Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 56

In the archive room, when Rachel heard she would be taking a business trip, she felt both excited and horrified.She only had two hours before the plane took off.

"Miss Bennet, why did they wait until last minute to tell you about this? What is going on? That's preposterous! You just drew your blood and you're still weak.You need rest," Abby said indignantly.

The public relations department guy had left in quite a hurry after informing Rachel about the upcoming business trip and he had offered no further explanations.

Frowning, Abby felt that there was something wrong today.

Strange things kept happening one after the other.

Sitting in front of her computer listening to Abby's ranting, Rachel was lost in her thoughts.

Something was up, she was sure of it! First of all, why would a lowly employee from the archive go on a business trip? And not just a simple business trip, but one that Victor, the CEO would also have to take.

It didn't even make sense.

She looked into Abby eyes shrugging.

"I have no idea."

"So… Are you going?" Abby asked, looking worried sick.

Rachel grabbed her purse, stood up and flashed Abby a fond but bitter smile.

"I don't think I really have a choice."

Indeed she didn't.

Not too long ago, Victor had forced her to do his bidding-drink that infernal wine, that was using the Bennet Group as leverage.

So it would probably be the same now.

As long as Victor held the power to make or break the Bennet Group, Rachel had no choice but dance to his tune.

Abby pursed her lips in disgust.

Rachel reached out and pinched the girl's cheek.

"Don't worry about me.I'll be fine.Victor won't really hurt me.He just wants to mess with me again, I guess.It's not that big of a deal."

"Oh, Miss Bennet.I am sorry I'm so useless.I wish I could protect you somehow,"

Abby sniffled."That's enough.Abby, you need to stop underestimating yourself all the time.When I return, you can cook a huge meal for me, one of those delicious things that have me drooling by the smell alone.That's all I need."

Rachel gave Abby an encouraging smile and turned to leave.

"Come on.There is a car waiting for us outside."

When they reached the huge entrance, Rachel saw a black Maybach SUV parked right outside.

Rachel stopped walking and turned to Abby.

"Listen, if Andy asks you where I am, just tell him I'm on a business trip.Don't mention that Victor will be with me, okay?"

"Why not?" Abby asked, looking confused.

"It's just that he will be worried about me too, just like you were.He has a new case and will be going to court in two days' time.There's no need to distract him with all this."

As she finished speaking, Rachel caught sight of Ivan coming out of the SUV, looking in their direction.

"Alright then… But, Miss Bennet… Please be careful and take care of yourself," Abby said, albeit reluctantly.

Rachel rushed forward and hugged her.

When she let go a few moments later, she took her purse from Abby and started walking towards the car.

"Hello, Ivan," Rachel called out and glanced at the back seat window.

She wanted to see if Victor was inside, just so she could be mentally prepared.

Unfortunately, though, the window was tinted.

Ivan had noticed what she had just been doing and as he opened the door for her, he said, "Mr.Sullivan left for the airport an hour ago."

At the exact same time, Rachel caught sight of the empty back seat and she got in the car breathing a sigh of relief.

Seconds later, Ivan climbed in the driver's seat and they set off.
