Chapter: 1030

She had opened a few packages before she found Katie's food. Rachel excitedly turned around and said, “Look, Katie, I found your food!"

As she was opening the package, a man's face came into view.

Rachel's smile disappeared. She looked stunned.

When did Victor come in? Why didn't she notice it at all?

When Rachel looked down, she didn't see Katie. It seemed that the cat had already left. She turned around to look at Victor, and it dawned on her.

When she entered Joey's room, she didn't leave the door ajar. Victor opened it just wide enough to let Katie in. He used the cat to distract Rachel and put her defenses down.

Rachel's eyes turned cold when she realized the underhanded way

Victor had employed to get to her.

“Mr. Sullivan, do you still have the habit of entering someone else's room casually?" Rachel's tone was harsh, her voice was clear but cold.

Victor looked Rachel in the eye and then said, “Rachel, we need to talk."

Rachel took a step back and held the cat food in her hand tightly.

She paused a while before she said in a composed tone, "We have nothing to talk about. I want to rest now so please go out." He avoided eye contact with him. Yet, she was alert and on guard against Victor's approaching.

“Rachel—"

“If you won't go out, I will," Rachel cut in. She put the cat food on the table, went around Victor, and started walking to the door.

Victor moved toward Rachel and attempted to grasp her wrist to stop her from going out. But he stopped himself.

Rachel held the doorknob and pressed it down. The door was partly opened when she heard Victor's voice, which was low and deep. Hearing his apology had stirred her feelings.

"I'm sorry for what happened that night." Victor said, his eyes on

Rachel's back.

Rachel tightened her grip on the doorknob, acting like she didn't hear a thing. Victor's apology reminded her of what happened that night in the Waterfront Hotel.

She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. Feeling calmed down, she told Victor, "I accept your apology. And I hope you won't forget what you have promised."

Rachel then turned around and looked at Victor.

"You have told me that you wouldn't have to lay eyes on me. Please keep your word, Mr.

Sullivan."

She was not stupid. She knew she had complicated emotions towards
