Yvette was probably cooking up a high tale to William right now.
Tyler chuckled. “What are you afraid of? He should be worried about Samantha and himself.”
“I’m not afraid. I just don’t want more trouble.”
Rachel was going to leave this town and simply wanted an amicable split with William. She treasured their relationship when they were in love, and didn’t want things to get too ugly now that she had decided to leave.
It was completely unnecessary.
Tyler looked up and sighed.
“Fine. Since you helped me out just now, I’ll very reluctantly save you this time. From now on, as long as I need you, you’ll have to say yes with no strings attached.”
“No problem,” Rachel said without any hesitation.
She wouldn’t be seeing Tyler again after this–assuming she could get over this crisis in the first place.
Tyler stood up and walked to the door to open it.
Before Rachel could make a run for it, the door swung open. In that split second, she considered taking her own life there and then.
A man’s words couldn’t be trusted after all!
Rachel shut her eyes.
A stranger’s voice rang in the air. “Mr. Hunt, here’s what you asked me to buy.”
“Okay. Is everything settled on William’s end?”
“Yes, everything’s settled. You’ll have to be quick, though. We won’t be able to hold him back for long.” “Got it.”
Rachel opened her eyes, only to see a man in a suit speaking respectfully to Tyler, updating him about the situation. She gripped her chest and heaved a sigh of relief
As it turned out, that wasn’t William.
Tyler seemed to have everything prepared, and that even included an outfit for her.
She tried to recall what had happened earlier, but simply couldn’t figure out when Tyler had the chance to call his assistant.
He couldn’t possibly have the power of foresight, could he?
Rachel couldn’t wrap her mind around it.
After shutting the door, Tyler approached Rachel with a bag of clothes hanging on a finger.
A lazy smile stretched across his face as he asked with an arched brow, “What are you doing standing here instead of getting dressed? Waiting for William to come?”
Rachel snapped back to attention and took the bag from him. Just like last time, she found a fresh set of undergarments in the bag as well.

She entered the washroom; by the time she got changed and walked out, she saw Tyler in a pair of pants hanging on his lean yet powerful waist.
Sensing the gaze behind him, Tyler turned around, fishing a shirt off the bed and throwing it on. He shot Rachel a sideways glance and threatened, “Keep looking, and I’ll start charging a fee.”
Rachel came back to her senses and pursed her lips out of embarrassment.
Damn it! Why did she have to get caught peeking at him?
Tyler buttoned his shirt up slowly before putting on his suit jacket.
Rachel couldn’t help but click her tongue in approval. Clothes make a man, indeed. Tyler was a walking mannequin, and his outfit accentuated his great figure.
Of course, she kept her thoughts to herself.
When Tyler was finally done getting changed, Rachel urged, “Can we leave now?”
Tyler smoothed out his suit jacket. “Let’s go.”

Right after they walked out the door, they heard hurried footsteps down the corridor and William’s voice. “Are you sure Rachel and Tyler are inside?”
“I’m certain! Tyler was in a bathrobe, and it was just the two of them in the hotel room. Rachel even had him drugged! She’s clearly disregarding you and the family’s reputation!”
Rachel had to fight the urge to storm up to Yvette and slap that girl again. She had expected Yvette to talk nonsense before William, but she didn’t expect the story to be so far–fetched.
She looked around them, seeing only hotel rooms with no passage in sight.
They were bound to meet.
