《Marriage of Benefits》Chapter 332 - Some time away (6)

She sat down next to him and he said "It's simple because she is a famous model and she must have told them to let them in for her press conference."
Rachel nodded "Sounds reasonable, I didn't think of that."
He tapped his head "It's because your head is always filled up with useless thoughts."
Rachel thought of how she kept thinking if something strange going on and a part of her memory missing. She thought of how she kept thinking about the things that were not actually present and she replied "Maybe you are right."
She then thought that she needed a break from all this and have a day of fun just to relax herself. She then looked at Oliver and said "I am thinking of taking a day off from everything and just go out to relax myself."
Oliver didn't respond immediately but after some time he said "Not bad but one day is not sufficient, let's go out this weekend, I will arrange for everything and I promise it will be worth it and you will be able to relax."
Rachel smiled "Thanks, I think that I really deserve this."
While they were talking Oliver's food came to his room and Rachel helped him with it. After he was done, she said "I have a meeting tomorrow so I need to go to sleep now."
Oliver nodded his head but there was reluctance in his gaze, Rachel asked confused "What is it?"
"I am not sure if I will be able to sleep after this incident."
Rachel nodded "Then ask them to change the room for you."
"When I checked in, I was told that this is the last room."
Rachel thought for a while "Have you unpacked your clothes?"
He shook his head "No"
"Good then, we can move right now to the apartment."
He gave her a look of disbelief "Or I could stay in your room."
"I am not sharing a room with you even if you are dying."
He placed a hand on his heart "Firstly that hurts and second I was thinking about exchanging the rooms because females won't be able to make a move on you."
Rachel nodded her head "You are right, I will sleep here tonight, go to my room."
She took him to her room, handed him the room key and taking few necessary things, she headed out warning him "If you touch any of my things I will kill you."

He smiled "We'll see"
She laughed and left the room. After reaching his room she quickly went to bed and as she was too tired, she immediately drifted off to sleep. The next whole week was tiresome as she began to set her company in a new market and without the support of the previous one. This was something she wanted to do by herself and without her parents supposed to she had asked her parents to not help her with anything, she was building this from the scratch and within a week she had made the progress that no one could and if this pace was to go on she would be on the top of the market within a month.
Jessica was really worried that if the person besides her kept working with this dedication then he would take over the market and Rachel would be left behind, she was stuck between two people she loved and she didn't know who to choose. She knew it would still take him more than a month to get ahead if Rachel as she was a really strong competition and by the time she would be back.
He told Jessica that when his company became stronger than the one she worked in she would have to leave it and come to him. Jessica had no idea how to stop this disaster but on the positive side he had not been in pain for a few days now so she didn't want him to stop working.
She just decided to call Rachel and warn her about her strong competition and let the latter deal with it. She finally came to this decision and called Rachel "Hey, how's everything going?"
Rachel sounded tired but excited "Everything is good but I am too tired."
"You should not be working all the time." she nagged
Rachel laughed "Don't worry, I am not working this weekend. Oliver had prepared a few things this weekend for me to relax and thinking about it is enough to make me feel good."
Jessica laughed "So you are going out tomorrow."
"Mnh, is there something you had to tell."
Jessica hesitantly spoke "Yeah, it is that you have to be very of a company named 'RRS'"
Rachel nodded then voiced out "You noticed that too, I have already been keeping a watch and working on our company, he is a strong opponent and if we let him be he will take our place in the market very soon so I have already been keeping an eye and planning everything."

Jessica was too shocked hearing her words, this company had not yet started making any moves or gaining any profits and to think that Rachel already noticed, she was just stunned at how sharp she was, she then said "I didn't notice it someone close to me and I him to not do this but he said that everyone had the right to business and now as you secretary it was my job to inform you."
Rachel smiled "You did a good job but to let that person not get into the business just to protect me was not a good idea. I would really like to fight a worthy opponent but you can't let that person know that I am already wary of him."
Jessica responded in a matter of factly tone "Off course not, I work for you not for him."
Rachel laughed and said jokingly "Good if you are aware."
Jessica said "Stop teasing me and be careful even while you are enjoying."
"Hmm"
She hung up the call and went to take care of the files she was working on talking to herself "Do I need to worry when I have the boss with extraordinary capabilities."
She then went to all the departments one by one to check the progress of the work with a smile on her face as she was no longer worried.
The situation in 'RRS' was way too intense as everyone was working hard day and night as their boss had signed for them that he would pay the extra money for their extra work. He could have already surpassed so many companies and if it were someone else he could have made his ultimate move by now and surpassed all everything to get to the top but this was a difficult situation to deal with. His opponent was too cleaver as they have already starting making moves and he was sure that they had noticed him.
He thought to himself with a smirk "I like a challenging opponent and to think that I had not had one in my lifetime. They were always easy to deal with and I was never discovered but you noticed me. When the time comes I would like to meet you."
He was too thrilled by this that he wanted to take a little break now that he had to change his strategy, he had to go out. Before he could go out Jessica came to his room and asked "Can you do this if we are in our country."
He looked confused "Why?"
Jessica looked at him angrily "How have you been quenching your thirst?"
He widened his eyes "How did you find out?"
When he didn't deny it Jessica was even more enraged "How many have you killed?"
He looked her sheepishly "About 20"
Her voice became loud "IN A WEEK!"
He didn't say anything for a while and then "I have been craving for it, I can not control myself but how did you find out."
Jessica showed him a picture "This body was found, I saw it in the news playing at the company and then I noticed the marks. You have to go back!"
He nodded "Alright I will but what will happen there."
"There are people with stronger souls and we will take care you don't suck it out whole and you can keep doing all this there."
He nodded "Do I have to go now."
She nodded "Any later and there will be trouble."
He didn't resist and went with her, she took her to her study and the doctors came to check him immediately but she could not stay and had to go back. She looked at him and said "I am leaving, take care and if you need anything just call me and don't go looking for trouble."
He nodded "I just feel that there is something that I have tasted and only that can fulfill my hunger."
Jessica's heart sank and she said what came first to her mind "Everything will be fine, you just have to be patient."
He didn't understand her words but still nodded and Jessica left the palace to enter into Rachel's empty office. She sank to the floor "I don't know for how long I can pretend."
