Yale was dumbfounded. “Ms. Lloyd, if we stop now, we’ll definitely lose him.”
“Trust me. Just pull over.”
Hearing that, Yale had no choice. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, Rachel would most likely become Tyler’s wife. Offending her was out of the question. Besides, if what they were doing behind
Tyler’s back ever came to light, he’d probably need her to put in a good word for him.
Yale pulled over, and Rachel unbuckled her seatbelt, quickly switching seats with him. By the time he realized what was happening, he was already sitting in the passenger seat.
“Wait–Ms. Lloyd, you’ve seen Mr. Hunt drive. He’s no slouch. And you’re wearing heels, what if
something hap-”
Before he could finish, Rachel stepped on the accelerator and shot forward. Yale nearly slammed into the
dashboard, only saved by his seatbelt.
He clutched the door handle tight, eyes glued to the road ahead, terrified that her driving might cause an
accident.
As it turned out, he had completely underestimated her. He thought he knew Rachel well enough after
working for Tyler all these years, but he had no idea she could drive like this. The way her hands and feet

Yale couldn’t help but give her a thumbs–up. Respect was written all over his face.
“You’re incredible, Ms. Lloyd. Honestly, I always thought it was a waste for you to stay at Lewis
Enterprise. You’d be better off in our company.”
Rachel shook her head. “Tyler has you guys already, that’s more than enough. Me joining wouldn’t really
make sense.”
Her ambitions lay elsewhere anyway. Back at the research institute, her colleagues had been talking about developing a new project–something that could benefit everyone. She wanted to give it a shot.
Meanwhile, the car shot through the busy streets like a fish slipping through a stream, never easing up

for a second. Yale, stuck in the passenger seat, was paying the price. Rachel kept swerving and cutting lanes. Even strapped in, he was tossed around like he was stuck on a carnival ride.
Frowning, he felt his lunch threatening to come back up.
By the time they finally screeched to a halt, it was the last straw.
