The Silent Wife

Chapter 251

Rachel initially didn’t hear her name being called. It was only until after someone tapped on her shoulder that she immediately returned to her senses. She blankly looked at the person who was behind her for a moment before she recognized the woman. “Lisa?”

Lisa looked at Rachel in shock. “What’s wrong, Miss Hudson? I have been calling you for so long, but you didn’t reply to me.”

When Rachel returned to her senses, she answered, “I’m alright. What brings you here?”

Lisa waved the file in her hand. “Mr. Beckham asked me to send this file to the meeting room. It’ll be referred to in the meeting later. Congratulations, Miss Hudson.”

“For what?”

“Why are you still hiding the truth?” Lisa smiled. “Everyone knows that the meeting this afternoon is about your promotion. We’re just waiting for the official announcement from the Human Resources department. I guess President Burton wants to announce the news for himself.”

Upon hearing that, Rachel froze slightly.

If Lisa hadn’t brought it up, she would’ve forgotten about the promotion that Justin mentioned.

The corners of Rachel’s lips slightly twitched upward. “You’re exaggerating. Even if there’s a promotion, I won’t be the one to get it.” So many incidents have happened recently. Justin already knows that I won’t be staying for long at the Burton Group. I’m sure I won’t receive the position of general manager in the company. At the very least, this is what I can predict.

She shot a glance at her watch as the traffic light opposite them turned green once again. “Let’s go. We are having a meeting soon.”

In the company’s meeting room, Frankie had just finished printing out the documents and distributing them.

Rachel arrived rather late, but she did not expect to meet Justin at the door.

Their glances met for a few seconds before she quickly shifted her gaze and she walked directly into the room, leaving a frowning Justin behind her.

“I’m sure everyone has some knowledge of the main topic of today’s meeting-the person who would be the general manager of Burton Pharmaceuticals.”

His low and smart voice reverberated in the room. For meetings appointing the person in charge of a subsidiary, the management team of the main group would be present. In this case, a few leaders from Burton Pharmaceuticals were also in attendance and she was one of them.
