Tyler gave Rachel a thumbs up and said with feigned seriousness,Very good . Don't ever be a pick - me girl . " Rachel thought he said it in all seriousness , but the deep chuckle he couldn't suppress dumbfounded her . Was he praising her or insulting her ? She couldn't be sure . With feigned casualness , she waved her hand and said , " I'm heading back . " Rachel took a step forward , but suddenly felt something tugging her back . For a while , she stood stunned . She tried to take another step forward , but the tugging sensation remained . When she looked around to see what was going on , she found the dog biting Rachel looked at Tyler doubtfully . " What does he want ? " on " Perhaps ... he can't bear to see you leave ? " Tyler said with a smirk the dog was the hem of her dress . very sensible indeed . glistening with tender affection . Rachel noticed that the dog's eyes weren't as fierce as before . Rather , they were She didn't have the guts to clash head - on with a beast . She tried many times to pull away , only for her efforts to be in vain . In the end , she had no choice but to ask Tyler for help . " Can you please pull him away ? " Tyler crossed his arms across his chest and stood at the side , with no intention whatsoever to interfere . " I can't , " he said helplessly . " He has a rebellious streak . The more you force him to let go , the tighter he'll bite it . You have to negotiate with him . " " Negotiate with him ... " Rachel froze for a second before snapping back to attention . " What on earth is there to negotiate over with a dog ? " " Tell him to let you go , and that you'll bring some snacks next time , " Tyler advised , patiently teaching her how to coax a dog . Rachel knew clearly that this was her first and last time coming to Tyler's place . How could there be a next time , and for her to bring snacks for the dog at that ? In truth , Tyler was the dog he was talking about . To leave this place as soon as she could , Rachel reluctantly bent over and started to negotiate with the dog . " Can you please let me go ? I'll bring some meat for you next time . Pork , or grilled sausages , okay ? " She wasn't sure if the dog understood her or not , but it wagged its tail and peered at her with glistening eyes . At that moment , Rachel had a feeling that the dog didn't actually care about food , but treated her as food instead . She received no response from the dog , and it continued biting her dress . She started doubting whether her words had any effect on it . Rachel instinctively turned to Tyler . " He's not responding . " " Perhaps he thinks you're just making empty promises . " Rachel was taken aback . " Seriously ? How can he tell ? " Tyler suddenly called out to the dog , " Ray , let her go . " The dog immediately released Rachel's dress . Rachel's brows knitted when realization hit her . She stood , looking somewhat annoyed . " Tyler Hunt ...

" You have no clue . I'm treating him with courtesy before resorting to aggression , " Tyler said casually . Rachel clenched her fists and took a deep breath to calm herself down . It was fine - she was going to leave very soon , and she wouldn't have any interactions with Tyler anymore . He was born with a wicked streak , and it wasn't targeted at anyone in particular . He treated everyone around him equally . When Rachel finally managed to compose herself , she slowly unclenched her fists and forced a smile on her face . " What did you call the dog ? " " Ray . " " Ray ... " Rachel was rendered speechless once more - that sounded like her name . In disbelief , she asked , " Your dog is really called Ray ? " " Yeah . Ray , pull Rachel over . " The dog obediently latched onto the hem of Rachel's dress again and pulled her in Tyler's direction . Unable to resist the strength of such a huge dog , Rachel was forced to move toward Tyler .
