Chapter 85 Teasing the Straightforward Rhett

Chapter 85 Teasing the Straightforward Rhett

Rhett obviously looked very uptight.

Like a wooden puppet, he sat stiffly on the sofa, his limbs rigid.

He didn't even dare move his neck, his eyes staring straight at the wall.

This made Kenna, sitting nearby, absolutely delighted.

She kept teasing Rhett, laughing from time to time.

Rhett's face turned red, and like a student who had done something wrong, he sat even more properly.

"Mr. Morgan, how did you find this place?"

Elsie couldn't just call it surprising—she was shocked, looking at Rhett in disbelief.

Seeing Elsie come in, Rhett, whose face was red all the way to his ears, seemed to find his anchor. He jumped up with a swoosh and said with relief:

"...Ms. Moore, you're back."

Elsie nodded. She couldn't worry about asking Rhett how he knew her home address right now, and quickly invited him to sit down.

"Have you been waiting long? Please sit, let me make you some coffee."

"Of course he has. He's been sitting here for over half an hour, not knowing whether to stand or sit. If I hadn't been so welcoming, wouldn't this handsome guy have had to face the wall for half an hour?"

Kenna chimed in, looking Rhett up and down, a hint of mischief flashing in her eyes.

She naturally knew who Rhett was, but she never expected Rhett to be so shy, just like the boy next door.

"I... I'll leave soon."

Rhett's face reddened again, not even daring to look directly at Kenna.

Elsie felt a bit flustered. For someone from the Morgan family, the person in charge of the Morgan Group's project, to lower himself to visit her at a regular employee's home was already incredibly fortunate.

And Kenna had dared to tease him for half an hour—that was really bold.

Come to think of it, she'd never seen Kenna this interested in any guy all these years. Could she have fallen for Rhett, who wasn't even twenty yet?

Kenna and Elsie were about the same age, around twenty-four or twenty-five, in the prime of their youth. But it depended on who you compared them to. Compared to Rhett, there was some suspicion of taking advantage of someone younger.

"Mr. Morgan, tea or coffee?"

"Just water is fine, thank you."

With such an important person visiting, Elsie had to be attentive. While giving Kenna looks to tone it down, she quickly ran to the kitchen to pour a glass of water.

Rhett took a sip of water, collected himself, and looked at Elsie and Kenna sitting across from him.

"So tell us, Rhett, what brings you here? Oh, right, how did you know where I live? I forgot to ask earlier. Be honest, have you been secretly following me lately?"

Kenna pretended to be angry, though her lips kept a smile, asking directly about what both of them were most worried about.

Elsie was almost scared to tears. Kenna was really too bold. It was one thing to flirt with young guys normally, but to even dare provoke someone from the Morgan family.

But this time, she didn't stop her because she also wanted to know how Rhett had found them.

It was best if others didn't know where they lived, especially Daniel. When Elsie filled out her home address at the Wilson Group, she wrote down a random neighborhood instead of her real address.

This was to prevent outsiders from coming in and seeing the two children, to avoid word getting back to the Wilson family. Although there wasn't much chance that Daniel would come to her home, the matter of the two children needed to be kept strictly confidential, with no leaks whatsoever.

"There's a restaurant my family owns nearby. I've seen you and Ms. Moore walking in from here several times."

"You little guy, didn't see that coming—you're pretty smart, keeping an eye on the two of us. Now you'd better explain yourself, which one of us do you like?"

Kenna put her hands on her hips, chest out, and head up, looking all huffy.

She was wearing a casual white hoodie and jeans at home, her two long legs crossed on the sofa. Though her top was loose, you could still tell she was well-endowed, constantly radiating an alluring charm.

Kenna wasn't bad-looking. Compared to Elsie's more innocent appearance, Kenna looked more seductive and mature. Each had her own beauty.

Rhett had never encountered such a situation. His face immediately turned red as he stammered, "Well, it's not..."

"What do you mean by 'not'?"

Kenna's beautiful eyes widened as she pretended to be surprised: "Don't tell me you want both of us? I know the Morgan family has made a lot of money, but you can't be this greedy!"

As she spoke, Kenna sighed, pretending to be disappointed: "Fine, how about this—between me and Elsie, who looks prettier?"

Elsie almost spit out the water she'd just drunk.

Rhett looked seriously at both of them for a while, then finally pointed at Kenna with a red face. He couldn't get a word out for a long time, his face just getting redder and redder.

Elsie didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Even though he was from the Morgan family, no matter how young, kids from such families should have been immune to matters between men and women long ago. How could Rhett be so different?

And he pointed out, very directly, that Kenna was prettier.

This...

To point out to two girls that the other girl was prettier.

This kind of honesty was probably a first in Emerald City.

Elsie quickly took over the conversation, interrupting Kenna's teasing. After all, he was a guest, and a very important client at that.

"Mr. Morgan, you're very welcome in our home."

After the polite words, Elsie got straight to the point: "I actually wanted to go to the Morgan Group to find you today to discuss the partnership, but it was almost closing time, so I thought I'd come tomorrow instead. I didn't expect you to visit personally. I'm really sorry—I should have been the one to come find you."

"It's fine, solving the problem is what's most important."

Rhett waved his hand. When it came to work, his whole demeanor clearly changed.

Gone was the shy, uptight boy from before. Between his brows was an inexplicable confidence and focus as he said seriously:

"About what happened yesterday, I was also at fault. Chris has been following me around. If I hadn't come to the Wilson Group, none of this would have happened."

"Mr. Morgan, if I may, I'd like to ask you a question. There are no outsiders here."

Elsie said.

"Please go ahead, Ms. Moore."

"The Morgan Group is willing to partner with our company. I'm naturally very confident about our company's capabilities, but it seems like your desire to sign the contract goes beyond the contract itself. I'd like to ask you why..."

Elsie asked. Although Kenna had been joking earlier, it also confirmed that Rhett had no other intentions toward her.

This was very strange, and Rhett had been very deliberately helping her yesterday.

At that moment, she heard Kenna let out a soft sigh beside her.

Rhett glanced at Kenna, seeming to understand something.

He also sighed, saying wistfully:

"Once, there was someone..."
