Vicky did not regret going to the performance.
âThe same goes for you,â said Tyler suddenly.
âHuh?â
Tyler pulled Vicky to him. âYouâre the most important person in my heart.â
Vicky was a little taken aback. She could not believe what she was hearing. âIs this his way of beingâ¦
romantic?â she wondered.
However, her surprise was mixed with happiness.
âThenâ¦which is more important to you, me or your career?â she could not help but ask.
âYou,â Tyler answered while hugging her tightly.
In the past, Vicky did not understand other women would fall for some scumbagâs sweet talks, but she
finally did. It was not because the words in itself had some sort of magical power; it was because those
words came out of the mouth of the person one loved the most in the world.ninjanovel.com
A wave of warm feelings flooded Vickyâs heart. However, she did not show it. âYou might say this now,
but youâll definitely choose your career over me if one day you were forced to make a choice.â
Tyler buried his head into the crook of her neck. âNever.â
âDonât be so sure about it. Iâve never met a man whoâd choose a woman over his career,â whispered
Vicky.
A man like Tyler, especially, would never do that. Vicky was sure of it.
âThatâs becauseâ¦I havenât met you yet,â Tyler said in a low voice.
A smile subconsciously appeared on Vickyâs face. Whether Tyler meant what he said, it did not matter
for it was enough for Vicky to hear it straight from his lips.
âFine. You should lie down and rest.â Vicky helped him to lie on the bed comfortably. âThe most
important thing for you to do now is to get your body back to health.â
Tyler looked at her and nodded.

Vicky stayed to take care of Tyler in the hospital for the next seven days.
It was during that time she finally understood why Tyler was so busy recently, even to the point of
falling sick.
One day, as she entered the ward with lunch in her hand, she saw Tyler standing by the window with a
call on speaker. He had lost a lot of weight in the past month, making his already slim figure even
slimmer. ninjanovel.com
âThe other party is very aggressive. Theyâre deliberately trying to screw us over,â said Tyler in a tense
voice. copied from
âBut what would they gain from doing that? In fact, they stand to incur even more losses. Who would be
stupid enough to do that?â came a desperate voice from the other end of the phone.
Tyler broodingly stared out of the window and said nothing.
âTyler, canât you come up with something? All the painstaking efforts weâve poured into the company
will be ruined if this continues.â
âIâm afraid thereâs nothing we can do. The other party has better ninjanovel.com connections and
resources than us. We can only sit tight and do nothing if theyâre really planning to screw us over,â said
Tyler calmly.
It was a cut-throat business, and at this moment, the disparity in power was akin to those between an
adult and a child.
âHowever, the fact that the other partyâs deliberately targeting us means they want to get something out
of us, so letâs wait and see what their next move will be,â Tyler added.
He then hung up the phone after chatting for a few more minutes.
As soon as Tyler put down his phone, Vicky frowned and asked, âIs your company in serious trouble?â
Tyler turned back and made eye contact with her worried eyes. He smiled to reassure her. âDonât worry.
The companyâs doing fine.â
âThis has been going on for a month, right?â asked Vicky. She looked at his handsome and gaunt face,
and her heart could not help but break at the thought of the things he was going through. âIs this the
reason whyâ¦why youâve been so busy recently?â
