Chapter 871: 259: Boss’s Fancy Moves_6

Rachel Barton subtly furrows her brow.

Someone’s upset.

Mr. White is definitely upset.

He’s upset at Scarlett Taylor’s presumptuousness.

Oh Scarlett Taylor.

She doesn’t even realize how much she falls short when compared to Mr. White.

...

And yet she dares to hope of catching Mr. White’s attention.

It’s the very definition of a toad lusting after a swan’s flesh.

If it weren’t for Scarlett Taylor, Mr. White definitely would not have left suddenly. After all, when they used to eat together, Mr. White had never left before.

Even though Rachel Barton is a bit upset, she doesn’t show it.

She only regrets bringing Scarlett Taylor along today.

Originally, she could have had dinner alone with Mr. White.

Presumably, Mr. White would have been less bothered in that case.

Mrs. Zacks cheerily suggested, “Rachel, I know a local restaurant around here that’s pretty good, why don’t the three of us go try it out?”

“Sure.” Rachel Barton nodded, and turned to look at Scarlett Taylor, “Scarlett Taylor, what do you think?”

With Mr. White not there, Rachel Barton didn’t particularly want to have dinner with Mrs. Zacks.

After all, she wasn’t Mrs. Zacks’ ideal candidate for her sister-in-law.

Before, Rachel Barton used to think that Mrs. Zacks liked her so much because she saw her as a future sister-in-law, which is why she was so friendly with Mrs. Zacks.

But now, she had clearly understood the truth of the matter.

There was no need to behave as she did before.

Scarlett Taylor said, “I’m fine with anything.”

“Then should we go?” Mrs. Zacks suggested.

“Hmm.”

The three women arrived at the restaurant.

Mrs. Zacks was a regular here. She casually ordered a meal, even asking specifically about Scarlett Taylor’s preferences.

Once they had finished eating, Mr. White came to pick up Mrs. Zacks.

Mrs. Zacks even packed up a meal for him.

Mr. White looked at Rachel Barton and Scarlett Taylor, “Should I drop you two off at school first?”

“That would be great, thanks Uncle.”

“It’s on my way.” Mr. White’s tone was indifferent.

Rachel Barton glanced at him.

Under the street lights, the contours of the man’s face seemed even more enchanting.

Without thinking, she knew that Mr. White offered to give them a ride because of her.

After all, this wasn’t the first time.

If it was just Sherly with Mrs. Zacks for dinner today, then Mr. White most certainly would not have offered her a ride home.

A moment later, Mr. White opened the passenger side door.

Rachel Barton’s heart which had finally calmed down, began racing again.

Just as she was about to step into the car, Mrs. Zacks came over and sat in the passenger seat.

Rachel Barton was stunned.

She hadn’t expected this turn of events.

Wasn’t the passenger seat in Mr. White’s car reserved for her?

Before she could react, Scarlett Taylor said, “Rachel Barton, let’s go.”

Only then did Rachel Barton come back to her senses. She got into the car with a smile.

Originally, she could have sat in the passenger seat.

But now-

She could only squeeze into the back seat with Scarlett Taylor.

Rachel Barton even started to suspect that Mrs. Zacks did it on purpose.

Mr. White had clearly opened the car door for her, but then Mrs. Zacks went and sat in it.

Rachel Barton leaned back in her seat, looking at the driver’s seat in front of her.

She was directly behind the passenger seat, so she could clearly see Mr. White’s profile.

Just then, she saw an empty milk tea cup.

The cup was pink.

She recognized it instantly, it was from the milk tea shop that Viola Thompson frequented the most.

Why would a milk tea cup from Viola Thompson’s favorite shop appear in Mr. White’s car?

Mr. White most likely doesn’t drink milk tea, right?

Or could it be…

Was it something Viola Thompson forgot in Mr. White’s car when she was riding in it?

If that was the case, did Viola Thompson sit in the passenger seat at that time?

With that thought-

Rachel Barton felt something flipping over inside her heart.

No.

That’s impossible.

Viola Thompson already has a boyfriend. How could she sit in another man’s passenger seat?

It’s not like Viola Thompson is the only one in the world who drinks milk tea.

But if it wasn’t Viola Thompson.

Who else could it be?

If it was Mr. White’s cup, then why would he drink the same kind of milk tea as Viola Thompson?

Rachel Barton’s mind was a mess.

Just then-

The car came to a stop.

Mr. White turned around and reminded them, “Rachel, we’re here.”

“Thank you, Uncle, for driving us back,” Rachel Barton suppressed the jumble of thoughts in her mind, got out of the car, and politely thanked him, then turned to Mrs. Simons and said, “Goodbye, Miss Simons.”

“Goodbye, Rachel.”

Rachel Barton looked back towards Mr. White, who was in the driver’s seat. “Be careful on the road, Uncle.”

“Hmm.”

As soon as she finished her sentence, Mr. White drove away.

Only when the car was out of sight did Mrs. Simons say, “Junior.”

“Hmm?”

Continuing, Mrs. Simons said, “Why do I feel like Rachel was acting a little strange towards me today?”

She couldn’t exactly put her finger on what felt off.

Mr. White hadn’t paid much attention to it, “You’re overthinking it.”
