At Rachel’s words, Samantha’s face fell.

She looked at Rachel with a pitiful expression and pleaded, “Rache, don’t you know Mr. Hunt? For you, it’s just a matter of a phone call. How am I supposed to secure an appointment with him?”

Samantha tugged on the hem of William’s jacket, the same piteous look still on her face.

“William, talk to Rachel. Don’t you always say that she’s the nicest”

William looked at Samantha’s red–rimmed eyes and comforted her tenderly, “Don’t worry, I know Rachel best. She wouldn’t decline to help. Forget helping you, she even gives money to the homeless on the streets!”

Samantha heaved a sigh of relief and patted her chest. “That’s great! I knew Rachel wasn’t such a heartless person.”

Rachel’s eyes narrowed.

William turned around and said to her, “Rachel, you know Mr. Hunt. He even helped you before. Just find an excuse to ask him out for a meal. It shouldn’t be a problem.”

Again, it wasn’t a question but a declaration.

Rachel’s eyes were filled with cold disdain. Did William forget what he reminded her of earlier? He demanded she not get too close to Tyler, claiming that Tyler was temperamental and elusive.

Yet now, for Samantha’s sake, he wanted her to ask Tyler out.

Hah! This was the man she loved for seven years. Before finding out about Samantha, Rachel had intended to have his baby in one or two years.

She had been an utter fool.

However, she calmed her raging emotions down and agreed without an ounce of displeasure on her face.

“I’ll give it a try.”

Samantha grabbed Rachel’s hand agitatedly. She had on a little makeup, and the light blush on her cheeks made her look even more likable.

“Thank you so much, Rachel! If you could land a meeting with Mr. Hunt, William and I will treat you to a meal.”

The smile on Rachel’s face froze.

Rachel wasn’t sure if Samantha spoke too quickly and without restraint because she was too happy, or if this woman had done it on purpose.

Samantha was deliberately hinting that she and William were on the same side, while Rachel was merely an outsider.

William, sensing something was wrong with Samantha’s words, coughed lightly. He signed to Rachel, “I’ll have Arsen help you move your things to the new office.”

“No need. I can do it myself. I don’t have that many things.”

Rachel originally thought that she could bear with it for just a few more days, but she recently had serious breathing problems affecting daily life and work. It was certainly better for her to be in another room.

William didn’t push further. He glanced at his watch.

“I need to go for a meeting.”

With that, Samantha left with him.
