Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 138 She couldn’t Wait to be His Mistress

At work on Monday, Rachel went to the company with a bruise on her forehead. When faced with

everyone’s concern, she candidly said that she fell.

It was indeed a fall. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

But Miles was very scared and ran to her office looking very serious. Staring straight at her, unable to

see any belly, he asked a bit foolishly, “Did you lose it?”

Rachel was a bit dumbfounded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Looking at his young and

handsome face, she said helplessly, “Would I still be standing here today if I had lost it? Don’t say such

ominous words.”

He relaxed visibly. He pulled on his collar and sighed in relief, “You scared me to death! But you are so

strong, your baby is still safe even you injured your forehead.”

Rachel glared at him, “Are you mocking me? Should I have lost my baby to save myself from getting

hurt? You should be thankful that my brain worked quickly.”

Miles blinked his clear eyes and asked curiously, “Yesterday, was Mr. Shawn there too?”

Rachel’s expressions stiffened and she quickly pretended to look down at the document, “I am me, why

are you bringing him up here?”

“Because Mr. Shawn shows up every time you are in danger.” He giggled and winked at her vaguely, “I

am not a naive child. Anyway, you are single now and I saw online, there was no mention of Mr. Shawn

having a girlfriend. Plus, he is still so considerate to you. If you both get together, I will definitely give

my blessing!”

Rachel’s mouth twitched, looking at his face beaming with a smile, she also pulled on a fake smile, “No

girlfriend doesn’t mean no wife. How do you know if he isn’t married?”

“Uh…” Miles was dazed. He rubbed his chin and pondered, “Married? True, he doesn’t seem that

young… but aren’t you very familiar with him? You would know if he is married or not. Looking at him,

he doesn’t look like a person who would have affair with women behind his wife.”

Rachel didn’t say anything.

A vein throbbed in her temple. What did he mean by ‘have affair with women behind his wife’? He said

it as if she couldn’t wait to be his mistress.

Sure enough, people who didn’t know the cause only believed their own eyes, like Miles. Not to

mention those who loved to gossip, if this continued, they were going to spread such things in the

entire company.

She put the documents together and looked at him with a stern face, “I don’t know if he is married or

not. If you want to know, then go ask him. Don’t spread rumors around the company. Also, stop being

so lazy at work. Be careful or I will deduct your salary. Go work!”

Miles was stunned. He quickly hugged the document, “No, don’t deduct my salary, I’ll go!”

When he walked to the door, he suddenly stopped again and looked back, “Rachel, can I ask for a

leave tomorrow?”

Rachel stared at him blankly, “Leave? Why?”

Wasn’t it just Monday today?

The smile on his face faded, “Tomorrow is my mom’s birthday, I want to spend it with her.”

Rachel’s eyes widened, she paused for a moment and then stumbled, “Okay, is one day enough?

Should I approve for one more day…”

As she was talking, her voice became fainter and fainter and her expressions were solemn. She

paused for a couple seconds, walked out, put a hand on his shoulder and said in a low voice, “Sorry…

You must be hurting in your heart. If it is okay with you, you can share it with me. Don’t hold back. If

you feel uncomfortable with me, there are many colleagues outside. You have friends too, right? You

can also…”

Her voice was low but she spoke very fast as her heart continued to get heavier. The feeling of that

night came back in her heart.

“Rachel!” Miles interrupted her suddenly and looked at her deeply with a faint smile on his fair and

beautiful face, “I’ll be fine! I don’t need two days, just one is enough.”

He took her hand off his shoulder, nodded and turned around to leave.

Rachel stayed in her spot, her fingers curled into a fist, her expressions looking grave. Uneasiness

began to ineffably bubble up in her heart.
