Chapter: 1292
Rachel looked at her assistant and said nothing.
It was not that she was insightful. She just felt that something was fishy about Kyle. The first time she saw Kyle, she felt a sense of familiarity with him. This was the reason she had already doubted him even at the beginning.
While she was on her way to the banquet, Quintin told her that Kyle was attacked and injured a month and a half ago. When Quentin was done talking, Rachel looked at the ID photo of Kyle. Something struck her but it was a fleeting thought.
The terrorist attack.And it happened about two months ago..
Rachel felt weird about the coincidence of the time of the attack and Odin's return.
When Rachel arrived at the banquet hall, the first person she saw was Kyle who was standing not far from the entrance. He was talking to someone. Rachel immediately noticed the small green mole on his face and this reminded her of a blurry face.
"Miss Bennet, are we not going to work with Tucker?" The assistant spoke again. Her voice filled with reluctance and pity.
"No."
The reason for Odin's return was not simple. There was no need for her to put the Bennet Group in danger.
The assistant knew that Rachel wouldn't change her mind. She sighed and said, "I'll just go back and prepare the letter of termination.”
Rachel didn't say anything. She rolled down the window to let the cold wind and this sobered her up.
It was now late at night.
After putting Joey to sleep, Rachel went back to her room to take a shower. While drying her hair with a towel, she walked out of the bathroom. She then heard Quintin's voice on the phone that was on her bed.
She put on the Bluetooth headset and told Quintin what had happened earlier that night.
On the other end of the line, Quintin frowned. He couldn't understand
Rachel.
“Boss, I think Odin pretended to be dead and then sneaked back to Apliaria because of the Sullivan Group."
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Rachel rolled her eyes as she heard the distressed tone of Quintin. She asked, "Did you think long and hard about this? And you've reached this conclusion?"
"No. It was the recent incident of Sullivan Group in Baltimore that made me think about this." On his end, Quintin was seated before a table. He rested an elbow on the table and one hand supported his chin.
"Boss, Sullivan Group has always been prudent in their infrastructure projects. Every phase has been carefully studied and executed. When the incident happened, I happened to have time on my hands so I decided to check the inspections of the constructions in the past two years. And I must say that they have done a good job.
But it was different this time with the news about the jerry-built.
The falsified project data was exposed."
"You seem to be very interested in this matter. Not too long ago, you told me you were busy with other pressing jobs," said Rachel as she put the towel on the chair beside the bed.
"Yet, you have time— and you just said so yourself—-to check on the project information of
Sullivan Group. It seems that you're not busy after all."
