"Mr.Sullivan?"
The assistant's pupils dilated when she saw the man wearing sunglasses in front of her.
"But isn't he...?"
The man slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing his captivating dark brown eyes.
Even though Rachel exposed his identity so directly, it didn't seem to bother him.
"Rachel, my sister-in-law," the man greeted with a smile.
"I'm surprised that I still can't hide from you." Odin still looked the same as he did before, but he looked
more mature than he was in the past.
"I divorced Victor four years go," Rachel replied in a flat voice.
Even though she and Odin had never met before, for some reason, Rachel felt uncomfortable around
him.
The fact that he regarded her as Victor's wife got on her nerves.
Her intuition told her that she should minimize contact with this man as much as possible.
The man who supposedly died two months ago was now standing here, alive and well.
He even came back to Apliaria using another identity.If he were to claim that he had no ulterior motives,
nobody would believe him.
But no matter what Odin was planning, it had nothing to do with her.
Rachel didn't want to get involved in the Sullivan family's internal strife.
"Sorry, I almost forgot about that." Odin apologized.
"Miss Bennet...My apologies."
This time, Rachel didn't say anything.
"Are you mad at me? I didn't mean to do it," Odin remarked.
"No, I'm not," Rachel replied indifferently.
"I just didn't expect that Kyle would be you."
The way she said those words made it seem like she wasn't surprised at all.
"I'm not the real Kyle," Odin responded.
"Just like you said before, Kyle was one of the victims of a terrorist attack about a month and a half
ago.He was grievously injured and he's been unconscious for over two weeks.Even until now, he still
hasn't recovered.I'm a friend of Kyle.The Tucker Group is planning to develop its operations in the
domestic market.It's a difficult task, and there's no other suitable man to lead the project, which is why I
decided to do him a favor."
Rachel nodded in response.She didn't bother to think about the truth of Odin's words.She stared at the
glass of red wine in her hand.
The purpose of Odin's return this time was no mystery to her.
It wasn't as simple as he stated it to be, and she knew that she shouldn't get involved.
For that reason, she figured that the cooperation between the Bennet Group and the Tucker Group
might not push through.
These days, the employees of the Bennet Group had been busy.
Rachel felt really bad for them.
But compared to getting involved with the Sullivan Group's internal strife, giving up early was the best
decision.
After a moment of silence, Rachel looked up, seeming like something dawned on her.
"I've got things to do.Welcome to Apliaria, Odin.I'll be taking my leave now."
Having said that, she dragged her dazed assistant out of the banquet hall.
Meanwhile, Odin just stood rooted to his spot.
He didn't utter a word, nor did he try to stop Rachel.
After a while, a man in black came up from behind him and asked, "Shall I stop her?"
"Hmm?"
Odin raised his eyebrows.
"For what reason would you stop her?"
The man in black was stunned.
He couldn't figure out what his master meant.
"Why not, sir? She knows your real identity.If she tells Victor about it once she's out of here, it could be
troublesome for you."
"She's not going to tell Victor," Odin replied with certainty.
Once more, the man in black was befuddled.
Qdin put on his sunglasses again, and said nothing more, The black car drove steadily across the
highway.
The assistant was sitting in the passenger seat, looking behind her from time to time.
Rachel leaned against the window.
Her eyes were closed as if she was sleeping.
"What do you want to ask?" Rachel asked with her eyes closed when she noticed that her assistant
looked at her again.
"Miss Bennet, are you awake?" the assistant asked back.
Rachel opened her eyes, stared at her assistant and replied, "You've been glancing at me a few times.I
can't fall asleep even if I want to.Just tell me, what is it that you want to ask?"
"I..."
The assistant thought of how Odin took off his sunglasses and called Rachel his sister-in-law.
After a moment of hesitation, she said, "No, I don't have anything to ask.I'm sorry, Miss Bennet.I'll stop
looking at you.Get some rest, please.We're still a little far from the company."
Rachel sat up straight and rubbed her temples.
"Well, if you don't want to ask, then forget it.Once we get back to the company, I need you to work
overtime for a little bit to send a letter to the Tucker Group with regards to the termination of our
cooperation with them."
"You want me to send a termination letter? Miss Bennet, are we not going to cooperate with them
anymore?"
The assistant was shocked.
"We're not going to push through with it.However, the bonus will still be given to everyone."
Rachel wanted to stay away from the members of the Sullivan family as far as possible.
Since she knew that Odin was related to the Tucker Group, even though she wasn't sure what his
purpose was, it was better to terminate the cooperation with them in advance.
Upon hearing this, the assistant looked at Rachel anxiously.
"But you've been working on that project for a long time! We've finally reached an accord with
them.Isn't it a pity to give up so easily?"
"You're right, it is a pity!"Rachel responded.
"If you think it's a pity, Miss Benet, then..."
"We still have to terminate the contract."
Rachel was so stern that that the assistant was rendered speechless.
The assistant was disappointed and confused.
But when she thought of Rachel's connection to the Sullivan family, she connected the dots.
‘Is it because Miss Bennet doesn't want to get involved with the Sullivan family? After all, everyone in
the company knows that she really loved Victor"
Though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she had heard it from the senior workers.
‘Does Miss Bennet still have feelings for Victor? Odin is Victor's younger brother.If this project were to
continue, Rachel would inevitably have contact with the Sullivan family.
Will Rachel be sad if she sees anyone from the Sullivan family? The assistant was really curious about
this matter.
After pondering on it, she finally decided to ask, "Miss Bennet, how did you figure out that Kyle is
actually Odin? Didn't they say that Odin is already dead?"
The assistant’'s voice trailed off.It was as if she feared that she had said something wrong.
"Have I not told you about that yet?"
The assistant was stunned.
She rubbed her chin and muttered, "Have you told me?"
Rachel turned her gaze towards the window and stared at the passing scenery.
"Kyle has been seriously injured and has been comatose for over two weeks.If you think about it, it's
strange that he can manage to recover in less than a month."
