Chapter 1413
Harvey nodded.
Just as they tidied up, the doorbell rang again.
Ding!
Vicky ignored it and worked quickly.
Alas, her phone rang, and she had no option but to answer it.
By then, most of Harveyâs belongings had been put away. She answered the call while checking the
room for things she might have missed.
âVicky, where are you?â Tyler asked in a cold tone.
Her heart dropped to her stomach, but she feigned a drowsy voice. âIn my studio, of course.â
âWhy arenât you opening the door?â
She paused and said, âI was taking a nap and didnât hear the bell. Are you at the door now?â
âYeah.â
âHang on. Iâm coming over to open the door.â
After ending the call, Vicky motioned for Harvey to hide in Ceceâs room and went to answer the door.
Tylerâs tall and slender figure was at the doorstep.
He watched as she rubbed her eyes drowsily and asked,â Did I disturb you?â
âNot at all.â Vicky ushered Tyler into the studio. âWhat brings you here all of a sudden?â
âJust happened to pass by, so I thought Iâd drop in,â Tyler replied, surveying his surroundings. âArenât
your two assistants around?â
âTheyâre on a business trip and havenât returned yet.â
âWerenât they only supposed to be away for a week? Theyâre still not back?â
Vicky was taken aback. She mentioned it in passing, so she had not expected him to remember.
âYeah,â Vicky answered softly. âThere was a fashion exhibition over there, so I asked them to come
back after participating.â
âI see.â Tyler glanced around and asked casually, âHowâs the new studio? Are you satisfied with it?â
âYes, itâs great. Convenient location, and much larger than the previous studio.â
Furthermore, the entire floor belonged to her, and the other areas had been beautifully renovated.
However, the studioâs expansion was not completed yet, so it had not been put into full use.
âThough Iâve been here many times, I havenât had a close look,â said Tyler, his gaze seemingly distant.
âHow about giving me a tour?â
Vickyâs eyes widened. âArenât you supposed to be working this afternoon?â
âMy business partner had something urgent to attend to, so we rescheduled the afternoon signing for
another time.â
Tyler looked at Vicky and smiled. âIâve been so busy lately and havenât had much time with you. I
happen to be free this afternoon, so I thought Iâd spend it with you.â
Given his reasoning, refusing him might raise suspicion, so she forced a smile. âAlright.â She began by
showing Tyler the yet-to-be-opened office areas. âItâs just me, Cece, and Jennifer at the moment, so
this section will be opened up when we have more people.â
Tyler followed quietly behind Vicky as she introduced room by room. They soon arrived at her own
work area.
Vicky turned to ask, âYouâve visited my office before. Do you want to see it again?â
âYes.â
Vicky led him into her office and offered him a glass of water. âHave some water.â
Tyler accepted the glass, but his gaze remained fixed on her office sharply as if he was searching for
something.
Unable to find anything out of the ordinary, Tyler took a sip of water from the glass.
âBy the way, Iâve seen Harryâs design plans. I remember there are a few private rooms here,â he spoke.
