Chapter 1501

Vicky displayed a subtle smile. “I still have the freedom to make friends, don’t I?”

Vicky pulled his fingers away one by one, before pushing him away. Tyler took a few steps back from

her push and did not continue to stop her.

Vicky turned her head and said to Chris, “let’s go.”

Chris glanced at Tyler and nodded.

Being the gentleman, he opened the car door for Vicky.

Chris returned to the driver’s seat and started the engine. Tyler stood still, watching the departing car.

The setting sun cast its glow upon him, he remained motionless for quite some time.

Cece and Jennifer exchanged a glance, and sighed simultaneously.

After another day at work, as Vicky stepped out of the studio, she spotted a familiar figure waiting at the

entrance.

“Vicky.” Chris’s voice suddenly sounded from the side, catching Vicky’s attention.

Only then did Vicky notice Chris. She averted her gaze and nodded at him before walking in his

direction.

However, Tyler suddenly intercepted her path.

He fixed his eyes intently on her. “I wasn’t late today.”

Vicky gazed back at him. “But I made plans with Chris since yesterday. So… sorry.”

“Yesterday?” A clear note of irony tinted Tyler’s tone. “Is that just an excuse to get rid of me?”

Vicky fell silent.

“Even if I’d arranged a date with you beforehand, you’d have found another reason to reject me,

wouldn’t you?”

Vicky smiled at him. “You’re right.”

Tyler’s gaze shifted briefly to Chris, his voice low. “Vicky, are you testing my patience?”

Vicky’s expression held a faint hint of puzzlement. “Is having a meal with a friend considered a test?”

“Friend?” Tyler found it amusing. “Can he even be called a friend?”

“Chris is capable, and I admire his abilities,” Vicky replied have grown even larger.”

“If you want to expand your studio, I can-“

Vicky knew what he was going to say and interrupted him with an emotionless tone. “I know that you

could easily turn my studio into the largest fashion house in Zendonia, but I don’t need that. I want to

achieve everything with my own hands, not rely solely on a man’s assistance.” Vicky looked up at him.

“Tyler, what you want to give me isn’t necessarily what I want.”

Tyler’s lips curled slightly. “That includes me as well, right? Are you saying that you don’t want me

anymore?”

Vicky’s gaze flickered for a moment, but she did not reply and her silence spoke volumes.

“Vicky, aren’t we leaving?” Chris asked.

Vicky snapped out of it and said, “let’s go.”

She did not bother to look at Tyler again and got into Chris’s car.

As soon as they started driving, Chris said, “he is following us.”

Vicky glanced at the rear-viewing mirror and spotted Tyler’s car behind them. Not surprised, she said,

“Tyler is in an unstable state right now, so I can’t promise that he will resort to violence with you. If you

find yourself in danger, don’t fight him. Just leave. As for me…” She lowered her gaze. “He won’t hurt

me, so don’t worry.”

Chris hummed in response, unable to console her.
