Vicky knew that even as a married couple, they needed their space, but that did not mean he should not speak up about meeting another woman just because she did not ask.
Aria spoke at the right moment, "Ms.Shaw, Mister Hart and I have a business collaboration which you should be aware of.I'm sure you've asked about our relationship, and he has explained it to you.If there was anything between us, you wouldn't be married to him now."
Pausing for a moment, Aria tactfully continued, "Ms.Shaw, throwing tantrums occasionally adds to a woman's charm, but you shouldn't be too petty.You're now Mister Hart's wife, and your every action and word represents his image.As for me...Well, I'll let it slide.After all, I've known Tyler for many years and can be considered friends.However, I'd advise caution in front of others."
Vicky looked at Aria and asked, "Miss Everly, are you telling me that I'm being petty?"
Aria smiled.
"As I mentioned earlier, if you don't like me linking arms with Mister Hart, I won't do it again.But even without me, there will be other women out there, right? This behavior doesn't signify intimacy but rather politeness.I understand that you grew up in a different environment, so it's difficult for you to grasp what I'm saying...However, you will have to adapt to these things sooner or later.You still have a long life ahead of you, and if you get jealous over such trivial matters, how will you move forward?"
Vicky's expression gradually hardened, as she thought to herself, ‘What a sharp tongue!"
On the surface, Aria was talking about their different upbringings, but in reality, she was implying that Vicky's background made her unworthy of Tyler.Tyler's lack of transparency should have been his problem, but Aria somehow managed to make it sound like it was Vicky's fault.
Vicky raised her gaze.
"When did I say I was jealous?"
"Aren't you jealous, Ms.Shaw?"
Aria showed a surprised expression and smiled, glancing at Tyler.
"Sorry, Tyler, I misunderstood.I thought...Ms.Shaw would be jealous.That's why I went to the lengths of explaining everything. novelebook.com I only meant to let Ms.Shaw know that we only have a professional relationship.I didn’t expect..." She sighed lightly.
"I was overthinking."
Cece stood there, seemingly dumbfounded as she watched Aria.
Among all the women she had seen around Tyler Hart, this woman was undoubtedly the most formidable.
With just a casual remark, she could stir up the relationships of others.
If Vicky admitted that she was jealous, she would be considered self-centered, but if she claimed that she was not, it could be interpreted as her lack of care toward Tyler.
Nothing she could say would be right.
Though Tyler might not feel anything toward Aria, Vicky could not help but wonder if it would be appropriate for him to spend time with such a scheming woman.
"Your throat must feel dry from all that talking, Miss Everly." Vicky poured a glass of water.
"Would you like some water?"
"No, thanks." Aria smiled.
"I heard that wine selection here is great, so I intend on getting a bottle."
"If that's the case, I won't keep you two from enjoying your dinner." Aria glanced around.
"Ms.Shaw, we booked a room.Would you like to join us? This table is too close to the entrance, and the wind can get in quite easily.If you catch a cold, Tyler will worry about you."
"It's fine," Vicky said coldly.
"This table has a great view.My food is getting cold.Please carry on ahead to your room."
Tyler scowled and wanted to say something, but Aria reminded him, "Tyler, we have a business meeting later.If we don't eat now, we'll be late."
He glanced at the time and shot Vicky a thoughtful look.
"We'll talk when I get home tonight."
"Sure.Go ahead." Vicky remained expressionless.
The two went into the VIP room, and as they walked away, Cece muttered in frustration, "Who does that woman think she is?!"
