Countdown to My Divorce (Rachel and William) novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96

“Well? Think it over,” Tyler drawled, eyes locked on Samantha.

Samantha pressed her lips together, falling deep into thought.

If she said yes to Tyler, her future at LS Enterprise would probably be a lot brighter. Lewis Enterprise wasn’t even a real competitor to Tyler’s company anymore.

But at Lewis Enterprise, she had William’s protection. Things were easier and safer there.

Still… Tyler was different. Rumors had it that he came from really powerful background. No one really knew where he came from, but everyone knew not to underestimate him.

More importantly, if she could get Tyler to fall for her…

Samantha glanced carefully at William, hoping for some kind of sign.

“William,” she said sweetly, “can I just try working with Mr. Hunt for a while? If I can learn more over there, maybe I can come back and help you even better.”

William’s face darkened, his brows knitting together. “You really want to go to LS?”

Everyone knew what Tyler was doing he was poaching someone right in front of William on purpose to embarrass the latter.

Samantha pouted and tugged gently on William’s sleeve. “I’m doing this for you. Think about it—if I can learn something valuable there, isn’t that a good thing for you too?”

William didn’t want to argue with her in front of so many people. He yanked his sleeve out of her grasp and stepped back.

“Do whatever you want.”

Samantha immediately beamed and turned to Tyler. “Then, Mr. Hunt, now that William agreed, can you make me the lead on Project Oasis?”

Tyler gave a lazy, mocking smile. His eyes, sharp and cold, landed straight on William.

“This is the woman you picked?” he said. “Someone who runs off the second another man so much as crooks a finger? What exactly are you so proud of?”

William’s eyes narrowed; he shot Tyler a cold, sideways glance.

Tyler ignored William’s displeased glare. With both hands tucked into his pockets, he let out a soft cough, his voice slipping back into that usual, cool tone.

“Sorry, Ms. Judd. I was just joking, earlier. But if you’re really interested in being an assistant, you’re welcome to apply through the proper channels. LS is always open to new talent.”

Samantha stood there in shock, frozen in place. Her face drained of color, then flushed red, like she didn’t know whether to be humiliated or furious.

Yvette couldn’t hold back a laugh. “How embarrassing!”

Rachel nudged her elbow, giving her a look to remind her to control herself. Yvette quickly pulled herself together.

William narrowed his eyes, his lips pressed into a tight line “Mr. Hunt, is this how you handle people? Making fun of others just for sport?”

“It was just a joke,” Tyler said casually. “Didn’t actually steal your girl, did 1? Relax.”

His smile was sharp, almost careless. It was the kind that always made people unsure if he was playing or dead serious. One moment he looked like a cold–hearted judge, the next, a rebel who cared about nothing.
