“Come out.”
After Tess left, the smile on Max’s face didn’t change–instead, it felt much colder.

Hezily lifted his eyelids. “You’re staying. You know what you should and shouldn’t do, right?”
Rachel dug her fingers into her palm and nodded hard.
Max raised a brow and let out an exaggerated yawn.
“Mr. Hunt, I’m a woman too. I can tell how sincere you are about Ms. Tess<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Rachel suddenly spoke.
At that, most of Max’s drowsiness vanished.
He looked Rachel over with interest.
She was just an ordinary woman from the countryside, though she kept herself well and looked younger than her age.
Nothing special.
Max looked away, his eyes cooling. “That’s none of your business.”
He turned to leave.
“I can help you get back together with her!”
Sensing the two burly bodyguards closing in behind her, Rachel called out urgently.
Sure enough, the words “get back together” made Max stop, He slowly turned around.
“Where’s that confidenceing from?”
He said that, but his eyes stayed on Rachel.
Rachel straightened her back and lifted her chin, trying to look convincing.
“Then please rest for now. I’ll write you a n‘ right here.”
“A n? Why should I believe you? And why should I waste my time on you?”

Rachel suddenly smiled. Her eyes curved slightly as she rubbed her hands together in a ttering gesture. “I heard them call you Mr. Hunt.”
She took another bold step forward. “Mr. Hunt, I won’t take much of your time. Just lend me a
pen here. It’ste anyway, and you should be resting. I know better than to make you wait on <ol><li>me. </li></ol>
“As for why you should believe me… I may not have known Ms. Tess long, but I’ve lived long enough and seen many women. I’m a woman myself. I understand women best.
She tried to make her voice sound sincere, persuading him word by word.
Little by little, Max began to waver.
He narrowed his eyes. A final trace of wariness remained in them. “You really think you can do it?”
“Of course!”
Seeing hope, Rachel nodded hard.
Her eyes were earnest, as if she truly wanted to help him.
Max nced around, then suddenly stood up and brushed imaginary dust from his pant leg.
“Fine. I’ll give you one chance. If you really can make her change her mind, I won’t shortchange you.”
Max finally loosened.
Rachel’s eyes lit up at once. “Okay! I won’t let you down. Don’t worry. I’ll have it ready for you first thing tomorrow morning.”
Max noddedzily, then pointed at Fred. “You. Give her the office key. If there’s no so–called ‘n‘ on my desk tomorrow morning…”
He raised a brow and didn’t finish his sentence, but the air suddenly felt heavy.
Fred quickly pulled out a key and pressed it into Rachel’s hand.
Rachel’s heart was in her throat. She nodded hard and lowered her head, waiting for Max to leave.

Fred lingered behind, giving Rachel a warning look before leaving the door slightly ajar and going out.
When the footsteps outside finally faded, the office fell silent. Rachel tiptoed to the door and carefully closed thest narrow crack.
She scanned the office. Her gaze settled on the bookcase.
Not long ago, Tess had walked out. Rachel had been held in this very room, forced <i>to </i>watch her husband leave with Tess while she herself remained behind like a dead weight<i>… </i>or rather, a hostage.
Her heart ached.
She let out a soft sigh, then began pacing around the office restlessly. A sheet of paper in her left hand, a pen in her right.
She wandered and wandered until she stopped in front of the bookcase and looked it down.
“So these are the books the big shots on TV read?”
She stared at the thick volumes and muttered in awe.
up
and
Not a single light read. They were all about economics, market trends, and theories that made her head hurt at a nce.
Rachel clicked her tongue.
“Sigh.”
She sighed again and lowered her head. “It’s all this kind of stuff. I can’t even find something to copy from. Ms. Tess … let me think how to help you get your heart back.”
She dragged a chair in front of the bookcase, as if the sight of books could spark inspiration.
She ced the nk paper on herp. From time to time, she looked up at the shelves, then back down, scribbling away with her pen.
