Chapter 1021
Aurora watched the scene unfold without much interest before turning to look at Vicky.
Even though Vicky's sunglasses and face mask were covering her face, Aurora could still tell that she was not in a
good mood. She knew her mind was somewhere else, so she tapped her on the shoulder and said, "It's best to talk
to him, lest there be any misunderstanding."
Vicky nodded. She was happy to take her suggestion since she had been thinking about how to get out of window
shopping for quite a while.
"I'll be on my way then."
"Okay. Goodbye."
Once she got home, Vicky was about to call Elijah, but he beat her to it.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Vicky, I'm sorry," said Elijah remorsefully.
At that moment, Vicky had a splitting headache since she did not get enough rest the previous night. Her
exhaustion was compounded by the fact that she still went shopping with Aurora for most of the day.
She massaged her temples. "Did you leave in a hurry because of her?"
"Yvette and I have made plans to meet up previously, but I canceled on her because my family asked me to bring
you home for dinner at the last minute. As for today... we had plans to meet up too but... I had to cancel on her
again..." answered Elijah in a small voice.
Vicky knew Elijah had a date with his girlfriend today, but he had to cancel at the last minute because he had to go
to the bridal shop with Tyler and the others.
"She got mad at me because I canceled on her one too many times so I... I..."
He did not have to tell her the rest of the story for her to know what happened. She did not blame Elijah but instead
said, "I know how hard it has been for you and your girlfriend lately. I mean, it's okay if I was the one who saw what
happened, but if the media caught wind of it... It'll be a lot harder to explain then. As for Miss Starling..."
Vicky's face darkened at the thought of Aurora.
"What should we do about... Miss Starling?" Elijah asked cautiously.
"I'll explain it to her but make sure you don't let the same thing happen again in the future," Vicky answered lightly.
"Don't worry. There won't be a next time."
"Remember to explain things to your girlfriend too."
"Will do."
After saying goodbye, Vicky was about to hang up the phone when Elijah called out her name, "Vicky?"
"Yes? Is there anything else?"
After a few seconds of silence, Elijah simply said, "I'm sorry."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmVicky smiled. "It's okay. Don't worry about it."
Vicky immediately fell asleep after hanging up the phone. That was just how tired she was. She slept through the
whole night, and after a good night's rest, she felt better when she woke up the next morning.
She picked up her phone and saw an unread message. It was from Aurora. She tapped on the message and read, [
What did he say to you?]
Vicky wanted Aurora to help her keep it a secret, so after thinking about it, she called her. The phone rang a few
times before it was cut off by the Aurora.
A few seconds later, she received another text from Aurora.
[Sorry. I can't pick up the phone right now. I'll call you back when I'm free.]
[Okay.]
However, a full day passed, and Vicky did not receive a call from Aurora.
At night, Vicky was about to head to bed after taking her shower when her phone suddenly rang.
She picked up her phone and saw it was Aurora calling her.
As soon as she picked up the phone, she heard Aurora's drunk voice saying, "Vic...ky, come out... and... and drink...
with me."
