Chapter 571

They weren’t even a real couple to begin with. What was he jealous about? What was more, shouldn’t she be the one more invested in this?

Rachel held the skewer of meat in one hand and her phone in the other as her fingers flew swiftly across the keyboard on her screen.

[Rubbish. That’s complete nonsense.]

With that, she put her phone screen-side down on the table. She looked cautiously at Tyler and found him with his head lowered, concentrating on his skewer and refusing to speak a word to her.

There was clearly a storm brewing in his eyes.

Was he really mad?

Rachel tried to break the ice with him. She waved her favorite beef skewer before Tyler as a sign of goodwill.

“Try this. See if you find it delicious.”

Tyler looked coldly at her and took the skewer after a moment’s hesitation. “Why didn’t you offer this to one of those young and handsome boys?”

Rachel sat stunned at his words as Cecilia’s reminder flashed past her mind. Was Tyler really jealous?

She asked Tyler half-jokingly, “Tyler, are you jealous?”

Tyler shot her a lazy gaze. “Rachel, did the attention they gave you earlier stoke your ego so much you forgot your name?”

His snide remark told Rachel that she had indeed been overthinking, as she thought. On the other hand, she felt relieved.

The idea of Tyler liking her felt utterly ridiculous to her.

Tyler didn’t say anything else after that. With nothing else to say, Rachel started scrolling through the social media profiles of the young lads who had just followed her.

The more she scrolled through their profiles, the more hooked she became. Even the corners of her lips lifted unknowingly in a smile.

Youngsters nowadays entertained themselves in a myriad of interesting ways, including working out, showing off their sculpted abs…

Tyler couldn’t stand the obsession on Rachel’s face and banged a skewer on the table.

“We’re done here. Let’s go.”

Rachel snapped back to attention and hurriedly put her phone away before standing up and following Tyler back to where he had parked his car.

She was about to open the door to the front passenger seat when Tyler pressed her hand down to stop her.

Rachel looked up at him in confusion. “What’s the matter?”

“Go buy me a pack of cigarettes. My phone is out of battery and I need to deal with some issues at work.”

Rachel didn’t give it much thought. Plus, it was reasonable for Tyler to be dealing with issues cropping up anytime.

She handed her phone to Tyler and reminded him, “Don’t go peeking into things you shouldn’t be looking at. Anyway, what brand of cigarettes do you want?”

“The most expensive one.”

Rachel looked around her and spotted a grocer a short distance away.

The moment she left, Tyler unlocked her phone and navigated to her social media account, in which he saw dozens of unread messages.

His brows furrowed tightly as he recalled what had happened just now. Were there that many boys who followed her social media account just now?

He didn’t even know her social media handle. He pulled out his phone, searched for her name, and followed her. Then, he clicked on the messages they sent her.

[Miss, I was the one in black just now. Can I ask you if you have a boyfriend? I like you very much.]

[Miss, it’s fine even if you have a boyfriend. I don’t mind that. I’ll be content as long as you have a meal with me whenever you’re free.]
