“I might need a while more here before I can go back. I’ll have to trouble you to take care of Waffle for a while longer.”
“That’s fine. Oh yes, Rachel. Someone was snooping around for information on our organization. Is someone on your end investigating you?”
Xena’s words gave Rachel a bad feeling about things.
Was it William, Tyler, or someone else altogether?
“I’m sorry. I might have accidentally left a trail behind.
Their organization was completely closed off from the public eye. They conducted various research strictly confidential and never published elsewhere. Even staff members couldn’t share the information with their family.
Rachel herself never shared her whereabouts with Jim.
Xena reminded her, “You’d better get whoever it is to stop their investigations. If the higher–ups find out who’s responsible for it, even I may be in trouble, not to mention you.”
Rachel hummed in agreement. “I’m sorry. I’ll deal with it properly.”
Rachel hung up and sat on the couch, keeping Ray company while she pondered the question of whether it was William or Tyler investigating her.
She couldn’t be too blatant in trying to find out, or she might just expose herself.
She had no intention whatsoever to see William again. The mere sight of him irked her.
As for Tyler, he was a hundred times harder to deal with compared to William.
He was bound to suspect something if she were to make any slip of the tongue. Before she could even achieve her goal, Tyler might end up seeing through her instead.
She had to play the long game.
Rachel stayed downstairs till it was around eleven o’clock.
Tyler texted her to tell her to head upstairs.
He had just walked out of the bathroom wearing just a bathrobe. He felt very at home and at ease before
Rachel.
His bathrobe was wide open at the chest, the visual feast it offered making Rachel gasp.
Tyler picked up a towel from the back of a chair and dried his hair with it. “Can you see clearly standing so far away? Why don’t you take a closer look?”
Rachel was embarrassed at being caught and looked away hastily. “What song…would you like to hear today?”
Tyler settled down on the couch and crossed his legs leisurely. “Tell me what you’ve learned recently.”

“You can tell me what you like to listen to, and I can go learn it. Oh yes, I’ve been reading a very interesting story these few days. Do you want to hear it?”
“Sure, let’s give that a try.” Tyler pointed at one of the cabinets. “But first, grab a hair dryer and help me dry my hair.”
Rachel wasn’t about to just do as she was told. “Mr. Hunt, can’t you dry your hair by yourself?”
Tyler raised his right arm. “Are you so heartless as to forget how I injured my arm?”
That was when Rachel remembered that fact.
Alright, then. She sighed inwardly.
It was really no big deal, drying his hair for him. For all she knew, coaxing and pleasing this man would make life easier for her.
That thought made her quickly get up to fetch the hair dryer. When she started blow–drying his hair, they heard someone knock on the door downstairs.
Rachel subconsciously glanced at Tyler. “Did you arrange a meeting with someone at night?”
“I ordered takeout. Barbecued meat and grilled bratwurst. Go grab them for me.”
Rachel couldn’t help but drool at the mention of the food.
“I’ll go right away.”
She hurried down the stairs.
The corners of Tyler’s lips lifted slightly when he saw how eagerly she bounded away. He chuckled to himself that girl was as greedy as Ray.
Rachel was so hungry, she opened the door without even checking whether the deliveryman was
When she saw William standing at the door, her face froze, and she stood rooted to the ground.
