“Are you trying to tell me that you didn’t dine and return to the same hotel at the same time, nor did he drink your alcohol on your behalf? You haven’t bought him any piece of clothing, and you two weren’t seen holding each other?”
She narrowed her eyes. “We ran into each other inside the elevator and went to the first floor together for the buffet. You saw it as well. He drank my beer simply because he didn’t want me to drink too much and hinder the progress of the filming. As for the clothing…” Vicky paused.
“I lost the jacket he lent me, and all I was trying to do was buy him a replacement. Charlie and I are just friends. I don’t like owing others. That’s the only reason why I bought him a jacket. That hug… He was simply shielding me from the attack of a hysterical fan of his. We parted ways from that point onward and have not seen each other since.”
The smoke rose and blurred Tyler’s features as he narrowed his dark eyes.
Vicky observed the man on the couch, not knowing if he was willing to believe her.
“Tyler-” Vicky wanted to speak, but was interrupted.
“So what?”
“What?”
He looked up to face the confused look on her face. “Vicky Shaw, I gave you a chance. You were the one who ignored my warning and got your face on the news with that actor.”
“But there’s a statement saying that it’s all just a misunderstanding…”
“Missus Hart, you have made me the laughingstock of Stoneford City. Did you actually think that calling it a misunderstanding can excuse you from it?”
Ordinary people might not know who she was, but members of the elite community recognized Vicky. Though they would never dare to expose her identity to the press, they immediately realized that she was the woman in the photo, and Vicky instantly began the talk of the town, i
Even if it was merely a misunderstanding, Tyler was too proud a man to accept it.
Unable to argue, Vicky muttered, “This is my problem, and Charlie has nothing to do with it. His career is already ruined and if he’s sued, his life will be over…”
Tyler sneered as he glared at her coldly. “You caused this. You ruined his career and his life,” he drawled.
She jolted in shock and gaped at him in disbelief. “Tyler Hart, you unreasonable lunatic!”
Not at all provoked, Tyler said, “If you know that I’m unreasonable, you should stay away from other men. This is just a small punishment, and if the same thing happens again…”
He lit the cigarette between his fingers but did not inhale it at all. He gazed down at it before putting it out.
His gaze returned to her with a cold viciousness. “You won’t get this lucky.”
Vicky’s blood ran cold as she struggled to find her voice. “Why?”
He lifted an eyebrow wordlessly.
She stared into his eyes. “If you don’t like me, why does it matter if I’m with someone else?” “Consider me a clean freak. I don’t like others touching what belongs to me, ” he said casually. “Even the trash I
toss aside belongs to me and no one can touch it without my permission.”
