    “Come in, the door Isn’t locked.”


    Isaac collected the documents and stood aside. Rachael walked Into the office and ced the food on


    the table with a smile. “The cook said that I’ve improved a lot. It should taste… alright.”


    Isaac stood there silently. Matthew nodded and opened up the container then was surprised,


    It was Seared Salmon, Hesper’s favorite food.


    “… What’s wrong?” Rachael leaned in. “The fish is still in one piece. I brought it over right after I made


    it. Do you not like fish? Now that I think about it, I don’t know what you like. Can you tell me the next


    time we dine together?”


    “No.” Matthew looked at her trying to impress him and sighed. After a long pause, he said,” Nothing’s


    wrong, I love fish. You don’t have to try and impress me. We’re siblings… We’ll need to live together.”


    Rachael smiled after she heard him say that. “That’s great. I thought I did something wrong. When the


    cook told me that Hessy is a really good cook, I was thinking that doing this would make me look like a


    copycat.”


    “Alright,” Matthew cut her off. “Don’t overthink. Hesper is my sister and so are you. Everyone has their


    own talent, so there’s no need topare yourself to her.”


    “Sure!” After handing the cutleries to Matthew, Rachael looked happier. “I heard that the Duvals gave


    Hessy an agreement. Can I know who’s running the project?…I’m just curious.”


    Isaac heard and said, “That belongs to Ms. Rivera and not the Duvals. We don’t have the right to do


    anything about it or take it out.”


    “That’s unfortunate; the Duvals are ourpetitor. If we don’t take it, wouldn’t it go to them?” Rachael


    held onto Matthew’s arm. “I don’t think she would mind. Didn’t she hate Rickard Duval when she was


    around? I’m sure she’ll be happy if we manage to snatch a project from him.”


    “Matt…”


    “Ms. Lane, please don’t put Mr. Lane on the spot. We won’t be taking what belonged to Ms. Rivera


    out.”


    Isaac’s voice sounded cold. Rachael didn’t expect him to speak that way so she paused, then bit her lip


    because she felt like she was wronged.


    “I’m sorry… I didn’t know that Hessy was so important to you. It’s my fault for not considering how she


    would feel because I was too focused on the benefits for thepany.”


    Matthew took a deep breath and closed his eyes.


    “Alright, let’s put this aside for now. It’s gettingte, Rachael. I’ll get the driver to-drive you home.”


    Rachael’s eyes turned red. “Do you think that Hesper is better than me? I shouldn’t be Rachael Lane

    but the illegitimate one. It’s all my fault.”


    Matthew frowned. Before he could speak, Rachael raised her hand to wipe her tears away.
