Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Victor didn't seem to be leaving, though, which surprised her.

Rachel was engrossed in the Bennet Group's most recent quarterly financial report as she sat cross-legged in the living room.

While the situation remained bleak, she had become the largest stakeholder in the Bennet Group, despite everything.

Whatever the case, she had to be aware of the company's financial situation in case the board of directors exploited it against her.

Her iPad memory was clogged with all sorts of statistics and data, which disturbed her.

In addition, she discovered that she was unable to concentrate at all.

Rachel figured out what was causing her anxiety.

Victor was the course of her lack of peace.

The thought of still him being there made her unable to stop herself from looking at the second floor out of the corner of her eye as if she was scared Victor might suddenly emerge from the study at any point.

Rachel squinted as she contemplated this.

"Miss Bennet."

Lukas showed up as usual.

In possession of a pen.

Rachel was using her iPad to write things down.

As Lukas got closer, he could make out "Vic" on her iPad.

While Rachel eagerly waited for Victor to leave, she suddenly sensed someone's presence nearby.

Her muscles tense up subliminally.

In her eyes, there came a heightened sense of alertness.

"Miss Bennet?"

Lukas was astounded for a split second when he saw the icy glance.

Rachel, on the other hand, reverted to her normal demeanor in the blink of an eye.

"Lukas, everything okay?" Relieved, Rachel laid her iPad down and exhaled a deep breath of relief.

She thought it was Victor.

With a smile, Lukas told her, "It's half-past five, Miss Bennet.Do you have any preferences about what to eat for supper tonight? I'll see to it that the chef prepares it as you want."
