Captivation: Want Nothing But You

There was a bright smile plastered on her face, but her eyes were devoid of emotion.

Upon sensing the insincerity of her smile and noticing the way she was fawning over him.

Victor felt annoyed again.He frowned and let go of her.

Without waiting for her response, he turned around and walked into the hall.Rachel was stunned.

'This man must've been an obscure book in his former life.Otherwise, it wouldn't be so difficult to understand him.His mood swings are so volatile! I really can't read him.' Rachel took a deep breath, took a step forward, and held his arm as they entered the hall together.

"Mr.Sullivan, if you really want to send me to someone else's bed, I bet you already figured out a way to do it.Even if I manage to escape this time, I'm sure I won't be able to do it every time." Rachel lowered her voice to the point that only the two of them could hear her.

"As long as you can bear the consequences, it wouldn't matter if I'm afraid or not.Maybe when I meet this man, we'll hit it off! He is wealthy, isn't he? Marrying and living with him somewhere abroad doesn't seem so bad."

Victor was infuriated to hear her say that, and his eyes turned cold.

"You wish."

Seemingly unaffected by his remark, Rachel just smiled and said, "You're right, Mr.Sullivan.Since this is just a wish, I should expect to get something good out of this rather than think about how bad it could be.Isn't that right?"

"I didn't even know you were expecting something to happen," Victor replied sarcastically.

"Of course, I'm expecting something bad to happen."

Suddenly, Rachel looked into his eyes and said, "Sometimes, people expect the worst to happen so that they can mentally prepare for it, and I'm no different than they are."

When Victor looked into her eyes, he didn't know how to react for a moment.

For some reason, he didn't want to listen to her talk anymore.

Perhaps he subconsciously didn't want to know about the bad things she thought could happen.

"Victor."

A deep voice came from behind them, interrupting their conversation.

"Mr.Sullivan, Mr.Schultz is here to greet you," said Ivan.

With narrowed eyes, Victor leaned close to Rachel and warned, "You'd best behave yourself, or else you'll regret it."

"Oh, I can't guarantee that, but I'm not going to cause trouble myself.Besides, I'm your female companion.If I don't defend myself when someone is picking on me, it's only going to disgrace you and the Sullivan Group!"

Rachel grinned as she caught a glimpse of the woman standing next to Mr.Schultz.

It was Alicia, the woman who once pursued Victor.
