Chapter 226

Penulis: Tina Peach
William's pitch went up a notch as he grabbed Rachel's shoulders, shaking them hard. He glared at her with red-rimmed eyes.

Rachel could feel her brain shaking in her skull.

She tried to bear the discomfort.

"William, calm down and hear me out!"

That was when William stopped shaking Rachel. She bit her lips hard, her eyes just as cold.

It had been so long since she returned home, yet William showed her no concern about whether she was injured.

His suspicions about her relationship with Tyler were most likely due to the photos he saw online.

William knew that something had happened when they were at the bar last night, and even Tyler got hurt and was sent to the hospital. Yet, he didn't bother checking in on her and asking if she was fine.

It was vastly different from how much he overreacted to any slight discomfort Samantha felt, be it a headache or gastric pains.

William took a deep breath before letting go of Rachel. He sat down on a chair and poured himself a glass of wine,

    If it weren't already getting late, Rachel would've wanted to start tonight."Don't worry, I've got it all planned," Tyler replied.Rachel glanced at the time. "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."She still had to deal with Cecilia's housing issue. If she didn't handle it soon, it might be too late."Okay. Don't forget about tonight."His reminder made Rachel pause for a beat. She then nodded. "Got it."Just as she turned to leave, her skirt suddenly felt like it snagged on something. Rachel looked down and saw Ray clinging to her hem. His teary eyes were staring up at her.Seeing that look, Rachel couldn't help but think of it as a fierce dog with a heart of gold. He looked tough, but he clearly had a gentle side.The old saying about how pets reflected their owners kind of checked out.She instinctively looked over at Tyler. "Can you make him let go of me?"Tyler casually nodded at Ray. "He's the one not letting you go. Not me. Talk to him."Rachel's lips twitche

    Tyler softened his tone. "If you want my help, sure, but I do have one condition."Rachel's eyes lit up instantly. "Name it."At this point, if Tyler was willing to help her, she'd agree to just about anything."You'll sign an agreement. For the next year, you'll be my hypnotherapist and my personal assistant. That includes making coffee and handling all the mundane stuff."It wasn't that big of a deal for Rachel. But a year? She didn't even have a week to spare. She needed to leave soon. Still, if she said no, the opportunity might disappear in a flash.Considering how cold and stubborn Tyler could be, the fact that he was even offering was rare enough to make hell freeze over.Tyler saw her hesitate and frowned. "What? You need to think about such a small request? Are you afraid William might find out?"Rachel didn't dare admit it was because she had plans to disappear. Even if she signed the contract now, it'd be nothing more than an empty promise.She hadn't fully processed

    "Alright, I'll go make it now," Rachel said.Once Tyler saw Rachel head into the kitchen, the tension in his body finally eased. Ray suddenly barked and leapt onto him.Caught off guard, Tyler couldn't dodge in time and took a direct hit to the groin. His expression changed drastically, and his back curled instinctively as he clutched himself with a grimace.He glared at the barking Ray with a voice full of restrained fury."If you end up doing permanent damage to me, I swear I'm turning you into stew tomorrow."Startled, Ray shrank back and tucked his head like a scolded child.Tyler stayed hunched over for a while, trying to suppress the sharp pain.He knew exactly why Ray had reacted like that. In all these years, the dog had never once seen him with an erection. After all, there had never been any women around him.But just now, Rachel's actions had genuinely stirred something in him.Ray must've thought something had gone wrong with his master.Tyler rubbed his temples a

    Tyler's fingertips brushed against the undone buttons of Rachel's shirt. His touch barely grazed her skin, but even that felt like a jolt of electricity running through her entire body.The contact she expected never came.Rachel glanced down and saw that Tyler was buttoning her shirt back up, one button at a time.She looked at him in confusion. When she finally opened her mouth, her lips were trembling slightly."What are you doing?" she asked.Tyler shot her a sideways glance. His usual nonchalant expression was completely gone. What replaced it was a chilling, piercing cold. "What do you think you're doing?" he countered.Rachel's mind went blank. "I just thought that if you didn't mind that I'm married, you–""Oh, so you do remember that you're married." His tone was scathing.Rachel frowned. Her thoughts were a mess. What did he want from her? She was completely thrown off.Rachel decided to speak her mind."I thought about it. You don't need money, and you don't need p

    "But don't you need to clear things up too? Getting caught in a scandal with a married woman like me could really damage your reputation," Rachel said.At her words, Tyler laughed as if he'd just heard a joke.Rachel was stunned.His distinct brows, dark eyes, and perfectly pressed slacks, which lifted slightly as he crossed his legs to reveal a pair of handmade leather shoes, all gave off an air of superiority.He rubbed his brow and said flatly, "If you'd bothered to look into me beforehand, you'd know that reputation means absolutely nothing to me."If he'd cared about saving face, he would've been devoured by the veterans in the business long ago.A deep sense of frustration swelled in Rachel's chest. Tyler was, without a doubt, the most difficult person she'd ever had to deal with. He was like reinforced steel. No matter what tactic she tried, it was like hitting a wall. She couldn't get any reaction at all.She figured she couldn't force him. If she tried to be aggressive,

    She texted Cecilia back.[Forget it. I'll figure something out on my own.]Cecilia had one last thing to say.[But honestly, no matter how difficult a guy is, they're all weak to one thing. Even heroes fall for a beautiful woman. With your looks, you'll definitely have him wrapped around your fingers.]Rachel stared at the message in disbelief.Cecilia was crazy. How could she think of such advice?Just then, Rachel heard footsteps approaching. She quickly stuffed her phone back into her pocket and acted like nothing happened as she continued to eat.Tyler walked over and suddenly placed a dessert in front of her. "I heard something sweet can improve a person's mood."Rachel looked at the strawberry shortcake in front of her. She then turned to Tyler with a puzzled expression. "What's this supposed to mean?"Was this a peace offering?Tyler raised an eyebrow. "I'm trying to cheer you up. Isn't that obvious?"The words 'cheer you up' coming from him instantly sent a chill dow
