Chapter 1295
Vicky had not seen them for a long time, so when she knew that they were coming back, she felt a
surge of excitement.â Great! Ill pick you up at the airport tomorrow.â
Just as she hung up the phone, Tyler came out of the bathroom after taking a shower. He raised an
eyebrow at her joyful expression and asked, âWhatâs got you so happy?â
âCece and Jennifer are coming back tomorrow!â Vicky chirped and looked up at Tyler. âYou donât seem
to have any appointments tomorrow afternoonâ¦â
Tension rose in the air as her words fell. Unaware of the change, she continued, âIâll probably leave
early. Iâm planning to have dinner with them outside, so you donât need to wait for me.â
The look in Tylerâs eyes darkened as he watched her, but Vicky remained immersed in her joy and did
not notice it.â Once theyâre back, the studio should get back on track⦠I need to prepare myself and
get back to work,â Vicky added.â You should go to sleep. Iâll head to the study to organize some design
drafts.â
Observing her busy figure, Tyler narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
The next day, Vicky rushed to the airport in advance. After waiting anxiously for a while, she finally saw
two familiar figures.
âVicky!â
As soon as they saw her, Jennifer and Ceceâs eyes lit up.â Vicky, weâve missed you so much!â
âWe were so bored over there; I canât wait to get back to work!â
As the three chatted and walked toward the exit, Vicky asked, âWhat would you like to eat? Itâs on me.â
At the mention of food, Ceceâs mouth watered. âLetâs go to that Mexican restaurant. Vicky, you have no
idea how strange Mexican food tastes over there. The food there lacks the authentic flavor we have
here.â
Vicky chuckled. âAlright.â
As they arrived at the restaurant and were about to order, Vickyâs phone rang. She glanced at the caller
ID and narrowed her eyes before answering the call. âAre you off work?â
âYes,â replied Tyler from the other end of the line.
âDo you need something?â she asked.
There was a moment of silence before he continued, âNo, I just wanted to ask when youâll be back.â
Vicky noticed it was 5:30 p.m. when she checked the time.
She considered the time she needed to dine and chat with them before saying, âI should be home
before eight.â
There was a moment of silence. âThat late?â
âI havenât met Cece and Jennifer for a long while, so we need more time to catch up,â Vicky said gently.
âI will try my best to go home earlier.â
ââ¦â There was another long pause, and Vicky thought that the call ended. She glanced at the screen
and noticed that the call was still ongoing. âTyler, are you still there?â
ââ¦â Tyler remained silent.
Just as Vicky was about to say something else, the call ended.
