    “There’s no time to exin.” Rachel Grey grabbed his hand. She wanted to send David Jones out the


    door before her grandfather noticed, but it was toote. She could already hear footsteps approaching.


    “We’re finished. We won’t make it in time.” Rachel was feeling very anxious.


    David raised his eyebrows. Mischief shed across his eyes. “It’s only a matter of time before we meet


    anyway.”


    Meanwhile, Rachel panicked so much that she couldn’t hear what he said. She looked around


    frantically and saw her spacious andfortable desk. Then she grabbed David’s arm and quickly


    walked over. She tried to make him go under the desk without saying a word.


    “Try to put up with it in the meantime.”


    David was speechless.


    “Rachel Grey, you’re the first person who dares do this to me.” He held her wrist and stared at her

    “I don’t have a choice either.” Rachel stood on her tiptoes and nted a kiss on his lips. She gave him


    a sweet smile to fawn adoration. “Be good.”


    “Am I that unpresentable?”


    “Should we go on a date tonight?”


    David lowered himself and went under the desk without Rachel even asking when he heard her say


    that.


    At the same time, the door to the office opened.


    Although the Johnson family had been prosperous in every generation, Old Mr. Johnson led the family


    to be the most sessful they had ever been. Even though he had retired and was now behind the


    scenes, legends of him conquering the business world were still circting.


    Old Mr. Johnson entered with his walking stick and looked around. “Linda told me that you have a


    guest?”


    Rachel nced at David subtly. He was currently hiding under the desk with a gloomy expression while


    supporting his chin with his hand. Rachel tantly lied, “He just left.”


    Old Mr. Johnson nodded slightly. “I heard from Adrian that you’re moving out and living by yourself?”


    Thepany has just started a new project. I might need to work overtime regrly, so it’s


    inconvenient to continue staying at home.


    Old Mr. Johnson frowned, his expression solemn. “Rae–Rae, tell Grandpa honestly. Do you have a

    Johnson interrupted her, his voice mellow. “Rae–Rac, Grandpa isn’t against dating, but girls should be


    more reserved. Be vignt about who you choose to date. The world is full of treacherous people.


    Grandpa fears you can’t see through those with ulterior motives. since you’re still young.”


    David was speechless. He felt like he was being called out right now,


    Old Mr. Johnson was very direct with his words.


    David was curious about what Old Mr. Johnson’s reaction would be if he pulled out the engagement


    token.


    Rachel caught a glimpse of David’s displeasure. Worried that David would act


    impulsively, Rachel quietly patted his head. She felt like she wasforting a dog about


    to go on a rampage.


    “Grandpa, it’s normal for someone to pursue someone as outstanding as me.” Rachel stood up and


    walked towards Old Mr. Johnson. She reached out and held his arm. She leaned on his shoulder and


    acted like a spoiled child. “Or do you wish that no one loves. your precious granddaughter?”


    Old Mr. Johnson snorted at Rachel’s self–deprecating words. “Hmph, those who don’t are just blind!”


    He paused for a while and continued, “Rae–Rae, you’re different from your uncles. I’m fine with them


    not returning for the night. I’m not worried even if they don’te home. for half a month. However,


    you’re a girl, so you’ll be at a disadvantage. Therefore, it’s safer to stay at home.”


    Rachel finally understood. It turned out that Old Mr. Johnson was concerned for her safety. He was


    reminding her to be prudent regarding her sexual life.


    She cleared her throat. “Grandpa, I only moved out for work. But I do, in fact, have a boyfriend. I know


    how to take care of myself, though. So you don’t have to worry about me. Rachel was a little


    ufortable.


    “Who is he? How old is he? Where is he from?” Old Mr. Johnson was very curious.


    Rachel saw how nervous Old Mr. Johnson was being and felt that it was not the right time. to announce


    David’s existence.


    Using her peripheral vision, she nced under the desk. “I’ll introduce him to you


    the timees.”


    Hearing this, Old Mr. Johnson’s expression darkened. He looked at Rachel with aplicated look.
