Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1684

“Aren’t there any servants here?” After passing the yard and entering the house, Rachel noticed that she hadn’t seen a servant.

“No.

Mr.

Gibson enjoys the quietness of being alone.

Besides, the project is very confidential.

Hence, we didn’t bother hiring any servants,” the assistant explained.

Rachel’s brows furrowed, wondering who would take care of Alberto if there were no servants.

The assistant seemed to have read her mind, so he added, “Mr.

Gibson doesn’t like being looked after all the time.

In fact, even when he was in Trevinia, he lived alone.

It’s not a problem for him to have no servants.”

Rachel was eventually convinced.

Afterward, the assistant went to the kitchen to get some water for Rachel and Alberto.

Meanwhile, as Rachel entered the living room with Alberto, she took the liberty to sit on the couch.

The next moment, she heard Alberto’s deep, hoarse voice.

“I want to thank you for last time.”

Rachel was quite taken aback.

But then she soon realized what he was talking about.

“Oh, it’s nothing.

I would have done the same thing to other people.

Please don’t mention it.”

Subconsciously, Rachel wanted to keep him at arm’s length.

Alberto also knew what she was going for, so her words imperceptibly made his eyes darken.

“Dewey told me that you didn’t bring any clothes?” Alberto asked out of nowhere, breaking the awkward silence.

“Dewey?”

“Oh, it’s me, Miss Bennet.

You can just call me Dewey,” Alberto’s assistant said, returning to the living room with water and glasses in his hands.

Then, he put one before Rachel.

“Please have some water, Miss Bennet.”

Rachel shifted her gaze back to Alberto and explained, “Well, I didn’t expect to stay here, so I only brought my stuff for work.”

Nodding lightly, Alberto turned to Dewey and instructed, “Drive downtown and buy some clothes for her.”

“Yes, sir.”

After Alberto took a sip of water, his voice cleared a little.

“Your bedroom will be on the left side of the second floor.

You can put your belongings there.”

Rachel felt a bit uneasy when she heard that she needed to stay in the villa.

She didn’t realize that it was real until Alberto confirmed and informed her about the bedroom where she would be staying.

Nonetheless, she understood why Alberto had to let her stay.

The project hadn’t been announced publicly and was still under tedious planning.

Therefore, a lot of things must be kept confidential.

Keeping those people involved around him would be the safest thing to do.
