Chapter 1497

It was not until Tyler’s lips brushed Vicky’s neck that she spoke, sounding emotionally distant, “Are you

planning to force yourself on me again?”

Tyler stopped. He lowered his gaze to Vicky, and she gazed back at him indifferently. She was not

flustered, enraged, in love, or even resentful. It was as though she was an emotionless machine.

Tyler silently stared at her.

They locked eyes for a few seconds before Vicky extended her hand to push him away. This time, she

succeeded.

She swiftly turned and walked away, only for her wrist to be caught again. She glanced back at Tyler

mockingly.

Tyler felt struck by the cold look on her face but managed to summon a calm tone. ‘Til drive you back.”

“It’s fine,” she said. “I can manage.”

“It’s late.” Tyler watched her intently. “It’s not safe for you to go home alone. I’ll drive you.”

“You don’t need to worry about my safety. I can have someone else come pick me up.”

Chris’ face surfaced in Tyler’s mind as it

Enraged by the realization Vicky allowed Chris to send her home but refused to let him do the same,

Tyler pursed his lips, his tone growing colder. “Do you want me to drive you back, or are you planning

to stay here for the night?”

Judging from the look in his eyes, Vicky she said, “Drive me back.”

Tyler walked away expressionlessly.

Tyler remained silent during their drive, and Vicky did not speak either. Despite her silence, Chris’

words and the image of Tyler injuring himself with a knife would resurface.

Tyler’s car slowly stopped outside the apartment building, and Vicky sat in the car, unmoving.

Tyler turned his head and noticed her lost expression, so he reached out to undo her seatbelt.

As soon as his fingers made contact with her body,

Tyler’s hand froze, and he said gloomily,

He moved his long fingers to undo Vicky’s seatbelt.

She parted her lips to speak but decided against it in the end.

She opened the door to get out before stopping abruptly, much to Tyler’s joy.

However, she merely turned her head to say, “Consider my terms.”

Tyler instantly froze.

Vicky did not wait for his response before getting out of the car and heading back into her building.

He watched as she left without turning back, and he froze.

The next day, Vicky got off work with her employees.

Jennifer and Cece both knew Vicky’s birthday was approaching and started discussing how they

should celebrate.

While they discussed, Cece thought of an issue. “Vicky, should we invite Noah?”
