Chapter 80: I’m at Your Door
Miles was still quite curious. “You are so young. I guess you didn’t marry for a long time. How could he
get tired so soon? You are such a reasonable woman. How did you fall in love with such a man?”
Rachel twitched the corners of her lips and didn’t answer.
She thought that Miles didn’t understand because he didn’t know the whole story, so she didn’t exin
much.
Perhaps Miles didn’t know, in the new century, not everyone could love and get marry freely. Keh
was forced to marry her, so he hated her and never liked her from the beginning.
Seeing that Rachel kept silent, Miles seemed to realize that he had brought up her sad memories. He
smiled apologetically. “I’m sorry, Rachel. I shouldn’t have mentioned such matters. But I believe you
would find someone better.”
Rachel looked at him with a smile. She turned theptop to him and said in a light tone, “All right. I’ve
resolved it for you. Take a look.”
“Oh?” Miles’ attention was drawn back to work. He looked through the data carefully and nodded. “It
matches now. Sure enough, I still have a lot to learn.”
“Please take your time. Compared with other neers, your achievements are about the same as
those of the employees who have worked for a year already,” Rachel encouraged him.
As soon as she finished her words, her cell phone rang.
Startled for a while, she stood up and grabbed the phone from the nightstand. “Please look through the
data again to see if there’s any problem. Excuse me, I need to answer the call.”
“OK. I will.”
The hotel room was not big. Wrapping herself tightly in the coat, Rachel picked up the phone and sat
down on the bedside. Seeing it was an unfamiliar number on the screen, she swiped to answer.
“Hello?”
“It’s me.”
She heard a man’s deep and pleasant voice.
Rachel was taken aback. She put down the phone and checked the number carefully. Then she said in
a low voice, “Where are you calling from?”
“Thendline in my office.”
“I see.” Rachel curled her lips.
Seemingly he was not happy with her tone, the man suddenly asked, “Don’t you have anything to say
to me?”
Rachel’s expression slightly changed. She raised her head and pretended to be confused. “What are
you talking about? Didn’t you call me yesterday?
Upon hearing it, Miles, who was sitting only a step away and checking the data, looked up and nced
at her. Then he looked down immediately.
“I was on the phone with Mr. Lopez today. He said you came to City J. Why didn’t you tell me
yesterday?”
The man’s tone was calm and he didn’t sound questioning. However, Rachel sensed a hint of
displeasure in his words.
Feeling a sense of guilt and a little unhappy, she blurted out, “Why did you bother Mr. Lopez? Should I
report to you where I go on my business trips one by one?”
Seemingly she had reacted too fiercely, and Miles was shocked. He looked up at her in surprise.
“Rachel?”
Rachel was stunned. Only then did she remember that there was another person in her room. She
hung up the phone awkwardly, stood up, and looked at him. “Is there any other problem with the data?”
“Well... Nope.” Miles closed theptop and held it in his arms. He stood up with a smile. “Thank you so

much, Rachel. Please go to bed early. I’m going back.”
“Oh... OK.”
Rachel nodded with an easy-going smile. As soon as she closed the door, however, she pulled a long
face. ring at her cell phone, she cursed, “Bastard!”
At the same time, the cell phone was quite cooperative -- it rang again.
Rachel answered it immediately in a fierce tone, “What now?”
“Are you in a hotel room?”
“Yes. So what? What else do you want?” she still snapped in anger.
He almost embarrassed her in front of her coworker just now.
“It’s sote now, but do you still have... a man in your room?” Keh’s tone slightly changed.
Rachel was speechless.
She was in a daze for a while, and suddenly sheughed. Raising her eyebrows, she asked, “Is it
strange? I’m now single and divorced. It is not strange that I’m with a man, is it?”
She thought he would mock her, but unexpectedly, there was silence on the other end of the line for a
few seconds. Then the man’s deep and cold voice came to her ear. “Where are you now?” he asked.
Rachel’s expression changed a bit. With a soft snort, she said, “Even if youe here to catch the
adultery now, it’s toote. Moreover, you don’t seem to have that right now.”
He wanted to care about her business, but he had forgotten his current identity. Rachel wondered if he
was driven by his habit formed in the past, or he did care about her.
“Rachel!” The man’s voice was now obviously full of unhappiness.
“You should be still in the office, right? Keep on working. I won’t disturb you now. Bye.”
Finishing her words, she hung up the phone without waiting for his response. She became
expressionless.
At midnight, when she was still sleeping, Rachel was woken up by the vibration of her phone. Still
spacing out, she reached out from the quilt and fumbled for her cell phone. Since she was way too
sleepy, she fell asleep again before reaching her phone.
The vibration stopped for a few seconds and it started again.
It happened repeatedly for several times. Rachel was irritated and she sobered up. Reaching out, she
switched on themp and got her cell phone in her hand. Inwardly, she kept cursing the jerk who
disturbed her sleep at such time.
When she saw the familiar number on the screen, her face was darkened.
After the call was connected, she snapped, “Keh Shaw, don’t you know I’m sleeping? Why are you
so annoying?”
The man’s low voice answered her, “I’m at your door. Open the door.”
Rachel gaped.
With her widened eyes, she was startled.
He said he was at her door.
When she came back to her senses, she got up from the bed. Without wearing the slippers, she rushed
to the door.
Her series of rapid movements made her short of breath. Pursing her lips, she calmed herself down
before opening the door unhurriedly.
At that moment, Rachel felt quite strange as if she was still in a dream. She kept wondering if he was
indeed behind the door.
Under the bright light in the corridor, the man’s tall figure was right in front of her. He wore a neat
business suit, looking as handsome and calm as usual.
Rachel’s pupils slightly shrank, and she was in a daze for a few seconds.
Keh looked down at her. He caught a glimpse of her fair and tender feet on the floor. Instantly he
said with a frown, “Where are your slippers?”
Rachel was brought back to her senses by his question. The next moment, she was about to close the
door.
She kept asking herself inwardly why she had opened the door just now.
Certainly, the man wouldn’t let her shut him out. As if he had expected her reaction, he pushed the door
and walked straight into her room. He also helped her close the door behind.
Rachel was irritated. “Keh Shawn, you!”
“The floor is cold. Let me carry you to the bed.” As he spoke, the man lifted her and carried her in his
arms, walking towards the king-sized bed.
Rachel was speechless.
His words sounded extremely... ambiguous.
As soon as she was on the bed, Rachel pushed him instantly and moved back. ring at him with an
alert, she asked, “How did you know I’m here?”
“It’s not difficult to ask my men to do some investigation,” Keh looked at her and answered in a t
tone, unbuttoning the buttons on his suit jacket.
Rachel subconsciously bit her lower lip. She snorted with a self-mockery. “Indeed. It’s just a piece of
cake for you.”
Suddenly she changed her attitude and said in anger, “You intruded my room in the mid of night. Even
if the hotel security couldn’t do anything, will the police just stand by? Leave now, or wait for the police
toe!”
She kept ming herself inwardly for opening the door for him.
