Chapter 438 Hill

Rachel's tone was inviting but not pushy, the perfect blend of casual and suggestive. 

Just enough to make it seem like an afterthought—like he could say no, but why would he?

She watched him carefully, waiting for his reaction.

Ross Oakley wasn't a man who was easily swayed.

But Rachel was done playing it safe. If she wanted to get closer to him, she would have to step up her game.

Ross leaned back slightly, studying her with amusement. 

Then, in a slow, teasing tone, he asked, "Are you saying what I think you're saying, Rachel? Because if you're not, and you're just leading me on for nothing, then no thanks. I'd rather spend my time with my wives and family than waste it here."

His words were playful, but his eyes held a knowing glint. 

He already knew how this night would end.

Rachel smirked, undeterred. 

"You won't know until you come up."
