It was not a bad idea for her to start afresh and seek an alternative path elsewhere.
While she mulled over this, someone opened the door rudely.
Slam!
Vicky was startled as she looked at the door, her heart racing.
In came Tyler, his expression flat. He pursed his lips into a tight line as an ominous aura emanated from him.
She had no idea how she annoyed him again and felt conflicted by his behavior.
“What is it?”
He stood at the door and stared at her for a few seconds before asking, “Do you really need people to keep asking you to have dinner?”
“I told Nanny Paterson that my work isn’t finished and that you should eat without me.”
“I don’t like eating alone,” he replied, histone chilling. “Come down and eat with me.”
“But my work isn’t done yet…”
“You can continue later,” Tyler said.
Vicky frowned. “I’m not hungry yet.”
His eyes darkened. “Vicky Shaw, I’m going to say it for one last time. Get your *ss down for dinner.”
Vicky did not like the way he was ordering her. It reminded her of the awful week she spent in Arrowtown.
She said coldly, “Don’t I have the freedom to choose when to have my dinner?”
Tyler silently shot her an indescribable look. She got the chills from that.
A few seconds later, he approached her and hoisted her up in his arms without saying anything. Her eyes were wary and her body grew taut as to what was to come.
“Tyler, what are you doing?”
Tyler said calmly, “Since you don’t want to eat, let’s do something else. Maybe…you’ll be hungry later.”
In the end, none of them had their dinner that night.
On the second day, Tyler also returned home on time for dinner, but yet again, Vicky was not in the dining room.
He looked at Nanny Paterson. “Ask Vicky to come down for dinner.”
Nanny Paterson looked back with hesitation. “Sir…Missus finished her dinner before you came back.”
His eyes darkened. “Is that so?”
That was all he said before he walked upstairs.
Nanny Paterson looked at him walking fiercely up the stairs and felt worried.
This time, Vicky finished her dinner before Tyler was back. She did not want to give Tyler the chance and reason to sleep with her. As she sat at the table, her mind tinkered with the ideas and logistics of
moving her career overseas, even though her eyes were looking at the book in front of her.
Slam! The door flew open violently.
After yesterday’s experience, she was quick to calm down.
“Tyler,” she said while looking at the gloomy man, “Can you please knock before coming in?”
“Why should I knock when this is my house?”
Vicky knew Tyler was just looking for trouble, yet she could not help herself.
“As the CEO of Hart Corporation, you shouldn’t be so rude and impolite, right?”
A cynical look appeared on his handsome face while he smiled evilly. Yet, he did not really smile because he was happy. There was no trace of emotion in the depths of his eyes.
