In the hospital ward, the scent of sanitizer filled the air, and as Tyler slowly opened his eyes, he spotted a blurred figure before him. He narrowed his eyes before finally realizing who the woman was.
“Miss Shaw?” he said weakly.
“Are you awake?” Vicky reached out to test his temperature before murmuring, “You’re still burning up.” She sat next to him and explained, Mister Hart, your temperature reached thirty-nine Celsius, so you were unconscious for three days.”
“Why are you here, Miss Shaw?” he asked.
“I was the one who spotted you and sent you to the hospital. ” She studied the pale look on his face. ‘Mister Hart, as important as work may be, your health is crucial. The doctor said that you have an extremely fragile stomach and that you probably haven’t been resting properly, which led to your cold worsening.”
His lashes fluttered as he studied her. “How did you know that I was sick, and how did you find me?”
Vicky chuckled. “You called and said you wanted me to play the piano for you that day, didn’t you? You didn’t come and wouldn’t pick up my calls. We haven’t known each other for long, but you don’t seem like the type to miss appointments. If something came up, you could have called and let me
know, but your phone was not shut off and you simply won’t answer the phone…” novelbin
He lifted an eyebrow. “And you instantly realized that something was wrong simply because I didn’t come?”
She cleared her throat sheepishly. “You bought my time for the entire afternoon, so I cleared my schedule and had nothing else to do. I waited three hours in the piano room for you, but you won’t answer my calls or respond to my texts. Since I have the time, I decided to go see you.”
On the day of Tyler’s birthday, his attention was drawn when he heard a wonderful melody in the garden and found a woman playing the piano.
He only reached out to her because he was impressed by her skill and wanted to listen to music as a form of stress relief.
He would contact her to play piano for him whenever he was free and would pay her handsomely, which seemed to be a fair deal.
Though Tyler was young at the time, he had been studying abroad and saw through Vicky’s thoughts right away.
He would pay Vicky after she performed, and since he did not show up for the appointment, Vicky must have thought that she was fooled and wanted to look for him to get even.
After all, Vicky had always been busy and was working a few part-time jobs at a time.
Tyler noticed that she hurried to a cafe to work after her last performance for him. Though her time was not as worthy as Tyler’s in terms of financial value, her time was extremely important to her.
Tyler did not expose her and said with amusement, “And how did you find me?”
Vicky’s eyes glittered. “When you sent me off to the cafe after our last appointment, you got a call from your business partner and I overheard you telling him to wait for you in the business building in the city center. You didn’t have a briefcase with you, nor did you show any intention of going somewhere else to retrieve the contract, so I guessed that your office…is somewhere around the building.”
“I was giving you a lift at the time,” he said in a hoarse, seductive voice. “What if I had gone somewhere else to get the documents after sending you to the cafe? Or maybe I just live near the business building.”
“You’re a punctual man, Mister Hart. Judging from the time you set to meet with your business partner, you won’t have any time to go anywhere else.” Vicky looked at Tyler intently. “I go to that area all the time and remember how long it takes to reach the building by foot or by car. Even if your house is around the same area, you would’ve given yourself at least an extra ten minutes in case something else happens.”
Tyler was impressed after hearing what she had to say.” You’re quite sharp, but how did you find exactly where I was in the building? Don’t tell me that you went knocking on each door.”
