Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 374

"Mias Salazar told me that if you don’t come out ten minutes after going in, I should call this number." The woman took out a business card hidden in her sleeve and handed it to Rachel.

Rachel grabbed the card and checked it out under the dim light.She didn’t recognize the name or number.But it was stated on the card that the person was a media reporter.

"Uh… Miss Bennet, I have something else to say.Miss Salazar offered me a huge sum of money and a promotion if I agreed to bring you here."

"Oh, how much is she willing to give you?" Rachel responded in a disinterested tone, making it impossible to tell whether she was mad or not.

After a bit of hesitation, the woman bit her lower lip, raised two fingers, and said, "Twenty thousand dollars!"

Seeing no change in Rachel’s expression, she was worried that her words weren’t being taken seriously, so she added, "Please, Miss Bennet, I’m telling you the truth! I know what I did was wrong, but I really don’t want to get into trouble.I’m begging you, could you please just let me go? The money…Heck, I don’t even want it anymore! If you need proof that I’m telling the truth, I’ll give all of it to you right now!"

She took out the check from her pocket and handed it over to Rachel.

The poor girl’s face was ghastly pale and filled with regret.

It was clear that if she had known that things would end up this way, she would’ve never accepted Susan’s money in the first place.

"Hmm, keep the money."

Once again, Rachel gave a listless response, showing no concern for the woeful woman in front of her.

"Huh? Wait, what?"

The woman couldn’t believe what she heard, causing her to stammer.

"I’ll even give you an extra twenty grand."

While waiting for a response, Rachel placed the business card between two fingers and focused her gaze on it.

No matter how hard she tried, the woman couldn’t figure out what was going on inside of Rachel’s mind. But when she heard Rachel’s after she immediately sensed that something was wrong.Her body started trembling in fear, so much so that she needed to take a step back 

"Miss Bennet, why are you giving me money?"

Before Rachel could respond, an idea popped up in the woman’s mind.

While waving her hands, she hurriedly exclaimed, "No! I won’t do favors for money anymore! I’ve already made that mistake with Miss Salazar! I don’t plan on doing it again!"

After her experience with Susan, the woman couldn’t help but think that Rachel was planning to use her for revenge. For a lowly receptionist, the last thing she wanted was to incur the wrath of people like Susan or Rachel.

Tears started streaming down her face.

But just as she was about to bawl her eyes out, an idea popped up in her mind.

‘Will she let me go if she sees how miserable I am?’ She raised her hand and slapped herself twice in the face with all her might.

Immediately after the slap, her ears started ringing, and her cheeks felt like they were on fire.She even squealed in anguish to look more miserable.But when she opened her eyes, Rachel still had the same disinterested look on her face.

"Miss Bennet…"

"I have no problem letting you go” Rachel said.

As soon as the woman heard those words, a wave of relief coursed through her entire body.

But before making her long-awaited escape, she bowed down repeatedly to show her gratitude, regardless of the pain she felt in her face.

Just as she was about to step out, Rachel uttered, "But…"

The woman stopped dead in her tracks, and her heart sank to her stomach.
