Chapter 682
Vicky went in through the door and saw Tyler reading on his bed.
The remnants of the sunset spilled through the pristine window and caressed the chiseled contours of
the manâs handsome face, casting a rosy glow over his features like a serene and graceful painting.
Vicky was an art student, so the beautiful sight before her captured her eyes and she could not bring
herself to look away.
Tyler heard her entering the room but did not lift his head.
Puzzled by the absence of footsteps and chattering, he glanced up and met the womanâs starry-eyed
gaze.
âWhy are you back so early today?â he asked expressionlessly.
Vicky immediately snapped out of it and looked away sheepishly. â1 brought you dinner.â She took out
the packed food. âYou once said that you like the food from this restaurant, right? I brought you some of
their dishes⦠Oh, I made them pack the spaghetti and sauce separately.â
Tylerâs germaphobia affected his life greatly, and he disliked the idea of mixing the sauce with any food
that he was consuming, so Vicky made sure not to trigger that.
Tyler glanced at the bag, and the look on his face darkened as he thought of something. âI donât want
it.â
âBut you saidââ
He interrupted her impatiently, âTake it away.â
Vicky could sense that Tyler had been in a bad mood in the past two days and frowned. âMister Hart,
what is wrong with you lately? Is something bothering you?â
Tyler had been having extreme mood swings in the past two days and would be sarcastic on occasion.
He looked up and said, âHow is that any of your business? Donât you think youâre stepping out of line?â
âThis again!â Vicky thought with resignation. Instead of getting angry, she asked patiently, âWhat do you
want, then? Should I cook for you or perhaps buy something else for you in a different restaurant?â
âI donât want anything.â
âNo way. You havenât recovered and your stomach is frail, so you have to eat at least three meals a
dayâ¦â
âWhether I have a frail stomach and take my meals on time is my decision to make. Youâre just
someone I hired, so just follow whatever command your employer gives you.â He narrowed his eyes
sharply. âMiss Shaw, you are out of line.â
Though she knew that he was telling the truth, she could not help but feel a sharp pain in her chest.
âMister Hart, I donât mean to bother you,â she whispered. âIâm just worried about you.â
âI donât need your worry.â His expression was frosty and distant like the first time she knew him.
Vicky could sense that they had grown closer in the past week.
âAlso⦠Iâve never asked for you to take care of me here,â Tyler added coldly. âIf youâre busy, you are
free to leave, Miss Shaw. Thereâs no point in acting like youâre just repaying your debt to me when all
you want is to entertain multiple ends at a time.â
âEntertain multiple ends at a time?â she repeated in confusion. âWhat does that mean, Mister Hart?â
Her eyes were filled with confusion, and had Tyler not seen the scene earlier, he might have believed
that she did not have any ulterior motive.
Not wanting to explain himself, he said, âJust leave. Donât come back again.â
Vicky had been devoted to taking care of Tyler. Though Tyler had never shot a smile her way, she did
not expect to be treated so cruelly.
Tears welled in her eyes. âMister Hart, is it something I did that upset you?â
