However, Avery found the idea of introducing Vicky to Lincoln rather promising. She hated them both, and the thought of them making each other miserable was truly delightful. Moreover, given Vicky’s background, she would never become a member of the Hart family. Even if Lincoln took her in, Vicky would merely be a mistress at best.
The notion of Vicky becoming a despised, hidden mistress brought immense satisfaction to Avery. With Valencia and Orion disliking her as well, Vicky would not have it easy for sure; even Old Mister Hart would not want Vicky to continue lingering around Tyler.
A sinister plan began to form in Avery’s mind. “Lincoln does seem quite fitting for Vicky,” she said with a suppressed smile. “Vicky, how about I arrange a meeting between you and Lincoln in a couple of days?”
Vicky’s eyes darkened with disgust. “I’m already in a relationship.”
“If he’s not willing to marry you, then you’re better off without such a man.”
“Miss Yeager-“
“Alright, it’s settled then,” Avery cut in. “And by the way, just call me Avery.”
Vicky struggled to hide her impatience.
After finishing the meal, the trio left the restaurant.
“Vicky, where are you living now? Why don’t I have Tyler drive you home?” offered Avery pretentiously.
“It’s fine,” Vicky responded coldly. “I drove here myself.”
Avery’s offer was a mere formality, so she did not insist.” Alright then…”
“Vicky?” Avery’s words were interrupted by a surprised voice from behind.
All three turned and were equally taken aback.
“Gilbert?” Vicky looked at the man approaching her. “Are you having dinner here too?”
Gilbert nodded, his gaze shifting between Avery and Tyler. He smiled. “So, this was the friend you had to meet on short notice?”
After signing the contract, Gilbert suggested taking Vicky out for a meal. Normally, it would be quite ordinary for him to dine with Aurora’s friends, considering he was Aurora’s senior. Vicky had agreed at the time but later received a call that required her to reschedule their mealtime as she needed to do something.
Hence, it was unexpected that they ran into one another.
Vicky nodded. “Yes.”
Before Gilbert could say anything, Avery exclaimed, “Vicky, is this your boyfriend?”
Gilbert knew Vicky did not have a boyfriend, but he also realized that revealing the truth in this context might cause problems for Vicky, so he did not immediately answer, instead looking at Vicky for guidance.
Vicky shook her head at Gilbert and said to Avery, “You’re mistaken. We’re just friends.”
Avery appeared to be suspicious as she drawled, “Oh? Just friends?”
Gilbert sensed the impatience in Vicky’s eyes and assumed she was not friends with the two other people, so he said,” Vicky, I just remembered that I left a document in your studio. Do you have time now?”
Vicky gladly took the excuse to leave. “Sure.” She turned to bid her farewell to Avery. “I have something to attend to, so I’ll head back now.”
Avery did not press on. “Sure. Go ahead.”
Turning around, she took Tyler’s arm. “Tyler, let’s go.” 2 Tyler nodded.
