Vicky furrowed her brow. âSend me the clientâs contact information, and Iâll try reaching out,â she said to
Jennifer.
Jennifer promptly sent over the clientâs contact details.
Vicky made a call, introduced herself, and explained the purpose of her call.
âMissus Ridge, would you and Mister Ridge be willing to meet with me?â Vicky inquired.
Upon hearing that Vicky was the owner of a design studio, Missus Ridge was more accommodating
and did not refuse a meeting as decisively as before.
âSure. I happen to have some free time this evening. If we need to discuss something, letâs meet at the
Royal Club,â she suggested.
Royal Club was a well-known members-only entertainment venue in Stoneford City. Vicky had been
there a few times and had a membership card, so she agreed to the proposal.
After ending the call, Vicky dialed Jenniferâs number again to explain the situation.
Jennifer listened and said, âVicky, since Willow reports to me, Iâll go with you.â
âOkay.â
After setting a meeting time, they hung up.
Vicky changed into a different outfit in the dressing room and grabbed a bag before heading
downstairs.
On her way, she bumped into Tyler, who just came upstairs.
Upon seeing Vickyâs attire, Tyler raised an eyebrow. âAre you going out?â
âYeah. I need to handle some work-related matters.â
Tyler glanced at the time and frowned. âYouâre going out at this time?â
âItâs urgent,â Vicky replied calmly. âI need to go right away.â
Though their relationship was not particularly close recently, it had at least improved from their previous
confrontations.
Tyler remained silent for a few seconds. âIâll accompany you.â
âItâs fine. Jade will accompany me.â
âJade already finished her work,â Tyler said, observing her. âWaiting for her to return will take quite
some time. Donât you have an urgent matter to attend to?â
Every time she refused to let him accompany her, he would find peculiar reasons to persuade her.
Vicky was indeed pressed for time this time, so she did not argue further.
â¦
The car stopped in front of Royal Club.
Tyler looked at the entertainment venue in front of him and frowned. âWhy are you here at this hour?â
he asked.
âTo meet a client.â
As soon as Tyler heard the word âclientâ, his expression darkened.
âNo decent client would invite you to such a place at this time,â he commented.
Vicky could not be bothered with him and opened the car door to exit.
Jennifer had been waiting at the entrance and greeted as she saw Vicky approach. âVicky.â
When she noticed Tyler stepping out of the car as well, Jennifer seemed slightly taken aback.
Frankly, the incidents at the wedding left her with a low opinion of Tyler. However, her good manners
and gentle nature prevented her from ignoring him or engaging in confrontations as Aurora did.
âMister Hart,â she greeted him with a cold tone.
Tyler remained silent as he was always quite indifferent to anyone other than Vicky.
