Chapter 536

Rachel couldn’t exactly handle things on an empty stomach.

“I figured there wasn’t much to tell you. Everything’s already been taken care of.”

Cecilia instinctively asked, “So in that case, what about my job?”

“Don’t be silly. I only cut ties with the Lloyd family, but I still have shares in Lloyd Enterprise. I’m still the largest shareholder. You’ve already joined the company, and Yvette doesn’t have any real power in her hands. She can’t touch you.”

Rachel had already thought through all of this. She wasn’t acting blindly. Since she brought Cecilia into the company, she naturally planned to pave the way for her.

Cecilia was overwhelmed with emotion again.

“Rachel, I don’t know what I did in my past life to deserve someone like you. If it wasn’t for you…”

She could already imagine how hopeless her life would’ve been otherwise.

Rachel heard footsteps coming down the stairs and caught sight of Tyler.

“Alright, let’s talk later when I get back. I have to go.”

“Okay.”

She had just hung up when Tyler reached the bottom of the stairs. He sat down, took a sip of milk, and asked casually, “What was that about?”

Rachel paused for a moment. She hadn’t said a word to him, and she was sure he hadn’t overheard the call.

But somehow, he was terrifyingly perceptive. Even without hearing or seeing anything, he could sense when something was off.

If Tyler ever had a real girlfriend who cheated on him or something, he wouldn’t even need to investigate. His instincts alone would be enough to sniff it out.

Thank goodness she wasn’t his real girlfriend! She didn’t even want to think about how that would end.

She lowered her head and kept munching on her sandwich. “Nothing, really. Cecilia just said the pads you bought were actually pretty good.”

Tyler frowned at that. Something about that sentence didn’t sit right with him. A moment later, it hit him.

“What do you mean, the pads I bought are pretty good? I bought them for you, not for her.”

Rachel noticed how his tone suddenly changed and raised a hand in mock reassurance.

“Alright, alright, I get it. You bought them for me, not her. Okay?”

Tyler gave her a warning. “Be more careful with your wording next time. If the wrong person heard that, they’d think I’m some kind of freak with a weird fetish for buying pads for people.”

Rachel couldn’t help it. A vivid image popped into her head, and she burst out laughing. “Hahaha!”

She laughed so hard she doubled over, holding her stomach with no regard for appearances.

Wanda walked by and saw Rachel laughing hysterically. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s so funny? Tell me, I want in on the joke too.”

Rachel covered her mouth, her cheeks trembling as she tried to hold back.

“W–We were just talking about pads…”

“Rachel, I think you’re done eating. We should get going.”

Tyler cut her off mid-sentence, walked over, and without a word, lifted her right out of her chair like she weighed nothing.

Rachel quickly begged for mercy.

“Okay, okay! I won’t say anything more! Let me go!”

Although the height difference between them wasn’t that huge, she still felt oddly small while being held.

Hearing her plead, Tyler finally set her down.

“If you talk nonsense like that again, I’ll really teach you a lesson.”
