Chapter 690

Author: Tina Peach
Rachel crouched down and clenched her fists tightly.

This time, she didn't dare to make another reckless guess. She sank back against the floor, forcing herself to think carefully.

"Yale, has Tyler ever hinted at anything? I mean, something we could use to figure out the password from the way he talks?"

That question clearly stumped Yale.

"Ms. Lloyd, Mr. Hunt talks to me about so many things every single day. How am I supposed to remember? You're putting me in an impossible spot."

Rachel gave him no room to wiggle out. "We don't have a choice. If you can't come up with something, then everything we've done so far will be for nothing."

Yale pursed his lips. He then forced his memory into overdrive, replaying every conversation he'd ever had with Tyler that might have mentioned the safe.

At that moment, Rachel's phone rang.

It was Jerry.

She felt a sudden dread in her stomach. She feared he had failed.

She steadied herself and answered. "Don't tell me you couldn't do it."

    "What's the matter now?" Rachel asked, confused."Rachel, are we here to talk business or to sell my body?"Rachel's mind was still on areas of improvement in the proposal; she was mumbling to herself on ways to cut the cost of investment. Tyler's brows were furrowed, the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows reflecting off his face. He tapped his fingers against the table."Rachel!"Rachel finally snapped back to attention as she picked up from where they last left off."We're here to talk business, but you should know better than I do why Anne wants to work with us. Is she here for the project? She's here for you. The proposal is critical, but you're even more critical. If you don't make her happy, she can choose not to sign the contract, no matter how good the proposal is."Rachel's perspective on the matter stood in stark contrast to that of Tyler's.Tyler was looking at it from an emotional angle, but Rachel was being rational about it. She had one goal in mind, and tha

    Anne smiled and said in a seemingly joking tone, "Don't tell me you two are a couple!"Instead of getting mad or feeling awkward, a half-smile stretched across Tyler's face. He even leaned closer to Rachel. At that moment, Rachel really wanted to chase Tyler out. She could negotiate this deal herself.It was clear that Anne had a thing for Tyler. Rachel noticed her gaze drawn toward Tyler right from the start of the meal. Anyone with eyes could tell!Tyler asked Anne, "Do we look like husband and wife?"Rachel reached out to pinch Tyler at his waist below the table. Was he here to chat or to hear Anne guess the status of their relationship? Why did he not have any sense of danger at all?Anne rested her chin on the back of her hand and observed the two of them. She looked perfectly fine, but Rachel was a woman and was naturally sensitive about what another woman was thinking.Rachel could sense the underlying discomfort in Anne. Some things couldn't be seen from the surface but

    Tyler would be the one suffering if this deal fell through!Anne gave Rachel a small smile. "I won't. I know him, he was just joking. Please don't mind it, Ms. Lloyd. But I'm still very interested in the proposal. I was just wondering if I could have a drink or two with you, Mr. Hunt. We could dive deeper into the details there.""I might not be able to—""Sure, Ms. Charlton. It's quiet in the bar, very conducive to our discussions. It is rather hot here in the afternoon, and quite distracting for us to be talking about work. Don't worry, I'll go look for a bar nearby with a good environment for you two. Leave the arrangements to me."Anne looked at Tyler and Rachel, clearly overjoyed. "Really? Can we do that?""No—""Of course, we can! Ms. Charlton, leave this to me."Anne gave Rachel a knowing look. "Thank you in advance, Ms. Lloyd.""No problem. I'll take care of this," Rachel said as she patted her chest confidently. Tyler sat right there, his face dark with displeasure

    "Of course. I'm sure anyone who has interacted with him will know how capable he is. He is an outstanding man in every regard."Rachel smiled awkwardly at Anne, feeling something off with the latter's words. Yet, she couldn't quite pinpoint what the problem was.Rachel coughed twice. "Let me share with you the details of our proposal, Ms. Charlton."The core technology of this project is based on the most advanced algorithm in the industry, which promises greatly enhanced efficiency and reduced cost. The project figures are reliable and definitely feasible."The competition in this field is heating up, but there is a service gap in the industry. If we can bring this project to fruition, it'll be a breakthrough for our partnership."In this newly launched Project Stellar, the user just needs to complete the risk assessment survey. The system can automatically calculate the economic prospects and the movements in the industry, and generate an adjustment proposal."Anne's interest

    After all the dishes were served, Tyler said to Anne, "Let's eat. We'll talk as we eat.""Sure."Anne spooned some food into Tyler's bowl. "I remember you like this and meatballs, right? You mentioned that you were looking for a chef who could create the taste you were looking for. Did you manage to do that? If you haven't, I have a chef to recommend."Tyler shook his head. "No need, I've found the chef."Anne was rather surprised. "Really? I was thinking of bringing the chef over and letting you try his cooking to see if it's to your liking."Tyler thought back on how he met Rachel and the memory of her making meatballs for him, and chuckled."I didn't expect to find it, either. The taste was exactly as I remembered."Tyler probably didn't notice the tenderness in his eyes that stood in such stark contrast with his usual aura, which Anne spotted immediately.She held her teacup in her hands as she looked hard at Tyler. With feigned carelessness, she said, "The chef is a female

    Tyler stood up and politely shook her hand."Ms. Charlton, it's been a while. Have a seat."Anne Charlton sat down gracefully, a clear giveaway to Rachel that she was a well-bred woman. The aura she exuded belonged to that of a well-to-do family in upper-class society.Anne spoke to Tyler with such familiarity, they didn't seem like strangers one bit. Instead, they looked more like old friends reuniting."You look exactly the same, even after so many years. That suit looks great on you.""You're too kind," Tyler said with a friendly smile that mellowed out his usual cold demeanor.Anne's gaze instinctively shifted to Rachel. "I know Yale, but this is…"Before Tyler had the chance to speak up, Rachel took the initiative to introduce herself."Ms. Charlton, I'm an employee from Mr. Hunt's company. I'm Rachel Lloyd."The stiffness in Anne's smile softened at Rachel's introduction as Tyler's employee. She held Rachel's hand warmly."You're so beautiful, Ms. Lloyd. You have such a
