Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 54

The following day, Rachel went back to the Sullivan Group to work.

But this time, she had an assistant to help her do her job in the archive room-Abby.

It had only two days since she last went to work, but there was already a mountain of documents waiting for Rachel to be sorted out.

The files were scattered everywhere, and there was little to no room left to stand on.

As she began sorting out the documents, she said to Abby, "Abby, you need not worry about me.You can go home now.I can handle this myself."

Putting on a serious face, Abby picked up a box full of papers and put it on the table.

"I refuse," she said firmly.

Rachel was so surprised to hear Abby refused her command so adamantly that she raised her eyebrows.

This was the first time that she had heard Abby say "no" to her.

In her eyes, Abby was a soft and caring woman, who would rarely lose her temper.

"Miss Bennet, you're pregnant.You should think about the health of your child.You should have more rest and shouldn't skip meals anymore like you usually do," Abby said with a frown.

Ever since yesterday, Rachel had been hearing her say that, and she was tired of hearing that same statement.

"Fine, I get it.If you want to stay and help, do as you please." Rachel shook her head, wearing a helpless smile.

"Don't worry. I won't cause trouble for you this time," Abby added.

Rachel was staring at a computer and typing on the keyboard when she heard her speak.

There was a smile on Rachel's face, but the tone of her voice sounded serious.

"You've never caused me any trouble, Abby."

Honestly, Shelia hated troubles.

Generally speaking, Abby was soft and vulnerable.

Had Shelia met her in the past, she wouldn't have even bothered talking to her, because people like Abby would often bring trouble.

Perhaps the change in her personality was influenced by the original Rachel.

Or maybe it was due to the fact that she had died once and everything she had experienced in her previous life had changed her.

Now that she was Rachel, Shelia had become more human than ever.

"Miss Bennet…"

Upon hearing Rachel say that, Abby's eyes welled up with joyful tears.

Seeing that her helper was about to cry again, Rachel immediately stopped her.

"Abby, focus.We need to hurry, or else we won't be able to finish our work today."

The moment Abby heard that, she held back her tears, and concentrated on working.

Considering the dispute Abby had with Ivy last time, Rachel left Abby in the archive and went to deliver the materials personally this time.

"Just sign here," the front desk receptionist said as she pointed at the blank space in the form where Rachel's name must be signed.

After signing her name on the space, Rachel handed the form back.

Once she had confirmed that there were no errors, she turned around and was ready to go back to the archive and get back to work.

But before she could even walk on, she heard the receptionists whispering behind her.

"Why is she still working in the archive? I heard that she's going to remarry Mr.Sullivan."

"Who did you hear that from? Have you forgotten how Mr.Sullivan made her clean all the washrooms the other day? It would be nigh impossible for them to get remarried! Do you think that he'll let his future wife clean even a single washroom?"

"But Mr.Sullivan fired Ivy for her.Is that not an indication that he still has feelings for her?"

"Ivy got fired? Where did you hear that from? It's no wonder I haven't seen here at work these days. I just thought she was sick or something!"

"Just the other day, Ivy called me crying.She said that the personnel department told her that she was sacked, and that this was Mr.Sullivan's direct order."

Rachel was shocked to hear that.

Their voices were loud enough for her to hear them clearly.

‘'Ivy got fired? And the order came directly from Victor, huh?’' 

Instinctively, Rachel slowed her pace and frowned.She couldn't figure out what Victor was up to.

Even if he wanted to fire a receptionist, there was no logical explanation why the order had to come from him directly.

After all, a receptionist was an insignificant position.
