Chapter 671

Tyler lowered his head, slightly upset. “You see him as a child, but he might not think the same way about you.”

Rachel, a divorcee, naturally caught the meaning behind Tyler’s words. She didn’t feel anything in particular, aside from having the urge to laugh.

Covering her mouth to suppress her laughter, she said, “Are you going to watch out for every man who crosses my path? Tyler, your jealousy is getting out of hand!”

Tyler nodded pensively. “Yeah, it is.”

He sat back up straight and stepped on the accelerator.

His side profile was tense, his jawline sharp as a blade. Rachel knew at a glance that he was angry.

She pursed her lips, deciding not to bother herself about it.

Tyler was being ridiculous. He could be jealous of anyone but Jerry.

Jerry had been single all these years while working for her. What would a kid like him know?

Tyler had removed all the boys they met at the barbecue eatery who started following Rachel on social media and adjusted her settings so her account was only visible to him. Indeed, every CEO had a domineering side to him.

Rachel ignored him the rest of the way.

Jerry didn’t answer his phone when she called him, so she tried again. This time, he answered it.

“Jerry, head back to the hotel yourself. There are some loose ends to tie up for this project; just finish it up by yourself,” she said.

“Rachel, are you not coming back tonight?”

“Yeah. I need to help Tyler out at his office. Find food near the hotel and eat whatever you like. Don’t count pennies on that.”

“But there are some figures I don’t quite understand?”

“What are they? Send them to me, and I’ll take a look.”

Hearing Rachel’s response, Jerry didn’t push further. “Alright. Rest early if you can.”

Tyler sneered when Rachel hung up. “Seriously, can’t you tell?”

Rachel returned to the home screen on her phone and looked at Tyler with confusion. “What?”

“He’s doing it on purpose. Why did he ask you to go back and take a look at the data when he could have just texted you instead?”

That damn brat.

Rachel somehow found the jealous look on Tyler’s face hilarious. He looked dark and sombre to begin with, his incisive eyes making him appear even colder.

In the past, Rachel would have feared him and the aura he exuded. Yet now, instead of fearing him, she somehow always had the urge to laugh whenever she saw him.

She burst out laughing there and then.

Tyler turned to look at her. “What are you laughing at?”

Rachel could hear the chill in his voice and the intimidating aura he exuded when he turned her attention toward him.

She held back her laughter and shook her head.

“Nothing.”

Tyler retracted his gaze and suddenly stopped the car at the entrance of a mall.

Seeing him unbuckling his seat belt, she asked, “Are you buying something?”

“One of our business partners is coming from abroad in two days. I heard she’s coming back for business development. There is a project up for bid right now, and I want to give it a shot. You know how the company is doing as of late. It’s miles apart from its heyday.”

Rachel understood what he meant. “So you’re doing it yourself this time.”

“Exactly.”

Tyler opened the door but suddenly turned back as a thought came to mind.
