"Ms. Lloyd, is that all you've got? Are you actually trying to flirt with me?" He bent his head forward to kiss Rachel's neck. That was when she caught sight of a familiar figure a distance away. As though she spotted her savior, she immediately yelled for him.
"Mr. Hunt!" Howard's hand froze in mid-air, and he looked in the direction of Rachel's gaze. However, there was nothing there.
He said mockingly, "Say, do you have feelings for Tyler? You should be calling out to William for help! Did you get the wrong man?" Rachel was very sure she wasn't mistaken. She was certain she saw Tyler.

"Rachel! Rachel...!" Rachel's eyes widened in surprise. It was Cecilia.
She yelled out loud, "Cecilia! I'm here!" Howard was no fool. He knew that his plan was foiled now that someone was on her way here. It would only spell trouble if more people were drawn here.
He spat on the ground.
"What bad luck! Looks like we'll have to keep our first ttogether for another day. Be good and wait for me, alright?" With that, Howard stood up and dashed off into the woods.
Rachel heaved a sigh of relief, a bitter aftertaste still in her mouth. If Cecilia hadn't rushed over in the nick of time, she wouldn't have been able to escape.
She stood up and smoothed out her clothes. If others were to see the miserable state she was in, she couldn't imagine the kind of rumors spreading around in the office the next day.
There were enough rumors about her spreading. She didn't want more rumors, especially if they involved her and that bastard Howard.

"What happened?! How did you get hurt so badly?"
