Cece glanced over in surprise. âOh? Isnât that the black cat that Noah has been posting on his social
media these days?â
Vicky was confused. âYou mean Noah, my senior back at school?â
Jennifer nodded. âYes. Some time ago, Noah mentioned that one of his cats went missing, and heâs
been looking for it on social media.â
Although Vicky had Noahâs phone number, they were not friends on social media.
Noah was afraid of Tylerâs reaction and did not dare send Vicky a friend request. As a result, Vicky
could not see Noahâs posts.
Vicky suddenly remembered that Noah indeed had a black cat when she was in Molivia.
âWhere did your friend Noah lose the cat?â Aurora asked.
âHe lost it near the city center. Noahâs apartment is located there,â Cece said.
Aurora felt relieved after hearing this. âI found this cat near a hospital, so it seems itâs not your friendâs
cat.â
Jennifer chuckled. âI didnât expect you to be a cat lover too, Aurora. When you meet Noah in the future,
Iâm sure youâll have a lot in common to discuss.â
The hospital was not far from the city center, and there were many stray cats outside. Black cats all
looked quite similar, so they did not think much about it.
They started cleaning up the studio while chatting and laughing.
Soon, it was lunchtime, and Cece, Jennifer, and Aurora began discussing where to eat.
Meanwhile, Vicky stood by the window, looking thoughtful with her phone in hand.
Aurora walked over and patted Vickyâs shoulder. âWhat are you thinking about? Itâs time for lunch.â
Vicky put away her phone and nodded gently. âRight.â
Vicky seemed absent-minded the whole time at the restaurant and did not hear Aurora when she was
asked what dishes she wanted.
Jennifer looked at Vicky with surprise. âWhatâs wrong with you?â
Vicky snapped back to reality. âNothing. Iâm just thinking about something.â
After absentmindedly ordering two dishes, Vicky picked up her phone and sent a message to Harry.
[Has he had lunch?]
[Not yet⦠Mister Hart is still in a meeting.] Harry quickly replied, and his concern was evident.
Vicky frowned. [Remind him to have lunch.]
[Missus Hart, as an assistant, I canât interrupt Mister Hartâs meeting.] Harry replied hesitantly. [I canât
just enter the meeting room freely.]
Harry and Vicky were different in their roles. She was Mister Hartâs wife, while Harry was just an
assistant obliged to follow Tylerâs orders. In other words, Harry did not have the authority to interrupt
Tylerâs meeting.
Vicky looked at the message on the screen but did not reply immediately.
After a while, another message from Harry followed. [ Missus Hart, why donât you remind Mister Hart to
eat personally? He listens to you.]
Vicky lowered her gaze hesitantly before sending Tyler a message. [Remember to eat.]
The message went through, but even after the dishes were served, Vicky did not receive any response
from Tyler.
Vicky sent another message to Harry. [Has he eaten?]
Harry replied right away. [No. Mister Hart is still in the meeting.]
Vickyâs expression darkened. Cece, Jennifer, and Aurora all noticed it.
They exchanged knowing looks, and Jennnifer took the initiative to ask, âVicky⦠Is something
bothering you?â âNo,â said Vicky.
