Chapter 706
Tylerâs expression hardened. âFine, then.â He stood, his towering height giving him an intimidating
presence. âIâm off to work.â
She stared at him as he turned around and said, âMister
Hart, Iâve been hereâ¦far too long. I should get going now.â
He stilled and turned to look at her. âIf itâs because of what happened last night, I can assure you that it
wonât happen again.â
She instinctively looked away from his piercing gaze. âNo, thatâs not it. The matter with Jonathan is
about to be resolved, and itâs just time for me to go backâ¦â she spoke hesitantly.
Up until this point, she had not received any update from Gloria and Mister George, so she was merely
leaving because she realized how dangerous it was for her to stay with a man under the same roof.
She thought everything through the night before and noticed that part of what happened was her
responsibility, as well as some of her actions, which might have been misleading.
Vicky hated owing people and thought Tyler was only taking care of her for what she had done for him
in the past. She still felt bad and wanted to do something to make up for it, so she took up the task of
cooking three meals a day.
Tyler would occasionally return home later than usual, and she would wait in the living room to check if
he had eaten.
When he burnt the midnight oil working, she would offer him a warm glass of milk or some snacks.
She meant well but neglected the fact that her actions were out of line and that it was normal for Tyler
to misunderstand her intention.
After what happened the night before, Vicky could sense that something was bound to go wrong at
some point, so she had to leave.
He stared at her and asked, âWhen will you leave?â
â⦠Today.â
âAre you sure?â
She nodded with determination. âYeah.â
âWhere will you go? Iâll give you a lift.â
She shook her head. âItâs fine. Iâll leave on my ownâ¦â
Tyler took a step forward, and she instinctively backed away.
The wary look on her face looked ironic from his perspective, and he said, âDo whatever you want.â
With that, he grabbed the car keys and left.
Vicky had nowhere to go apart from the dorm, but since she could not return to the academy, she could
only stay in a hotel.
The living expenses in Molivia were extremely high, and she could not afford to stay in a proper hotel.
In the end, she had to settle in a motel that was located in a remote area.
After checking in, she walked a long way to a supermarket.
Living in a motel was different from staying home, and since she could not risk going out too frequently,
she bought bread, biscuits, and instant noodle packs.
Despite having everything planned, an accident happened on the very first day.
After closing the lights, darkness fell over the room, and since it was a cheap motel, there was a faint
moldy scent in the air.
Sometime later, she heard noises coming from the door that were barely noticeable.
She sat up immediately as she had not allowed herself to fall deeply asleep in such an unfamiliar
environment.
She jolted awake, and at the same time, the door opened quietly.
