"Vicky had been busy dealing with the compensation to her customer, so her mood hasn't been the best. I hope you two won't mind that," Isaac explained.Gloria's eyes widened in surprise. "You know about that, too?"Gloria did not initially believe Isaac was Vicky's boyfriend since Vicky had denied this herself. Upon hearing what Isaac said, however, she started to believe it.Isaac smiled. "Of course I do! Are you two Vicky's friends? Why don't you two join us?"He was an expert in dating and had many experiences in it. He knew it was important to let the girl he wanted to date feel proud when her friends were around and also showed off his wealth to them. No woman could reject him after that. He had tricked many women with that method, after all.This was not the first man who tried to take advantage of her because they were into her beauty, but she had never seen such a shameless man before.Vicky felt so disgusted by Isaac's action and was going to say something. However, Tyle
Isaac's expression froze when he heard Tyler's remark, but it took him just a second to recover."Vicky doesn't design male attire for just anyone. It depends on who's asking." He looked at Vicky adoringly. "I never thought she'd break the rules for me."Vicky did not even bother to glance at Isaac. Her expression remained stone-cold as if the person Isaac referred to was not her.Isaac chuckled. "Pardon us. Vicky is still angry with me."As the conversation went on, the waiter served four portions of steaks to their table.Gloria picked up her cutlery and was going to cut her steak when Tyler said, "Your hand hasn't fully recovered. Let me help you."This obviously caught her off-guard, and she blushed. "It's fine. I can do it myself."Ignoring what she said, Tyler took her steak and placed it in front of him. He picked up the cutlery and sliced the steak into small bites elegantly.The warm light shined on his angular handsome face as if his face had a layer of gold rays shin
Vicky glowered at Tyler. "Tyler, what are you doing?"He merely stared down at her indifferently. "Why so nervous? Are you afraid your boyfriend will see us?"Hearing this only irked her. "You're crazy!"She did not believe Tyler actually believed Isaac when he said he was her boyfriend, seeing as Tyler was an alert and sensitive person. However, this man acted like he was blind!"Vicky, do you always use the convenience of your work to attract men?" he mused.Vicky was so incensed that she shivered. "Do you think I'm so shameless like you are?"It was as though Vicky's words were lost to the wind because Tyler did not even acknowledge what she said. He asked indifferently, "When did you two know each other?""It's none of your business.""How far out are you two?" Tyler asked.Vicky was at a loss for words."Oh, I forgot. You guys were already holding hands just now, so…" He slowly lowered his head, his tall, lean frame encompassing her entirely.Vicky felt suffocated.He
Vicky wanted nothing to do with Tyler and his forwardness, but she feared even more offending him. Left without a choice, she remained still and let him kiss her."I'm going now." Vicky lowered her head and said, "Please tell Gloria I'm leaving." She then pushed him away.Tyler grabbed her wrist. "I'll send you back.""No. Gloria is still—""Come on," interjected Tyler, ignoring what she said, and walked out of the restaurant while pulling her hand.Vicky struggled against his hold, but one look from Tyler made her freeze entirely.Reaching the car, she reached toward the handle of the backseat door, but before she could get it, Tyler said clearly, "Sit up front."Stunned, Vicky looked at Tyler.Tyler saw her look and said faintly, "Are you waiting for me to carry you into the car?"She stood still for a few seconds, went to the front passenger side, and opened the door to get into the car.After they were both in the car, Tyler took out his phone and made a call.Vicky look
Click! The sound of the doorknob opening was heard.Vicky seldom locked the door to the study because she was in her own home.As she looked in the direction of the door, she saw Tyler walking into the room with a towel covering his body. Within seconds, a thought struck her, and her gaze shrunk."I… I'm not done with my work yet," her voice trembled. "Don't wait for me. Go and rest now."Tyler ignored what she said and approached her. Without any warning, he placed his hand on the back of her head and kissed her.As she expected. The only reason he came back home with her was because he wanted to sleep with her.Well, she was not surprised. He was that kind of guy, after all.Out of the blue, a picture appeared in her mind—it was the night Tyler slept with Gloria.'Did he also kiss Gloria this fervently?' she thought.Suddenly, she felt inexplicably suffocated and disgusted.However, she could not avoid his kisses because he was grabbing her head tightly. She did not struggl
Tyler interrupted Selene coldly, "Where is Gloria now?""In the hospital," said Selene raspily.Tyler hung up the phone and turned to look at Vicky, who covered her entire body with the blanket and looked at him with her clear eyes."Did something happen to Gloria?" she asked.It was late at night and very quiet. Selene's voice was rather sonorous, and she was not far away from Tyler. Obviously, she could hear everything Selene said."Yeah. That guy, Isaac Shear, followed Gloria home," Tyler said.Isaac Shear?Vicky was shocked. "Is she alright?""She's in the hospital now."Vicky nodded. "You should go find her now."Tyler stood still for a moment and looked at her. "You're going with me.""Me?" blurted Vicky."Go put on your clothes." Tyler did not repeat himself.Vicky did not feel like going. However, Isaac was her customer, and Gloria suffered from this incident because Tyler and her left her alone. Thus, she reckoned she was partly responsible."Okay," she agreed.
"Tyler, do you have any idea what Vicky did? She tricked you into leaving with her and had her boyfriend assault Gloria. The man would've succeeded if she didn't make a scene about it! Did Gloria say and complain anything to you when you confused her with Vicky? She was the one who looked after you in the hospital…"Selene felt outraged as she continued to speak, "You've already hurt Gloria in the past, and now, you continue to protect this cruel, evil woman. Is this how you repay Gloria?"Despite Selene's aggressive accusation, Tyler—with a frigid expression—said, "Are you questioning me?"Selene had much to say, but she faltered upon hearing Tyler's words. She was intimidated by his domineering aura, her voice became less aggressive."I—I'm just feeling sorry for Gloria…""You should know your place." Tyler looked at her with disgust. "Do you think you can stand here and talk to me like this if Gloria did not plead for you?"Selene was smart. The person she targeted in the plag
The perpetrator must have hated Isaac so badly to have hurt and tormented him.No wonder Selene and Gloria were suspicious of Vicky. Vicky would have a hard time clearing her name if Isaac had lost his limbs and eyes.At that moment, Tyler, who had been quiet the whole time, said, "I'll investigate it."Everyone looked at him.Since Tyler and Vicky left the house in the middle of the night in a hurry, he had put on casual attire that showcased his tall, lean body. Although he was less strict, cold, and aggressive when he wore a formal suit, he still looked sharp and charming.He said faintly, "It's late now. I'll send you home."Selene wanted to say more, but Gloria stopped her and shook her head softly.…A few minutes later, they left the hospital.When they arrived at Tyler's car, Vicky suddenly stopped walking, wondering if she was going to sit in the front or at the back.Tyler saw her standing there and walked past her. "What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me
