Vicky never had such thoughts and felt that Tyler was rather self-aware.
Even if she refused to take anything of his, she would struggle to escape him. If she accepted anything
from him, it would be impossible to leave him, especially when she was accepting the share of his
company.
She shot him a resigned look. âYou know thatâs not what I mean.â
âThen sign it,â he insisted.
âTylerâ¦â
âOnce you sign these, those stubborn old men in the office will have no reason to stop you from coming
to work with me.â
Vickyâs gaze widened. âIs this to give me a legitimate reason to be at the company and shut them up?â
Tylerâs gaze shifted elsewhere. âNo.â
Vicky looked at him questioningly.
Whenever someone would give their spouse a house, a car, and shares with oneâs company, it was to
make them feel secure. Tylerâs reasons for doing so, on the other hand, were merely so that Vicky
could keep going to work with him.
Vicky felt utterly speechless by his unique way of thinking.
Tyler looked at her and said, âIf you wonât sign, I have other ways to transfer the shares to your name.
Itâll just be more troublesome.â
The two of them stared at each other in silence for a long time. Eventually, Vicky looked away and
reopened the document, signing her name on the last page.
Tylerâs expression finally softened.
In the evening, the two of them drove to a Mexican restaurant together.
When Vicky opened the door to the private room, she found that everyone was already present. What
surprised her was that apart from Cece and Jennifer, Harvey was also there.
Upon seeing her enter, Harvey smiled. âVicky, youâre hereâ¦â
However, when his eyes fell upon the tall figure walking in beside Vicky, his smile froze for a moment.
Tylerâs presence was commanding, catching even the attention of Aurora engaged in a heated stare-
off. Their expressions changed as soon as they spotted Tyler.
Aurora could not help but ask in a hushed voice, âVicky, why is he here?â
As Vicky was contemplating how to explain, Tyler casually explained, âVicky was worried about leaving
me alone at home, so she brought me along.â
Aurora muttered, âHeâs an adult, not a child. Whatâs there to worry about?â
Tyler glanced at her, his gaze then grazing Harveyâs face.â Maybe she just cares about me that much?â
Vicky was speechless, and Aurora was at a loss for her words at how shameless Tyler was.
The others remained quiet.
Jennifer cleared her throat. âUm⦠Vicky, Mister Hart, please take your seats. We can eat and chat at
the same time.â
Vicky nodded.
They chose the same restaurant where Cece had her birthday celebration before, and the seating
arrangement remained unchanged.
Previously, Aurora and Noah sat together, but to avoid any fights, Cece and Jennifer sat on either side
of them, creating some distance between them.
There was an empty seat beside Harvey, which was clearly reserved for Vicky.
As Cece and Jennifer were unaware that Tyler had also come along, there was one less seat in the
private room.
âWeâre short one seat. Should we switch to a larger room?â Cece asked.
âThat wonât be necessary.â Tylerâs tone was nonchalant. â Just have the waiter add an extra seat.â
Cece looked at Vicky for approval, and Vicky nodded gently. She then introduced everyone to Tyler
once again.
