Rachel said to Sharon, "See Mr. Hunt out."

"Alright."

Hearing that she was the one to escort Tyler out, Sharon quickly put down the coffee and hurried after him.

Inside the conference room, Cecilia walked up to Rachel and said, "Rachel, aren't we being a bit too hasty? Shouldn't we take it slow?"

"There's no time to take it slow. If we wait until others catch on, there'll be nothing left for us."

Cecilia had never seen Rachel so ambitious. Based on what she knew of the latter, it didn't seem like Rachel was the kind of person to be so rash. She tugged gently on Rachel's sleeve.

"Rachel, what are you really thinking? I feel like I don't really know you anymore."

Rachel turned to the side. Her eyes shone with determination. Rather than feeling discouraged by Tyler's rejection, she looked even more spirited than before.

Cecilia felt as if she were seeing a golden light radiating from within Rachel, making her seem almost haloed in brilliance.

Rachel looked at Cecilia and asked, "Do you want our company to surpass Lewis Enterprise?"

Right now, in all of Yurelia City, LS Enterprise was the largest, followed by Lewis Enterprise.

But Rachel wanted William to fall.

Cecilia’s pupils contracted when she heard this. She was trembling slightly.

"Rachel, do you actually want to surpass Lewis Enterprise?"

"Don't you? All these years, you've never had a real shot at your career, always tied down by your family. Are you really willing to stay like that forever?"

Cecilia hesitated for a moment, but Rachel's words completely swayed her. "Alright, I'm with you. From now on, whatever you say goes."

Rachel patted her on the shoulder. "That's more like it."

Cecilia still looked worried. "But what about Mr. Hunt?"

"What's the rush? Take it slow. It's not just him. Anyone I take this proposal to is going to reject it at first."

She had already mentally prepared for that.

Cecilia nodded.

Just then, Gary came in with a notice from the HR department.

"Mr. Hunt! Mr. Hunt…"

He jogged into the conference room, only to find that Rachel and Cecilia were the only ones there.

"Where's Mr. Hunt?"

"He left," Rachel said.

"And the project?"

Rachel casually replied, "Mr. Hunt said he'd go back and think about it."

Gary clapped his hands happily. "Excellent! That means it's practically a done deal!"

Rachel and Cecilia exchanged glances.

Wasn't he getting a little too excited, too soon?

Meanwhile, Sharon followed Tyler out of the elevator, her high heels clicking as she half-jogged behind him.

"Mr. Hunt, Mr. Hunt!"

Tyler stopped. He tucked his hands into his pockets. His expression was cold, and his voice was unusually calm. "Tell Ms. Rachel that there's no need to see me off."

Sharon nervously pinched her fingers. She was looking at Tyler with a hint of shyness.

"Mr. Hunt, I just wanted to say, please don't be fooled by her appearance."

Tyler furrowed his brows slightly and turned around. "Huh?"

Seeing he was willing to listen, Sharon quickly continued, "Think about it, Mr. Hunt. That artificial intelligence project she mentioned – replacing human brains with machines? That's just not realistic!

"She only came to you because you're rich and kind. If she approached anyone else, they wouldn't even let her finish her pitch.

"Please, Mr. Hunt, don't fall for her tricks. She's just trying everything she can to seduce you, so she can use you as a stepping stone to secure her place in Lloyd Enterprise."
