Chapter 1399
Vicky still had a fair amount of work to do, so she gathered her emotions and immersed herself in her
tasks.
At half past four in the afternoon, Tyler called.
âI have a contract to sign tonight, so I wonât be back too early,â he said calmly. âYou donât need to wait
up for me. Go to bed on time.â
âAlright.â Just as she was about to end the call, something crossed her mind, and she reminded him,
âDonât drink too much.â
âSure.â After a brief acknowledgment, he hung up.
Knowing Tyler would not be back too early, Vicky decided not to go home either. Instead, she continued
working in her office.
By the time she wrapped up her work, it was already dark outside.
Checking the time, she realized it was half past eight.
Considering Tyler would be returning soon, she hurriedly tidied her office, she entered the elevator
area.
The soft white light illuminated the elevator space, surrounded waited for the elevator.
The entire day had passed, and it seemed Harvey had not responded to her messages.
âIs the situation with Johnson Corporation that bad?â she thought.
As she contemplated whether to call Harvey again, a large hand covered her mouth. Vicky was
completely unprepared since she was lost in thought.
Just as she was about to struggle, a familiar, hoarse voice sounded from behind.
âVicky, itâs me.â
Her heart sank, and her eyes widened when she saw the man behind her. âHarvey?â
Once she recognized him, Harvey released his grip. âDid I startle you?â
Vicky was about to question why he was here, but her attention was drawn to the blood stain on his
white shirt.
âWhatâ¦?â Her voice trembled. âAre you injured?â
Harvey seemed to be seriously hurt, his handsome face pale. âLetâs get back to your office first.â
Vicky swiftly supported Harvey as they made their way back to her office.
Vicky knew Harvey was severely injured, but she never imagined that he would be shot twice.
Upon inspecting his injuries, she said, âThis wonât do. You
need to go to the hospital right now.â
Harvey shook his head. âNo. Once Iâm seen, my enemies will kill me on sight.â
She studied his blood-tainted shirt hesitantly. âWhy are you injured? Whoâs coming after you?â
Harvey looked up and locked eyes with her. âWill you believe me if I say that itâs Tyler?â
