Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 412

“Hello… Miss Bennet?” Ameer paused realizing that there had been no response from the other end of the line after speaking a lot so quickly.

 “She is asleep,” Victor replied after a while. 

Ameer was quite shocked on hearing the guy’s voice. He examined the caller ID on his phone as he unconsciously removed it from his ear. The number was Rachel’s. He couldn’t figure out who the man that just spoke was.

When he said that Rachel had fallen asleep, what did he mean by that? Could he have possibly been with Rachel?

Ameer’s grip on the phone tightened and he asked, “I’m lost. Who might you be? How is Miss Bennet’s phone in your possession? Where is she?”

Beep!

Victor hung up before Ameer completed his words. Ameer was astonished and irritated when the beep came through. His gaze remained fixed on the screen, which indicated that the call was over. He could hear the man’s voice in his head. In the silence, the man’s speech reverberated in his ears, and he remained still.

The call record appeared on the phone screen as Victor was ready to put the phone down after hanging up, and his eyes became dim. He then erased Ameer’s call history and banned his phone number. 

After that, he returned the phone and acted like he had done nothing.

Using his best judgment, he guessed that Rachel would be coming up any moment. He knew that it was not the best moment to try to push her to accept him. Victor stepped out of the room and down the stairs whilst he contemplated that.

Downstairs, Rachel drank from a glass of water and sat calmly.

In anticipation of Victor’s departure, she waited. The servants were once again being ordered to clean the kitchen by Lukas. Then, he caught sight of Victor. 

“Mr. Sullivan…”

“Lukas, if you need anything, please don’t hesitate to contact me.” 

Following his conclusion, Victor locked his gaze on Rachel. Rachel, who was in the dining room, had picked up on what Victor had said and turned to face him. The two happened to be looking at each other at the time. 

Then, she quickly averted her gaze. In the midst of the weird environment that Rachel was in with Victor, Lukas’ lips moved in an attempt to speak, but he had to nod and say, “Then I’ll tell the driver to start the car.”

Victor nodded his head in approval.

At the same moment, his phone vibrated in his pocket. Carson had sent him a message. It read, “Ameer? What gives you the sudden want to inquire about him? He has recently returned from a trip abroad. Are you interested in him? Do you want him to join the Sullivan Group?”

Carson then sent another message. “Forget about trying to Swoop in and get him. It’s impossible for you to do so. Are you familiar with the Gordon family? Roger is his cousin. Ameer is the lone kid of the Gordon family. He is going to take over his family business.” Carson called Victor as soon as Victor finished reading the two messages.

Victor answered it.

On the other end of the telephone, Carson said curiously, “I’m having an odd feeling. Never before have you brought up Ameer. He did well overseas, but he isn’t a top talent by any stretch. The Sullivan Group isn’t a good fit for him.”

Employees of Sullivan Group might easily be considered among the best in their field. Ameer couldn’t stand out when compared to those individuals.

With the help of the Gordon and Jimenez families, as well as the resources Ameer’s parents had worked so hard to accumulate for him, Ameer was able to gain some notoriety among Apliaria’s top crust.

The highest echelons of the Apliaria had been engaged in open and covert brawls. As time passed, the esteem in which upper-class young men and women were held fluctuated.
