Chapter 133

Author: Tina Peach
"Come to my office after the meeting," William said.

Rachel lowered her gaze. She gulped before replying, "Okay."

William gave a few more instructions about the team-building event, then dismissed the meeting.

Samantha walked over to Rachel, clutching her folder. Her tone was meek and unsure when she spoke. "Rachel, if I've done something to upset you, you can just tell me. But you really didn't have to put Mr. Lewis on the spot in front of everyone."

Rachel frowned. "I'm not upset with you."

She had no interest in watching Samantha put on her act. Without another word, she turned and walked out of the conference room.

Cecilia noticed the gloomy look on Rachel's face. "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. I just need to go over there for a bit."

Rachel pushed open the door to William's office. He was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. The moment she stepped inside, the chill in the air was palpable. It felt so cold it made her back tense.

She knew William was angry. Of course he

    William's brows, which had just relaxed, tightened all over again. He didn't quite get it."Do you really have to quit? Is Samantha that unbearable?"Rachel couldn't help but scoff on the inside. Even now, after everything, Samantha was still the only thing on his mind. It was as if no matter what she did, it all came down to her not being able to tolerate Samantha.If he actually stopped to think about it, he'd realize it had nothing to do with Samantha. It wasn't Samantha she cared about. It was his attitude.There was no point bringing it up now. It was far too late for that.Rachel's face was emotionless. "This has nothing to do with her.""Then what? Are you planning to join LS Enterprise after the team-building event?"For whatever reason, William just wouldn't let it go.Rachel's patience had run thin. "Mr. Lewis, now's not the time to interrogate me. What you should be considering is whether or not to sign my resignation letter. That's the real issue here."William r

    "I'm not going," Rachel said. She wasn't exactly a key player anyway. If she showed up, Samantha would probably act like someone had stolen her spotlight. She'd get all flustered and dramatic like usual, and turn the whole thing into a scene.Cecilia nodded. "Honestly, that's a good call. There'd be less drama. Samantha will definitely be there. Just the sight of her is exhausting. She hardly brings anything to the table. All she does is flirt with Mr. Lewis. I seriously can't even deal with her."At that, Cecilia shot a glare toward Samantha, who was sitting a few rows back."I barely got you out of trouble last time," Rachel reminded her. "Don't stir things up again."Cecilia stopped immediately.When Rachel and Cecilia walked into the conference room, they nearly ran into William. His gaze brushed over Rachel's face for a second before he looked away. His expression went cold.Rachel quickly looked elsewhere and took her seat.William glanced around the room. "You're all fami

    Rachel let out a sigh. She finally understood that Tyler didn't worry about things like this at all.Only she cared.A married woman like herself getting caught in a scandal with her husband's nemesis. It didn't take much to picture how messy that situation would be.Tyler raised his eyebrows awkwardly."What? Is getting caught in a scandal with me something to be ashamed of? Do you know how many people want that? I don't even bother with them. Yet here you are acting as if the world is falling apart."Rachel knew it was pointless explaining it to him. He'd never understand. "It's nothing."Her proposal for LS Enterprise wasn't even finished yet, and now there were rumors involving her and Tyler.Once things went south, she'd be the one caught in the mess. All she could hope for was that she'd be able to hold out long enough."Thanks for letting me crash last night. I'm heading out now. There's more in the kitchen if you're still hungry."Rachel got up, picked up her empty pla

    "I-It was Samantha."Tyler sneered. "Well, at least you're honest. What else did Samantha say?""She said if I could get some spicy photos of the two of you, she'd give me a bonus."Tyler raised a brow. "How about you come inside now? I'll help you stage a few.""N-No need for that."Now that he'd been caught, he wouldn't dare actually ask Tyler for anything outrageous. He knew perfectly well why Samantha was offering so much money.It was because this man wasn't just anybody. If it were some average guy, she'd never offer that kind of cash. That was the key point."How much did she offer you?" Tyler asked."Seven grand," the guy said nervously, raising seven trembling fingers.Tyler thought for a moment. "I'll give you twenty one thousand. Photograph her instead."The guy looked stunned. "Twenty one grand?"He'd never seen that kind of money in his life. Most of the time, his jobs only paid a few hundred, and maybe a couple grand at most.Nobody had ever offered him this m

    Tyler's deep voice was right next to her ear. The photo frame in her hand was swiftly taken away."Doesn't the real thing look better?" he asked.Rachel had been pretty embarrassed, but the second she heard that remark, the awkwardness completely disappeared."I wasn't staring at your picture because I'm obsessed with you. I just accidentally knocked it over while grabbing the blanket.""Is denying everything your personal motto?" Tyler's voice sounded nonchalant as usual.Rachel nearly rolled her eyes. Hugging the blanket, she brushed past him and asked, "Is narcissism yours?"Tyler smirked a little as he turned and watched her walk out of the room, blanket in hand. He lowered his head, eyes landing on the photo of a younger version of himself in the frame.The usual edge in his expression softened for a moment.But as soon as his gaze shifted to the old man in the picture, his brows instinctively knit together."Eyesore," he muttered.With a sharp smack, he flipped the fram
