Chapter 61: Ulterior Motives


    She thought that she had been clear enough but Ogdenughed and said, “I’ll shoulder any mistakes


    and any credits will go to you. I’ll take it as an experience, after all, I trust in Miss Lewis’s abilities.”


    Mr. Johnson alsoughed and encouraged, “Since Mr. Ogden has already put it that way, Miss Lewis,


    go ahead and agree to it. This is an excellent chance to practice.”


    Rachelughed till she was stiff, she wasining in her heart. She doesn’t want this opportunity.


    After a few months, even if she can lie about her pregnancy, she wouldn’t dare to continue working.


    How would she dare to ept such arge project? But now with the way both of them had said, she


    totally doesn’t have any grounds to reject.


    Ogden and Mr. Johnson don’t know that she was pregnant. But Keh knows. He raised his


    eyebrows and looked towards Ogden and snickered, “Mr. Ogden, I’m impressed with your courage to


    let a small manager y with a big project worthy of hundreds of millions. Aren’t you afraid that you will


    lose your pants? No matter how capable she is, she only had three years of working experience. Even


    if Mr. Johnson was to be responsible for the project, I’m sure he’ll be very careful. Your confidence


    must have some other motives.”


    Those present didn’t expect him to cut in and their attention was on him.


    Ogden raised his eyebrow and smirked, “I heard that Dragon Age had partnered with Vantage and it


    was Miss Lewis who did the work; so Mr. Shawn doesn’t have any motives?”


    Keh continued to eat and said, “It must be Mr. Johnson trying to encourage the new staff. If it were


    me, I wouldn’t use her.”


    Rachel, “…”


    Was this man helping her or ruining her?


    Ogdenughed, “Then it’s must be that Mr. Shawn doesn’t know Miss Lewis well enough. Although she


    is new and only had three years of experience, for her to be able to understand this field so well, Miss


    Lewis must be very hardworking. Then this must be the right time for this opportunity.”


    He said as he looked at Rachel, “Miss Lewis should be too stressed over this. I will have someone


    helping you negotiate and if you face any issues, you can look for them anytime.”


    Keh’s sullen expression shed and he kept his peace, forcing himself not to look at Rachel.


    But now he was almost certain that Ogden has some motives for Rachel.


    Rachel pursed her lips and lowered her head; she understood that with all that was said, she already


    had no right to reject.


    Two secondster, she raised her petite face, smiled, and nodded, “Okay, since Mr. Ogden trusts me


    so much, I will endeavor to do my best. I won’t let you and Mr. Johnson incur any loss.”


    “Okay,e, let me toast you.” Ogden smiled at Mr. Johnson and then raised his ss towards her.


    Rachel looked at the wine ss in front of her and hesitated. Then she took a sip and ced down the


    ss.


    She tapped her ss with Ogden and was about to drink when someone said, “Manager Lewis, aren’t


    you going to the hospital to visit your mother? Don’t tell me you are going to drive under the influence?”


    Rachel was surprised and looked towards Keh and red at him.


    Even if he wanted to help her, he shouldn’t be a killjoy.


    So, she smiled at Ogden and said, “I’m sorry Mr. Ogden, I need to drive to the hospital, I can’t drink


    with you now. Why don’t you drink with Mr. Johnson and Mr. Shawn and I’ll refill your sses.”


    Ogden shook his head and said, “Oh my poor memory, I almost forgot. Mr. Johnson, Mr. Shawn, let’s


    drink.”


    Mr. Johnson lifted his ss politely, “Of course, I came today to drink with both of you. I can’t drink


    much, please don’tugh at me.”


    Keh winked at Rachel, picked up his ss, smirked, and turned to the two, “Mr. Ogden.”


    The three men drank.


    Rachel watched by the side and ate some and then stood up and took from the waiter the wine bottle


    and poured wine for them. She walked to Keh and looked at him before filling his ss full,


    obviously much more than the rest.


    The man winked at her and didn’t speak.


    Ogden saw it andughed, “Looks like Miss Lewis took offense to what Mr. Shawn said. But, I also feel


    that it was unfair to Miss Lewis, and Mr. Shawn needs to finish it.


    Keh was calm and collected, letting the rest feel that they were viewing sentence being carried out.


    He looked at Ogden, pursed his lips and raised his ss, and said deliberately, “Looks like Mr. Ogden


    has some ulterior motives tonight.”


    There was hidden meaning within these words.


    Mr. Johnson looked dazed for a moment and then looked at Rachel and tried to ease the tension,


    “Haha… Mr. Ogden most definitely wasn’t here to drink. My littlepany needs both of your


    guidance. Mr. Ogden’s investment in the city has helped us immensely. This ss is my gratitude to


    you.”


    Mr. Johnson wasn’t dumb; he was older than them by over ten years. After being in the business for so


    long, he has seen all sorts of crises. Mr. Ogden was a tyrant in the capital. What kind of woman hasn’t


    he seen before? But tonight, anyone could see his persistence towards Rachel.


    If he could see it, then absolutely Keh could also see it.


    But he was his superior and he shouldn’t interfere with the private matters of others. Looks like he has


    to go back to secretly check on Rachel’s background.


    Ogden listened and looked towards Keh and ced his wine ss down. His thin lips hooked, “Mr.


    Shawn’s presence tonight shouldn’t be to drink as well.”


    Keh exchanged looks but remained silent.


    If Rachel wasn’t there, he would have given an excuse and left.


    But from Ogden’s words, he must have known his intentions. This caused Keh to be more


    cautious.


    Rachel lowered her head and acted as if she didn’t understand what they meant.


    But she indeed didn’t understand. Although she could feel that they were probing into each other by


    saying those words, she can’t guess what was really on their minds.


    But she doesn’t want to know too much, she only wants to escape from there.


    Not sure how long after, Rachel handed the third empty bottle to the waiter and they stopped drinking


    but weren’t ready to leave.


    The three of them were tipsy but were seasoned businessmen so all wereposed and in control of


    themselves.


    This dinner made Rachel very ufortable. She pretended to look at the time and then tapped Mr.

    Johnson and said softly, “Mr. Johnson, I’m a little worried about my mother. Can I leave to go to the


    hospital?”


    Before Mr. Johnson can reply, Ogdenughed handsomely, “Miss Lewis, go quickly. Send my regards


    to your mother. If the opportunity arises, I’ll visit her at the hospital.”


    After he said, Mr. Johnson nodded, “Go, the secretary wille to send me home.”
