Captivation: Want Nothing But You

Chapter 186 Good News And Bad News

Crack!

A ceramic spoon fell on the floor with a crisp sound.

"Miss Bennet, are you okay?" Hearing the noise, Lukas quickly turned around.

Rachel stood there, her face pale and her hands trembling. She hadn't expected the sudden news, and it had taken her by surprise, causing her to drop the spoon.

"Lukas, I'm fine," Rachel said, forcing a weak smile. She bent down to pick up the broken pieces, but Lukas stopped her.

"Please, let me handle this," he insisted, gently guiding her away from the mess. "You should sit down."This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Rachel nodded and allowed herself to be led to a nearby chair. She sank into it, her mind racing with thoughts. The news she had just received was overwhelming, and she needed a moment to process it.

"Miss Bennet, do you need anything?" Lukas asked, his voice filled with concern.

Rachel shook her head. "No, Lukas. Thank you. I just... I need a moment."

Lukas nodded and retreated, giving Rachel the space she needed. As she sat there, her mind wandered back to the conversation that had just taken place. The good news and the bad news. She wasn't sure how to feel.

The good news was that there had been a breakthrough in the project she had been working on. It was something she had been striving for, and the success was a huge relief. But the bad news... the bad news had overshadowed her joy.
