Chapter 335
Vicky looked up and looked away when she met his eyes.â⦠Iâm fine.â
Tyler narrowed his eyes but did not pressure her into answering. âLetâs get lunch.â
âSure.â
They had lunch in Tylerâs office, and since Vicky could not bring herself to go outside, she tried her best
to stay indoors.
In the afternoon, there were no other meetings, and Tyler stayed in his office to work.
He was occupied, and Harry and Adam would keep coming in and out with documents for him to sign
or to report updates about the company.
Vickyâs mind drifted for the entire afternoon and did not catch on when Tyler called out to her until he
walked toward her.
âWhatâs wrong? Is something bothering you?â
Her lashes fluttered, but she could not bring herself to look into his eyes.
If everything discussed during the meeting was true, it was likely that Sebastian was behind her
kidnapping.
âTyler, you still havenât told me how you got me out of Forever Night.â
Tyler sat down next to her and leaned backward lazily. âI know the owner of Forever Night, and he was
willing to do me a favor.â
Vicky had learned some of the details from Jane, so she did not believe a word Tyler said. She looked
up and stared into his eyes. âDid youâ¦pay a big price to get me out?â
âItâs not a problem if it can be resolved with money,â he said with a low voice. âSo long as youâre safe,
nothing else matters.â
He did not deny paying a price, and no matter how hard Vicky tried to press on the issue, Tyler refused
to give her an answer about what he sacrificed.
Vicky was both touched and overwhelmed by guilt. She felt like the biggest fool that had ever lived for
believing an outsider over Tyler.
Tyler had already been affected.
If the Millsâ business ran in Lovian, it would mean that the owner of Forever Night might be close to
Sebastian. If that was true, Sebastian scammed Tyler into paying him with her as leverage.
Vicky summoned every ounce of her resolution and said, âTyler, thereâs something that I havenât told
you about.â
He lowered his gaze at her. âWhat is it?â
âSebastianâ¦was the one who made arrangements for me to run to Lovian.â
Tylerâs expression darkened, but he did not seem surprised at all. âYeah. I know.â
She studied the composed look on his face in shock. âHow did you know?â
âSebastian is your childhood friend who cares about you. Heâs the only one who can help you, whom
you trust.â
She bowed her head in shame.
âVicky,â Tyler said. âDo you know that he once got you drunk to try and sleep with you?â
âThe number you have dialed cannot be reached at the moment. Please try again later.â
Sebastian set his phone down with a dark expression.
He had heard the voicemail message countless times at this point, but Vicky still had not picked up the
phone.
Just then, he heard someone knocking on the door, and a beautiful female assistant walked in.
