Chapter 914
Ever since that day, the mysterious man had not reached out to Vicky again, and the peaceful days returned.
However, Tyler seemed to be extremely busy after that and no longer had time to return home for dinner.
One day, Tyler ended work early and returned home in time for dinner.
Vicky glanced at her watch and picked up her purse to leave her studio when her phone rang.
She pulled her phone out and smiled when she saw Tyler’s name on the screen.
She answered it and asked, “Have you returned home?”
After a brief moment of silence, Tyler said, “Vicky, something urgent came up.I’m afraid I can’t come home tonight
as well.”
The smile on her lips froze in place.
“A—Again?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Yeah.”
Vicky knew Tyler was busy as the CEO of Hart Corporation, but they had not been able to dine together for a whole
month, and she could not help feeling upset.
“Tyler, when will you be done with work?” she asked.
“It’ll take some more time.”
“I thought you didn’t have anything else to do today.”
“Something just came up last minute.”
Vicky held the phone in her hand in silence.
Tyler’s deep and gentle voice flowed from the other end of the line.
“After I finish my busy schedule, xo.com I’ll spend some quality time with you.”
“Okay.”
Vicky did not linger on the conversation.
“Just make sure to eat on time.”
After a few more exchanges, Vicky hung up the phone.
As she walked out of the office, she saw Cece, who was also preparing to leave.
“Cece, do you have plans for tonight?”
“No, not really.” Cece asked in surprise, “What’s up, Vicky? Do you need me to do something?”
“No,” Vicky said.
“Aren’t you wondering what to eat tonight? Come on, I’ll treat you.”
“Vicky…Aren’t you supposed to have dinner with Mister Hart tonight?”
Lately, because Tyler had not been coming home for dinner, so Cece, being single, had been accompanying Vicky
to have dinner.
At the mention of this, a trace of disappointment appeared on Vicky’s face.
“He has something urgent to attend to and won’t be coming home for dinner.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing Vicky’s downcast expression, Cece blurted out, “I’ve been wanting to go to that Mexican restaurant
anyway.Vicky, let’s go there tonight, alright?”
“Sure.”
The two of them gathered their things and hailed a taxi to the restaurant.
After ordering their food, Cece curiously asked, “Mister Hart seems to be very busy lately, doesn’t he?”
“Yeah, he has been working a lot recently.”
She looked at Vicky hesitantly and gently asked, “Vicky, is he really just busy with work?”
Vicky paused for a moment and said, “Of course.Why are you asking?”
“Even if he’s busy, he wouldn’t skip dinner together, right?’ Cece questioned.
Vicky understood what Cece was implying and chuckled.
“He is busy with work, yes.”
A few days ago, when Vicky did not have much work to do, she went to the Hart Corporation to deliver meals to
Tyler in person.Her visits would occasionally be at noon or in the evening.
Tyler was truly busy and was constantly answering phone calls even during meals.
At first, Vicky thought that she could accompany him to his office since she had nothing to do
