Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 179

Chapter 179

If her memory served her well, she knew there weren’t any shops around selling beverages. One had to walk very far to buy a bottle of water, not to mention something as luxurious as hot cocoa.

“A lady from the reception brought some hot cocoa up the hill and said that she had an extra cup. She saw how handsome I was and offered it to me,” Tyler said lazily.

Rachel didn’t doubt the effect his good looks had on ladies ranging between the ages of 10 to 50. All of them would fall prey to that devilishly handsome face of his.

Putting aside his sharp tongue, she did agree that Tyler did look like an exquisite masterpiece carved by the heavens. She couldn’t find a single flaw in his physical appearance.

His girlfriend would need to be of stout heart, though. A delicate princess spoiled by doting parents would probably burst out in tears just from being teased by him.

Just then, Rachel’s phone buzzed. It was William calling.

She didn’t answer the call.

At the next moment, a text popped up on her phone screen.

[Where are you?]

[What is it?]

Rachel really didn’t want to reply to him, but on second thought, she thought it better to put up a complete act and carry it through to the end.

William texted her, [Come to room 502. I have something to ask you.]

Rachel felt her heart drop with a thud.

Why did William suddenly want to talk to her? Was there something regarding Samantha that was still unresolved, or did Samantha tell him something?

What frightened Rachel most was the possibility that something bad had happened to Samantha’s baby.

William would kill her if that happened!

Rachel released her grip on the cup of cocoa as she composed herself.

[Okay.]

After sending the text, she stood up from the swing. “If there’s nothing else, Mr. Hunt, I’ll be heading back.”

Rachel shook the cup of warm cocoa in her hand. “Thanks for this.”

She could draw a clear line between different matters.

Tyler watched her petite back figure walking away, each step firm with determination.

A figure appeared next to him. “I say, Tyler. You called me all the way here just to buy a cup of warm cocoa for that lady?” Tyler glanced coolly at him. “What, did I not pay you enough?”

Shiloh didn’t dare to argue with Tyler, who never failed to get his way. Even getting his hands on the moon in the sky was possible for him.

With a wave of his hand, Shiloh said, “No, but how is that lady related to you? I’ve never seen you put so much effort into someone before.”

Shiloh had been friends with Tyler for many years, and knew he wasn’t the sort to buy warm cocoa for a lady. If any other lady were to ask Tyler for some hot cocoa, he would only say that it was filled with sugar and chemicals that would only make one grow fat and age faster.

Tyler stuck his hands in his pockets and cast Shiloh a sideways glance. “Do you have a lot of time on your hands? Should I give you some work to do at the subsidiary company?”

Shiloh shuddered at Tyler’s threat. “Perhaps…perhaps not.”

A thought suddenly came to Tyler’s mind, and he rubbed the bridge of his nose. “What was Howard doing here?”

“I looked into it. Howard somehow knew that your company was having a team bonding session and made a special trip here. He even asked an employee from Lewis Enterprise.”
