“Forget it. You’re so busy with work. I’ll go alone,” Rachel said.

What good would it do if he came with her? It her mother knew what was going on between them, she would be turning in her grave, angry and upset.

But William, who had always respected Rachel’s mother, firmly replied, “No, it’s her death anniversary. I’ll make sure 120”

“Do whatever you want,” Rachel said flatly, turning to leave.

She was almost out the door when she glanced at Samantha. Her eyebrow raised in silent question.

“Aren’t you leaving, Ms. Judd?”

Samantha pointed to a file she had brought in. “I still need to talk to William about the Oasis Project.”

Rachel barely stifled a smile, the edge of her lips curling in a sarcastic twist. “Oh, really? You two take your time.”

Just as she was about to close the door, she heard Samantha’s voice–whining, almost pleading

“William, you said that bracelet was for me. You promised it would have both our names on it. So, why does Rachel have one?”

William’s expression turned sharp as he waved his hand, signaling her to keep quiet. “Keep your voice down.”

Samantha didn’t stop. “What’s the big deal? Rachel can’t hear anyway. Why would you lie to me…”

Rachel didn’t look up as she calmly stacked the files on her desk. One of them slipped out, and she bent down to pick it up. It was the file she had spent late nights working on, the one she had taken to Tyler’s company for negotiations.

Having poured her all into it, she felt confident about it. If Tyler really wanted to control the Oasis Project, he wouldn’t find better proposal than this.

Was she really going to break her promise to her mother?

Rachel gripped the corner of the file tightly, feeling a wave of frustration. She couldn’t stand the thought of Samantha, a complete rookie, being given the Oasis Project. The woman couldn’t even handle the data correctly. How could she possibly manage such an important project?

But Tyler was like a wall—impossible to break down.

Rachel couldn’t do anything about it..

Cecilia noticed Rachel wasn’t saying anything and waved her hand in front of her face. “What are you thinking about? What was everyone talking about?”

Rachel sighed. “Nothing. Just a small issue. Don’t worry, I’m fine.
