Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 501

“Miss Bennet.” Kyle noticed Rachel, so he said something to the man he was talking to before approaching Rachel with a smile

Rachel looked back at him with a smile. “Welcome to Apliaria, Mr. Bentley! I have a gift for you.”

Right after she said that, her assistant handed the gift box they had prepared in advance to Kyle. Kyle raised his eyebrows, seeming as though he didn’t expect this. Upon opening the box, he saw an exquisite glass lying in the middle of the box. The dark flannel of the glass’s rim made it even more resplendent.

“I apologize for not being able to prepare well for our meeting, because the time was rather limited. As far as I remember, you once majored in fine arts and design in this country, and that you’ve always been fond of studying the process and designing of ancient cups. I also heard that you collected lots of exquisite instruments. This glass was found during my mother’s business trip, back when she was still alive. Though it may not be the most precious gift there is, its exquisite design is something to marvel at. I believe that you’ll like my gift,” said Rachel

Kyle took the glass out of the box. As he inspected it and held it in his hand, he marveled at its resplendence and beauty

“You’re right. I do like the gift.” He then put down the glass. “Thank you, Miss Bennet!”

“I’m glad you like it, Mr. Bentley.” Having said that, Rachel casually glanced at the sunglasses Kyle was wearing.

 “My assistant reminded me just now, so I’d like to ask about…”

Kyle looked at Rachel, visibly confused.

“How’s your injury?” The tone of her voice was casual enough to make it sound like she had just thought of the question

The smile on Kyle’s face disappeared. But before he could respond, Rachel spoke again.

 “I read about the terrorist attack about a month and a half ago, and found that you were one of the injured victims during the attack. It must’ve been frightening.”

The assistant was surprised about this fact. 

‘A terrorist attack? Why didn’t I know about that? Is Miss Bennet mistaken or something? I didn’t say anything about Mr. Bentley being in a terrorist attack before.’

The assistant wanted to tell Rachel that she must’ve remembered it wrong, and that this might strain their current working relationship with Kyle.
