Hansen Ruiz was indeed a cunning fox. He did not directly bring up the main topic but instead used the fact that Rachel Bailey owed him a favor as leverage in the negotiation.
"Why wouldn't I be willing? Just say the word and, if I can help, I'll definitely do it," Rachel cheerfully responded. She had been thinking about repaying the favor, and now that he needed her help, she would naturally assist him to settle the debt of gratitude.
"I have a Wine Party to attend tonight. It's a birthday celebration for a friend of mine, and my presence is mandatory. However, I'm in need of a female companion. Would you be willing to be my date?" asked Hansen Ruiz with a smile, his voice still gentle and steady, betraying no hint of any other emotions.
