Chapter 841
In the VIP lounge at the airport, Tyler said something to Yale in a low voice. Yale stood by his side, holding a thick itinerary packed with reminders written line by line. When he saw Rachel walk in, Tyler immediately came over and gently smoothed her slightly messy hair.
โAll set?โ
โYeah.โ
Rachel tilted her head back to look at him. Suddenly, she recalled the first time she had met him. Back then, he had been distant and aloof. There was always a cold look in his eyes.
Under the loungeโs lights, she could see her own reflection clearly in his eyes. The boarding announcement came through the speakers. Tyler picked up her suitcase. His fingers lingered on the handle for a long time.
โText me when you land. Video call me every night.โ
He turned to Jerry and Yale. His tone instantly became stern. โTake care of her. If anything happens, report to me immediately. I donโt want a single slip-up.โ
Jerry nodded. โMr. Hunt, you can count on me!โ
Yale quickly echoed, โWeโll stay by her side at all times.โ
The glass walls of the jet bridge mirrored two figures leaning close together. Rachel stood on tiptoe to hug Tyler. She rested her chin on his shoulder. โIโll be back before you know it.โ
โOkay.โ Tylerโs arms tightened around her.
Even after she disappeared down the far end of the jet bridge, Tyler remained where he stood. Sunlight streamed through the giant windows and fell across him. His phone buzzed with a new message from Rachel.
[I tucked your jacket into my suitcase. Nights are cold overseas.]
Tyler lowered his gaze to the screen. His smile grew wide.
Once he returned to the company, he threw himself completely into work. He knew well that everything the company had today was because of Rachel. She had given him everything she could. For her sake, he couldnโt allow the company to collapse. He had promised Rachel and every employee there that he would bring the company back on its feet.
The staff began gathering together in small groups. They were all surprised by Tylerโs renewed spirits.
โWhatโs with Mr. Hunt? He feels different all of a sudden.โ
โYeah. For a while, I thought heโd completely lost interest in running the company. But now, heโs likeโฆโ
โDidnโt you notice? Thereโs light in his eyes again.โ
โExactly. He mustโve gone through something. Even rich people have their troubles, but who cares? If Mr. Huntโs back in the game, then so are we.โ
โThatโs right. Mr. Huntโs tough on us sometimes, but honestly? LS Enterprise treats employees better than almost any other company in Yurelia City.โ
Tyler stood tall, his presence sharp and commanding. His dark, fathomless eyes once again gleamed with ambition. His voice dropped low and carried an unshakable force.
โOnce the companyโs back to running normally, youโll all receive bonuses based on performance and overtime. On that, you have my word.โ
Everyone in the office cheered.
โMr. Hunt, weโre with the company no matter what!โ
โYeah! Donโt worry, Mr. Hunt. The companyโs like my home. I might as well just live here from now on.โ
โSame here!โ
Though his expression remained stern, Tylerโs heart softened. He clapped his hands.
โAlright, get back to work.โ
โYes, sir!โ
As soon as Tyler left, the employees huddled together again and whispered among themselves.
โI heard most of our recent projects werenโt even negotiated by Mr. Hunt himself, except for that overseas one. He actually went abroad to seal that deal.โ
โYeah, but the real kicker? That core project we just got? It came from his girlfriendโs fatherโs company!โ
โThatโs why our paychecks came on time this month.โ
โNo way. His girlfriend must be incredible. Any other woman wouldโve bailed already.โ
โFor sure. I heard sheโs even the ex-wife of the CEO over at Lewis Enterprise.โ
