Chapter 666
In the hospital ward, the scent of sanitizer filled the air, and as Tyler slowly opened his eyes, he spotted
a blurred figure before him. He narrowed his eyes before finally realizing who the woman was.
âMiss Shaw?â he said weakly.
âAre you awake?â Vicky reached out to test his temperature before murmuring, âYouâre still burning up.â
She sat next to him and explained, Mister Hart, your temperature reached thirty-nine Celsius, so you
were unconscious for three days.â
âWhy are you here, Miss Shaw?â he asked.
âI was the one who spotted you and sent you to the hospital. â She studied the pale look on his face.
âMister Hart, as important as work may be, your health is crucial. The doctor said that you have an
extremely fragile stomach and that you probably havenât been resting properly, which led to your cold
worsening.â
His lashes fluttered as he studied her. âHow did you know that I was sick, and how did you find me?â
Vicky chuckled. âYou called and said you wanted me to play the piano for you that day, didnât you? You
didnât come and wouldnât pick up my calls. We havenât known each other for long, but you donât seem
like the type to miss appointments. If something came up, you could have called and let me
know, but your phone was not shut off and you simply wonât answer the phoneâ¦â
He lifted an eyebrow. âAnd you instantly realized that something was wrong simply because I didnât
come?â
She cleared her throat sheepishly. âYou bought my time for the entire afternoon, so I cleared my
schedule and had nothing else to do. I waited three hours in the piano room for you, but you wonât
answer my calls or respond to my texts. Since I have the time, I decided to go see you.â
On the day of Tylerâs birthday, his attention was drawn when he heard a wonderful melody in the
garden and found a woman playing the piano.
He only reached out to her because he was impressed by her skill and wanted to listen to music as a
form of stress relief.
He would contact her to play piano for him whenever he was free and would pay her handsomely,
which seemed to be a fair deal.
Though Tyler was young at the time, he had been studying abroad and saw through Vickyâs thoughts
right away.
He would pay Vicky after she performed, and since he did not show up for the appointment, Vicky must
have thought that she was fooled and wanted to look for him to get even.
After all, Vicky had always been busy and was working a few part-time jobs at a time.
Tyler noticed that she hurried to a cafe to work after her last performance for him. Though her time was
not as worthy as Tylerâs in terms of financial value, her time was extremely important to her.
Tyler did not expose her and said with amusement, âAnd how did you find me?â
Vickyâs eyes glittered. âWhen you sent me off to the cafe after our last appointment, you got a call from
your business partner and I overheard you telling him to wait for you in the business building in the city
center. You didnât have a briefcase with you, nor did you show any intention of going somewhere else
to retrieve the contract, so I guessed that your officeâ¦is somewhere around the building.â
âI was giving you a lift at the time,â he said in a hoarse, seductive voice. âWhat if I had gone somewhere
else to get the documents after sending you to the cafe? Or maybe I just live near the business
building.â
âYouâre a punctual man, Mister Hart. Judging from the time you set to meet with your business partner,
you wonât have any time to go anywhere else.â Vicky looked at Tyler intently. âI go to that area all the
time and remember how long it takes to reach the building by foot or by car. Even if your house is
around the same area, you wouldâve given yourself at least an extra ten minutes in case something
else happens.â
Tyler was impressed after hearing what she had to say.â Youâre quite sharp, but how did you find
exactly where I was in the building? Donât tell me that you went knocking on each door.â
