Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1174

Chapter 1174

Vicky, who was seated next to him, felt tormented. She would not even be there if the matter did not concern the

company's well-being. From the moment Tyler walked into the room, he pretended like she did not exist.

After the food was served, Tyler was the first to take some to put on Sheila's plate as though they were newlyweds

on their honeymoon. For some reason, Vicky could not help but feel a little crestfallen at this.

When Vicky dated Tyler, he was not as romantic as he was with Sheila, and he did not care about Vicky too. In fact,

when they went out to eat, he would busy himself with the food on his plate and leave Vicky to fend for herself. It

was Vicky who slowly taught him how to be a caring and romantic boyfriend, yet the one who benefited from her

teaching was Sheila.

Suddenly, Cecilia nudged Vicky, pulling the latter out of her reverie. "Vicky, the boss is talking to you."

Vicky turned toward the boss, who sat across the table from her. He gave Vicky a look, signaling her to make a

toast as an apology. However, Vicky rarely drank; no matter whether she was home or abroad. She thought it was

risky to get drunk since the chances of her making a fool of herself or putting herself in danger would be higher if

that were to happen.

Then again, not everyone would understand her reasoning for not wanting to drink since society progressed to a

point where no social events would be complete without alcohol. Frankly, Vicky found the whole thing annoying, but

the situation that night called for her to take one for the team.

Thus, after pouring herself a glass of wine, she stood up and said, "Miss Young, I'm really sorry for what happened

during the fitting. I alone take responsibility for it. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me and give our

company another chance." She then offered the glass of wine in her hand to Sheila and said solemnly, "I hope you'll

accept this glass of wine from me as an apology and let bygones be bygones."

Shocked, Sheila immediately stood up to take the glass of wine from Vicky when Tyler suddenly said coldly, "Sheila

isn’t a good drinker, so she'll take a pass."

An awkward silence immediately ensued after that.

Everyone started to shift in their seats anxiously as the tension thickened in the room. In fact, they were all

wondering the same thing-did this mean Tyler was not willing to forgive them?

Sheila glanced at Tyler before apologetically saying, "Sorry, Ms. Shaw. I'm afraid I can't drink as I need to attend

another event later."

Stung by the rejection, Vicky did not immediately put down the wine glass, so it remained floating in mid-air.

However, she soon found the composure to smile and say, "If that's the case, would coffee do?"

Sheila was about to say yes when Tyler cut in, "Is that all you

have to show for your sincerity?"

Vicky turned toward Tyler and asked, "I'm sorry, Mister Hart, but do you mean..."

Tyler raised his eyes to meet hers and said mockingly, "Do you still need me to teach you how to make a proper

apology?"

It was not that long ago Vicky had just started working, so she was inexperienced on how the world of business

worked.

However, her boss immediately understood what Tyler was hinting at. He turned toward Vicky and ordered, "Vicky!

You should drink three glasses of wine first to show how sorry you are."

'Oh, so that's what he meant...' thought Vicky. She looked toward Tyler's handsome and indifferent face. But he

should know better than anyone else here that I don't drink.'
