Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1706

Ethan fixed his eyes on Rachel, and it was only then that he saw her face clearly.

His face was filled with astonishment.

He had to admit that Karen was correct about one thing.

Rachel was so beautiful that she could stun anyone at first glance.

At this moment, Karen chimed in, “Rachel, please don’t take what I said just now to heart.

Ethan and I have been friends for a long time.

In fact, we were classmates from elementary to college.

We are used to always teasing each other.”

Rachel just smiled without saying anything more.

“Karen, why don’t you take Rachel in? Everyone is waiting in the conference room.

I just need to get some documents in my office,”

Ethan urged Karen while looking at his watch.

Karen suddenly remembered why she left the conference room earlier.

She patted her forehead and exclaimed, “Oh, right! Rachel, we must go to the conference room now.

This is Mr.

Gibson’s first time joining the meeting.

We can’t be late.”

As she spoke, she pulled Rachel into the conference room while quickly explaining the situation of the entire project team.

“At this moment, we are almost done with the preliminary preparations.

We have also started investing in technical support.” While explaining, Karen was completely different from the woman teasing Ethan earlier.

She was plain-Looking, but she exuded a unique charm.

She was also energetic.

“Our next step is to check the various components of the project to identify any issues and provide real-time solutions.

It may sound easy.

But actually, we have to consider many unexpected situations.

Basically, everyone has to be on standby for a long time.

And brainstorming happens almost every day.”

At this moment, Karen and Rachel arrived at the door of the huge conference room on the second floor.

The door was ajar.

Karen turned to Rachel and placed her index finger in front of her lips, hinting at Rachel to keep quiet.

Then, she peeked through the crack for a while.

After seeing everything inside, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She chuckled and said to Rachel, “Okay, let’s go in.”

Rachel looked at Karen in confusion.

Karen seemed to have read her mind, so she explained, “I checked if Mr.

Gibson was already inside.

Fortunately, he hasn’t arrived yet.

Because if he is already inside, it will be very embarrassing to enter under everyone’s gaze.

Mr.

Gibson might think I am slacking off, and he will have a bad impression of me.”

Karen pouted and continued, “I am hoping for a wage increase after this project.

If it doesn’t happen because of such a trifle, I will suffer a big loss.”

Rachel was amused while listening to Karen.

She thought Karen was pretty interesting.

Rachel was still lost in thought when Karen pushed the door open and led her into the conference room.

She put down her laptop, cleared her throat, and announced, “Hey, guys.

Look over here! See who’s with me.”

The others who were busy checking the data they were responsible for raised their heads and looked at Karen.

A man sitting on the couch at the back and calculating with a pen frowned.

He raised his head and complained disgustedly, “Karen, can you be quiet?”

Karen glared at him.

“What are you talking about? Am I bothering you there? Besides, this is our conference room, not your private office.
