“The same goes for you,” said Tyler suddenly.
“Huh?”
Tyler pulled Vicky to him. “You’re the most important person in my heart.”
Vicky was a little taken aback. She could not believe what she was hearing. ‘Is this his way of being…romantic?’ she
wondered.
However, her surprise was mixed with happiness.
“Then…which is more important to you, me or your career?” she could not help but ask.

Tyler buried his head into the crook of her neck. “Never.”
“Don’t be so sure about it. I’ve never met a man who’d choose a woman over his career,” whispered Vicky.

Tyler looked at her and nodded.

us. We can only sit tight and do nothing if they’re really planning to screw us over,” said Tyler calmly.
It was a cut-throat business, and at this moment, the disparity in power was akin to those between an adult and a
