Chapter 37: Guilty
After a while, Mr. Johnson called her through the internal line. Rachel stared at Monica, who was quiet
on the sofa, moved over, and squatted down. She asked softly, “I’m going. Do you want to stay here or
go out with me?”
Monica blinked, crawled off the sofa, and tugged at her shirt.
Rachel chortled and stroked her head. “Okay, let’s go.”
Holding her small hand, Rachel went to the CEO’s office. Mr. Johnson looked at her curiously, “What’s
this?”
“Sorry. Mr. Johnson, she’s a child of my friend…” Rachel exined it again.
Mr. Johnson nodded and let her sit down. “The branch of Dragon Age has basically set up. It’ll put into
operation soon. Besides, the representatives wille to visit in a while. You’re the host.”
Rachel was taken aback. So soon?
She paused for a moment and then asked indifferently, “Do you know who they are?”
Shouldn’t the CEOe to visit in person for a branch?
Mr. Johnson chuckled. “Probably they’re some department managers. That’s why I let you go. If it’s a
big figure, I’ll greet him personally. It’s not a big deal. Just invite them for lunch.”
Lunch?
So it was a social meal. It would be fine if there were a few people. If not, she must drink. However, a
child was with her.
“Mr. Johnson… You know…” Rachel looked at Monica awkwardly and suggested, “Or… May I let other
staff host a meal?”
Mr. Johnson looked at her and then the quiet girl. He thought for a while and nodded. “Okay. Treat
them well. Don’t slight them.”
“Yes.” Rachel exhaled slightly. Then she asked, smiling, “When will theye?”
Mr. Johnson turned around to look outside and replied calmly, “They may be on the way. It won’t take
long. They’re just on the opposite side.”
“…”
Rachel stiffened, confused. She thought she must have misheard and stared at Mr. Johnson nkly.
“You, you mean they’re… where? On the opposite side?”
She slowly turned around to look at the opposite building, her heart thumping.
Their branch was right opposite to her?
Mr. Johnson didn’t sense her weird behavior. Moreover, he stepped toward the window with a smile
and pointed at the same floor in the opposite building. “What a coincidence! Their branch is on the
same floor as us, right opposite to us. Probably we can see them from here. Unfortunately, I’m
nearsighted.”
Rachel caught his gaze with aplicated look. Her smile didn’t touch her eyes.
Did Keh do it, intentionally or unintentionally?
Last night, he called because of it?
“Anyway, serve them well.” Mr. Johnson waved her away.
“Copy that.” Rachel recovered her calmness and took Monica away.
Back to the office, Rachel stood in front of the window and stared at the opposite building, absent-
minded.
Suddenly, the curtains of the building facing her office were rolled up slowly. A slender silhouette was
Regaining her consciousness, Rachel blinked heavily and bit her lips subconsciously, after making sure
that he wasn’t an illusion.
It was certain that the man did it deliberately now.
Keh stood still in the distance, putting his hands into his pockets in an elegant and domineering
way. His expression was a bit unreadable. But she was sure that he was regarding her, as if he had
already known where her office was.
The more Rachel thought, the more panicked she was. Picking up the phone, she called him without
hesitation.
It rang for a few seconds. She could see clearly from afar that the man took out the phone from his
pocket and ced it to his ear, still facing her direction.
“Hello.” A low, solemn voice came.
“Keh Shawn, what do you mean?” Rachel bellowed.
“What do you mean?”
“You know what I mean. Why did you set up your branch here? Don’t tell me it’s a fucking coincidence.”
Hearing hernguage, Keh frowned but said nonchntly. “It’s not a coincidence, but a wise
choice. Thanks to myst visit to yourpany, I found this ce, nice location, good environment.”
“…”
Rachel chocked and gnashed, “Keh Shawn, what on earth do you want from me? We’re divorced.
Can you stop disturbing my peaceful life?”
There was dead silence for a while. A low, hoarse chortle came. “Since I’m your ex-husband, you think
I do everything with intentions. Rachel, are you too narcissistic or… guilty?”
He emphasized thest word. His hoarse,pelling voice made her heart pounding.

If Keh was here, he must see her terrible expression.
Clenching the phone, Rachel gritted her teeth and kept silent for a while. When she cooled down, she
snapped, “Remember. You said you don’t have any intention.”
Then she hung up the phone before he responded, ring at the opposite side, and then left.
Keh, who was standing by the window opposite, put down his phone and regarded her with dark
and unfathomable eyes.
Meanwhile, there was a knock on the door.
Sabrina walked in. “Ken, your mom called. She let us go back for dinner.”
The man didn’t turn around, replying indifferently, “I have something to do at noon. Tell her, I’ll go back
at night.”
The woman changed her look slightly. “What’s the matter? Do you need my help?”
“No. You can go now.”
“…”
Staring at him, Sabrina had known the answer and felt ufortable suddenly.
The Vantage Inc. was on the opposite. Did he want to see that woman?
She clutched her fists with a glimmer of weirdness in her drooping eyes. Saying nothing, she nodded.
“Then I’m going.”
……
Rachel sat in front of theputer and recalled what happened just now in a state of confusion.
Suddenly, someone dragged her shirt. Startled, Rachel bent her head. Monica rushed over suddenly
and stared at her, as if there was an emergency.
“What’s wrong?” she said gently.
The girl pursed her mouth, frowned, and reached out to take off her trousers with an ufortable
expression.
Observing her behavior, Rachel was confused but reacted quickly. “Do you want to pee?”
She shook her head.
Rachel was stunned. Then she tilted her head and asked, “Poo-poo?”
The girl finally nodded nkly.
Rachel was amused. She carried the girl and darted to the bathroom.
When she was waiting inside, the front desk staff suddenly called Rachel.
“Manager Yvonne, the representatives of Dragon Age are here.”
