Chapter 102

작가: Tina Peach
Tyler leaned back leisurely in the bathtub, which was clearly too short for his height of almost six feet three.

"I remember you wanted to pay me for a one-night stand. Now, it's my turn."

In her panic, Rachel turned to switch the lights on before turning back to look at Tyler, her guard up. "What do you mean by that? Are you going to pay me for a one-night stand?"

Tyler's eyes narrowed, an unfathomable look in his eyes that made him look wilder and more sensual than usual.

"You're the cause of all this mess. Shouldn't you be held accountable for it? And you still want me to pay you? Dream on."

Rachel's eyes widened. "Are you asking me to sleep with you for nothing in return? That's too much!"

She had seen her fair share of stingy people, but she had never seen someone as shameless as Tyler, who refused to pay even a single cent.

Tyler rubbed the bridge of his nose, chuckling at Rachel's words. "Why don't you name a price, then? 150 thousand dollars? 300 thousand dollars?"

    The nurse immediately frowned upon hearing that the IV needle had to be adjusted. She was clearly irritated."Didn't I tell you when I first inserted the needle not to move around? Why don't any of you listen?"Rachel didn't get angry at first. She understood it wasn't easy for medical staff these days, juggling shifts and overtime. Being in a bad mood was understandable.She apologized politely. "I'm really sorry. I moved a little without noticing. Could you please adjust it for me?"The nurse walked over and grabbed Rachel's hand a little too forcefully, causing Rachel to cry out in pain."Oww!"The nurse frowned even more. She raised her voice."Now it hurts, huh? Why weren't you concerned when you were moving around earlier? Do you have any idea how busy we are today? We don't have the time to reinsert IV drips for every careless patient!"Rachel bit her lip and said nothing, figuring it was better to let things go.The nurse continued muttering as she prepared a new needl

    They fell down together.Rachel gasped in pain as the IV needle in the back of her hand was pushed in even deeper.It wasn't the kind of pain that caused numbness. It was the kind that zeroed in on one spot and felt ten times worse.Tyler heard her gasp and instinctively looked over. "What happened?""Nothing. The needle got pushed in. It hurts a little." Rachel gently lifted her hand and rested it on the blanket.Tyler pressed the call button. His gaze was fixed on her rapidly swelling hand. "Are you dumb? If you couldn't reach, just say something. I could've bent forward a little."Rachel's hand still throbbed with pain. The sharp, piercing ache hadn't faded at all. She hadn't expected him to comfort her, but did he really have to snap at her like that?Did he not realize how scary he looked when he was angry? His expression was downright murderous, and his voice was cold and harsh.Rachel didn't even know why, but the tension that had been building up inside her suddenly bur

    Why was Tyler calling at this hour?Rachel took a deep breath. She hesitated before finally sliding her finger across the screen to accept the call."What is it?""There's still one detail about tomorrow's team-building event that hasn't been finalized. Come here for a bit," Tyler said.Rachel frowned. She had been the one who drafted the entire proposal for Oasis, so it wasn't unreasonable for Tyler to call her. But there was a problem."I'm in the hospital right now.""Oh? What a coincidence. So am I."He still sounded as nonchalant and flippant as ever.Rachel was stunned. Were people scheduling joint hospital visits these days?She didn't bother to ask questions. Work came first."I'm at City Hospital, Ward 204.""The room next to William's?" Tyler sounded surprised.Rachel felt a little awkward. "Yeah."Tyler couldn't help but laugh."You two are a real piece of work. William's in the next room fawning over Samantha, while his legally wedded wife's just left to fend

    The way William looked now was nothing like the cold, distant expression he had worn in the office earlier that day.As Samantha chewed on a slice of apple, she cast a mildly concerned glance at William. "William, do you think Rachel's going to be upset you dumped all my work on her?""She won't," William replied casually. "Rachel can't sit still. Back when we worked together, she wouldn't even agree to leave early if you asked her. She insisted on working overtime."Rachel felt nauseous. There was a bitter taste in her mouth.She had never enjoyed working overtime.Back then, William had said his position at the company was unstable and he couldn't trust anyone else with critical project work. He had begged her to take it on personally. For the sake of his dream, she had worked late nights and pulled all-nighters more times than she could count.But clearly, he had long forgotten all of that. He had forgotten how he had once gently asked for her help.Cecilia was about to explo

    Rachel endured the pain in her stomach and reflexively clenched her jaw.Everyone knew that the stomach was most affected by your emotions. People prone to anger or sadness were often the ones who suffered most in this regard.That was exactly how she felt now.Her fingers trembled slightly as they tapped on the keyboard.[I'm not feeling well. Let her handle it herself.]William replied:[She's on an IV drip right now. It's inconvenient. By the time she finishes cross-checking the data, it'll be way too late. You're a senior employee. This kind of thing shouldn't be a big deal for you.]Rachel smiled bitterly. She finally understood the phrase 'the squeaky wheel gets the grease'.She was the kind of person who didn't know how to cry. Even when she did, she'd pretend she was fine. Naturally, William assumed she was made of steel and that she could handle anything.She sent another message to try to make it clear.[I'm seriously not feeling well. My stomach really hurts.][Di

    Back when she used to think about all of it, Rachel felt like those memories were her biggest source of motivation. But now, looking back, it all felt like some kind of joke.As she stepped out of the office, she ran into Samantha, who was holding a tray of coffee and clearly on her way in. Samantha gave her a polite nod."Hi, Rachel.""Mm." Rachel gave a short response and was about to walk past her.But Samantha suddenly grabbed her arm lightly. Her voice was soft and delicate. "Rachel, I think William already talked to you, right? He asked you to look out for me during the team-building event."Rachel was already irritated, and no matter how hard she tried to keep a lid on it, her signing still came across harsh. "Are you still a child? Can't you take care of yourself?"Samantha didn't say another word.-After lunch, Samantha brought fruit teas for everyone in the office except Rachel."Rachel," she said, putting on her innocent act. "I remembered you prefer coffee. But my
