Cecilia was startled by the strange look on Rachel's face . " Hey ! What's going on ? You're scaring me . " Rachel quickly shook her head . " I'm fine . I just need to go out for a bit . " Cecilia frowned and called out , " But we still have a meeting with Trinity Enterprise … " Rachel didn't reply , just left the office . She took a cab to her mother's old house , which had been sitting empty for a long time . At one point , she had considered selling it . But William had said , " We don't need the money . Just leave the house here . It'll be a way for you to hold onto your memories . Whenever you come back , you'll feel like your mom is still with you . " In her final days , her mother had trusted William with everything , and Rachel understood why . At that time , he treated her mother even better than she did . Neighbors praised him endlessly , and sometimes she even felt like she didn't measure up . But even the best people could change . Rachel unlocked the door and stepped inside her mother's room . She pulled down a box from the top of the wardrobe and opened it , going through it until she found an old photo album . Yes , this was where she had seen Tyler before . Rachel sat cross - legged on the floor , flipping through the pages slowly until she finally found the photo on the second - to - last page . Tyler must have been about 16 or 17 at the time , but was already over six feet tall . His face still held a trace of youthful awkwardness , yet the lines were starting to sharpen . Even then , there was already a hint of coldness in his expression . His handsome face was set in a slight frown , and somehow , that subtle expression carried a quiet kind of pressure . So , even back then , there was something in his eyes that felt intense . No wonder every time Rachel saw him , she felt a bit intimidated . Standing next to Tyler in the photo was his mother . The picture had clearly been torn up and carefully put back together . But how could Rachel's mother know Tyler's mother ? Now , everything made sense. That feeling of familiarity she always had when she s she needed to rely on this photo to get what she wanted . She quickly tucked the photo into her bag and rushed out to take a cab to LS Enterprise . Tyler - it was finally clicking . But now , Just then , Samantha happened to step out of the building with her colleague , Helena York . Helena tugged at Samantha's sleeve and pointed . " Isn't that Ms. Lloyd ? " Samantha stopped to look , then nodded . Confusion crossed her face . " Wait , isn't that Mr. Hunt's company ? What's Rachel doing there ? " " I'm not sure , " Helena replied . " But LS Enterprise and Lewis Enterprise have been competitors for a while . Mr. Lewis and Mr. Hunt don't get along . Every time they meet , they can't stand each other . And for years , Lewis Enterprise was the top company . " But after Mr. Hunt built up LS Enterprise in just two years , they surpassed Lewis Enterprise . So , we're enemies with LS Enterprise . I wonder what Ms. Lloyd is doing there . " Samantha gasped and covered her mouth . " Do you think Rachel might be planning to switch companies ? " Rachel arrived at the front desk of LS Enterprise and asked to meet Tyler , but the receptionist immediately refused . Chapter 20 +25 BONUS " I'm sorry , but we don't allow meetings without an appointment . Maybe you could try calling him ? " Rachel checked the time . She still had half an hour before her next meeting with a business partner , but the Oasis Project was down to its last three days . If she couldn't convince Tyler soon , there was no way to recover the money for the project . " I don't have his phone number , " she said . The receptionist raised an eyebrow . " You don't have Mr. Hunt's number ? That's even more reason I can't let you go up , then . " Just as the receptionist was about to say more , the phone rang . pa
