Rachel was busy replying to the saledy’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 igood /iat 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 aboutpany–rted mattersb?/bb” /b

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 lifeb?/bb” /b

Tyler had thought that Rachel was exining the situation to the saledy when he saw Rachel chatting with her bfor /bso long.

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

He didn’t see thating.

b“/bbYou /bwere chatting with that saledy for so long, and you didn’t exin to her what the other bottle of perfume was forb?/bb” /b

Rachel munched on the lychees Wanda had peeled while texting a reply to the saledy. “What’s there to bexin/b? Any man who dresses the way you do and brings a girl to a ce like that wouldn’t be seen as

decent.”

Tyler was bcurious/b. 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 saledy and was waiting for her reply. In the meantime, she put her phone down and started exining things to Tyler.

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

b“/bbDo /bbyou /bbreally /bthink 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?b” /b

Tyler turned to look at her. “Why didn’t you exin things to them? You probably heard what they were bsaying /babout youb./b”

“I did, but there’s no need to exin.”

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 apanying you to buy perfume for another woman? Aren’t you the reason why they were tantly 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 be 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 be

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 yed it out loud

bin /bfront of her.

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

soundb?/bb” /b

Tyler replied in the affirmative.

A momentter, Heidi sent him another voice message.

“One more thing. Can I ask you out for some drinkster?b” /b

Tyler nced at Rachel after ying the voice message.
