Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1725

Rowells gaze on Rachel became more intense.

You seem to be quite detail-oriented.

The statement appeared harmless, but Rowells intention to test her did not go unnoticed by Rachel.

I try to be versatile.

Rowell examined the tea box in his hand, deep in thought.

It wasnt just a matter of being versatile.

It was more like she knew each persons preferences.

His coffee allergy wasnt exactly a secret, but his affinity for this particular type of tea was known to only a handful of people.

Given his position, disclosing too many personal preferences could potentially expose him to manipulation, despite his cautious nature.

So, he chose to keep those preferences concealed from the public eye.

Rachels choice of tea happened to align perfectly with his preferences.

However, she didnt seem to intentionally cater to his Likes.

It seemed like the tea was genuinely a fortunate coincidence.

For the first time, Rowell found himself unable to read someones intentions.

..

Library After the polite exchanges, the meeting was set to commence.

Klein had his head down and a firm grip on his pen, applying significant pressure to it.

The veins on the back of his hand swelled as he struggled to suppress his emotions.

Rowell took a sip of the tea and said, Miss Bennett, please begin the introduction.

To be honest, Ive only recently taken charge of this project, and there are still some aspects I havent fully grasped.

So, my introduction may not be as thorough as Id like it to be, Rachel said with a smile.

Thats why Id prefer to have my team member, Klein, handle the introduction.

With her statement, she turned to Klein.

Klein, too, was surprised.

He raised his eyes to meet hers.

Klein locked eyes with Rachel and he slowly rose from his seat, seemingly pondering what she intended to achieve.

He found her intentions somewhat inscrutable.

After all, he was the one who hadnt shown her any respect and looked down on her.

She should have aimed to embarrass him in front of the Health Bureau representatives.

However, she now entrusted him with the key introductory role in the meeting.

Kleins expression grew more thoughtful, showing a blend of confusion and surprise.

For a moment, he even wondered if he was being overly sensitive.

Whats the matter? Are you not prepared? Rachel asked when she noticed him sitting still, lost in contemplation.

Klein quickly refocused.

Im prepared.
