《Marriage of Benefits》Chapter 343 - Celebration (3)
Advertisement
Rachel stopped in her tracks and for no reason her heart began to race as if that voice had some magical control over her. As all her memories of Robert had been erased from her mind so according to her this was the first she had this feeling. His voice was low and charming enough to have anyone throw themselves on him. Rachel started feeling nervous even though she had been preparing for it all day but eventually she took in a deep breath and turned around with a smile "So we do."
Robert had been preparing to meet this person and it was way to easy to talk to her back but as soon as that enchanting smile came into his view, he froze. It was as if he had been sent to some heavenly place and there was no denying that he was charmed by it but he quickly gathered himself "How about a dance with me?"
It was a ball so the dance was what most of the guests were doing but she could not just accept the offer like that so she smiled "I don't even know your name and you expect me to have a dance with you. I don't think we are that close and I prefer not to get close to strangers."
He laughed "Sure then let's have a chat before that but after that you will have to dance with me."
She had met this person for the first time so why did his laughter please her so much and give her a different sensation in her body, she had this thought in her mind but she pushed it aside as she spoke "Sure there is no harm, let's go to a quieter place."
He smiled his dangerously charming smile as he said "Lead the way."
Rachel heart raced at that smiled and to hide her embarrassment she quickly began to move out of the house towards the lawn. No one was there and it was extremely quiet so they could peacefully talk. As Rachel had now calmed down, she turned around to look at him and said "You have yet to tell me your name."
"Robert Smith"
Rachel nodded her head "I just want to know what was your reason for attacking my company."

Robert smiled "Why do you think I will tell you that?"
Rachel laughed "So you come all the way here just to see the person who had defeated you."
He smiled and stepped closer to her or it could be said that he stepped into a dangerous territory around her. If it was someone else, he would have been attacked but Rachel didn't know why, she was frozen and could not bring herself to attack. Her mind turned numb and she subconsciously took a step backwards "What are you trying to do?"
It didn't effect him, the distance that she had created was covered by him, he touched her cheek "What if I told you that I came here to meet you because I have never seen a person who interested me like this."
Rachel narrowed her eyes and slapped his hand away "Glad to hear that I could please you like that but let me warn you, if you want to live keep your hands to yourself."
He laughed and stepped back "You are indeed a special lady, a unique one so I will tell you something that this is the first time I was defeated and I just wanted to meet you in person."
Rachel smiled "Interesting so my question still stands why did you choose to destroy me."
He smiled and offered his hand "Have a dance with me and I will tell you."
One side of her lips curled up as she said "Why do I feel like this is just a trick to dance with me and my question will still be left unanswered."
He moved forward still offering his hand "The only way you can find this out is after you do it."
Rachel placed her hand in his "Why not anyways I won't be getting the answer but there is no harm in trying."
He offered a smile and without another word he took her into the house to the dance floor. Jessica and Jamie had been hiding and listening to their conversation so after the 2 went inside both of them came out. Jessica had an expression of shock on her face "My brother is too good."
Jamie laughed "He is and I don't think we will have to do any matchmaking."

Jessica nodded her head "Why didn't she notice anything different about him even when she was alone."
Jamie thought for a while before saying "I know it is because we have just erased the memories and not the feeling so when those feelings are present, she won't see anything different in him."
Jessica nodded "I get it but let's go inside and keep an eye on them, in case there is a disaster."
Jamie laughed and nodded her head as both of them went into the house to locate both of them dancing. Robert placed his free hand on her waist while the other one was still holding her hand. She felt a strange sensation run down her body warming her up and pulling her closer to him. She took in a deep breath and place a hand on his shoulder as he asked "Nervous"
She looked at him "Why would I be?"
He smiled "You weed taking in deep breaths."
She gulped "No, I am not nervous so let's dance because I want my answers."
He nodded his head as he elegantly began to dance with the rhythm of the song and she followed his lead. Robert who had had so many people to please him was shocked to be attracted to this person who was nothing like them. Maybe that was the reason because she was different, he wanted to get closer to her, he wanted to pull her and enjoy her slowly. He had never felt like this, everytime he was with a person, it was just to satisfy his hunger and he didn't care about enjoying of pleasing the person but this time he wanted it. He wished he could just take this person away with him but he was sure she would not agree so he pulled her closer to him while dancing.
Rachel's condition was no different she wanted the song to never end, the more he kept closing the distance between their bodies, the more she kept having a pleasant feeling. She wanted to pull his mask off and see his face, the handsome features which his mask was hiding but she didn't have the courage to say that out loud to the person. She was not as straight forward as his to ask him to remove his mask so she focused on enjoying the dance which was getting extremely hard as the time passed.
None of them spoke all the time as they danced together because of the tension they had been feeling inside their bodies.
After a long while the dance came to an end and Rachel said "Mr. Smith, now you have to tell me the truth."
He smiled and leaned in closer to her ear "I will leave out the details for you to figure out but in short I wanted to give this company as a present to my sister."
His words were slow and deliberate freezing Rachel to her spot, she was unable to move and the person in front of her left the house. She hurried behind him but before she could catch him, she had already disappeared and she didn't know why she felt disappointed. She had received the answer that she wanted so why was she sad of him leaving and who was this sister of her that this person loved so much to give her everything he worked for. She really felt happy for this person to have such a great brother.
Rachel's brain was messed up and she went inside with a not very happy mood as she had wished to see this person's face and was unable to do that. Oliver came to stand in front of her "Have a dance with me."
She smiled "Sure"
Oliver was more than happy to hear this but he was also worried now that Robert had come back. He wondered if he would have any more chances with Rachel but he still wanted to give it his all. After the dance he took her to meet his parents and they talked a little about business when Rachel said "You don't have to worry Oliver is my good friend so his dad will always be preferred in our company. We will talk about this later, why don't you enjoy the party."
Seeing them together Robert didn't know why but he wanted to beat this person up, he was about to smash the wall when Jessica came in "What are you doing, come let's go back."
He gritted his teeth and shook his head "No"
