Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 22: Ambush In The Underground Parking Lot 

"I hate threatening you, but for three generations my family has worked really hard to make the Bennet Group what it is today.I can’t stand aside and watch it crumble.I have to do something.Please, Shelia.Help me save my family’s legacy."

The light disappeared before Shelia could utter a single word.

A loud knock on the door startled her awake and she blinked in confusion.

"Miss Bennet, dinner is ready,"

Abby’s voice came from the other side of the door.

Rachel sat up and leaned against the headboard.

She frowned and called back, "Thank you, Abby.I’ll be down in a few minutes."

She freshened up real quick and was at the dining room in less than five minutes.

When dinner was served, she just sat there pushing her food around her plate absent mindedly.

Abby and Andy were looking at each other in bewilderment, wondering what was wrong with Rachel Andy couldn’t stand it any longer.

He put down his fork and cleared his throat.

"Miss Bennet."

Rachel came back to her senses frowning slightly.

Still looking a little off, she asked, "What’s the matter?"

"Miss Bennet, you seem a little… preoccupied.You haven’t even touched your food."

Abby was really concerned about Rachel’s behavior too.

"Miss, are you worried about the Bennet Group? Are you afraid of the debt you’ll be in if the company bankrupts?", Rachel shook her head.

"No, it’s not that.I was just thinking."

"If you need anything, I am here for you.If there’s anything I can help with or if you just need someone to talk to…"

Andy trailed off, not knowing what else to say.

"I was just thinking that I need to see Victor,"

Rachel murmured putting down her fork and leaned back on her chair.

Andy and Abby were both stunned.

"Miss Bennet, you… Do you think that’s a good idea right now? Mr.Sullivan doesn’t change his mind easily.He just turned you down today.If you go looking for him again, I’m afraid…"
