Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 33

Moments later, the call connected.

"When did you have the time to call so early in the morning, Mr.Sullivan? Have pigs begun to fly? Oh, if so, I must hurry outside and see such a miraculous thing happen!" said the man on the other line.

"I heard your old man is eager to have a grandson? Carson, what would happen if I send your dad a list of all your lovers at this moment? Will he be so delighted that he’ll hold a wedding ceremony for you immediately?" Victor bantered as he fiddled with a pen between his fingers.

"Hey, man! Don’t do that! You’re being mean.I was just kidding.You don’t have to take it so seriously." Carson Shi immediately apologized to Victor.

‘Happy? If my dad finds out that I’m fooling around with a bunch of women, he’s going to break my leg-maybe both!’ Victor slammed his pen on the table, his lips forming a smile.

"I’m just messing with you," he replied.

Upon hearing that, Carson breathed a sigh of relief.

"That’s a brilliant joke."

"Has the King of Hearts been taking orders lately?" asked Victor.

He didn’t have any time to mess around.

"The King of Hearts? Didn’t he disappear three years ago? I tried to place an order with him for a top secret transaction, and I raised my offer to fifty million dollars, but he still flat out refused me!"

Carson pursed his lips and said, "Honestly, I have no idea who that person is, but I think he’s a weirdo."

After hearing Carson’s response, Victor’s eyes fell on the document on the table.

"What’s up? Why did you mention the King of Hearts out of the blue?" 

It didn’t seem like Carson realized what Victor was trying to talk about.

"No reason.Bye."

Right after he said that, Victor dropped the call without waiting for Carson’s response.

Afterwards, Victor contemplated while tapping his fingertips on the table from time to time.

All of a sudden, he started laughing at himself. The King of Hearts was the best hacker the Red Hackers Alliance had ever employed.

Three years ago, he declared that he would no longer be accepting orders publicly.

Initially, Victor had planned to entice the King of Hearts with a high price to investigate the KD Group’s manager.

However, Victor couldn’t get in touch with him, so he had to spend a lot of time to investigate personally.

The reason he was laughing at himself was because he thought it was ridiculous for him to believe even for just one second that Rachel’s information might’ve come from a hacker who disappeared for three years.

If Victor himself couldn’t find the King of Hearts, how could Rachel get ahold of him? Besides, even if she managed to find the King of Hearts, she wouldn’t be able to hire him with what little money she had.

It was probably just a coincidence.

Come Monday morning, Rachel tied up her hair, put on light makeup and a formal business suit, and headed straight to the Sullivan Group’s building.

When the front desk receptionist saw Rachel, she walked up to her and said, "Miss Bennet, Ivan has asked me to tell you that your interview shall be held on the twentieth floor, and that the interviewer is already waiting for you."

Rachel nodded, and walked towards the elevator.

It appeared as though she was familiar with the place.

Behind her, the front desk lady stood still.

Soon, several had gathered curious why Rachel was here.

"Are my eyes deceiving me? Isn’t that Mr.Sullivan’s ex-wife?"

"What’s she doing here? Haven’t they gotten divorced already?"

"I heard that she’s here for an interview."

"An interview? Oh, my God! Where did she get the courage to come to the Sullivan Group for an interview? Hasn’t she had enough humiliation for one lifetime?"

"Well, who knows? What can she possibly not do? This isn’t the first time that she’s been so shameless.She has caused a scene in this company several times in the past, and everybody knows about it.Who would believe that she’s actually born from a rich family?"

"She’s a lady? Perhaps calling her a loser would be more suitable! Haha!"

"What are you all talking about? Why don’t you focus on your jobs?"

All of a sudden, a shrill female voice interrupted their gossiping.
