Harvey nodded.
Just as they tidied up, the doorbell rang again.
Ding!
Vicky ignored it and worked quickly.
Alas, her phone rang, and she had no option but to answer it.
By then, most of Harvey's belongings had been put away. She answered the call while checking the room for things
she might have missed.
"Vicky, where are you?" Tyler asked in a cold tone.
Her heart dropped to her stomach, but she feigned a drowsy voice. "In my studio, of course."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Why aren't you opening the door?"
She paused and said, "I was taking a nap and didn't hear the bell. Are you at the door now?"
"Yeah."
"Hang on. I'm coming over to open the door."
After ending the call, Vicky motioned for Harvey to hide in Cece's room and went to answer the door. Tyler's tall and
slender figure was at the doorstep.
He watched as she rubbed her eyes drowsily and asked," Did I disturb you?"
"Not at all." Vicky ushered Tyler into the studio. "What brings you here all of a sudden?"
"Just happened to pass by, so I thought I’d drop in," Tyler replied, surveying his surroundings. "Aren't your two
assistants around?"
"They're on a business trip and haven't returned yet."
"Weren't they only supposed to be away for a week? They're still not back?"
Vicky was taken aback. She mentioned it in passing, so she had not expected him to remember.
"Yeah," Vicky answered softly. "There was a fashion exhibition over there, so I asked them to come back after
participating."
"I see." Tyler glanced around and asked casually, "How's the new studio? Are you satisfied with it?"
"Yes, it's great. Convenient location, and much larger than the previous studio."
Furthermore, the entire floor belonged to her, and the other areas had been beautifully renovated. However, the
studio's expansion was not completed yet, so it had not been put into full use.
"Though I've been here many times, I haven't had a close look," said Tyler, his gaze seemingly distant. "How about
giving me a tour?"
Vicky's eyes widened. "Aren't you supposed to be working this afternoon?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"My business partner had something urgent to attend to, so we rescheduled the afternoon signing for another
time."
Tyler looked at Vicky and smiled. "I’ve been so busy lately and haven't had much time with you. I happen to be free
this afternoon, so I thought I'd spend it with you."
Given his reasoning, refusing him might raise suspicion, so she forced a smile. "Alright." She began by showing Tyler
the yet-to-be-opened office areas. "It's just me, Cece, and Jennifer at the moment, so this section will be opened up
when we have more people."
Tyler followed quietly behind Vicky as she introduced room by room. They soon arrived at her own work area.
Vicky turned to ask, "You've visited my office before. Do you want to see it again?"
"Yes."
Vicky led him into her office and offered him a glass of water. "Have some water."
Tyler accepted the glass, but his gaze remained fixed on her office sharply as if he was searching for something.
Unable to find anything out of the ordinary, Tyler took a sip of water from the glass.
"By the way, I've seen Harry's design plans. I remember there are a few private rooms here," he spoke.
