Chapter 324 - The Boss (4) (1/2)
Rachel went silent for a while then she smiled and before she could say anything Jessica went ahead and grabbed Oliver by his collar ”How dare you force her to be with you.”
Rachel's eyes widened at her reaction, she held her by her shoulders and said ”Relax Jess, it's not like I have agreed.”
Jessica looked at her angrily ”Rach promise me you won't ever be the girlfriend of this jerk. Rachel smiled and said ”Have some faith in my work ethics.”
She then turned to Oliver and said with a plain face ”If that is the case then Mr. Oliver I am afraid that you will have to leave and I refuse to have any work contracts with your company in future.”
Oliver looked at her with a hurt expression and a hand on his chest ”Ah! Do you have to be that brutal to refuse me. I was just messing with you and I really don't intend to force you into anything. I just want to be with you when you are ready to accept me. Now talking about business you make a very good point and we don't wish to face a huge loss in long run so the company will pay you more.”
Rachel looked at him angrily ”Oliver you dare to mess with me while we are dealing with something serious and here I thought that I could not even deal something so simple. If you agree then I have the new contract ready, you have to sign it.”
She then looked at Jessica ”Will you please bring the contract.”
Jessica nodded and went out giving a glare to Oliver who looked at Rachel and said ”Why is your friend so dangerous, I am scared of her.”
Rachel laughed ”Don't worry, it's just that she is a little protective of me.”
Oliver rolled his eyes ”A little, I feel like she is your girlfriend. Anyways are you free tonight, I have a friend who is a an artist and he is holding an exhibition do you want to come with me.”
Rachel gave it a thought and then asked ”What time is the exhibition.”
”Around nine”
Rachel nodded her head ”Alright I will be free by then and I can join you. Moreover I do require a place to relax because I have been stressed a lot lately.”
Oliver grinned widely ”Then be ready, I will pick you up tonight.”
Rachel nodded her head and by then Jessica returned with the contract which both of them signed. Oliver then shook hands with her and said ”See you tonight” before leaving.
Rachel nodded and after he left, she looked at Jessica ”Are the candidates ready?”
Jessica nodded ”Yeah, you can began with the interview and I will select the candidates for a few posts that are yet to be dealt with.”
”Do that first because I need you there with me during the interview so I will began that when you are free.”
Jessica nodded her head ”By the way did you agree to go on a date with Oliver.”
Rachel rolled her eyes ”What gave you the idea that I would do this?”
Jessica was confused ”But he said he will see you tonight.”
Rachel kept walking forward and Jessica followed her ”I am going to his friend's exhibition and you don't have to worry about me I will not make the same mistake as I made with Kevin again. Moreover I don't feel anything like that for him, I feel like my heart belongs to someone else.”
Jessica was speechless and now she thought that it would have been better if she felt something for Oliver but now that was not the case so she had to bear with it. She didn't want to continue the conversation so she said ”If that is the case then I have nothing to worry about so I will go and deal with these initial interviews.”
Rachel nodded and then headed to her office, she was too tired of thinking everything so she looked her office after entering and opened the room behind it. She went into the room and lay on the bed thinking which part of her memory was bothering her but she was unable to get any answers from her memory. She eventually gave up and stopped thinking finally dozing off to sleep.
She had no idea for how long she slept but it was when the door of her office was knocked that she woke up. She looked into the mirror and made herself presentable before going out. Jessica was standing there and seeing her she said ”Come I have selected the candidates.”
