However, as Vicky watched the continuous stream of phone calls and the assistant constantly knocking on the door to report work, she felt that her presence there would only hinder his work, so she left."You don't know that for sure," Cece whispered. "Vicky, men like Tyler, handsome and of distinguished status, are desired by many women. Even if he's married, it won't diminish his charm in the slightest. You can't be so casual about it."Vicky did not take it to heart and simply replied, "He won't cheat on me. I trust him."Cece wanted to say more but could only sigh silently after seeing how certain Vicky was.The waiter quickly brought the dishes they ordered.The fragrance of the food and spices filled the air, making Cece's stomach growl. "Mm, it smells so good! I'm practically drooling."Vicky laughed and said, "Between the two of us, we don't have to worry about appearances. Let's dig in and eat as much as we want.""Well, I won't hold back, then!"Cece picked up her spoo
Upon seeing Aria approaching, Cece's expression immediately turned cold and she looked at Aria with a guarded expression without a hint of friendliness in her eyes toward Aria."Ms. Shaw, what a coincidence," Aria said openly. "Are you also here for a meal?"Cece glanced at Aria and pretended to be surprised as she said to Vicky, "Vicky, didn't you say that Mister Hart had something urgent to attend to and wouldn't be coming back for dinner? So he's not busy with work and was occupied with having dinner with another woman, huh?"Cece noticed Vicky's recent disappointment.Some time ago, Tyler had been extremely attentive to Vicky, picking her up for work, calling and texting whenever he had free time, and even having fresh flowers delivered to her every day.Vicky's mood at the time clearly indicated that they were in the honeymoon phase.It was not long before Tyler became busy. It would be one thing if he was truly busy with work, yet he was caught having dinner with another wo
Vicky knew that even as a married couple, they needed their space, but that did not mean he should not speak up about meeting another woman just because she did not ask.Aria spoke at the right moment, "Ms. Shaw, Mister Hart and I have a business collaboration which you should be aware of. I'm sure you've asked about our relationship, and he has explained it to you. If there was anything between us, you wouldn't be married to him now." Pausing for a moment, Aria tactfully continued, "Ms. Shaw, throwing tantrums occasionally adds to a woman's charm, but you shouldn't be too petty. You're now Mister Hart's wife, and your every action and word represents his image. As for me... Well, I'll let it slide. After all, I've known Tyler for many years and can be considered friends. However, I'd advise caution in front of others."Vicky looked at Aria and asked, "Miss Everly, are you telling me that I'm being petty?"Aria smiled. "As I mentioned earlier, if you don't like me linking arms with
Vicky remained silent, not uttering a word.Cece noticed the gloomy look on her face and quieted down.After finishing dinner, they both went home separately....Later at night, Vicky had just stepped out of the bedroom when the door was pushed open, and a handsome and tall man entered the room.Vicky was drying her hair and paused briefly before she continued.Footsteps approached, and not long after, arms wrapped around Vicky from behind."Are you angry?" a deep and clear voice resounded."No, I’m not." Vicky pushed him away. "Just let go for now. I'm drying my hair. You're in the way.""I'll help you." Tyler smoothly took the towel from her hands and earnestly began drying her hair. Once it was nearly done, Tyler added, "Wait a moment, I'll get the hairdryer."Tyler headed towards the bathroom while Vicky stood in place, gazing at his towering figure of the man. A faint hint of bitterness welled up within her when recalled that it had been a while since he helped her with
Vicky's lips moved as she attempted to speak, but she simply could bring herself to say words against her mind.Tyler was not one who enjoyed explaining himself, and upon seeing Vicky fall into silence, he furrowed his brow. "I didn't intentionally hide anything from you. It's just that whenever I had something come up, you never asked," he reluctantly explained.He gazed silently into Vicky's eyes, his magnetic black eyes filled with her presence. "To me, she's no different from any ordinary business partner. Since there's no difference, why should I make her an exception?"Vicky understood Tyler's point.In his perspective, Aria was merely an ordinary business partner, and whether she was a man or a woman, beautiful or ugly, made no difference whatsoever. He did not care about her, nor did he consider her to be anything special in his heart, so he did not see the reason in mentioning her to Vicky as by doing so, he would be making Aria a special case.Some of the gloom in Vicky'
"Vicky, I'm back to work!" Jennifer first embraced Vicky, then turned to the man beside her. "Sir, please come in. This is our studio."The handsome, elegant man smiled as he looked at Vicky. "Ms. Shaw, we meet again."Jennifer looked at the man in surprise. "Sir, do you…know Vicky?"The man did not explain much but simply smiled and said, "I've met Ms. Shaw a few times."Jennifer did not show any further signs of surprise. After all, it was evident that he was a person of wealth and status judging from the way he dressed and his manner of speaking. Moreover, since Vicky was married to Tyler, it seemed normal that she would meet different people in the elite society.Jennifer warmly invited him, saying, "Sir, please come inside."The man nodded slightly.This man had a refined way of speaking, an elegant demeanor, and extraordinary qualities, which made him the kind of client that Jennifer liked the most.After showing the man around the studio, Jennifer asked, "Sir, what do yo
However, these things are only the bare minimum for a club to have. What really set this club apart was its famous auction.The auction here was far different from the normal auctions outside. Rumor had it the things bought in the auction here could not be brought out of the club. However, due to the club being too exclusive Vicky had only heard about the auction; she never saw it personally. Therefore, she had no way to verify the truth of it all.Moreover, the club's membership card was limited to only 1000 pieces. It was so exclusive that it would take more than being rich to get into the club."Tonight, Dark Night Club will be celebrating its anniversary, and they've invited a lot of powerful and influential business tycoons to the city. Tyler will be there, too," said the man. He looked at her meaningfully before he added, "Lately, Tyler seems to have attended a lot of events, so I'm sure he's no stranger to the club."The gold card was cold to the touch. Vicky looked at the m
Vicky nodded lightly, and it was only then Jennifer dared to say, "Yes, that would be fine, sir."After the man swiped his card, Jennifer asked, "Sir, can you please leave your contact number?"The man was silent for a few seconds before he recited a string of numbers.Vicky's eyes flashed. She did not recognize the phone number, so the man could not have been the mysterious person who helped her. However, she did not know which number he used to contact her before since it always came up as 'Unknown Number' in the caller ID. Therefore, even until this moment, she could not be sure whether the man sitting in front was the mysterious person or not.The man bade them farewell after they closed the deal, and he had drunk some coffee. Before he left, he said, "My old phone number has been traced, so just call this number if you need to contact me for anything in the future."…Soon, Vicky got off work. She knew Tyler would not be home on this night since he had not come home for a fe
