Chapter 294
âHow do you know that?â Vickyâs sound suddenly became hoarse.
On the other hand, Tylerâs voice was normal-sounding, unstirred by emotions. âHarry saw them
yesterday when he sent someone to the airport.â
Vickyâs hands were sweating. âI just got an order from an overseas customer. Since I canât leave, I
asked Cece to go on my behalf. As Jennifer is ready to join the studio, I asked Cece to bring her so
sheâd familiarize herself in our fieldâ¦â
âI see.â His voice was deep and sounded lazy. âYou should hire a few more people for the studio to take
some burdens off you.â
âSince both of them are out of the country, there will be no one to look after the studio if I leave as well,â
remarked
Vicky, trying her best to not show her emotions through her words. âSoâ¦â
âI know.â There was no anger nor happiness detected in his tone. âNext time, then.â
Vickyâs eyes twitched so badly, and her anxiety was about to overwhelm her body.
Her clear eyes gazed forward, looking at Tyler. The room was too dark, however, and she could not see
anything.
âAre youâ¦mad?â she asked.
âWhy are you asking that?â Tyler asked in return.
âBecause Iâm not following you to work?â
âItâs not a big deal.â His voice was calm. âThereâs always next time if youâre busy now.â
âButâ¦â Vicky carefully paced with her words. âI thought youâd hate it when I defy you.â
After a few seconds of silence, Tyler whispered softly into her ear, âI just hate it when you donât listen to
me.â
His voice echoed across the room on a breezy night. âSince you have work to attend to, Iâm not going
to stop you.â
Before Vicky could tell what he truly meant, he shifted and went on top of her, disrupting her from
mulling her thoughts. She blurted, âNo. We justâ¦â
âIâm leaving for the business trip tomorrow,â he murmured huskily. âWeâre not going to see each other
for a couple of days.â
She understood what he was trying to imply. It meant he wanted anâ¦âadvanceâ from the days he would
be away.
It was just like him-a smart, evil, and awful capitalist who refused to take on any type of loss, all while
gaining double interest from her.
Tyler left early in the morning the next day whereas Vicky was barely able to wake up after noon. The
first thing she did was call Sebastian.
âHey, Sebastian. Tyler knows Cece and Jennifer are out of the country. Do you think he knows
something?â
Sebastian sounded serious as he replied, âHow did he know? N
She quickly told him about what Tyler said to her last night.
After he thought of it for a while, he said, âDonât panic. Iâll have someone check on if Harry did send
someone to the airport yesterday. Iâll call you back later.â
âAlright.â
After Vicky finished her dinner, Sebastian called her again.
âHey. I had someone checked, and Harry did send a customer to the airport. Coincidentally, Cece and
Jennifer arrived at the airport at the same time as Harry did.â
Vickyâs fried nerves finally settled down. âI guess I thought too much of it, then.â
Sebastian continued, âI also checked Tylerâs location. He took the plane and arrived at Auran roughly in
the evening. After that, he went straight to sign the contract.â âDid he really fly to Auran to sign a
contract?â
