She thought he was mocking now. Carson came from the wealthy Scott family. A single umbrella was worthless to them, and they would easily be able to replace it. Why did he suddenly want it back?

Carson’s answer destroyed any remaining hope she’d had that he was joking.
“I have,” Carson said with a sneer. He reclined against the seat, tilting his back against the headrest and lazily half-closing his eyes.
“My family has a rule; I am not to spend money on any woman aside from my wife.”
The woman’s expression pinched in humiliation. That was the final straw for her. She threw the umbrella to the ground and hurried away without another word.
Carson held his arm out the window and caught the umbrella before it hit the ground. He’d already stopped paying attention to the woman; now he was focused on Rachel.
“What’s the matter?” Victor said coldly, finally answering Carson’s calls after his third attempt.
“Mr. Sullivan, guess who I just saw,” Carson said teasingly.
Victor had been busy signing documents up in his office when he’d got the call. He briefly pulled his phone away from his ear to glance at the caller ID before he said, “Carson, have you been keeping busy? Or have you been idling along in your life again? The KD Group is in need of a manager if-“
“No, no, no. Absolutely not. I refuse to deal with such a ticking time bomb,” Carson cut in before Victor could finish his sentence.
“A ticking time bomb?” Victor asked in that low, rumbling voice of his.
Carson cleared his throat then said, “Isn’t it though? I know the directors of the Sullivan Group have been getting antsy with the projects again. My guess is that they’re going to try and get Odin to return under the pretext of acquiring a new project from the KD Group. It’s rather obvious that they favor Odin to be in charge of the project. I have no doubt that they and Odin would tear me apart if I tried to get involved.”

Victor remained silent, totally speechless by what he’d just said.

Carson shook his head to straighten out his thoughts. This wasn’t why he’d called Victor.
“Back to my previous statement; guess who I saw today,” he repeated, trying to get back on topic.
Victor’s hand clenched on his phone. His patience was starting to run thin.
“You have three seconds to cut the crap and tell me,” he growled.
“You’re so boring,” Carson groaned, disappointed that his fun had been ruined.
“I saw Rachel.”
Victor had been in the process of signing a document when Carson said her name. He stopped immediately, the point of the pen resting on the paper. The ink started to leak out the tip, creating a large, black blot on the crisp white page.
“Where?” Victor said coldly as he glanced out the window at the heavy rain. The weather didn’t look like it was going to let up any time soon. In fact, it only seemed to be getting worse.
Carson played with the umbrella, running his fingers over the metal supports and over the fabric. He raised his head and looked out the window, narrowing his eyes to be able to see through the rain.
“At the gate of a building in the Fifth District. It looks like she’s been shopping. She’s got a lot of bags and I think I can see a shopping list in her hand. Victor, you know she’s pregnant. Don’t you think it’s a bit much to send her to do so much shopping and expect her to carry it all? You could have at least sent a driver.”
I didn’t Victor swallowed past the angry lump forming in his throat. ask her to go shopping.”
“And do you really think she would have offered to do the shopping out of her own free will?” Carson said as he rested his elbow against the windowsill. He pressed his forehead into his hand and gently massaged his temple. He kept his eyes on Rachel, as if she was going to disappear at any given second.
