at him, “Does it have anything to do with you? Aren’t you going to have a rest? Hurry

up to fuck off. Don’t let me see you any longer.”

She then opened the door and walked into the room. Without even sparing a glance at him, she

slammed closed the door isolating him out of the room.

…

Kenneth didn’t come to pester him thereafter. Having no idea about whether he was going to have a

rest or attending to other matters, Rachel focused her attention on her work again as she was

disinclined to care about the matters related to him.

She made a schedule about the companies that she should pay a visit to in the morning and then went

out with Magi and Miles.

As a network technology company, Vantage Inc. was quite famous in the industry with a range from the Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

development of applications and webpages to the R&D of systems. The major task of her business trip

was to collect and sort out the feedback data as well as some bugs of the product.

The first company they went to was engaged in the research and development of medical apparatus

and instruments.

Rachel got off the car and glanced at the building in front of her while referring to the GPS in her mobile

phone, saying, “It’s located at here, right?”

Miles chuckled and pointed at the letters above the door, “If the letters were right, it’s there.”

Embarrassed, Rachel coughed lightly, “Then it’s the right place. Let’s go in and ask them.”

She had hired a driver. But the driver did not know how to get to the company, so she could only rely on

the GPS. Having only a hazy notion, she instructed the driver and they made a detour. Miles and Magi

had been laughing at her because of this all along the way.

They then collected all data under the guidance of the staff during the morning. When everything was

settled, the staff hospitably invited them to have a look on their newly-developed product.

The society was advancing and intelligible medicine was gradually developed, which greatly expanded

the business scope of Rachel’s company. Although Rachel had little knowledge in this field, she didn’t

decline the staff’s kindness.

They walked into the working shop and a staff specially came to introduce the product to them.

Miles suddenly asked out of curiosity, “Are these all finished product? May I have a try?”

The staff nodded with a smile, “Of course. All these products have been tested and they will be used in

various hospitals soon. Do you want to have a try? All researchers in our company have studied

medicine.”

Miles glanced around, rubbed his chin with curiosity and then suddenly pushed Magi who was standing

behind him while blinking, “Magi, try the nuclear magnetic resonance.”

Magi was a bit stunned, “Why don’t you try?”

Miles grinned and made an inviting posture, “Senior first.”

Magi shot a glance at him feeling speechless and then walked into the

Rachel saw how they operated the instrument through the glass wall. She leaned towards Miles,

lowered her head and asked in whisper, “What are you doing? Have Magi offended you?”

Miles raised his brow and curled his lips, “He snored the whole night yesterday. And I didn’t have a

good sleep.”

“…”

Rachel twitched her mouth and whispered, “Seems like I also have made a mistake. I shouldn’t have

booked only a room for you two.”

Miles quickly changed his expressions and smiled apologetically, “I was joking. They said the

instrument has no problem. Just regard it as a free medical examination. I was just worrying about

Magi’s health condition.”

Rachel looked sideways at him, twitched her mouth but didn’t say anything.

She didn’t believe that he would be so kind-hearted.

He was the most cunning person in the department after all.

Her gaze suddenly became weird as she looked up and down at Miles and then took a step backward

“Could… Could it be that you have some physical problems?”

Miles’ face darkened and he felt speechless.

What did she mean by taking a step backward?

With her arms around her chest, she landed her gaze on the instrument in front of her and chuckled in

a low voice, “You’re so energetic. And I’m afraid that you even won’t be starved to death even if you

haven’t had food for several days.

Miles beat his chest and stamped his feet, pretending to be sorrowful, “Rachel… Don’t bully me.”

Magi walked out of the compartment after a while. The result will come out later. Rachel patted Miles’

shoulder and said, “As a leader, I can’t be biased. It’s your turn now.”

Miles’ smile stiffened, “I… no need.”

Rachel tilted her head and said in a doubtful tone, “Could it be that… you really have some physical

problems?”

“I’ll try.” Miles knitted his brows and forced a fake smile.

Watching Miles walking into the compartment like he was walking towards death, Rachel shook her

head in amusement.

Naturally it was her turn to have a try when Miles walked out of the compartment as she was their

supervisor after all and the staff hospitably invited her to have a try.

As the instrument was radioactive and pregnant women were forbidden to get close to it, Rachel

naturally wouldn’t have a try just to experience novel things.

She had prepared an excuse inwardly before. Now she declined with a smile, “They have tried it. And I

think I don’t need to do so. Moreover, I’m in my period so it may be inconvenient. Thank you.”

The staff could only give up.
