With that said, Tyler glared at Vicky and left.
As Tyler departed, Vicky slumped back onto the bed, utterly exhausted.
The three days she requested from him were nothing but a tactical retreat. With Tylerâs current
condition, he could easily slip back into his other imagination by the following day.
The hallucinogenic substance in his body had yet to be cleared, and combined with Averyâs hypnosis, it
was a struggle for him to remain sane.
â¦
Exiting the villa, Tyler headed for the car parked by the entrance. When he appeared, the door to the
driverâs seat swung open. Adam, with the utmost respect, held the door for him.
âIf youâd please, Mister Hart.â
Tyler settled into the car expressionlessly, and Adam handed him his phone. âMister Hart, you left your
phone on the back seat.â
Taking the phone, Tyler asked absentmindedly, âAny calls?â
A fleeting glint passed through Adamâs eyes, and he answered quickly, âNo, sir.â
Tyler grunted and fell silent.
Buckling his seatbelt, Adam inquired softly, âMister Hart, where shall we head to now?â
âBack to the company.â
âYes, sir,â replied Adam before he turned the car around.
Tyler leaned back on the rear seat, closing his eyes to rest. Massaging his throbbing temples, he was
consumed by an unfamiliar vile mood.
Glancing at Tyler through the rearview mirror, Adam observed him quietly.
Ever since he returned to Tylerâs side, Tyler had been wearing a look as if he could snap any moment.
Adam moved his lips to speak but chose to remain silent in the end, knowing that it would be
inappropriate for him to speak.
Within the car, a faint, almost imperceptible fragrance wafted. It was delicate and serene, not at all
overpowering. Nonetheless, the scent brought a sense of tranquility to the mind and heart, even
soothing the pain in Tylerâs head.
Tyler opened his eyes. âWhatâs this fragrance?â
Adam was taken aback momentarily, but he quickly recovered and answered, âI heard from Harry that
you have been having trouble sleeping recently, so he got this calming fragrance. They say it helps
focus the mind and relaxes oneâs spirit.â
Tylerâs brow furrowed. âDonât bring unsupervised items into the car next time.â
Adamâs expression shifted slightly, and he lowered his gaze. â⦠I understand.â
Tyler glanced outside the window and asked, âHave you found the person who sent the video?â
After a few moments of silence, Adam said, âIt was from Harvey Sparks.â
Tyler narrowed his eyes dangerously. âHarvey Sparks, huh?â He repeated the name over and over
again menacingly.
Adam, too, narrowed his eyes coldly and asked, âMister Hart, should weâ¦â
âNot for now,â Tyler said.
Shocked, Adam muttered, âButâ¦â
Tyler glanced at him. âDonât question my decision, or you might never get another chance to work for
me again.â
Adam froze and instantly fell into silence.
Silence loomed over the car.
Sometime after, Tylerâs voice rose once again. âWhy donât I remember why you were transferred out of
the country to begin with?â
