Chapter 375
Tyler walked over to Vicky. âWhat happened?â
âNothing,â Vicky explained, âI accidentally knocked over a waiter and my gown is soaked with the
drinks. Iâll be fine after I change.â
Tyler looked at her. âDo you need me to go with you?â
She looked at the people from the other companies gazing at him and smiled. âItâs alright; Iâm fine on
my own. I can get some rest, too.â
Tyler knew she was not a fan of the party, so he nodded. âOkay.â
It had been over half an hour since she changed into a new gown, yet she did not return to the party
and decided to rest for a while. A waiter passed a key card of the room to her. âMissus Hart, this is your
room.â
Vicky politely thanked him. âThank you.â
âYouâre welcome, Missus Hart.â
Vicky took the card and entered the designated room.
The room was pitch black. Just as she was about to turn on the light, a hand suddenly appeared and
pulled her into the room. Startled, she subconsciously struggled to shout for help, but the hand covered
her mouth.
A familiar voice from the voice changer sounded beside her ear. âItâs me.â
Vicky paused. âWhyâ¦are you here?â
The man did not have his mask on. His lips touched her cheek with an ambiguous feeling. âSince you
canât think of a way, I decided to come up with a solution myself.â
Her eyes widened. âYou came here⦠Are you crazy?â
The man thought otherwise. âDonât you think this is exciting?â
Vicky struggled with all of her might. âYou madman! Let go of me!â
The man chuckled. âShh, keep your voice down. Tyler is downstairs⦠Or are you trying to attract him
here?â
âWhat are you trying to do?!â Vicky demanded.
âNothing,â the man said indifferently, âI just canât sleep without your bedtime story. If you can put me to
sleep, I wonât disturb you. What about that?â
Vickyâs gaze wavered. âAre youâ¦serious?â
âI suffer from insomnia, you see. When Iâm with you, the insomnia is gone. Isnât it weird?â the man
explained.
She looked at him curiously and could not tell if he was telling the truth. However, she knew better than
to agitate him because it would not do her any good.
She took a deep breath and said, âFine.â
She decided to leave this place as soon as she put this man to sleep.
When the light was switched on, Vicky was still slightly unconscious.
All of a sudden, the sound of footsteps approaching her became louder. Seconds later, a man spoke in
his low, clear voice at the bedside.
âVicky?â
She opened her eyes dazedly. In her blurry sight, she saw a handsome face. His brows and eyes were
magnificent as if they were drawn. His pupils were as blue as the ocean, and they were watching her.
Her pupils shook. âTyler⦠Why are you here?â
âI called you a few times, but you didnât answer.â Looking at how drowsy she was, he asked, âDid you
fall asleep?â
That question startled her, and she quickly took a look around the room, noticing that the masked man
was gone.
âWhat time is it?â she asked.
Tyler helped to tend her messy hair. âItâs already 10 p.m.â
Vicky was shocked. For some reason, she always ended up falling asleep after meeting the man.
There was a familiar scent on her body.
He was probably afraid she would discover something, so he must have burned relaxative, drowsiness-
inducing incense.
After she was asleep, she basically did not remember anything. The incense disgusted her, and she
refused to continue smelling the scent from her clothes.
She said, âMy clothes are wrinkled. Can you get me a new one?â
