As she focused on filtering the documents, the phone she placed on the desk started ringing.
Ring!
Vicky was startled by the sudden sound and took some time to calm her racing heart.
When she saw Tyler’s name on the screen, she twitched and answered the call right before it automatically ended.
“Tyler…*’ she whispered, her hand trembling as she held onto the phone.
“Nanny Paterson said you didn’t eat much today.’ His familiar voice came from the other end of the line. “Are you feeling unwell?”
“I’m fine. I just…didn’t sleep well.”
“Nightmares?”
“Yeah.”
“Why are they starting again all of a sudden?” Tyler’s voice turned into a low growl. “I’ll call Doctor Grimes to pay you a visit later.”
Doctor Grimes was the therapist who had been counseling Vicky.
Vicky felt a lump in her throat at the concern in his voice.
“I guess… I’m having a hard time adjusting to you going on a business trip.”
Tyler remained quiet for a few moments and said, “I’ll try my best to handle everything as soon as possible and come home.”
Vicky felt even more devastated as she stared at the laptop screen before her.
“I’m sorry…about what happened the day before yesterday. I forgot about our anniversary and neglected your feelings,’ she whispered.
“I’m not mad.”
“I know… You wouldn’t have sent your men over to help me if you were mad at me.”
“Yeah. If you’re struggling with something on your end, call me anytime you want.”
Tyler’s voice was calming and reassuring, and Vicky slowly began to regain her composure. “Alright.”
They continued to chat for a few more minutes, and Vicky ended the call before collapsing onto the chair.
Guilt, despair, and heartache threatened to drown her, and she shut the laptop down to leave the room.
After taking two steps away, she remembered something and turned around to open the drawer in the desk hesitantly.
She went straight for the third drawer. As she remembered, there was supposed to be a pen, a wallet, a photo, a watch, and a pair of rings inside, but it had been emptied.
Not willing to give up, she opened the first and second drawer as well, but there was nothing other than documents related to work.
‘Has he…moved all the stuff?’ she thought to herself and walked out of the room thoughtfully.novelbin
At eight that night, Vicky arrived at the hotel to find the room as dark as it was before.
She handed the USB to the man and said, “I copied these from his computer.”
The man accepted it and said, “Wait.”
He did not seem to be worried that she might run away and headed into the bedroom.
10 minutes later, the man returned.
