The beautiful, slim woman stood in front of Vicky and smiled. "Is Miss Lynn alright?""Thank you for your help, Miss Young," said Vicky, her expression flat. "Cece is fine now.""Miss Shaw, can I have a word with you? In private?"Vicky remained quiet for a few seconds and she looked at Cece. "Cece, wait for me outside."Cece gave Vicky a worried look before she nodded and left.After Cece left, Vicky said, "Miss Young, what do you want to talk to me about?"Sheila walked to the sink and, turning on the tap to wash her hands, asked, "Are you and Tyler fighting?"Vicky's pupils shrunk. She looked at Sheila with a straight face and did not answer.From the mirror, Sheila could see Vicky's expression.She smiled. "Don't misunderstand me, Miss Shaw. I don't mean anything else. It's just that Tyler didn't help you when you were in trouble just now, so I guessed that you two are fighting. There's no reason why Tyler won't help you."Vicky replied plainly, "You do know him very well
Sheila curled her lips into a mocking smile. "I know my place. Just because he's investing in a movie for me doesn't mean I can do everything I want. If I challenge his limit, he'll someday take back everything he's given me."It was like a hard punch directly at Vicky's heart.'That's right. Tyler is a cool and heartless man. He'd make a person feel like he's the world when he wants to be nice to that person, but everything can disappear into thin air once they infuriate him,' Vicky thought.It was the same for Sheila and her.Feeling suffocated, Vicky silently walked away.Sheila merely watched as she leave without intending to stop her.…The sky was already dark when Vicky was out of Neon Club. By then, she realized she had forgotten to say goodbye to Director Lumber, but she figured it did not matter much at this point. As Sheila's old acquaintance was mighty enough for the producer to stop harassing her, no one else would probably have the audacity to say anything else.S
Vicky blinked and started panting.Tyler lifted her chin and gazed sharply at her face. "Do you feel sorry for yourself because I didn't help you back there?"Although it was a question, his tone sounded rather matter-of-factly.Vicky unconsciously tightened her fist.Before she could say anything, however, Tyler continued, "Do you get it now? If you're not my wife, you'll have to bear through sh*t and be responsible every time you're in trouble," Tyler said.The moonlight shone on his angular shape like his face was covered by a thin layer of fog where no one could see clearly. He was so close, yet Vicky felt like he was so distant.Suddenly, she felt like she did not know this man with whom she had spent days and nights.She looked into his eyes. "Are you telling me I can't do anything without you?""Maybe you can achieve something without me, but things won't possibly go your way every time."Tyler's eyes were so rational that she felt he was a cool person."You should kno
Tyler sneered when he heard Vicky wanted a divorce. "Hmph."Vicky left the club herself, and Tyler no longer bothered to stop her.…When she took a taxi and reached home, Tyler was already at home with sounds of water splashing from the bathroom greeting her.She stood still for a while before she opened the cabinet to look for a new set of duvets. When she finally found the whole set of bedding, Tyler was just out of the bathroom.His eyes turned dark when he saw Vicky walking out with the new set of bedding. "Vicky, where are you going?""I'm sleeping in the guest room tonight." Vicky did not look back and just left. "I'll draft the divorce agreement tomorrow. It's better for us to sleep separately before the divorce is settled."There was no bed in the guest room, but she could sleep on the floor. It would be temporary until she rented a new place and moved out. She had everything planned out.Suddenly, she felt the world spinning as she was pulled, causing the bedding to b
Vicky trembled and her pupils shrunk. Tyler's cold voice was like a bucket of cold water poured onto her body, and it was frankly sobering.It turned out she was the one who changed. Not him.Somehow, she found herself slowly wanting more."I think…what you said is true." Her eyes were wavering while her voice was soft. "Then, have you ever liked me?"Tyler did not answer.Vicky had expected this reaction from him, yet her heart nonetheless felt desolate. 'He doesn't like me.'She looked at him and asked, "Then, have you ever liked Sheila?"Tyler kept quiet for a few seconds and answered, "No.""So you only wanted to marry her because she can play the piano very well?"Tyler did not deny it. "Yes."She looked into his eyes. "Are you still…in love with the woman from that photo?"Tyler's pupils shook and he did not answer the question.Since they were already in the situation, Vicky figured she should just ask all of the questions in her mind. "If you like her that much, why
Neither of them was worthy for Tyler to affect his benefits or profit.In another word, the woman powerful enough to make Tyler divorce Vicky and throw all thoughts of profit out the window had yet to appear. If this woman did, Tyler would not hesitate to dump Vicky.When the smoke was near Tyler's finger, he said indifferently, "One more thing that I need to remind you about…"He said with a stern, cold face, "If I ever find out that you're in some sort of relationship with another man…you won't be able to withstand the consequences."…The next day, Vicky received a call from the production team."Miss Shaw, your costume design matches the requirements of our production. When are you free to sign the contract?"Tyler was right. There were things that one could not achieve with just hard work.If her design could appear in such a big production movie, her career path would grow, and she would not need to worry about looking for a business partner. Furthermore, she could have t
After the opening ceremony that commenced the start of the shooting, the production team quickly got to work. Vicky had been following the production team and did necessary adjustments and alterations when needed.The production team had sufficient funding. The hotels they stayed in were all five-star hotels.Since Sheila was known to have a strong support system and background, no one dared to look for her trouble during the shooting. Everybody treated her with the utmost respect. She was not a snub just because she had someone supporting her; she was very friendly and did not think she was greater than the others.Within a few days, she became friends with everyone on the production team. She was the main center of attention, and there was laughter everywhere she was. It seemed like everyone got along well with her.Undoubtedly, there was no telling if they were truly getting along with her or were just faking it.During the lunch break, Vicky left the fitting room and was ready
Vicky did not know what to say.Mindy continued, "Otherwise, I don't think a man like Tyler Hart will have an affair."Vicky was stunned. "Why did you think so? How are those things related?""I sense that he's not very interested in women. When Sheila nearly fell just now, he didn't even bother to hold her, and when he went out with Sheila, they didn't walk together. He walked ahead of her, you know? He doesn't look like a player or an expert in romance—more like a very straightforward type of guy."Vicky was speechless.It was not long until they arrived at the restaurant. It was lunchtime, so the restaurant was packed with people, so much so that Vicky and Mindy could find no vacant table with how everyone was squeezing past each other. Try as they might, Vicky and Mindy could not find any empty tables.Vicky said, "I guess we need to go somewhere else."The restaurant was so crowded that Vicky accidentally knocked into someone when she turned around to leave.Before Vicky c
