Chapter 207
โIโll do it.โ
Rachel stepped forward, and Tim immediately let out a sigh of relief.
โThank you, Ms. Lloyd.โ
Honestly, heโd thought that if he couldnโt help Tyler get dressed properly, he might not even have a job tomorrow.
Rachel moved to Tylerโs side and gently pulled his hands down. โYouโre in such a rush. Thatโs not like you at all.โ
She took hold of both sides of the shirt and tried tugging it downward.
It was tight.
Rachel glanced at Tim, who was still wiping sweat from his forehead. โDid you buy the wrong size?โ
โThe sales clerk said it was Mr. Huntโs usual size. How could it be too small?โ
Rachel examined the shirt. The bottom half looked fine, but the collar area was obviously tight.
She started teasing Tyler.
โTyler, donโt tell me you drank too much contaminated formula as a kid and it made your head too big. How is it that everyone else can wear this size but not you?โ
Annoyed, Tyler reached up to tug at the shirt again. โHow is this my problem? Itโs clearly the shirt. Call that store and tell them they can shut down tomorrow.โ
Timโs sweating intensified. โYes, sir.โ
Rachel finally managed to pull the shirt down past Tylerโs head.
His cheeks were flushed from the struggle, and he looked like a wronged child.
Rachel had to turn away to suppress her laughter. She really was holding back, but Tyler still noticed her shaking shoulders.
He spoke from behind her with an accusatory tone. โRachel, are you laughing at me?โ
She waved her hands quickly, turning around. โNo, no! My eyes were just itching a little. Why would I-โ
She paused mid-sentence, realizing something felt off. She tugged gently at Tylerโs shirt and discovered part of the back collar was still sewn shut.
Rachel turned to Tim. โGet me a pair of scissors.โ
Timโs eyes widened. โMs. Lloyd, what do you need scissors for?โ
Was she going to cut up Tylerโs shirt?
Rachel wasnโt exactly patient. โJust go get them. Donโt worry, Iโm not going to hurt your boss.โ
Tim rushed off and came back with a pair of scissors from the exam room.
Rachel took them, pinched the collar, and carefully snipped along the seam at the back.
Tyler immediately felt the pressure lift from his shoulders.
Tim suddenly realized what had happened. โOh! The tag seam at the back of the T-shirt hadnโt been cut.โ
Rachel touched the fabric and turned toward Tim. โWhere did you buy this shirt?โ
The question caught him off guard.
โOne of the stores on Eastin Street.โ
Everyone knew the boutiques on Eastin Street were either high-end or ultra-luxury. It was definitely not the kind of place that sold poorly sewn shirts.
Rachel pointed to the fabric. โDo you really think this looks like something from Eastin Street? At best, this shirt cost three hundred bucks.โ
Tylerโs eyes narrowed. He was getting angrier by the second. โExplain. Now.โ
Timโs knees buckled under that gaze, and he dropped to the floor. โM-Mr. Hunt, I can explain. I had no choice. Please hear me out-โ
