Chapter 561

Rachel did not answer her. Instead, she slowly leaned back in her chair and played with the pen with

her fingertips. She said slowly. “Miss Wright, we are just business partners. That’s all.”

The implication was that she was under no obligation to inform them of her thoughts and plans.

Her indifference was slow and intimidating.

Lynn’s pupils constricted. “Sorry.”

“I’ll give you the contract. I won’t force you. After you’ve thought it through, report for employment on

Monday.”

“Got it,” Haley and Lynn said in unison.

The two stood up and left with their things.

After they left, Linda walked in from outside. “Ms. Grey, this document needs your signature.”

Rachel reached out and took it. Without a word, she signed her name.

She glanced at Linda and saw her conflicted expression. She could not help but ask, “Are you curious

why I kept them?”

Linda nodded. “I don’t understand why you’re helping them.”

“Because they are qualified for this position. If everything goes well, they will replace you.” Rachel

slowly put down the pen and handed the contract in front of her to Linda.

Linda’s eyes widened in disbelief. “Then… then what about me?”

Seeing her shocked look, Rachel could not help but smile. “You’re going to be a manager at a

subsidiary company.”

“But I… This decision left Linda at a loss.

Rachel knew what she was going to say and interrupted her. “Don’t be in a hurry to deny yourself.

You’re far more outstanding than you think to me.”

Linda looked at her, not knowing what to say.

“Don’t look at me like that, or I’ll think you’re going to fall in love with me,” Rachel teased.

When Linda heard the teasing, an unnatural look flashed across her eyes. She slowly lowered her

gaze. “Then I’ll get to work now.”

“Okay.”

Rachel casually flipped through the documents in her hand and took out her phone to call Lucas

Johnson.

“Ma’am, what can I do for you?” Lucas was already familiar with Rachel’s habit of not calling him for no

reason.

Rachel did not hide anything. “How’s the modification of the Hennessy Venom GT going?”

When Lucas heard that, he snorted without hiding anything. “Rachel Grey, you’re a girl. Can you be

more reserved? Besides, aren’t you embarrassed to use my money to make your man happy?”

“A bet is a bet,” Rachel said calmly. “Can’t afford to play?”

Her casual words rendered him speechless.

He didn’t feel sorry for the car.

To be honest, he had countless cars in his garage. One more or less car did not make a difference to

him.

However, he just couldn’t bear to see Rachel being so good to David Jones.

Especially when he thought about how David Jones had seduced Rachel without the Johnson family

knowing anything, he felt that his treasure had been stolen.

“Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with you.” Lucas subtly changed the topic. “Brenda

Duncan’s brother wants you to operate the emergency rescue personally. He was too embarrassed to

look for you, so he called me. Do you want to consider it?”

Although Brenda was not the culprit behind the incident at the racecourse.

If she had not insisted on embarrassing Rachel at the horse race, Rachel would not have nearly fallen

off the horse, let alone the following events.

When Old Mr. Duncun found out, he immediately locked Brenda up and even personally called Old Mr.

Johnson to express his condolences.

Although it was said to be condolences, he was actually seeking peace.

After all, everyone feared the Johnson family’s prestige in Seaxas.

Rachel pondered for a moment. “When?”

Tomorrow morning.”

“Okay.”

Before hanging up, Rachel didn’t forget to add, “Remember to send the car over when you’re free.”

Lucas could not help but roll his eyes. “Got it!”

He snorted and hung up.

Rachel could not help but smile when she heard the beeping sound on the phone.

She looked up at the calendar on the table. The date circled in red marker was especially eye-catching.

She tapped her fingertips on the tabletop.

What should she give him?

While Rachel was racking her brains to prepare a birthday present for David Jones, Olivia Cruise, who

had finally left the police with Marina’s bail, was pestered by (pap a raz zi) squatting nearby.

In the car, Olivia looked at Marina gratefully. “Marina, thank you for this.”

If Marina hadn’t stepped in, she wouldn’t have been able to get away so easily.

Marina looked at her pitiful appearance, and a trace of imperceptible contempt flashed in the depths of

her beautiful eyes.

She looked at Olivia lovingly. “You’re my (god d aughter). Of course, I have to protect you at this critical

moment.”

As she spoke, she held Olivia’s hand. “It’s just that you have to deal with the rest yourself. After all, the

company’s matters are your own. It’s not convenient for an outsider like me to interfere.”

“I know,” Olivia replied.

On the way, Olivia had been paying attention to the movements on the internet.

Especially when she saw her fans groups dissolving one after another, her face turned even paler.

After sending Olivia back to the Cruise family, Marina reminded her caringly, “Olivia, keep a low profile

for the time being, understand?”

“Don’t worry. I will.”

As the two spoke, the male assistant Albert, who had been sitting in the front passenger seat, opened

the car door and got out. Then, he got into the back seat and sat beside Marina.

Olivia’s eyes darkened. A dark light flickered in her eyes as she watched the car drive away, unable to

come back to her senses for a long time.

In the car, Albert was perceptive enough to massage Marina’s legs.

Marina closed her eyes in satisfaction.

“Miss Grey, there’s something I don’t understand.”

Marina slowly opened her eyes and raised her eyebrows slightly, patiently waiting for Albert to

continue.

Albert hesitated for a moment and said carefully, “Miss Cruise has suffered a setback this time. She’s

obviously useless. How is she worth your trouble?”

It was unknown if his words had greatly satisfied Marina’s vanity or if his considerate and gentle

service. had made Marina feel comfortable. She explained with a rare good temper, “It was nothing.

Besides, how can the icing on the cake leave a deep impression? It’s most unforgettable to provide

help in times of

need.”

Albert added, “I hope this Miss Cruise wouldn’t let you down.

Marina chuckled and said softly, “I’m afraid she’s already forgotten about me!“

Her low and gentle tone was mixed with unconcealable mockery.

Just as she expected. Olivia was in a hurry to contact Louis.

However, no matter how many times she called, no one picked up.

In a fit of anger, she threw the phone to the ground.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Bertha rushed in.

Seeing her mother’s expression, Olivia had a bad feeling. “What happened?”

“The board of directors wants you to hold a press conference to apologize for your previous words and

actions. They also said…”
