Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 45

Victor stepped on a glass shard.

The crisp sound reminded Alice of the sound of a breaking neck, instilling fear in her heart to the point that she clammed up.

"Alice, do you really think I wouldn't find out that you switched Rachel's examination paper using my name during her interview?" Victor asked, glancing down at her.

"Mr.Sullivan, I'm so sorry.I know I shouldn't have given my sister a hard time in your name, but I did that because…" Alice summoned up the courage to stand up.

"I have feelings for you!"

After saying that, she looked at him, holding her breath and feeling tense.

Moments later, Victor held her chin.

"You like me, huh?" Alice's eyes lit up when she heard him say that.

"I do.Ever since the first day I met you, I've fallen in love with you.Victor, if it weren't for my sister, I would've married you.Unlike her, I will never"

"Alice."

Victor smirked as he called out her name to interrupt her confession.

Alice froze upon seeing the disdain in his eyes.

It seemed that he wasn't pleased to hear her confession.

"Who do you think you are? Do you honestly think you deserve to have feelings for me? No matter how terrible Rachel was, she is still the eldest lady of the Bennet family; an identity recognized by everyone.You are nothing but an illegitimate daughter.You're nothing compared to her! Rachel doesn't even deserve my love, and yet you think you do?Preposterous!"

Victor emphasized the word "preposterous", as if her confession was a joke to him.

All the hope in Alice's heart dissipated like melting ice.

"Victor, I "

"Watch your tongue, Alice! I'm your boss, and you will address me with respect.You have no right to speak casually to me.Anyway, don't let me catch you sabotaging Rachel again.If I can easily make her a gofer, just imagine what I can do to you.If it pleases me, I can even make you a dustman on the streets!"

With that, Victor walked away without a second thought.

Alice was left there; her face as pale as a ghost.She could no longer keep herself standing, and she fell to the ground momentarily.

Once he had left the Crown Club, Victor went back to his company.

Soon, a Maybach car pulled over outside the Sullivan Group's entrance.

Through the rearview mirror, Ivan looked at Victor while he was closing his eyes to rest.

"Mr.Sullivan, we've arrived at the company," said Ivan.

It was already ten in the evening, and there was hardly anyone left in the building.

Victor opened his eyes and grunted as a response.

He got off the car and said, "Ivan, you can go home now.I will be staying here tonight."

Ivan withdrew his hand from the car door, contemplating for a moment.

Seconds later, he nodded in agreement without questioning Victor's order.

It only took a few moments before Ivan drove away on the Maybach.

Victor massaged his temples with his fingers.

It was apparent that he was tipsy at the moment because Carson had made him drink several shots of strong cocktails.

After making sure that he was good to walk, he headed towards the entrance of the building.

At the same time, someone was walking out of it.

Upon hearing the set of footsteps, Victor looked up, and when he saw who it was, his eyes darkened.

It was Rachel.

She was wearing a thin shirt.

Her long hair that had been tied up was now disheveled due to long hours of working; a few strands of her hair were hanging over her eyes.

Through her eyes, he could tell that she was exhausted.

Her face was pale, but her cheeks were a little pinkish, and sweat was rolling down from her forward along her cheeks. The chilly night wind in early autumn blew gently, seeping into their skins.

Seeing Rachel like this, Victor stopped in his tracks.

For some reason, he remembered the joke Carson had said tonight While they were in the Crown Club, Carson said to him, "You told a spoiled lady who hasn't done any housework in her life to clean the washrooms of the entire building.Let's not forget how many washrooms there are in the Sullivan Group's building! Just think about it.Everyone in the company knows that Rachel is your ex-wife, and now she's been stripped of her dignity, and made to clean toilets in front of all your employees.What do you think those people will think of her? Victor, my friend, you are the cruelest man I've ever known.You must really loathe Rachel to humiliate her like that."
