    bYvette /bhad to pay the price for her actions.

    Rachel found herself in a dilemma as her resolve began wavering.

    She had never considered this possibility, but now that Tyler had mentioned it, she had no choice but bto /b

    think in that direction.

    “Let me think about this. It’s all too sudden. Let’s solve yourpany’s crisis firsti,/ii” /iRachel said as matter-

    of–factly as possible.

    Tyler wasn’t anxious. He knew Rachel wouldn’t be able to run from him.

    “Alright.”

    Rachel looked at the time and stood up. “Let’s head back.”

    “Okay.”

    Tyler wrapped an arm around her waist as he stood up. They were about to move off when a thought

    came to her mind.

    “Where’s Jerry? Didn’t he go with you to your medical review? How did that go?”

    b“/bNothing much. Xavier told me to rest up.”

    Rachel assumed Tyler was probably fine, since he wasn’t even using the crutch anymore.

    “Good that you’re fine. I suppose Dr. Jenkins reminded you to take care and not overwork yourself?”

    “Yes, but don’t worry. I’m in great shape and won’t affect you.”

    His tone was deliberately suggestive, making Rachel’s cheeks flush with embarrassment. She cast him a side nce.

    “Can you please take this seriouslyb?/bb” /b

    Tyler arched his brow and chuckled. “How am I not taking it seriouslyb?/bb” /b

    “You…” Rachel didn’t know what to respond with and barely squeezed out, “What did you mean by saying that it won’t affect me…?”

    Tyler’s chest shook, as though he was trying hard to hold backughter.

    “What I meant was that now that I’ve recovered, I can apany you wherever you want bto /bbgo/bb./bb” /b

    Tyler turned to look at her, and their gazes locked. His exquisitely carved features were sharp and stood out perfectly.

    “What else did you think I meant?”

    He inched closer to her.

    The night was getting darker as the sun dipped below the horizon. The dim street lights shone above Rachel and Tyler’s heads.

    Tyler poked Rachel’s cheek gently.

    Rachel didn’t dare to admit that she was thinking in that direction. It was all Tyler’s fault for teasing her bso /boften, causing her to think that way. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have misunderstood him that way.

    She retracted her gaze, feeling her ears grow hot.

    “That’s exactly what I thought. Wait here, I need to call Jerryb./bb” /b

    Rachel hurriedly pulled out her phone to hide her embarrassment. She was about to dial Jerry’s number when Tyler suddenly grabbed her hand and leaned in close to her.

    “Doesn’t he have legs? Or is he unable to find his way back home? Is that why you need to keep a close eye on him, like he’s a child?b” /b

    Rachel stared into Tyler’s deep, dark eyes for a second too long before breaking off eye contact.

    She chuckled and said, “Tyler, are you jealous of a child?”

    “Is he a child? He’s a man,” Tyler said bluntly.

    With a small smile, Rachel said, “Well, he’s still a child to me.”
