Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 30

The following day, at nine in the morning, there was only one hour left before the twenty four hour deadline.

Rachel arrived at the first floor of the Sullivan Group’s building as they had agreed upon Ivan was waiting on time in the hall.He approached Rachel as soon as he saw her.

"Miss Bennet," he greeted.

"Mr.Sullivan is still in a meeting.I’ll take you upstairs."

Ivan’s face as stoic as always.

Rachel nodded in agreement.

Ivan surveyed her casually, and saw that she didn’t bring anything with her.  

‘It seems that she didn’t find anything,’’ he thought Ivan decided not to ask any questions, and led Rachel to the CEO’s office using the private elevator.

Once they arrived in Victor’s office, Ivan ordered a secretary to bring Rachel a cup of coffee, and then he left to take care of his own business.

At this time, she was sitting on the sofa, sipping coffee and looking around the office. The decor of the office suited Victor’s personality.

The predominant colors were black and white, creating a stoic ambiance.The majesty embodied in the decoration made people nervous and vigilant for some reason.

This wasn’t the first time that Rachel had come here.

In the past, she often made a scene in his office because she was Victor’s wife, and the hostess of the Sullivan family.

However, the welcome she received from Victor was his poker face.

Each time, he would look annoyed, and ask the security guard to throw her out.  Just when Rachel put down her coffee, the office door was opened from outside.

"Mr.Sullivan…"

Rachel heard a voice as the person entered.

The person who came in was surprised to see Rachel, and she stared at her in disbelief.

"Rachel! What are you doing here?" said Alice.

After saying that, she strode towards Rachel.

Rachel, on the other hand, crossed her legs and leaned back lazily.She raised her head and smirked.

"Well, you’re allowed to be here, so why can’t I?"she remarked.

"No, you can’t!"

Alice screamed, reaching out to grab Rachel’s arm, "Get out!"

Before Alice could reach her, Rachel’s eyes glinted, and she managed to grab Alice’s wrist before the woman could touch her.

Alice didn’t expect that Rachel could react so quickly.She gritted her teeth, trying to withdraw her hand.

"Let me go!" she cried.

"It seems that your wrist had recovered from the last time it got hurt, Alice," Rachel said as she looked into Alice’s eyes.

Her lips were smiling, but her eyes didn’t share the sentiment.

Rachel’s words reminded Alice of the incident in the Bennet family’s mansion the other day.

Alice’s body trembled slightly as she stammered, "Rachel, what are you planning to do? This isn’t the Bennet family’s residence.If you dare to hurt me, Victor won’t let you get away with it!"

"Ha!" Rachel broke into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?"

Alice was bothered by Rachel’s laughter.

She managed to pluck up the courage to raise her voice.

"Where do you get the confidence that I won’t hurt you, Alice? Have you forgotten that policemen were present when I did that to you the other day?"

Rachel looked at her while wearing a greasy smile.

Fear overcame Alice as she struggled to pull her hand back.

She didn’t know if it was because she was too agitated or she was just too weak, but she couldn’t seem to break free from Rachel’s grasp.

Just as Alice exerted more strength in pulling her hand away, Rachel loosened her grip all of a sudden.

With eyes wide open, Alice fell backwards, landing on her backside.

Due to the impact of the fall, she was left humiliated, and she looked like a mess.

Enduring the pain, Alice stood up and glared at Rachel.

"How dare you!"

"Didn’t you ask me to let you go? How is that my fault now?"
