Chapter 1372
Tyler looked at Harvey coldly. âI trust Vicky; I just donât trust the people around her. Sheâs just too
trusting for her good, so it falls to me to protect her from people with impure thoughts.â
Harveyâs smile never faltered. âIâm curious, Mister Hart. Just what kind of impure thoughts are you
talking about?â
âFor example, feelings that one keeps deep inside his heart because he knew confessing them would
bring trouble?â said Tyler while looking straight into his eyes.
Harveyâs eyes widened with shock.
Sensing the tension in the air, Vicky hurriedly said, âHey, arenât we going for lunch? You say you want
to go check out the new restaurant, right?â
Tyler glanced at Vickyâs panicked expression and smiled.â Why donât you join us, Mister Sparks? Itâs
not every day I get to bump into you.â
His invitation was so unexpected that it surprised both Vicky and Harvey. Vicky looked at Harvey,
praying he would turn down the invitation.
âDonât mind if I do. After all, itâs not every day I get a lunch invitation from you, Mister Hart. And what
perfect timing too because Iâm starving, considering I didnât have any breakfast, â Harvey answered
with a smile.
Vicky was speechless. âLooks like Harvey didnât learn his lesson at all. Has he forgotten how Tyler
injured his arm?â
Half an hour later, the three of them arrived at the restaurant. The two men immediately attracted a lot
of attention, given how handsome and tall they both were.
âOh my god! Those two guys are smokinâ hot!â
âEep! That cool-looking guy is just my type!â
âThe other guy has a bad-boy vibe, which is totally my type!â
âWell, thereâs no use fawning over him. Canât you see he has a girlfriend? And sheâs quite pretty, too!
They look like a match made in heaven standing there together.â
Someone finally noticed Vicky.
âNah, I think sheâs the cool guyâs girlfriend. They look more suitable for each other.â
âNo, she looks more suitable for the other guy. Iâm pretty sure sheâs his girlfriend since the cool guy
looks like heâs quite difficult to get along with. He canât possibly have a girlfriend.â
âFine, letâs make a bet and see whose girlfriend she really is.â
âYouâre on! I bet on the bad boy with the devil-may-care smile.â
âI bet on the cool guy!â
Gossip spread across the tables like wildfire. That was until they saw Tyler hold Vickyâs hand and put
his arm around her waist to demonstrate whose woman she was.
The people who bet on Harvey immediately became disappointed.
âSo sheâs really the cool guyâs girlfriend⦠What a pity.â
âWhy is it a pity? Didnât you see how his eyes softened when he looked at her? His eyes never left her
from the moment they stepped into the restaurant. Itâs like everyone else doesnât exist for him.â
âBut the same can be said for the other guy⦠Just look at the way heâs looking at her with so much
love in his eyes.â
The three of them sat under the watchful gaze of all the other diners.
Vicky and Tyler sat together while Harvey sat across from Tyler. After looking through the menu, Vicky
ordered two dishes.
Harvey, however, did not order anything even after leafing through the menu.
âIs the food here not to your liking, Mister Sparks?â Tyler asked before Vicky could say anything.
âIâve been out of the country for so long that I donât know whatâs good in the restaurants here,â replied
Harvey. He then turned to Vicky and smiled cheekily. âWhy donât you recommend a few dishes to me,
Vicky? You know best what I like to eat.â
A dangerous glint flashed across Tylerâs eyes, though he looked outwardly unperturbed.
