“Ding!”
The phone rang twice before Rachel picked it up. She said coldly, “Who is it?”
“Ms. Wallace, I’m Connor!”
Connor replied with a smile.
“I know you’re Connor. So you do know how to call me? Although I promised you before that you wouldn’t have to ask for leave from me, what on Earth are you thinking by suddenly disappearing for so long?”
Rachel’s voice carried a trace of anger.
“Ms. Wallace, I ran into some trouble a while ago—I was in a coma for a month and only woke up today. After I woke up, I contacted you immediately…” Connor hurriedly explained.
“You were unconscious for a month?”
After Rachel heard Connor’s words, she could not help but be stunned for a moment. Then, she asked with a puzzled expression, “How did that happen?”
“What else could it be? I met an assassin…”
Connor casually lied.
“Is it one of Rockefeller’s people?”
At this moment, Rachel’s voice had clearly softened a lot, and she even sounded a little concerned.
“I’m not sure who it was exactly, but fortunately, I was lucky. When I was escaping, I accidentally hit my head, but I saved my life. Because I was worried that the killer would find me again, I haven’t contacted anyone during this period of time…”
Connor said all this nonsense with a straight face.
Rachel seemed to not believe Connor’s words and asked in a doubtful tone, “Really?”
“Of course it’s true. Why would I lie to you about such things?”
Connor hurriedly shouted and then continued, “Ms. Wallace, if you don’t believe me, let’s meet up. I’ll explain everything to you face to face.”
Connor felt that it was better to ask Rachel for help in person. His intentions might not be clear over the phone.
“Where are you now? I’ll go and find you!”
Rachel hesitated for a moment before asking softly.
“I’ve already been discharged from the hospital. Why don’t we meet somewhere else? It’s all thanks to you that I haven’t returned to school for so long. Otherwise, I would have been expelled long ago, so I’ll treat you to a meal to thank you for your care.”
Connor said with a smile.
“…”
On the other end of the phone, Rachel smiled disdainfully and then said lightly, “Alright, let’s meet at the western restaurant from before!”
“Alright!”
Connor hurriedly replied after Rachel agreed to his request. Then, he hung up the phone, changed into a new set of clothes, and ran out of the villa in a hurry.
After leaving the villa, Connor suddenly found that his body had completely recovered. Not only had he recovered, but he could also feel that his speed, strength, and agility had been greatly improved. It was quite a magical feeling.
“I didn’t expect that the medicinal pill that old man gave me to eat would actually have an effect!” Connor couldn’t help but think. Then, he flagged down a taxi and rushed to the western restaurant near the school.
As it was the weekend, Rachel chose to meet Connor at the restaurant.
When Connor arrived at the restaurant, he found that there were many students in the restaurant, and most of them were couples, giving people a very charming feeling.
After Connor entered the restaurant, he saw Rachel sitting by the window.
Today, Rachel was wearing a short black skirt. Her sexy figure looked especially charming under the short skirt. Her slender and fair legs were of moderate thickness. She was wearing black stockings and a pair of high heels. Her exquisite face and black curly hair gave off an indescribable temptation.
At this moment, Rachel was holding her cheek with one hand and holding her phone with the other, looking at the scenery outside the window.
Today, Rachel was more noble and elegant than usual, but less seductive.
Connor took a deep breath and then directly walked towards her.
After hearing the footsteps, Rachel turned her head and looked at Connor indifferently. Then, she asked softly, “Connor, didn’t you say that you were injured? Where are your wounds?”
“I suffered internal injuries, and the wounds weren’t really visible. I accidentally hit my head when I was escaping. Although it wasn’t a big deal, I fainted!”
Connor explained with a smile as he sat opposite Rachel.
“…”
Rachel sized up Connor. She was a very smart woman. She could naturally tell whether Connor was lying or not.
However, Rachel did not choose to expose Connor because she knew that there were some things that Connor would not tell her.
“Ms. Wallace, what do you want to eat today? Hurry up, it’s my treat today, so don’t hold back!”
Connor took the initiative to hand the menu to Rachel.
Rachel didn’t even look at the menu. “Alright, Connor, don’t put on an act with me. If you have anything to ask of me, just say it. I don’t like to beat around the bush!”
After Connor heard Rachel’s words, he couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he asked with an awkward expression, “Ms. Wallace, how did you know that I have something to ask of you today?”
“Why else would you be so kind as to treat me to a meal? You can’t hide from me now…”
Rachel rolled her eyes at Connor.
“Haha…”
Connor couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly. Then, he said, “You’re really smart. Since you’ve already made it sound so ridiculous, then I won’t beat around the bush. I do have something to ask of you!”
“Tell me, what is it?”
Rachel said casually while playing with her phone.
“It’s like this…”
Connor told Rachel everything about the subway project.
After Rachel heard Connor’s story, she nodded thoughtfully and asked in a puzzled tone, “I understand what you mean. In order to deal with the people from Rockefeller, you want to take down this subway project, but I don’t understand how I can help you with this matter. I’m just a university lecturer. I don’t know anything about the business world!”
“Ms. Wallace, of course you can help me. Do you know who the boss of the subway is?”
Connor hurriedly said.
Rachel didn’t know much about the business world, so she frowned and asked, “Who is it?”
“Joey Shaw—Commander Shaw’s younger brother!” Connor replied.
After Rachel heard Connor’s words, she finally understood Connor’s true intentions and lightly smiled. “Oh, I see!”
“Yes, that’s the situation!”
Connor smiled and nodded.
“Then I’m sorry, I can’t help you!”
Rachel’s expression suddenly changed to a cold one.
