“Rachel, Mr. Lewis seems to have received news about you snatching the Sky Tech Enterprise project from him. He’s been rejected by Sky Tech Enterprise for giarism, and he’s even in the headlines!


    “Coupled with the aftermath of what happened before, not onepany in Yurelia City is willing to work with Lewis Enterprise. One thing is, Mr. Lewis now suspects you and thinks you found someone to frame. him. Do watch out for yourself.”


    Cecilia still felt lingering fear from what happened a few years back. Although it was just an ident, violence was often perpetuated through such idents.


    Rachel was fearless, however. Upon hearing Cecilia’s update, she scoffed.


    “I wasn’t the one who started this. If he hadn’t ndered my dad, I wouldn’t have needed to go to Tyler.


    Whatever it is, he had iting.”


    She couldn’t stand idly by and let William do whatever he pleased. They were adults, and he had to pay the price for his actions.


    Cecilia knew full well that Rachel would never waver once she set her mind to it. “No matter what happens, you know you have my full support.”


    “There’s actually one more thing I need to tell you…” Rachel paused.


    “Go ahead,” Cecilia urged.


    Rachel told Cecilia about her conversation with Tyler just now. Cecilia knew about this part of her past,


    too.


    Rachel wasn’t the one who raised it to Cecilia, though. It was by chance that Cecilia came to know about <ol><li>it. </li></ol>


    When Rachel was done recounting what happened, Cecilia fell silent. Rachel even thought that she had hung up and nced at her phone screen to check.


    “Hello…?”


    “I’m still here. I was just thinking that Mr. Hunt probably likes you.”


    Rachel was momentarily stunned to hear that. “What did you say?”


    She suspected that something was wrong with her hearing.


    Cecilia started analyzing the situation for Rachel. “Think about it. If he doesn’t like you, why did he ask you that question? Given his personality, would he seek your opinion if he didn’t care at all?”


    “Cecilia, you’vepletely misunderstood things. He’s always like this, teasing me for no reason


    whatsoever,” Rachel replied nonchntly.


    His acting skills were so ster, he could pretend to fancy even a dog, as long as he wanted to.


    Cecilia was adamant. “You must trust my instincts on people.”


    Rachel reminded her, “I’m telling you, you can trust your gut on others, but Tyler Hunt… I’m not sure if you can even call him a person.”


    “Huh?”


    “Wait, I’m not saying that he’s not human. I mean that you can hardly consider him an ordinary person.”


    You couldn’t read Tyler. Common sense was pointless when it came to him. His mind worked in ways that transcended the mind of an ordinary man.


    Cecilia knew Rachel wouldn’t dare believe that possibility right now, but she believed that in time toe, their rtionship was bound to blossom.


    Still, she decided to drop the subject.


    “Anyway, are you going to Mr. Hunt’s home with him tomorrow?”


    “Yeah.”


    “That’s great. You’re meeting the inws now,” Cecilia joked.


    Rachel felt embarrassed by Cecilia’s teasing. “Don’t be silly!”


    “I’m not,” Cecilia said with a chuckle. “I’m telling the truth. Mr. Hunt’s taking you to see his family, isn’t he?”


    Although they were putting on an act, Rachel still felt rather nervous. She wanted to make sure she did a good job putting on this act


    “Should I buy his father something?”


    Cecilia nodded. “You should. Since it’s his birthday, you can bet many people will be there. Whether your rtionship with Mr. Hunt is real or not, you’ve got to keep up the pretense.”


    Rachel thought she might not be in time to get a present tomorrow.


    “Shall I head out right now to get a present?”
