Chapter 721 “What’s the matter now?” Rachel asked, confused.

“Rachel, are we here to talk business or to sell my body?”

Rachel’s mind was still on areas of improvement in the proposal; she was mumbling to herself on ways to cut the cost of investment.

Tyler’s brows were furrowed, the light from the floor–to–ceiling windows reflecting off his face. He tapped his fingers against the table.

“Rachel!”

Rachel finally snapped back to attention as she picked up from where they last left off.

“We’re here to talk business, but you should know better than I do why Anne wants to work with us. Is she

here for the project? She’s here for you. The proposal is critical, but you’re even more critical. If you don’t

make her happy, she can choose not to sign the contract, no matter how good the proposal is.”

Rachel’s perspective on the matter stood in stark contrast to that of Tyler’s.

Tyler was looking at it from an emotional angle, but Rachel was being rational about it. She had one goal

in mind, and that was to secure the deal as quickly as possible.

She had to resolve the crisis that Tyler’s company was facing right now.

Tyler drew nearer to her, casting a shadow over her. He reached out to pull a lock of her hair from the

back of her ear, his movement gentle yet firm.

“Must I use my good looks to prove my merits at work? Or do you not mind it one bit that I go out for drinks with her and allow her to have her way with me, or raise any demands of me? Are you totally

alright with that?”

“You’re taking this too seriously,” Rachel said, instinctively avoiding his hot gaze. “Come on, you’re a man. It’s good enough that you don’t force yourself on women. How could a woman force herself on you?”

“Is that so?” Tyler chuckled, his warm breath tickling her blushing earlobes. “There is technically no difference between the desire a man has for a woman and the desire a woman has for a man.”
