Chapter 542

Gloria glanced through the drafts and was in awe, not expecting Vicky’s designs to be so refreshing

and unique.

She only hired Vicky’s service because she was recommended by a friend; she never imagined that

Vicky was excelling as a fashion designer.

She suggested a few points for improvement, but not much was to be changed. The discussion ended

an hour later.

As they walked out of the cafe, Gloria said, “I have something scheduled after this, so I’ll get going

now.”

“Sure.” Vicky nodded.

The two were about to go their separate ways when a black car with no license plate stopped before

them.

Before they had the time to react, a few men darted out of the car and covered their noses with white

handkerchiefs.

Without any chance to resist, they instantly lost consciousness.

The sea breeze blew past Vicky’s body.

She felt cold and since she was still recovering from her cold, she started coughing.

“Ugh! Ack!” She coughed, and someone immediately placed a warm jacket on her shoulders.

Vicky opened her eyes.

The sound of sea waves echoed, and the scent of the ocean filled the air.

“Are you awake, Vicky?” a man’s voice rang in her ears, and it sounded husky and familiar.

Vicky looked up to find a man with brooding, handsome features. The diamond piercing on his ear

glittered under the moonlight and gave him an unruly, untameable presence.

The man looked familiar, but Vicky could not recall why. “Sir, who are you?” She scanned him up and

“Vicky, do you really not remember me?”

Vicky stared at him and shook her head.

“I’m Alex Torres.”

Her breath caught in her throat as she recalled the man she saw in her dream and what Sebastian

said. “You are…Alex?”

He beamed at her and said, “That’s right. I’m Alex. I’m back, Vicky.”

Vicky glanced around her. “Where am I?”

“We’re on my ship.”

Vicky was leaning on a couch inside the ship, and the sea breeze escaped inside through the window.

“Ugh!” Vicky coughed again, and Alex immediately got up to close the window.

“You looked ill since the last time I saw you. Have you not recovered?”

“It’s fine. I just caught a cold. I’m recovering now.” Vicky looked at him. “Why did you…kidnap me?”

A frustrated look appeared on his face. “I ordered my men to kidnap Gloria, but they saw you with her

and thought you were her friend, so they brought you here as well. Anyway…”
