Chapter 203 Fireworks (Part One) 

After the video call with Quintin, Rachel went to bed. By the time she woke up, the ship had already departed from Apliaria. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. “Miss Bennet, are you awake?” the maid asked cautiously from the other side of the door. Rachel got up from bed and opened the door.

The moment she opened the door, she was surprised to see Victor on the sofa reading a document. The maid whispered to her, “Miss Bennet, Mr. Sullivan knew you were asleep, so he didn’t wake you up. He’s been waiting out here for over an hour.”

The way she spoke made it sound like it was a great honor for Rachel that Victor was waiting for her. Rachel shot her a cold glance. ‘An honor? I don’t even want this honor. Anyone can take it for free if they want it,’ she remarked inwardly. “Ivan.” Victor closed the file. “Let them serve the dishes.” “Yes, sir.”

Ivan nodded before he left the room to inform the waiters to serve the dishes. Rachel frowned at Victor, uncertain of what he was trying to do. “Are you going to have lunch here?” she asked. “It’s lunch time, isn’t it? If you don’t want to eat here, we can go to a restaurant,” Victor said, staring into her eyes. Clearly, there was nothing Rachel could do to refuse his offer. After a brief pause, she replied, “Let’s just eat here.”

Victor glanced at the maid and the latter immediately understood what he meant. “Miss Bennet, I’ll go see if there’s anything I can do to help with the food.” Having said that, she left the room. Once more, the room fell into silence. Moments later, Victor said, “I was told that there will be a fireworks display at half past eight on the ship tonight.” Rachel was stunned for a moment. “Huh?” she asked, looking at him in confusion.

“If you’re bored staying in the room, we can go to the deck and watch the fireworks display in the evening,” Victor replied after a brief silence. “Sure,” Rachel replied indifferently. Her response disappointed him and put a frown on his face.
