Chapter 844

That meant that even though Rachel had come up with a plan, putting it into action was still going to be tough.

Hearing all this, Yale finally realized just how big a risk Rachel had taken to help Tyler. She hadn’t even stopped to consider what would happen to her in the end.

Gripping the back of the car seat, he leaned toward Rachel. “Ms. Lloyd, maybe you should tell Mr. Hunt about this.”

“Yale, you can’t tell Tyler. He finally got his drive back, ready to rebuild the company from the ground up. If you drop this on him now, you know exactly what he’d do.”

“Knowing Mr. Hunt, he’d probably sell LS Enterprise just to cover the gap. Or worse, he might declare bankruptcy outright,” Yale said.

Rachel looked him straight in the eye. “And you think that’s what you want to see happen?”

Her words were sharp and direct, cutting right to the point.

Yale’s silence said it all. He didn’t want Tyler to sell off the company just to fix Rachel’s problem. He had been by Tyler’s side too long and knew better than anyone how capable he was. Tyler didn’t deserve to lose it all.

Rachel noticed the guilt in Yale’s eyes, and she understood. Truthfully, she didn’t see it as a burden.

“Yale, don’t beat yourself up. None of this matters. Just like you, I’m doing it for Tyler’s sake.”

Yale inhaled deeply. At that moment, he made a decision. “Ms. Lloyd, I’ve always been Mr. Hunt’s right hand, but from now on, I’m yours too. Whatever you need, whatever you ask, I’ll do everything I can to help.”

Rachel waved it off. “You don’t have to go that far.”

Along the way, Mark handed out bottles of water, but when it came to Rachel, he gave her a thermos instead.

Rachel blinked in surprise. “Why did you give me a thermos?”

“You’ve always had stomach issues. You should take better care of yourself.”

Mark remembered how, back when Rachel worked here, she was constantly struggling with her stomach. She never paid enough attention, so he had gotten into the habit of looking out for her, especially when it came to food and drinks.

That was just the dynamic between them.

But Yale, sitting nearby, immediately sensed something was off.

The way Mark paid attention to Rachel felt too personal. Yale couldn’t shake the thought that maybe Mark had feelings for her.

He considered reporting it to Tyler, but then he pictured Tyler’s notoriously jealous streak and decided against it. It was better to observe for a few days first.

Tyler really did have a lot of romantic rivals.

Back at the hotel, Mark stood in the doorway and said to Rachel, “Get some rest for today. Tomorrow, I’ll bring you to meet that doctor.”

Just then, his phone rang.

Rachel could tell how busy he was. She remembered from her time working here that late nights and overtime were the norm. Everyone was always juggling multiple projects at once.

After hanging up, Mark looked like he wanted to say more, but Rachel spoke first.

“You can leave. Get back to work.”

Mark slipped his phone into his pocket. “Alright, I’ll head out. I’ll also email you more details about the doctor. That should save you some time.”

“Thanks.”
