Chapter 338 - New Challenges (1) (1/2)
The moonlight fell on her face made her look exceptionally beautiful and as she had been overworking herself the tiredness on her face was visible too but it didn't hinder her beauty instead added a different charm to it. He lowered his head and pushed her hair behind her ear and stared at her face for a long time until his gaze landed on her lips and the alcohol in his body took effect.
His lips subconsciously moved towards her while his hand was on her cheek and just when he was about to plant a kiss on her lips, she flipped around and let out a tired m.o.a.n as it had been days since she had slept properly. He came back to his senses and immediately got up to go to his own room. He went to take a shower to calm himself and his racing heart down.
The three weeks that Robert needed had already passed and he had already strengthened his company in this time, he just wanted to stir up trouble now so that the queen would kill him but before that he wanted to kick out the strongest company in the market. He had been putting in all the efforts and Rachel had been blocking all of them, he didn't get a chance to attack her even for once, his opponent was too strong and he had underestimated her. He decided to attack at night when everyone would be sleeping but Rachel was too cleaver and she blocked all his attack by pulling a few nights and only sleeping for a while.
Now that she was asleep, she was put to a disadvantage against the immortal who had no problem remaining awake for as long as possible. He decided to attack and take her company down and now that she was not awake, it was easy for him to bring her company down by half of her profits. Jessica too had been keeping an eye on her brother and she immediately called Rachel when she saw this but she was not picking up the call. She could not give up and called Oliver and when he picked up, he heard an anxious voice ”Where is Rachel, the company profits.... give her the phone.”
Oliver didn't have any other choice but to go to her room and wake up. Jessica's panicked state was transferred to her as he woke Rachel up and said ”Quick wake up there is something wrong with the company, it's Jessica.”
Rachel who had just woken up took her time to process what was going around her as she was still feeling dizzy because of all the drinking and when she finally understood, she took Oliver's phone with her eyes open wide ”Dammit this man is really cunning.”
She then asked Jessica ”What did he do?”
Jessica told her about the situation and she said ”I have already set up my company over here and it has taken the top place in the market that is why I was a little relaxed and this sly fox just couldn't let go of an opportunity. Now that it has come to this and I have achieved what I wanted to here, I will return back.”
She then called her other assistant and said ”Talk to Mr. Bain in the morning and tell him that I had to leave due to an emergency at my company. Tell him that I will be coming here more often in the future and we will meet again. Now I will leave everything over here to you but I will have my eyes on all the work so I don't want anything to go wrong or it will cost you your job.”
He replied ”Don't worry Ma'am, I won't let you down.”
”I hope not.”
She cut the call and made arrangements for her private helicopter which she had bought with the profits she had made which arrived within half an hour and it was enough time for her to pack. She looked at Oliver and asked ”Do you want to come with me or will you return later.”
He replied instantly ”I will come back later as I still have to work on this project that I have signed.”
Rachel nodded with a smile ”Alright then, you should take care of yourself and when you return please arrange for the security of the apartment because I could not do that as you can see I have to rush back in a hurry.”
He nodded ”Don't worry I will take care of everything, if you need any help, just let me know and I will be there.”
She smiled and nodded her head and then returned back to her company in the helicopter which landed on the her terrace. Once she was there, she rushed to her office and the main staff was called in too. She assessed the situation and began to act accordingly fighting with all her might, she was too tired but she did not take a break since the time she had received the news, she had been trying to reverse the situation but it was not improving at all.
Rachel's mood was dangerous and anyone who went into her office to talk to her came out crying but they had no choice but to bear with it and when they could not take it, they went to look for Jessica who was busy working too.
Seeing so many people approaching her, she looked up and asked ”What's wrong, why are you here?”
