"As you can see, I'm busy,’ said Tyler coldly. "Things would come up, and after the meeting yesterday, I had to hurry
off to somewhere else for work."
“If you were busy, why didn't you tell me?"
"You called me until my phone ran out of battery, so how am I supposed to inform you?" he retorted.
"You could've asked your assistant-"
"My phone ran out of battery because you and my business partners couldn't get in touch with me. Are you saying
that instead of calling them to apologize, my assistant was supposed to prioritize you above everything?’ The look in
his eyes sharpened. "Vicky, you almost cost Hart Corporation millions of dollars."
"Was it that bad?" Vicky asked.

"I'm sorry.’ Vicky did not expect her actions to have such severe consequences. "I didn't expect this to happen..."
"Had it not been because of the phone, I would've signed the contract and gotten everything done within half an
hour, which means I would've made it in time to the Civil Administration office to file the divorce. However, due to
your actions, the client was upset with us and insisted on renegotiating the terms. We were required to apologize to
the client and even had to give up on some of our profits. Also..." i
"There's more?" Her heart sank.
"Had it not been for you, I wouldn’t have to work all night."
Since Tyler did not seem to be lying, Vicky had no option but to keep apologizing. "I’m sorry. I didn't know. I just
thought that..."
He sneered. "Did you think I was dragging this on purpose to avoid divorcing you?"
Vicky did not say a word, but she could not help wondering if Tyler was lying to her. After all, it seemed unlikely that
Tyler could not tell what she was thinking.
He grabbed the document on his desk and asked, "Have you brought all your documents?"
She glanced at the bag in her hand and said, "Yeah."
"I’ll see you in front of the Civil Administration office at two in the afternoon.’
' Are you sure?" she asked hesitantly.
' Believe whatever you want." The look in his eyes darkened.
"I'll believe you.” She sighed a breath of relief and felt overwhelmed by conflicted feelings. "I'll let you get back to

She stopped. "What is it?"
He handed her a sealed document folder. "These are the copies of the divorce agreement. Take them with you."
'He actually hands me the divorce agreement!’ she exclaimed inwardly. 'I guess he does want a divorce.'
"Alright," she said without hesitation.
At noon, Vicky sat in a restaurant for lunch near the Civil Administration office.
Though Tyler had agreed to come, Vicky was uncertain if he would fulfill his promise as something else might come
up to stop him from doing so again.
After lunch, she headed out of the restaurant and was about to head to the same cafe as she waited for Tyler.
The cafe was not far from the restaurant and was only a few minutes away on foot.
She stood by the road and waited for the traffic light to turn green.
Occupied by her thoughts, however, she did not notice an approaching motorcycle, and when the light turned
green, she started to cross the road only to have her bag snatched from her hands. 2
Before she could register what had happened, the thief got her bag, and she immediately shouted, "Help! A t—"
She choked on the word 'thief as the man had already zipped away on his motorcycle.
