Chapter 709

Author: Tina Peach
Cecilia immediately grew alert.

"Was it because of me? I really did slip up yesterday. Rachel, I'm so sorry! I've just dragged you down again."

"It's fine. Even if you hadn't slipped, with someone as sharp as Tyler, chances are he would've figured it out anyway."

Rachel didn't want Cecilia to take all the blame and kept trying to reassure her, but Cecilia knew Rachel all too well.

"Rachel, I know you're just trying to comfort me. I feel so bad that I couldn't defend myself. I really was useless. It was so hard to look Mr. Hunt in the eyes. I was petrified!"

"Stop worrying about that. I'll figure something out. What you need to do is focus on your job. Also, the debt collectors will probably show up again in the next couple of days. You need to be ready for that."

Rachel thought it over. If she wanted Tyler to truly believe, then the act had to be convincing.

After all, real debt collectors never come just once. Tyler might very well send someone else to investigate in secret. He

    Yale was stunned and looked awkwardly at Rachel. He even patted his cheeks gently."I'm sorry, Ms. Lloyd. I take back what I said earlier."He clenched his toes, almost dying from embarrassment. What was going on with Mr. Hunt? Why did he suddenly agree to Ms. Charlton's offer? Wasn't he in a relationship with Ms. Lloyd?What exactly was happening?Rachel knew there was no point eavesdropping on the rest of their conversation. She was clearly overthinking, to the point that she assumed that Tyler might get taken advantage of by Anne if he had a drop too much.Right now, it seemed as though he wanted Anne to take advantage of him.Rachel stood up, the look on her face deadly calm."Let's head back."Yale was stunned. "Huh? Head back now? Shouldn't we wait…""No need. We'll only interrupt them."With that, Rachel stood up and left, not caring whether Yale left with her.Yale looked worriedly at Tyler. Left with no other choice, he stood up and left the place with Rachel. If

    Tyler looked up, his dark brows and high cheekbones deadly attractive to many."Is it about the proposal?""No, it's a personal question."Anne nervously gripped the hem of her dress as she pursed her lips.Tyler put the proposal down and leaned back in his chair."If it's a personal issue, let's talk about it later. We're here to talk about the proposal, aren't we? Let's talk about the parts you have doubts about."Anne rested both hands on the table and said anxiously, "Tyler, I don't believe you're blind to the feelings I have for you. I confessed my feelings to you when we were overseas, but you said that you want to concentrate on your career and have no time for romance. What about now? You have your own company, and your career is on the rise. Do you have time for a relationship now?"Tyler's brows arched, clearly unwilling to dwell on this topic."Ms. Charlton, my company is hit by a huge crisis right now. Do you really think I have time for a new relationship?"Anne i

    Rachel gestured with her fingers. "Money makes the world go round."Yale nodded. "Alright, let's give it a try."Ten minutes later, hurried footsteps sounded from upstairs, and all the doors of the private rooms flew open—that included Tyler and Anne's.Anne looked clearly displeased at being interrupted."What's going on? Why must everyone go downstairs?""Apologies, miss. We have a surprise inspection, and our bar is a little special. It's best to keep all the private rooms upstairs empty," one of the waiters explained politely to Anne.Anne's brows furrowed, unable to accept the waiter's explanation."That's your problem! What does it have to do with me? I reserved your private room to have a discussion in it. Now that you're pulling this on us, how do you expect us to continue our negotiations?""I'm truly sorry. Our boss said that he will cover all your expenses in the private room to express his apology. We'll even give you a special bottle of red wine," the waiter hurrie

    Yale saw Rachel's brow twitch; he knew that he had said something wrong, and quickly corrected himself."Ms. Lloyd, don't misunderstand me. I didn't mean that. I just meant that… Mr. Hunt isn't someone like that."Rachel asked, "Then what about Ms. Charlton?""Ms. Charlton…" Yale bowed his head, unsure of what to say next. He whispered with uncertainty, "I don't know about Ms. Charlton.""But you should be able to tell that Ms. Charlton likes Mr. Hunt, right?" Rachel probed, as though seeking affirmation.Yale's voice went a pitch higher. "Like? She's obsessed with Mr. Hunt! You may not know this, Ms. Lloyd, but she didn't just start liking Mr. Hunt. She liked Mr. Hunt since they started working together overseas. Everyone in our company knows about it.""How long have they been working with each other?" Rachel asked, curious."About three years," Yale replied, rubbing his chin as though deep in thought.Rachel was surprised to hear his answer. "Three years overseas, added to t

    Rachel was about to call Tyler when she saw a text message pop up on her phone screen.[I'm heading to the bar.]Rachel heaved a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he planned his time well.She sat back down on the bed and started thinking about Tyler and Anne all alone in the private room. She could imagine Anne drinking away with Tyler, which wouldn't exactly affect business negotiations.But would they get so intoxicated…?Anne's ulterior motive was an open secret. It was clear as day how much she liked Tyler.Tyler was right. Both men and women were the same when it came to the people they liked. When possessiveness took over, gender became irrelevant.Rachel's imagination started running wild. What if Tyler and Anne…No, Tyler wasn't like that. He would never sacrifice himself for the sake of work.Were he that kind of man, he would have surrounded himself with hordes of women instead of being the bachelor he was today.However, while Tyler might be able to exercise self-cont

    Rachel retracted her gaze and searched for nearby bars on her phone.She eventually settled on a place called Bellefleur's Bar, mainly because of its vintage ambience and furnishings. It even had a live band performing on the first floor, which may quell the tense atmosphere without being too loud.Rachel immediately made a reservation. She excitedly showed Tyler her phone screen. "Look, this place I chose for you two is perfect!"In the past, Tyler would have pushed Rachel's phone away and told her irritably to just decide on her own.This time, however, his interest was piqued."Looks good, but you should reserve a private room instead. That would be quieter and easier for us to hear each other speak. Anne doesn't like discussing work at noisy places."Tyler leaned toward Rachel's phone, his hair accidentally brushing against her jaw. It tickled, and Rachel could even pick up the scent of his shampoo. It smelled pleasant and refreshing, a great match with his cool personality
