Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 497: Injured (Part Six) 

Carson glanced at the caller ID before answering the call.

As the person over the phone spoke, the look on Carson’s face became more serious.

Moments later, he replied, "I sec."

Then, he disconnected from the call, turned his attention to Victor and said.

"It seems that our enemy feels that we’re progressing too slowly, and he’s growing more impatient every passing day."

Victor’s face turned grim. He looked back at Carson, pursed his lips, but said nothing Moments after Carson disconnected from the earlier call, his smartphone buzzed again.He looked down and found that a message had been sent to him.

The words, Sullivan Group, were particularly eye-catching "Looks like these media companies have long been dissatisfied with the Sullivan Group!"

Carson slid his fingers across the screen, causing the message to disappear right away

"Right after they heard some news about the Sullivan Group, they become riled up and couldn’t wait to report news about it.They are probably afraid they might not be able to find anything bad about the Sullivan Group Carson put his phone in his pocket and let out a sigh.

"People really do enjoy kicking a man when he’s down, huh?"

Thereafter, he sent a message to Ivan, asking him to figure out the media companies who had reported bad news about the Sullivan Group and made it their headlines Ivan had just seen the news at this moment.

Just before he could contact the people in Baltimore to inquire about the situation, he suddenly received a message from Carson.

"Why"

he asked, Carson replied, "I want you to find them, so that we can settle the score with them later on." Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Ivan was stunned by Carson’s message, but he didn’t ask any other questions.

He just asked someone to help him document all of the media companies that had released any bad news about the Sullivan Group.

Once that was done, he went on with his work.

After giving Ivan his orders, Carson felt pleased.

‘Looks like I’m going to be entertained in the near future" he thought in the restaurant Rachel put down her knife and fork.

During the meal, she had introduced the benefits that the Bennet Group could bring to the Tucker if they were to cooperate with her company.

While she was presenting the plan to their potential clients, her voice was flat, yet pleasant to hear.

Kyle listened intently to her presentation and would occasionally ask questions.

Rachel was able to answer every question without flaws.

The assistant who was sitting next to them was amazed by Rachel as she listened in on their conversation.

She now saw Rachel in a new light.

During this period of time, Rachel had been taking care of Joey, so she rarely had the time to go to the company.

And even if she were in the company, most of the time, she would come and go in a hurry.

Moreover, Rachel went to the company mostly for the welfare house project.

The cooperation plan of the Tucker and Bennet Group was sent to her via email yesterday in urgency.

And because of that, the assistant was worried that Rachel might have difficulties in dealing with the presentation today.

She stayed up all night to make preparations, thinking that it could help Rachel in the event that the latter might not be able to deal with it.

But now, the assistant realized that she was just overthinking.

Rachel did a splendid job.

If the assistant had done the presentation, she might not have been as good as Rachel.

"I’ll review your plan carefully when I get back," Kyle said, "I’m looking forward to the cooperation between Bennet Group and Tucker in the future."

The assistant’s eyes lit up.

‘Is he saying that they’ve reached a consensus to work together?’

"Thank you for putting your trust in the Bennet Group.Mr.Bentley.I believe that we’ll both benefit from this cooperation."

Rachel shook his hand and gave him a smile.

At this point, Kyle stood up and said, "My colleagues are planning to host a welcome party for me tonight.I wonder if you’ll give me the honor of gracing me with your presence at the party."

"Sounds like a plan, Mi.Bennet! It’ll be my pleasure."

Since they had already reached an agreement, there was no reason for Rachel to refuse his invitation "I'll ask my assistant to pick you up on the scheduled time."

Rachel nodded in agreement Moments later, Kyle’s phone rang.He glanced at the caller ID, and bade Rachel farewell before leaving.

Meanwhile, Rachel remained in her seat, taking a sip of coffee As the assistant watched Kyle leave the room, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Miss Bennet, you’re incredible!" she exclaimed

"Huh?"

Rachel responded.

"I wasn’t expecting that the negotiation with the Tucker Group to go so smoothly," the assistant explained.

"Because of this project, we’ve gained even more confidence.I’m sorry for ever doubting that you wouldn’t be able to handle the presentation, Miss Bennet.I’m ashamed of myself."

"Are you hungry?" asked Rachel

The assistant was feeling guilty earlier, but now she was confused by the question.

Rachel tapped a fork on the bowl of soup and said, "If you don’t have some right away, it’s getting cold.It won’t taste as good if it’s cold."

"Miss Bennet…"

The assistant had been worried that Kyle might deliberately ask difficult questions about the project.She was afraid that Rachel might not be able to answer them, and she hadn’t eaten anything.

Needless to say, she was pleasantly surprised that Rachel noticed this.She was really touched by her gesture.

Just then, the assistant’s phone rang.She was surprised by the news that popped up on her phone.

"The project of the Sullivan Group in Baltimore went wrong again.The purchasing manager committed suicide by jumping off a building, and the director of the branch company has been taken by the police for further investigation."
