Chapter 48

Author: Tina Peach
"I'm not afraid of him, I just don't want trouble. Aren't you afraid of being misunderstood, Mr. Hunt?"

Rachel started finding a corner to hide in and glanced upstairs.

"I'll head upstairs to avoid him."

Without waiting for Tyler's agreement, she made a beeline for the stairs and headed up.

Tyler didn't stop her, his lips curling into a smile.

"You're making it look like we're having an affair."

Rachel stopped dead in her tracks.

He was right.

She had no choice, however. William was already suspicious of their relationship. If he found her at Tyler's house, it would only deepen his suspicions.

When Tyler walked in, he saw a figure dash into a room and shut the door. It moved too fast and he couldn't see clearly who it was, but he was certain it was a woman.

Was Tyler in a relationship?

So what? What was the point of hiding it?

Tyler's brows were furrowed, seemingly upset at William's appearance. He bent over and poured himself a cup of coffee.

"What are you doing here?"

  • Countdown to My Divorce   Chapter 700

    Yale couldn't help but shiver again when he heard Tyler's words.Tyler raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was already 2 in the morning. By now, there wasn't much point in digging any further."That's enough for today. Start an internal review first.""Yes, sir." Everyone in the office responded one after another.The group slowly dispersed, some stifling yawns, already resigned to the fact that no one would be getting much sleep tonight."Seriously, who has the guts to come after our company? They must be insane.""Yeah, and our security system is supposed to be the best. For someone to crack it, I'd really like to know which genius pulled that off.""Forget about who did it. All I know is the geniuses in our own IT department are out of jobs now. We'd better just focus on our own work. Otherwise, the next unemployed folks could be us.""True, true."Tyler placed the three contracts on the desk before shifting his gaze to Yale."Who introduced this project to you

    Tyler gripped the contract tightly, as if something had just clicked in his mind. He turned to the others still combing through the files."You can stop investigating."Everyone froze mid-task."Mr. Hunt, what do you mean? Stop? We're not investigating anymore?""I already know what they were after." Tyler rose with the contracts in hand. "Their target must have been these documents."A few people exchanged confused looks."Mr. Hunt, what do you mean by that? Are you saying they broke in just for these projects? But that doesn't make sense—the contracts are with foreign partners, aren't they?""Yeah, and once contracts like these are signed and printed, they're final. Nothing about them should be a problem."Yale quickly jumped in, trying to muddy the waters and divert suspicion."Mr. Hunt, could it be that you already approved and signed them earlier, but then forgot later on?"Tyler glared at Yale. "Yale, do you take me for my old man, so senile I can't tell if I signed som

    Rachel froze for a moment. She wasn't sure herself, but at this point, what was done was done. Now, all that mattered was figuring out how to fix it."Don't worry, let's just figure it out along the way."-When Tyler arrived at the company, the entire building was lit up. Instead of going straight in, he only ordered Yale to call in the technicians and the staff on the night shift.Trailing behind, Yale couldn't help but ask about what happened. It felt wrong to stay in the dark."Mr. Hunt, what exactly happened at the company?""The surveillance system was destroyed. Someone must have broken in. Check every important file and contract thoroughly—make sure nothing's missing.""Yes, sir." Yale pressed the elevator button and added, "But whoever did this must be incredible. Our security system is supposed to be the best in Yurelia City, and they still managed to crack it.""There's always someone better and smarter. The moment you think your company is untouchable, that's the mo

    Tyler shot back, "Do you think you've done well enough?"Yale's heart pounded as he looked timidly at Tyler."Mr. Hunt, what do you mean by that? Don't look at me like this—it rattles me. If you think I've done something wrong, you can just tell me directly."Tyler's stare cut right through him, like a blade pressed against his skin. Every second of eye contact cranked up the pressure until Yale was close to spilling everything.But if he spoke, he'd drag Rachel down with him. He could afford to take the fall himself, but there was no way he'd let Rachel get burned too.Leaning lazily against the doorframe with arms crossed, Tyler tilted his chin at him."Yale, why didn't either you or Rachel answer my calls?"At that, Yale's instincts screamed danger. He rushed to explain."Mr. Hunt, don't misunderstand. Ms. Lloyd and I are clean—there's nothing between us. We weren't ignoring your calls on purpose. We were busy at the time, you saw it yourself. We really didn't have a chance

    Rachel pouted. "Oh."Dragging her feet, she followed Tyler upstairs, her heart thundering in her chest as though it might burst out.Could he have already picked up on something?Apart from Cecilia, there shouldn't have been anything suspicious.Closing the door behind her, Rachel clenched her fingertips tight and forced herself to appear calm as she stepped forward."What is it?"Suddenly, Tyler spun around and pinned her against the door. His fingers tapped lightly against the wood. The cold gleam off his watch reflected on her."Your acting's not bad, Rachel."Rachel froze for a beat. She then smiled as if confused."I don't know what you're talking about."Tyler leaned closer. His cedar and tobacco scent rubbed off on her."Don't you think Cecilia's reaction was strange? The way she looked at me wasn't like fear at all. It was guilt."Rachel's heart skipped a beat. She knew it—Cecilia's slip had caught his attention.Digging her nails into her palm, she steadied her vo

    Cecilia wasn't really feeling guilty because of Tyler's question—what rattled her was his eyes. It felt as if she looked into them for even a second longer, he'd drag her straight into a pit.She quickly looked away. Her heart nearly leaped out of her chest.Rachel, seeing Cecilia's state, feared she might slip up. She hurried forward to step between her and Tyler."Alright, you should head home. I know today gave you quite a scare. Go rest, and we'll talk about this in a couple of days."Cecilia, looking dazed, nodded. "Okay, I'll just call a cab."Tyler tilted his head slightly, peering past Rachel at her. "You don't want us to give you a ride?"The last thing Cecilia dared was to actually let Tyler drive her—she couldn't handle the suffocating pressure that clung to him."No, really, it's fine," she waved quickly, terrified he might insist.Rachel and Yale exchanged a look. No words were needed—they both understood. For Tyler to suddenly offer something like that, it almost
