Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 60: The Man Who Wanted To Be Rachel's New Companion
A glimmer was visible in Drake's eyes as he watched Alicia storm out of the hall.
When her footsteps faded away, he turned to look at Rachel and said, "Miss Bennet, I'm sorry.I also apologize on my granddaughter's behalf."
"That's okay, Mr.Schultz," Rachel said, casually waving the apology away.
She could tell that he was observing her, but she masked her discomfort well with a casual smile.
"She's not wrong, though—I've done many stupid things before.It's only fitting that people bear the consequences of their actions, so I don't blame her.In fact, I sincerely accept her criticism," she replied.
Drake's eyes widened slightly in surprise.
There was no trace of displeasure on her face.
On the contrary, she seemed genuinely decent, generous, and accepting of criticism.She really seemed unbothered by Alicia's outburst.
This made him doubt the rumors he had heard about her.
"I'm impressed, Miss Bennet.You really are generous.Alicia ought to learn from you," Drake said, scanning her with an unreadable expression.
Then, he looked at Victor and said, "When I heard you had divorced, I planned to ask you what happened.However, I remembered you might be busy with work, so I decided not to disturb you with silly questions.It seems you two are back together and plan to remarry, yes?"
He asked with a dark expression.
"Mr.Schultz, Rachel is just an employee of the Sullivan Group now," Victor replied calmly.
His meaning was quite clear: Rachel was here just for work.
Mr.Schultz had presumed wrong—there was nothing between them.
The darkness in Drake's eyes vanished instantly, and so did his frown.
"I see.Again, I apologize for my Alicia.You know she has a short temper.I blame myself for doting on her too much.It's why she's childish and impolite.I'm sorry she threw a tantrum with no idea of what's truly going on."
It was the second apology he was making on her behalf, but Rachel, who raised her eyebrows, wasn't buying it.
After all, she could see these things for what they were.It seemed Alicia was still in love with Victor.
Drake still desired to marry his granddaughter off to Victor, and anything that appeared to threaten that goal would trigger his ire.
When Victor clarified that Rachel only worked for him, Drake was quite satisfied, so he asked about Victor's wellbeing, changing the topic of conversation.
More guests soon arrived at the hall, and Drake asked Victor to accompany him to welcome these guests.
It was unclear if he was doing this just to show off his favorite student to the guests or because he considered Victor his future grandson-in-law.
When the two men left to greet the guests, Rachel was all alone.
