Chapter 1399
Vicky still had a fair amount of work to do, so she gathered her emotions and immersed herself in her tasks.
At half past four in the afternoon, Tyler called.
"I have a contract to sign tonight, so I won't be back too early," he said calmly. "You don't need to wait up for me.
Go to bed on time."
"Alright." Just as she was about to end the call, something crossed her mind, and she reminded him, "Don't drink
too much."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Sure." After a brief acknowledgment, he hung up.
Knowing Tyler would not be back too early, Vicky decided not to go home either. Instead, she continued working in
her office.
By the time she wrapped up her work, it was already dark outside.
Checking the time, she realized it was half past eight.
Considering Tyler would be returning soon, she hurriedly tidied her things and prepared to head home. Locking up
her office, she entered the elevator area.
The soft white light illuminated the elevator space, surrounded by quiet emptiness. With her eyes on her phone,
Vicky waited for the elevator.
The entire day had passed, and it seemed Harvey had not responded to her messages.
'Is the situation with Johnson Corporation that bad?' she thought.
As she contemplated whether to call Harvey again, a large hand covered her mouth. Vicky was completely
unprepared since she was lost in thought.
Just as she was about to struggle, a familiar, hoarse voice sounded from behind.
"Vicky, it's me."
Her heart sank, and her eyes widened when she saw the man behind her. "Harvey?"
Once she recognized him, Harvey released his grip. "Did I startle you?"
Vicky was about to question why he was here, but her attention was drawn to the blood stain on his white shirt.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"What...?" Her voice trembled. "Are you injured?"
Harvey seemed to be seriously hurt, his handsome face pale. "Let's get back to your office first."
Vicky swiftly supported Harvey as they made their way back to her office.
Vicky knew Harvey was severely injured, but she never imagined that he would be shot twice.
Upon inspecting his injuries, she said, "This won't do. You
need to go to the hospital right now."
Harvey shook his head. "No. Once I'm seen, my enemies will kill me on sight."
She studied his blood-tainted shirt hesitantly. "Why are you injured? Who's coming after you?"
Harvey looked up and locked eyes with her. "Will you believe me if I say that it's Tyler?"
