Chapter 14 You’re Messing With Me!
Rachel was shocked for a few seconds when she heard Jordan’s name.
As she heard how he called her by the other name, she became alert instantly.
Jordan smiled and reassured, “Rest assured, Selena. I didn’t spy on you intentionally. I guessed it when I happened to come across you and the Drew Research Institute’s staff in a meeting with Zane.”
She then remembered what happened during the day.
Jordan reached out his hand. “I know you haven’t officially started working with TN Group yet, so I think I should have a fair chance to compete on my own, right?”
Rachel couldn’t reject him. After all, he had helped her with the drunk men just now.
She shook hands with him. “Thank you for your help earlier, Mr. Yates.”
“No worries at all. I would still have helped if it was a random lady.” Jordan withdrew his hand instantly after a quick handshake. “This place is quite dangerous for all sorts of people here. I’ll walk you out, Rachel.”
“Thank you.”
As they were entering the elevator, someone rushed over. Upon seeing the scene, the person asked around for information and dialed Zane’s number. “You’re in trouble, Zane. Your competitor had just cut in on the deal.”
Rachel didn’t get into Jordan’s car. Instead, after exiting the club, she hailed a cab and left right away after arranging a time to chat with him on another day.
Rachel returned to her apartment, took a shower, and settled down. She wanted to give Nick and Allie a call since it was daytime over there.
However, she didn’t expect the doorbell to ring.
She thought it was her takeout.

Just as Rachel was about to fight back, her hands were firmly pressed against the top of her head, completely trapping her.

was struggling in anger, “You’ll be in the headlines tomorrow for breaking into a private residence if I call the police now. Are you okay with that, Mr. Jenkins?”
Tll reveal the fact that you’re actually ‘Selena‘ too then. Guess how will your father react?”

Zane stared emotionlessly at Rachel. Slowly approaching her face, he asked in a cold voice, “You kept me hanging here while you arranged a meeting with Jordan. Are you messing with me, Rachel?”
Rachel let out a chuckle. “You’re the one who’s messing with me, Zane. Remember how you left without saying anything right after the call just now? You think you can come around casually and discuss the project just because we know each other, huh? You didn’t meet my requirements, so why should I work with you? Let go of me!”
Zane was burning with frustration. “Are you having fun doing this?”
“You’d better get our relationship straight, Zane. Barging into someone’s apartment in the middle of the night, and asking questions like a man who has been cuckolded, don’t you think it’s childish?” She sneered. “I don’t have any written agreements with you now, so I have the authority to choose who I want to work with. You have no right to stand here and interrogate me like this.”
“Do you really think that I won’t do anything to you?” The veins on his forehead were bulging. He was clutching her hand so tightly as if he could snap her wrist immediately.
