Chapter 679

Rachel was busy replying to the saleslady’s text.

“I think she has talent in sales.”

“I don’t think she’s as good as you think she is. Think about it. She might be good at sales, but she’s way too gossipy. Gossiping is a big no-no in the corporate world, but she doesn’t seem to find it a big deal. What if she starts gossiping about company-related matters?”

Rachel had long thought of a solution for that.

“Don’t worry about that. We have clear rules guarding against gossip, and all employees must sign a non-disclosure agreement. Anyway, who doesn’t gossip? Mr. Hunt, can you say that you’ve never gossiped in your entire life?”

Tyler had thought that Rachel was explaining the situation to the saleslady when he saw Rachel chatting with her for so long.

Who knew that Rachel would think about recruiting at a place like that?

He didn’t see that coming.

“You were chatting with that saleslady for so long, and you didn’t explain to her what the other bottle of perfume was for?”

Rachel munched on the lychees Wanda had peeled while texting a reply to the saleslady. “What’s there to explain? Any man who dresses the way you do and brings a girl to a place like that wouldn’t be seen as decent.”

Tyler was curious. He seldom paid attention to other things aside from work. Since Rachel was on this topic, he couldn’t help but probe further.

“What do you mean by that?”

Rachel had already sent a text to the saleslady and was waiting for her reply. In the meantime, she put her phone down and started explaining things to Tyler.

“A man dressed like you would never bother stepping foot into a perfume shop. Who’d have the time to accompany his wife to buy perfume? Only an affair partner can make a man willingly go to a place like that. In a relationship that’s new and exciting, everything is still nice and dandy.

“Do you really think they don’t have eyes to see? A man of your stature who wants to buy perfume for his wife can just get his assistant to buy it for him. Why bother buying it himself?”

Tyler turned to look at her. “Why didn’t you explain things to them? You probably heard what they were saying about you.”

“I did, but there’s no need to explain.”

Rachel wasn’t a fool. She turned around to look back at him with a glint in her eyes.

“Tyler, you’re a smart man. Don’t bother acting dumb with me. Weren’t you the one who deliberately misled them, causing them to misunderstand that I was your partner who’s accompanying you to buy perfume for another woman? Aren’t you the reason why they were blatantly talking about me?”

This man really knew how to put on a convincing act.

Tyler didn’t see anything wrong with his actions and said with a shrug, “You didn’t say anything about it back there, did you?”

Rachel flung a pillow at him and scoffed. “When did you become so childish?”

It was something so trivial. Only a youngster barely twenty would bother pulling a stupid stunt like this.

He was already past thirty and always seemed so mature and wise to others. Since when did he become so childish?

Tyler chuckled. “Just now.”

Just then, his phone vibrated.

It was a voice message from his client, Heidi Yates. Tyler didn’t hide it from Rachel and played it out loud in front of her.

“Mr. Hunt, let’s have a meal tomorrow afternoon and discuss the proposal after that. How does that sound?”

Tyler replied in the affirmative.

A moment later, Heidi sent him another voice message.

“One more thing. Can I ask you out for some drinks later?”

Tyler glanced at Rachel after playing the voice message.
