Chapter 480

She shut the door immediately.

Cecilia, who was walking behind Rachel, almost crashed into her. Seeing how panicked she looked, Cecilia asked, “What’s wrong? Why aren’t you going in…?”

“Nothing. Wait here for me.”

With that, she gently pushed Cecilia away before opening the door again and walking in.

Tyler had changed into a comfortable white shirt and turned around at the sound of the door opening.

“I just got changed. You came too late.”

He made it sound as though Rachel was the lecherous one.

She tried to explain herself. “I was trying to protect your privacy, but here you are chiding me instead of thanking me.”

Tyler strutted toward her and bent over, tapping the tip of her nose gently.

“Good. You should keep me to yourself and not show me to others.”

Rachel couldn’t help but feel like having a mouth was useless before Tyler. It didn’t matter what she thought—all Tyler cared about was his own perspective.

In other words, she could save her explanations from now on since they were pointless anyway.

Rachel coughed and changed the subject. “Do you need to use the room?”

“I need to take a shower.”

“In that case, Mr. Hunt, may we use the study next door, please?” Rachel asked cautiously.

Tyler cast Rachel a sideways glance. “Are you two planning a huge secret mission?”

Rachel almost choked on Tyler’s words, her eyes darting everywhere out of guilt.

Tyler was way too sharp!

She knew he’d never have to worry about being out of a job, even if he decided not to be the CEO of his company. He would succeed in anything he did.

Rachel made up an excuse. “I’m just helping Cecilia with her resume. I’m preparing for her to start work at Lloyd Enterprise next week.”

Tyler arched a brow. “You’re letting her work at Lloyd Enterprise?”

“Yes, what’s the matter? I’m a major shareholder of Lloyd Enterprise now. I’m sure I have the right to decide that.”

Rachel thought Tyler would say that she didn’t have a way to bring Cecilia into the company.

Tyler sat on the bedside, looking refreshed. He crossed his legs and looked at her with an air of authority.

“Don’t you think you’re leading her into a lion’s den? Most of the people there are probably in your stepmother and sister’s camp. Your father is no longer the one calling the shots in the company. Given the rumors William spread about Cecilia during her stint in Lewis Enterprise, aren’t you afraid she’ll get slaughtered by those people in your company?”

Rachel had considered this. She composed herself, a solemn look in her eyes. There was an air of determination about her that yielded to nothing and no one.

“It’s a necessary step I must take. I won’t let Yvette and Sasha continue managing the company. They will only make all my dad’s efforts go down the drain. The company will go bust in their hands.”

If the company went under, Jim would probably turn in his grave. Jim cared so much for her, she couldn’t let him down.

“I finally see in you some of the passion I see in Ray,” Tyler praised.

Rachel pursed her lips and said with a forced smile, “Why, thank you for that compliment, Mr. Hunt.”

It was rare enough for Tyler to praise her–but he just had to compare her with Ray.

With a wave of his hand, Tyler said, “Since you’re thanking me so sincerely, I’ll be generous and let you use the study for one hour.”

“What if we exceed the time?” Rachel asked.
