Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87

“I can be a matchmaker, but I can’t guarantee that Tyler will take a fancy to her. He’s a picky man, very unfathomable. I really don’t know him very well.”

Gerald wasn’t bent on forcing Rachel to do anything more than that. “Sure.”

Rachel stood up, not wanting to stay here for a minute longer. “Wait for my call, then.”

After leaving her old home, Rachel could finally breathe easily. She felt so suffocated inside. She subconsciously touched the tender, wounded part of her forehead and hissed in pain. Yvette was vicious, as usual. Thankfully, she was still in shape to head home.

She pulled her phone out to call for a cab, and saw a text from Cecilia.

[Aren’t you supposed to go home today to celebrate your father’s birthday?]

Rachel thought Cecilia had something to ask her, and quickly texted her a reply. [Yeah, what’s up?]

Cecilia sent her an angry face emoji, along with another text. [Look at Samantha’s socials!]

Rachel found something Samantha posted half an hour ago.

[Hope that I’ll have my most loved one by my side on my birthday every year from now on.]

The post came accompanied by a picture.

In the picture, Samantha turned around while strolling along the beach, her hand holding another man’s hand. Although the man’s face couldn’t be seen, Rachel could clearly recognize that hand.

William was careful enough to remove his wedding ring, but the mark left behind could clearly be seen.

Rachel sneered sardonically. When William said he was busy, he was actually referring to celebrating Samantha’s birthday.

He clearly knew how the Lloyds mistreated Rachel, and also how Sasha and Yvette would hold themselves back on his account. Otherwise, they would bully her fearlessly as they did today.

William knew it he knew it all, yet he stood her up and left her alone in such a difficult situation.

She

e put her phone aside and hailed a cab back home. On her way back, she texted Cecilia

[Can you help me check on Tyler’s schedule over the next few days?]

Cecilia, as always, agreed to it readily. [Give me five minutes.]

Rachel knew Cecilia had a way to get it.

She hadn’t agreed to William firing, Cecilia for Samantha’s sake. Cecilia was a long–time employee of the company, with an extensive network and deep connections. Losing her would be a blow to Lewis Enterprise.

It was also difficult for Cecilia to find a new job, especially with that fiasco.

Rachel sat there in a daze for five minutes until Cecilia sent her another text.

There’s a banquet at Regal Vale Hotel tomorrow night. Mr. Lewis will be there, too. I heard that Mr. Lewis might be there tomorrow to sign an agreement with Mr. Hunt.)

Rachel felt a mix of joy and gloom at the news.

She was glad to hear of a chance to introduce Yvette to Tyler, but also dreaded the moment William would see the proposal for the management rights of Project Oasis, which he would have the right to read upon signing the agreement with Tyler. He would then realize that all along she had been the one behind the proposal.
