Yvette was so caught up in watching, she couldn’t help whispering to Rachel, “She’s pretty good, I’ll give her that. I don’t think you can win this round. They might even rece you on the project. No man can resist a woman acting sweet and you don’t seem to know how to do that.”

Rachel couldn’t argue with that.

Who would’ve thought Samantha would drop her pride and cry right in front of Tyler? She cried softly and pitifully, like ba /blittlemb no one had the heart to bully.

Then, Rachel looked at Tyler.

He didn’t reject her right baway/b–and as long as he didn’t say no immediately, it meant there was still a chance.

She quietly clenched her palm, eyes clear and cold as they locked on Tyler. If he changed his mind bnow/b, everything she had worked for would be wasted.

Tyler had sharp eyes, a tall brow boneb, /band striking features that gave him a naturally intense kind of charm. He raised a hand to rub his brow, and sighed.

“When Ms. Judd cries like this, it goes straight to my heart.”

Rachel’s breath caught. Her brows pulled together, and her shoulders slumped.

She knew it no matter how different Tyler might seem, he was still a man. And no man could truly resist a woman who knew how to act soft and helpless.

And Samantha had that ability–that way of bdrawing /bsympathy from men without even trying.

Samantha sniffled softly, her voice gentle and sweet.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Hunt. That bwas /bembarrassing. I know I’m not as capable as Rachel, and I’m totally okay with her leading this project. I really am. Buttely, she’s been wrapped up in so many rumors. People in thepany are starting to bthink /bshe’s been secretly working with ban /boutside firm. But as long as it doesn’t hurt thepany, I bguess /bit doesn’t really matter. I don’t know if others trust her–but I bdo/bb,/b”

Tyler stared at Samantha’s tear–streaked face for a moment, then let out a faint smirk.

“Didn’t realize you and Ms. Lloyd were such good friends.”

Samantha looked a little flustered under his gaze.

“You’re too kind, Mr. Hunt,” she said with a soft smile.

Her heart flutteredb, /band she thought maybe things were turning around. bThis /bproject meant everything to her.

If she could pull off the Oasis Project, she would finally make a name for herself back home. People at Lewis Enterprise would stop doubting her behind her back–band /bno one wouldpare her to Rachel ever again.

William nced at Tyler, a thoughtful look in his eyes. Based on what he knew about Tylerb, /bbthis /bshift didn’t make

bsense/b.

Tyler had been firm thest time they spoke–this project had to be led by Rachel. He valued results band /befficiency. He didn’t trust people like Samantha, who only knew how to work connections from behind the scenes.

So why bthe /bsudden change?

William was still trying to figure it out when Samantha, unable to hold back anymore, leaned forward.

“Mr. Hunt, I know you t

I’ve got to this project!”

misunderstood me beforeb, /bbut could you bgive /bme a chance? I’ll give everything

Tyler slowly set down his champagne ssb, /bthen leaned in closer to her.

Samantha’s eyes widened in shock. That face–so ridiculously good–looking–could bthrow /banyone off bnce. Without thinking, she curled her fingers into a fist, her voice even softer.

“Mr. Hunt, you…”

“Have you ever thought about joining ourpany?” Tyler asked, voice low. “Be my assistant.”

Rachel stared at him in disbelief. Even William had the same stunned expression.

What on earth was Tyler doing?

He was poaching someone–right in front of William!
