Chapter 380:


    This strategy of killing two birds with one stone delighted Yvonne. Now, all she had to do was wait for both Andres and Brian to show up, hopefully one right after the other.


    As they finished setting up, the doorbell signaled Andres’s arrival. Rachel opened the door and said with a smile, “Mr. Garrett, thank you for making the trip. Please,e in!”


    “I happened to be in the area for work, so the timing was perfect.” Inside, Rachel served him a ss of water.


    Taking the ss, Andres said with concern, “You seem a bit under the weather. Are you alright? You look somewhat pale.”


    “A bit, yes.”


    Rachel couldn’t hide her paleplexion.


    Once the table was ready, Yvonne waved Andres over. “Mr. Garrett, have a seat and enjoy the meal I made for you.” At that moment, Yvonne’s phone interrupted with a ring.


    Leif was on the line.


    Under the stern watch of Norton, he reluctantly said, “Mrs. Burke, Mr. Burke insists that if you’re not at the airport within the next thirty minutes…”


    With Edmond’s support behind her, Leif was clearly reluctant to cross Yvonne.


    “What else? Just say it!” Yvonne urged, her anxiety rising.


    “He says you might as well not bother returning to work.”


    Yvonne’s anger red at the threat.


    “Alright, tell him I’m on my way,” she retorted, her anger evident. Quickly exining the situation to Andres, Yvonne snatched her purse and hurried off to the airport.


    Meanwhile, Norton had already been waiting there for thirty minutes.


    Did he really stay just to ensure she woulde?


    Clearly, he was adamant about having her pick him up.


    Back at Rachel’s, she and Andres had barely begun their meal when the doorbell echoed through the apartment. Jeffrey, nearest the door, sprang up to answer it.


    Peering through the peephole, he eximed, “Rachel, it’s your boyfriend!”

    Rachel barely managed to whisper, “Don’t let him in,” but Jeffrey had already swung the door open, cheerfully greeting, “Brian!” Stepping aside, Jeffrey gave Brian space to enter.


    Brian stepped in and immediately noticed Andres seated at the table.


    Andres also raised his eyes to meet Brian’s gaze.


    Their eyes locked.


    Brian’s look was piercing and daunting, as if he was ready to challenge anyone who crossed his path.


    On the other hand, Andres offered a gentle, inviting stare.


    “Why is he here? I thought Yvonne was looking after things?” Brian directed his question at Rachel, his voiceced with jealousy.


    Rachel had no ns to respond, but Jeffrey, sensing potential confusion, quickly interjected.


    “It was Yvonne who was helping out, Brian, but she had to rush off for an emergency.”
