Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 26

Manager In the study of the Bennet family’s mansion… 

"Miss Bennet, who did you say Mr.Sullivan asked you to investigate?" Andy asked, looking at Rachel.

She looked away from the computer screen and met Andy’s gaze.

"The project manager of the KD Group.What’s the matter? Is there something strange about that person?"

After saying that, she looked at the computer again.

Rachel had just returned from the Sullivan Group’s building.

On her way back, she googled the KD Group using her mobile phone, and she now had a general idea of the company.

The KD Group’s headquarters was located in Wall Street, and it started as an oil mining company.

Later on, they bought several mines to exploit raw gemstones.

At present, it was now supplying raw materials for thirty percent of the jewelry brands all around the globe.

The Sullivan Group had been wanting to enter the jewelry industry and create an independent brand.

Recently, the KD Group had been intending to raise funds of their own, and Victor wanted to know who was in charge of financing the project.

Probably, because he wanted the Sullivan Group to enter the market through participating in KD’s financing The information scattered on the Internet was varied.

Rachel only skimmed a few of them, but she never found any information on the financial manager of this project.

Obviously, she wasn’t happy about it.

It was acceptable for the manager’s private information like birth date or experience to not be present on the Internet, but it made no sense that the person’s name and gender couldn’t be found as well.

"Miss Bennet, I think we should give up on looking for this person."

Andy put down a book on economic laws and walked to Rachel’s side.

She then closed the web browser, glanced at him, and asked, "Why? What’s so special about this KD Group?"

"You’re never going to find any information about it because Mr.Sullivan knew that already.He did it on purpose.I’m sure he wanted to scare you off."

Andy sat down to contemplate for a moment.

Seconds later, he said, "The KD Group is just a supplier of raw gemstones.It’s not the biggest in the world, and there’s nothing special about them.It’s just that this specific manager is quite peculiar."

Rachel raised an eyebrow but said nothing.She looked at Andy, motioning him to go on.

"This certain project manager became part of the KD Group two years ago.Miss Bennet, you must’ve already searched the KD Group.Do you know when it began to do well?" Rachel nodded.

"Two years ago, right?"

"According to public information regarding the KD Group, two years ago, the company’s business skyrocketed significantly.They had made no mistakes in decision-making, which surprised their competitors in their respective industry.Since then, the company had quickly occupied thirty percent of the rough diamond supply in the market.But there’s one thing you probably don’t know.Two years prior to the KD Group’s success the company was just a small supplier, barely occupying five percent of the market.In the past two years, its market share has multiplied.And this achievement had something to do with the peculiar project manager."

Indeed, Rachel knew little about what Andy was talking about.She only skimmed through the company’s development.

Now that she knew that this project manager sounded like a very capable person.

‘But…’ 

"Is this what makes the project manager so special? I think this only proves the KD Group’s capabilities in hiring the right people.Of course, this manager must have outstanding business acumen, but what does that have to do with my investigation?"

"Miss Bennet, if you’re one of the KD Group’s competitors and you know it employs a very capable manager, what would you do?"

Rachel leaned on the table, supporting her chin with her fist, and said, "I’ll find a way to convince this manager to work for me."

After saying that, something dawned on her.

The look on her face froze for a moment, and she put her hand down while looking at Andy.

"Andy, are you saying that…"

"If you’re able to figure that out, then the KD Group’s competitors have already thought of it as well.Many people are attempting to poach this manager using astronomically high salaries, but after so long, nobody has ever succeeded."

Rachel’s eyes darkened.
