Have I Told You Lately

Chapter 121 A Hidden Rich Kid



Chapter 121 A Hidden Rich Kid

“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.

Rachel raised her eyebrows and joked back, “Yeah, but probably not as much as you. Go easy with it

or your wife will be at your back later.”

“Hahaha…” Everyone laughed.

When Rachel left the room, Miles followed her and asked with concern, “Ms. Lewis, are you all right?” NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.

Rachel stunned and blinked, “Of course, what could’ve gone wrong? All I did tonight was sitting there

drinking and eating.”

“But…” Taking a look at the surroundings, she changed the subject and smiled indifferently, “That was

very generous of you. Even though you’re new in the company and it’s reasonable to treat your

colleagues to a meal, but this is a bit too luxurious. You can actually be more casual since they are not

the stingy type of people.”

Miles smiled while scratching his head, “I didn’t think too much about it and just want everyone to have

a good time. I think this is what I should do since you guys took good care of me at work.”

Looking around with her arms crossing in front of her chest, Rachel said helplessly, “Starred hotel,

premium suite, best wine in the house… this is the kind of treat we usually get from the directors… your

salary is probably not enough to pay for one of those dishes. There’s probably karaoke room up there,

are you going to bring them up there to have fun later?”

Miles widened his eyes, “How do you know?”

The smile on Rachel’s face disappeared. She sized Miles up expressionlessly and gave him a wry

smile, “Are you… a hidden rich kid in our company?”

He looked the part, but didn’t carry the temperament of one. Even though this was the first time she

saw him spending so generously, he didn’t seem to be an intern who struggled with money. She was

aloof with it since she had seen one too many rich kids. But it would still feel strange if Miles turned out

to be one of them.

Miles didn’t expect her to guess it that way and stunned. He curled up his lips and gave her back a wry

smile, “So you see such noble temperament in me, huh.”

Rachel lifted her brows, “All the rich kids I know are some good-for-nothing big babies. But you spend

money in a very different level from how much you earn, so it’s indeed suspicious.”

“…”

Dispirited, Miles sighed and leaned in to whisper into Rachel’s ear, “I actually borrow these money from

my friends and have to buckle up my stomach for the next two months. I only tell you about this, Ms.

Lewis. Please save me some face.”

Rachel’s expression turned serious and looked at him, “What about I pay for these? Just take it as my

treat for you guys.”

Even though she was more up tight than any one of them, these few tens of thousands wouldn’t make

a difference to the situation she was in.

“Please don’t.” Miles waved his hands and then facepalmed himself, saying helplessly, “I just asked

you to face me some face and you’re doing this to me. I’m still young, it’ll be easy for me to earn

money. Moreover, I’ll have more drive to work if I’m in debt.”

Rachel’s face froze in awkwardness and twitched the corner of her lips, “Oh, I’m sorry… it’s okay if you

don’t need it. I was just trying to be courteous there. All right, off you go. I need to use the washroom.”

So it was true after all that you cannot offend a young man’s pride. That was awkward.

With that said, she waved her hand and left.

Coming out from the washroom, the phone in her bag suddenly rang when she was washing her hand

at the basin.

Slightly stunned, she wiped her hands with a piece of toilet paper, threw it into the dustbin, and took out

the phone while walking out of the washroom.

“Hello.”

“Are you in the hospital?”

“I’ll go there later. I’m having a gathering with my colleagues.” Rachel explained. Her low voice

sounded soothing in the silent corridor.

“Try to stay away from those rackety places. Just find an excuse to leave early. You need time to travel

back to the apartment after the hospital check up. You don’t have much time to rest.” The man’s low

and calm voice sounded from the other end of the phone. It seemed he was in a very quiet room.

Rachel didn’t refute and just answered obediently while pouting. Then she added, “Are you… still in the

office?”
