Chapter 365
Rachel tugged at the hem of the shirt before sitting down. Tyler waved the glass in his hand at her once more.
“Need a drink?”
“No thanks.”
She had to be on high alert while negotiating with Tyler. If she drank herself silly, she might end up unwittingly falling into his trap.
“I don’t care about your relationship with Samantha,” she began, but I just have one request. Can you please not agree to her request to help William out of his situation?”
If Tyler bailed William out of trouble, all her plans from here on would be foiled.
That wasn’t all. She guessed that the first thing William would do upon his release would be to check on her. No matter how well she managed to hide her tracks, he would certainly be able to find some clues.
Her plan was only a few days away from success. She would never allow someone to foil it at such a critical juncture.
Tyler leaned back lazily, his brow arching.
“Why should I help you?” he drawled, toying with a Rubik’s cube. “By right, I should be on his side. You had me fooled back
then, too.”
Rachel’s eyes turned cold. “I didn’t mean to.”
“I’m not listening to your explanation. All I know is that a heartless brat lied to me back then and even made use of me. She then
vanished without a trace after she got what she needed from me.”
Tyler leaned in close to her and asked with feigned benevolence.
“Tell me, should I start settling scores with this little liar?”
Rachel knew she couldn’t outwit Tyler, especially when she had done him wrong.
“How about this? I promise I’ll make it up to you. Starting tonight, I’ll come here every night to coax you to bed. I’ll also pay you
all liquidated damages, if any.”
Tyler fixed his gaze on her before leaning back against his chair. He cleared his throat.
“That’s just what’s due to me, and doesn’t suffice as negotiation terms.”
Rachel’s cheeks flushed. Negotiating with Tyler was a hundred times harder than negotiating with any of the partners she had struck up agreements with.
She was starting to feel for the companies working with Tyler.
Rachel clenched her fists, forcing herself to calm down. “What else do you want?”
Tyler downed the entire glass and said blatantly, “My father has been urging me to get married…”
He deliberately left his sentence hanging as he crossed his arms across his chest. Leaning back against the chair, he stared at Rachel with a deep, unreadable gaze.
Rachel didn’t know if she understood what he was insinuating, but she said, “I can help you deal with the blind dates he throws your way. I guarantee they won’t bother you one bit.”
The knot in Tyler’s brows eased. “I hope you won’t be as heartless as you were last time.”
It sounded like a harmless tease, but Rachel knew clearly that it was a warning.

If she fooled him a second time, she wouldn’t be able to get away just by negotiating with him. No matter how generous her terms were, Tyler would probably not even spare her a chance to negotiate with him.
Tyler stood up. “Go downstairs for dinner and prepare a programme for tonight to coax me to sleep. Oh yes, grab some picture books from the bookstore when you’re free. Singing songs day after day is getting boring.”
Rachel glared at Tyler’s back profile.
How dare he be so picky!
She clutched her chest and tried to calm herself down, telling herself that Tyler was her master right now.
She couldn’t afford to offend him!
Tolerating him was better than dealing with William, anyway.
After Tyler went downstairs, he gave Yale a call, an ominous look in his eyes.
