My Mute Bride

Chapter 67 Are These Your Professional Qualities?

While Rachel was in the midst of her conversation with Hans, she felt her phone vibrating in her pocket.

Upon reading the message that she had received, she looked stunned.

“What’s wrong?”

Nothing. It’s just a spam message. Don’t you still need to provide legal aid? Go on with it, then.

Hans took a look at his watch. “Aright. We shall leave it at that for now. I’ll talk to Janice if you want to continue with your plan so that she can get someone in the system to help you out.”

After he left, she unlocked her phone again and frowned as she stared at the text.

It was a message from Justin.

‘Don’t go anywhere after work. I’ll come and pick you up.’

If it weren’t for his saved caller ID, Rachel would have had a hard time believing that this was something Justin would say.

‘I have a meeting at noon, which means I’ll get off later than usual today. So, I don’t want to bother you.’

Still, she didn’t receive any reply after sending him that text.

As Rachel was still busy with her work, she didn’t think much about it and kept her phone in her pocket.

At noon, Sandy, the library’s director, went to Rachel’s department to get a few helping hands.

“We do not have enough manpower, so I’ll need one person from your department to help attend to the guests during the meeting for these two days.”

Upon hearing that, everyone in the office looked down. It seemed like none of them wanted to do something that wasn’t beneficial to them.

Why would someone want to attend to guests when they could just stay at the back and scroll their phone?

“Rachel should be the one.” Suddenly, an ill-intentioned voice rang out from the corner.

A stunned Rachel looked up from her laptop.

“We are all super tired from rearranging the archives, but Rachel took a two month holiday and probably had rested well, so I think that it would be fair to get her to do it. Don’t you think so as well, Rachel?”
