Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 520: Make A Choice (Part Five)

The investigation team walked out of the meeting room and entered the elevator.

When the elevator doors began to close, the person behind Davis said, "Miss Bennet didn’t seem to worry about the investigation at all.Perhaps she really is innocent.There may be nothing fishy between the Bennet Group and the Sullivan Group."

Upon hearing that, Davis turned to the man and snorted.

"She’s not worried? Sometimes, the calmer a person appears to be, the more fearful they truly are! I’ve seen many people pretending to be composed, but in reality, they’re scared to death.Am I right, Kent?"

Kent glanced at Davis indifferently as a response.He creased his eyebrows as he thought of how Rachel behaved just now.

She was indeed calm.

Every movement she made and the way she spoke were so composed.She was a lot different from the people involved in the cases they had investigated before.

Moreover, she was open and didn’t seem to be hiding anything.

Seeing as Kent didn’t answer, Davis decided to ignore him.He just gave the other person a pat on the shoulder and said, "You’ve been spending too much time in the office over the past few years.You rarely go out on the field to deal with cases.Once you’ve met more people, you won’t jump to conclusions so easily."

Just then, the elevator stopped on the first floor was Andy prepared what the investigation team needed according to the list that Kent provided.

Then, he sent the materials to the meeting room before two in the afternoon.He knocked on the door of the CEO’s office, and came in once Rachel gave him the permission to come in.

Inside, he saw Rachel sitting on the sofa and placing lunch boxes on the table one after another.

"Miss Bennet, what are these?"

Andy asked in confusion when he saw the lunch boxes.

Rachel looked at him, opened the lids of the lunch boxes to reveal their contents.

There were a variety of dishes with meat and vegetables.

"Andy, come and have something to eat," Rachel said, waving her hand.

"Miss Bennet, didn’t you have lunch already?"

Andy was confused.

"I’ve already eaten," Rachel replied.

She had already eaten lunch at the canteen.

After all, the investigation team had gone to the canteen for lunch.

Since she was the CEO, she had to greet them there.

Thereafter, she ate food prepared in the canteen while the employees watched her.

"I’m aware that you haven’t had lunch yet, so I asked Lila to prepare food for you.It’s still warm," Rachel said.

"Sit down and eat.You need all of your strength to continue working."

Andy never imagined that these dishes were specially prepared for him.It warmed his heart.

Thus, he nodded in agreement and sat down.

"Have some soup."

Rachel handed a bowl of soup to him.

Andy accepted it at once.

"Miss Bennet, would you like to have some too? You should have some of the soup."

"No need to worry.There is still a lot of soup."

With that, Andy said nothing more and began to eat.

Once he had drunk more than half of the bowl of soup, all his tiredness and hunger went away.

Rachel also drank half a bowl of soup as she sat on the sofa.

Then, she stared at something on her smartphone.

During the meal, Andy caught a glimpse of what she was looking at.He hadn’t forgotten why he came into her office.He then put down his bowl and said, "You were right, Miss Bennet.

The investigation team came to investigate the shares Victor bought from Bennet Group."

"Hmm?"

Rachel put down her phone and raised her eyebrows.

Andy had made a copy of the list that Kent gave.He handed it to her and said, "These are the files that the investigation team wants.Take a look.These documents and contracts were made around the time

Victor acquired the 45 shares."

Rachel skimmed through the list.

"In that case, work with them.Give them whatever they need.They’re coming for Victor and the Sullivan Group, not us.This whole thing has nothing to do with us."

"But I think there’s someone pulling behind the strings on this one.People in Apliaria are trembling in fear because of the investigation team and the issues regarding the Sullivan Group.Everyone is scared of getting involved," Andy replied, feeling uneasy.

Rachel paused.She just looked at him and said nothing.

Thereafter, they heard three knocks coming from the door.The assistant soon came in.

"Miss Bennet, Mr.Jimenez is here."

Right after she said that, Roger walked in from behind the assistant.He was wearing a black windbreaker.He appeared to have come here in a hurry.

Done with his meal, Andy stood up and bade Rachel and Roger farewell.

Then, he left the office with the assistant, leaving the other two alone.

"What brings you here, Roger? Have you had lunch yet?" Rachel asked.

Lila thought that neither Rachel nor Andy had eaten anything, so she prepared two sets of meals.There were still lots of food left on the table.

Upon seeing how casual she was, Roger was relieved.

"Not yet.Have you? How about we grab a bite somewhere?"

"Oh, I’ve already had lunch.But if you haven’t eaten yet, sit down and help yourself.We can talk once you’re full."

As soon as Rachel saw him, she knew what he was here for.

Since that was what she said, Roger figured it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to ask about the investigation team so soon, so he nodded in response.

While Rachel waited for him to finish eating, she replied to some emails.

By the time she finished, fifteen minutes had passed.

When she looked up, she found that Roger had finished eating and put away all the lunch boxes.

The table had been cleaned, and the newspaper on the table had been thrown into the trash can. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Rachel caught a glimpse of the newspaper in the trash can.

The words "Sullivan Group in Crisis" on the front page of the newspaper were particularly eye-catching.

"Rachel-"

"Are you going to ask me about the investigation team?"

Rachel looked away and interrupted him.

Roger nodded in response, staring at her and examining her expression for an answer.

"I had a meeting this morning and it didn’t end until one in the afternoon.It was then that I found out that the investigation team went to the Bennet Group.Are you okay? Did they give you a hard time?"

Worry was written all over his face.

Rachel could sense just how worried he was.

"I’m okay," she said in a soft voice.

"They just went here to gather information.They won’t stay long, and they’re not acting against the Bennet Group.They have no reason to make things difficult for me."

Now that Roger heard that, he felt at ease.

"Good to hear."

He took a step closer to Rachel, intending to embrace her.But then, he drew his hands back, worried that he might startle her.

"This morning, news of the Sullivan Group’s issue broke out, and then the investigation team went to the Bennet Group.was worried about what they might do to you," Roger explained.

"They aren’t the police.The best they can hold against me is an investigation order.They can’t arrest me for no reason, can they?" Rachel smirked.

"They’re here to investigate why Victor purchased shares of the Bennet Group."

"No wonder," Roger said after thinking for a while.

"Huh?"

Rachel was confused.

"What do you mean?"

Roger looked into her eyes, seemingly in thought.

After a moment of silence, he said, "Rachel, my father’s friend happens to be one of the members of the investigation team.He said that there’s a chance that Victor will go to jail."
