Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 18: Pleaded With Victor 

Upon seeing the hesitant look on Andy’s face, Rachel stopped.

With a raised eyebrow, she asked, "What’s the matter? Is there something else you want to say?"

"Miss Bennet, when are you planning to meet with Mr.Sullivan? Once the liquidation procedure officially starts, stopping it will be nigh impossible."

"I see.I’ll talk to him after lunch."

Rachel let out a helpless sigh.

Andy nodded firmly.

"Got it.I’ll drive you there, Miss Bennet."

"That’s not necessary.I can get there by myself."

After saying that, she followed Abby downstairs to have lunch.

During the meal, Rachel finished an entire bowl of rice, but neither Andy nor Abby had any appetite to eat.

Those who weren’t aware of the truth and saw this scene would assume that Andy and Abby were the ones in crippling debt, and Rachel had nothing to do with said debt.

After finishing her meal, Rachel put down her chopsticks and looked at Abby and Andy, noticing that they appeared to be absent-minded.

To get their attention, she cleared her throat.

Startled, Abby put down her chopsticks and stood in attention.

"Miss Bennet, allow me to get you another bowl of soup."

Afterwards, she reached for Rachel’s bowl, but Rachel stopped her and said, "No, it’s okay.I’m full."

"Ah… I see."

Abby withdrew her hand, lowered her gaze, and soon her mind began to wander once more.

"You two…"

After a brief pause, Rachel said, "Are you worried that working for a broke woman like me will put you through so much suffering in the future? Look, you don’t have to worry about my financial burdens.I won’t let either of you help me pay off my debts."

She had always been aloof and indifferent by nature.

Getting an emotional response from her was almost improbable, and she didn’t like to rely on others either.

"Miss Bennet, please don’t drive me away.I’m not afraid of enduring hardships.I can even help you pay off your debt!"

It seemed that what Rachel said really made Abby worry.
