Captivation: Want Nothing But You
Chapter 1686

“Mr.

Gibson, do you trust me so much?” Rachel failed to repress her curiosity and blurted it out.

“Shouldn’t I trust you?” Alberto answered with a question.

In fact, he shouldn’t have trusted her this much.

But of course, she couldn’t say it.

Rachel knew that she wouldn’t cooperate with Odin.

Even if Alberto kept her in this place, there would be no possible losses for him.

But somehow, she still felt guilty after receiving such a huge trust from Alberto.

Yes, she hadn’t done anything to harm Alberto, but she still was restless.

“Anyway, yes, I trust you,” Alberto replied firmly.

“Because I have something against you.”

Rachel breathed deeply, understanding what he implied.

“Did you agree to cooperate with Odin just because you wanted to hide my identity?” Rachel asked without thinking twice as her mind went blank.

However, right after she asked about it, she felt regretful, and there was no way to take back her words anymore.

Alberto didn’t answer and just stared at her.

Rachel regretted her question as soon as she said it, realizing how self-absorbed it sounded.

Surely, Alberto didn’t ask her to join the project for the sole purpose of helping her.

Feeling uneasy and embarrassed, Rachel looked away and cleared her throat.

“Please forget what I just asked.

I know it’s not-“

“Yes,” Alberto cut her off, answering the question.

“That’s the reason.”

Rachel bit her words back from the tip of her tongue, momentarily taken aback.

“Have you forgotten our deal?” Alberto tilted his head to the side, studying her reaction.

“Our deal?”

“I’ll help keep your identity a secret, and you’ll fulfill my request.

Didn’t we agree on that at the auction that day?” Alberto said indifferently.

Rachel finally remembered what he meant.

“Oh, so it was because of that…”

She trailed off, meeting Alberto’s gaze.

There was no need to mention the obvious, so she decided not to say more.
