Rachel was frightened by the man who was leaning against her backb. /b

She didn’t know why her heart started racing, but she knew that she would somehow get nervous each time Tyler appeared before her.

Her nerves were also apanied by a strong urge to escape. He had a truly wicked mouth, that was for sure.

She naturally couldn’t be too casual with Tyler with Yvette around.

She instinctively took two steps back to widen her distance from Tyler, and nodded respectfully at him.

“Mr. Hunt.”

Tyler’s brows furrowed at her cold and distant greeting, “Did you get possessed by something? Why do you feel so different from two days ago? Did you earn ba /bbminor /bin face changing?”

Rachel fell silent. She really wanted to give him a look and stop him from talking too much with her.

If Yvette found out that they were on rather familiar terms, she might expose Rachel before her grandfather. Then, he would never let her off the hook.

On second thought, Tyler thought differently from ordinary people. If Rachel gave him a look, bhe /bmight tease her for missing him till her eyes hurt.

She skipped past all that and started introducing Yvette to Tyler.

“Mr. Hunt, I’m Rachel’s younger sister, Yvette Lloyd. d to meet you for the very first btime/b!”

Yvette stepped forward eagerly even before Rachel was done introducing her to Tyler.

Rachel was stunned to see Yvette so direct and enthusiastic. She shruggedb, /bdismissing the thought that she suddenly felt so redundant around here.

To her surprise, Tyler didn’t even nce at Yvette.

He stuck his hands in his pockets and said, “I’m heading in

He then strode into the hotel.

Yvette stared at her hand, which was still hanging in mid–air, her face flushing with embarrassment, She pursed her lips and turned to Rachel, looking visibly upset.

“What’s with you just now? Why didn’t you speak up for me?”

Rachel, amused, shrugged helplessly. “I was going to speak just now, but you cut me off, didn’t you? I thought you could handle it yourself.”

With that, Rachel lifted the bhem /bof her dress and headed into the hotel.

bIndignation /bfilled Yvette’s eyes. She pouted as she followed behind Rachel.

“Walt for me…

That was when she realized that Rachel wouldn’t be able to hear her.

William had on a gray suit which entuated his tall, towering figure. His hair was slicked bback/bb, /bmaking him look even colder and more distant than usual. Samantha was wearing a gray strap dress, which matched his outfit.

If Rachel remembered it correctly, bWilliam /bwould always wear a ck suit to banquets. He seldom wore gray or navy blue suits

She had suggested that he wear a different color, but he always said that he didn’t like gray.
