    Captivation Want Nothing But You Chapter 168 by Adolf Dunne


    “What are you doing?” Ivan coldly asked as he exited the elevator, catching a glimpse of the medicine


    bottle in the woman’s hand. “Mr. Chavez!” The receptionist gasped and took a step back. Ivan quickly


    went to her and snatched the medicine bottle from her grasp. “Where did you get this? Who told you to


    throw it away? Answer me!” Victor had an international video conference earlier. During the meeting, he


    suffered a stomachache. He asked Ivan to bring the medicine he had kept in his office, but it was


    unexpectedly all used up.


    Ivan called Lukas and asked him to bring some medicine. Thetter never showed up, so Ivan decided


    to get the bottle himself. However, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he noticed that the


    receptionist was about to throw away the medicine Victor had usually taken.


    The receptionist stuttered, “I…um… Rachel brought it here. I thought the drug may be poisonous, so I…”


    “So you decided to throw it away? What gives you the right to decide throwing away Mr. Sullivan’s


    things?” Ivan narrowed his eyes. “I… I…” The receptionist turned paler by the second, tears running


    down her cheeks.


    Clenching the medicine bottle tightly in his hand, Ivan gritted his teeth and said, “I will inform Mr. Sullivan


    about this. And you… Prepare yourself for the worst. Surely you’ve got some exnation for this. Get out


    of here if you can’t justify your actions!” After saying that, Ivan turned around and took the elevator,


    heading straight to the 33rd floor. The receptionist’s face was grim, and she couldn’t stand still. She took


    a few steps back and fell to the floor after colliding with the trash bin.


    When Ivan arrived at the 33rd floor, the meeting had just ended. He knocked on the door first before


    coming in. He then proceeded to pour some water for Victor, and handed him two pills. Victor didn’t get


    enough rest this week. He had to work overtime for two consecutive days aftering home from


    Switzend. The stomachache seemed to worsen and his pallor wasn’t any better. He took the pills and


    swallowed them without drinking water. “Mr. Sullivan, it was Miss Be who brought this medicine,”


    Ivan said as he ced down the ss of water, ncing at his boss. “Rachel?”

    “Yes. I was going to get it myself, but I happened to see the receptionist about to throw the medicine


    away. I stopped her and asked why she did it. Then she told me Miss Be was


    the one who sent the medicine.” Victor frowned and pursed his thin lips. What Rachel said to Lukas two


    days ago suddenly came to his mind. He felt his stomach lurch. “How long has she been gone?” Victor


    asked in a low voice. “Who?” Ivan leaned closer because he didn’t get who he was asking about.


    “Rachel.” “She just left when I saw the receptionist trying to throw the medicine away, so I’d say around


    five minutes. If you head to her now, you should be able to catch up with her.” Ivan said.


    Victor gave Ivan a cold look as soon as he finished speaking. “Who told you I was going after her?” Ivan


    gulped and immediately said, “I’m sorry. I thought too much.” Victor’s face remained deadpan. After a


    while, he stood up, grabbed his coat, and prepared to leave.


    Ivan assumed he was going to check thepany, so he decided to follow him. “I’m going to rest in the


    car. Don’t follow me,” said Victor. “Yes, sir.” Ivan came to a halt as Victor entered the CEO’s private


    elevator. He watched as the doors shut When he saw that the number on the elevator screen was fixed


    on “1,” Ivan burst intoughter. He never thought that his boss would be so mendacious.


    On the other side, Rachel was returning to Sue Garden after leaving the medicine at the front desk. The


    kitten should be there by now. However, just a few steps out of the door, she heard a familiar voice.


    “Rachel.”


    Rachel turned to follow the voice’s direction, and to her surprise, a familiar figure was walking towards


    her. “Oh, Roger. It’s you.” Rachel was surprised. She didn’t expect to coincidentally run into him in this


    ce. She noticed he was dressed in a formal suit. “Are you here for business?” “No, I just happened to


    pass by.” Roger gently smiled at her. He hadn’t seen Rachel since she got hospitalized. He was unsure


    of how to face Rachel. Being the Jimenez family’s heir, he was too busy to visit her. ra had told him


    that Rachel was fine now. When he saw her standing in front of him, safe and sound, he felt even more


    relieved.


    “What a coincidence!” Rachel cheerfully replied. “You…” He wanted to tell her a lot of things, but Roger


    didn’t know why he couldn’t voice it out loud when Rachel was standing in front of him. “What? Do I look


    weird? Is there something on my face?” “Nothing.” Roger chuckled. “I just don’t know what to say. I feel a


    bit guilty. If I had gone with you to go look for Riley, you probably wouldn’t have been in danger. I’m


    sorry.”


    Noticing the remorse on his face, Rachel shook her head and smiled. “I’m fine now, don’t worry about it.


    Besides, she was my responsibility. I was supposed to keep an eye on her, but in the middle of


    everything, we got split up and it took a long while before we could find her.” “Rachel, it wasn’t your fault.


    If only I was…” “Hold it!” Rachel interjected, helplessly smiling, “Are we going to just stand here and


    me ourselves for what happened? If we keep this up, it feels like I should be sorry for going out that


    day. If I hadn’t left home, I wouldn’t have met you and Riley wouldn’t have gotten lost.”


    “I didn’t mean that,” Roger replied. “I know. It’s just how I feel.” Rachel shrugged. “But it’s all in the past


    now. There’s no point in talking about it and ming ourselves. This topic is over, okay?” She winked at


    him. “Fine, you win.” Roger smiled as he looked at her unusually yful expression. “Anyway, I heard


    from my sister that you’ve already taken an ultrasound. What’s the result?” “A healthy little baby.” A


    sweet smile curled at the corners of her mouth as she spoke of the baby in her tummy.


    Roger was silently hurt by this. His eyes fell on Rachel’s abdomen. She was carrying Victor’s child. “By


    the way, congrattions! Your sister told me that you have officially taken over Jimenez Group.” Roger’s


    heart skipped a beat when he looked into her beautiful crescent shaped eyes. “That’s it? That’s all I get


    as your friend?”


    “Well… How about I treat you to something?” Rachel contemted for a while. “But it hasn’t been that


    long since I had breakfast, and it seems a little early to have lunch.” “We don’t have to eat.” Roger fixed


    his eyes on her face and pursed his lips out of nervousness. “Then, let me buy you a gift instead. What


    would you like?”


    “Rachel…”


    “What?”


    Rachel raised her brows and clocked her head to the side. But before she could speak, Roger suddenly


    stepped forward and hugged her. She was taken aback and tried to struggle. “Rachel, let me stay like


    this for a minute. Just this hug is enough.” Roger said gently. Rachel hesitated for a second, pressing her


    lips together.


    Then, she raised her hands and returned his hug. “Congrattions, Roger!” “Thank you.” Roger smiled,


    feeling Rachel’s warmth against him. Victor was standing not far away, watching everything unfold


    clearly. He clenched his fists, blue veins bulging out at the back of his hands. His face soon became


    devoid of expression, making him look cold and intimidating.
