Chapter 1417
Vicky paused. âItâs just too messy. Iâm just going to move a few things back.â
âDo it tomorrow,â Tyler said calmly. âNo one is here, so thereâs no rush.â
After a few moments of silence, she stopped and said,â Alright. Letâs go home, then.â
âYeah.â
After getting dressed, the two returned home right away.
The next day, when Vicky arrived at the studio, she found her room immaculately arranged.
She cringed as she gazed at Harvey, who was busy working on his laptop, not knowing how to face
him.
âHey.â Harvey looked up from his laptop, offering his usual smile as he greeted Vicky. He showed no
hint of awkwardness as if yesterdayâs events never occurred.
âYeah,â Vicky muttered. âHowâs your injury healing?â
âIâve almost fully recovered.â Harvey shifted his gaze away from the laptop. âI should be able to leave
tomorrow.â
âTomorrow?â Vicky furrowed her brow. âIsnât that a bit rushed?â
If Harvey had been hospitalized, two weeks would have been ample time for recovery. However, since
he needed to evade Tylerâs pursuit, his recuperation at her studio had been notably slower than it
would have been if he received better care at a hospital.
âIâve been resting here for quite a while,â Harvey explained.â Although Iâm not completely healed, itâs
manageable. I can handle what awaits me.â
Vicky understood that it was probably because of yesterdayâs incident that Harvey was considering
leaving. She said hesitantly, âIs it because of what happened yesterday that youâ¦â
Harvey shook his head with a smile. âI was already planning to leave in the next few days. Iâve been
away from my company for too long. While the situation has stabilized for now, certain matters can only
be resolved by being there in person. Besidesâ¦â His expression darkened slightly. âTylerâs sudden
appearance here yesterday means he either learned or sensed that I might be here. This place is no
longer safe for me, and I need to leave as soon as possible.â
Tylerâs behavior yesterday had indeed been unusual, and Vicky had her suspicions as well. She thus
suggested, âIf he did discover something, you can always use me as leverage to threaten himâ¦â
âWhat kind of a man would I be if I used a woman as a shield in a battle between men?â he interrupted.
âYou donât need to worry about my safety; he wonât harm me.
âBut it might deepen the misunderstanding he already has about you.â
Vicky sighed and smiled helplessly. âEven if I do nothing, heâs never really believed in me, or he
wouldnât have tried to eliminate you.â
There was a pause in the conversation before Harvey said,â Regardless, itâs best for me to leave for
the time being.â
Noting she could not persuade him, Vicky refrained from further comments.
After their conversation ended, Harvey took out the new phone Vicky bought him and began contacting
his subordinates to make arrangements for his departure.
Vicky left the room.
The next day, Vicky arrived at the studio early and said to Harvey, âIâve checked Tylerâs schedule. He
has a full day of appointments today.â Glancing at the time, she continued,â Around ten oâclock, he has
an important signing event. That might be a good time to make your move.â
Harvey nodded and sent out messages to his subordinates.
