Captivation: Want Nothing But You novel Chapter 61

"What's the matter? Is it that strange to see us together?" Rachel said casually while looking back at him.

"No, it's nothing.I just didn't expect you're Mr.Sullivan's woman."

Dannis suddenly lost interest in Rachel.

After all, he couldn't afford to offend someone like Victor.

As a matter of couldn't find any useful information on him, so he had to pay a hacker to investigate everything about Victor.

Unfortunately, he still ended up with nothing.

As the KD Group's project manager, Dannis was vital to the company, so they paid a high price to hire a competent hacker from the Red Hackers Alliance to hide every detail about his existence.

Hiding his information was successful, but they never managed to conceal everything.

If a person really wanted to find out about Dannis, they might be able to do it with enough perseverance.

However, Dannis could never find any info on Victor aside from the ones he willingly revealed.

With that in mind, he realized how powerful an adversary Victor could be.

And so, for his own safety, Dannis did not dare to covet Victor's female companion.

He then glanced at Rachel and replied, "It seems that I'm indeed not qualified to be your date.If we ever meet again in the future, and you are no longer with Mr.Sullivan, I will definitely ask you to be my date."

Rachel was surprised to hear that, but she was also amazed at how intimidating and powerful Victor was.

It would appear that most people were wary of how terrifying he could be.

Chuckling, Rachel replied, "Mr.Powell, you misunderstood me.I'm not Mr.Sullivan's woman.I'm just an insignificant employee working for the Sullivan Group."

"You're an employee of the Sullivan Group?"

"Indeed.Do I not look like one to you? It's no wonder you mistook me for his woman! I suppose everyone attending Mr.Schultz's birthday party are either famous or distinguished individuals, except me," she said with a smile.

"Moreover, I think Mr.Sullivan no longer needs me as his date."

After saying that, she looked at a direction behind Dannis again.All of a sudden, he felt a chill run down his spine.

The air around him dropped a few degrees.

When he turned around, he saw Victor walking towards them, arm in arm with Alicia.

Rachel straightened herself, putting down the glass of orange juice on the nearest table, and standing beside Dannis.

Soon, Victor and Alicia were standing face to face with them.

"Miss Bennet, I must say, you are quite charming! In a short span of time, you managed to attract a man already.I bet you enjoyed flirting with him, didn't you?"

Alicia said with Ever since Shelia was reborn in Rachel's body, she had heard all sorts of sarcastic, bitter remarks from different people, so she had grown immune to them.

However, Alicia was spoiled by the Schultz family, so she didn't know how to regulate her manner of speaking even in important occasions.

She was oblivious to the fact that her remark also offended Dannis.

Originally, she only intended to insult Rachel, but Dannis felt like she was also mocking him.

Her words invoked a bit of his ire, and his face changed slightly.

"You're mistaken, Miss Schultz.This wonderful lady and I just met by chance, and we were just having a friendly conversation."

"Huh? All I said was that she was flirting with you, not vice versa.Why are you in a hurry to defend her? Is it because the two of you actually did something dishonorable?"

Alicia pressed her lips with dissatisfaction.She really hated it when people talked back to her.

Meanwhile, Rachel just lowered her head in silence, acting like this conversation had nothing to do with her at all.

At this time, Victor looked at her with sullen eyes.

He had planned to leave Rachel alone during the party and ignore her for the rest of the night.

But for some reason, when Drake asked him to greet the guests, he couldn't help but glance at her from time to time.

The only instance he managed to focus his conversation with others was when she went to the balcony with orange juice in hand.

Now, when he checked on Rachel again, he saw her happily speaking to a man.

He couldn't really hear what they were talking about, but he found the smile on her face annoying.

So much so that he could barely resist the urge to rush towards them and pull Rachel back to his side.

For a time, he managed to not look at the balcony and focus on the conversation he was having.

However, Alicia also noticed that Rachel was speaking to a man with such glee in her eyes.

During their conversation, she intentionally mentioned Rachel's name over and over.
