Chapter 1174

Vicky, who was seated next to him, felt tormented. She would not even be there if the matter did notconcern the company’s well-being. From the moment Tyler walked into the room, he pretended like shedid not exist.

After the food was served, Tyler was the first to take some to put on Sheila’s plate as though they werenewlyweds on their honeymoon. For some reason, Vicky could not help but feel a little crestfallen atthis.

When Vicky dated Tyler, he was not as romantic as he was with Sheila, and he did not care aboutVicky too. In fact, when they went out to eat, he would busy himself with the food on his plate and leaveVicky 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 tomake 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 herselfin danger would be higher if that were to happen.

Then again, not everyone would understand her reasoning for not wanting to drink since societyprogressed to a point where no social events would be complete without alcohol. Frankly, Vicky foundthe 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 forwhat happened during the fitting. I alone take responsibility for it. I hope you can replace it in your heart toforgive 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 letbygones be bygones.”

Shocked, Sheila immediately stood up to take the glass of wine from Vicky when Tyler suddenly saidcoldly, “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 wereall 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 needto attend another event later.”

Stung by the rejection, Vicky did not immediately put down the wine glass, so it remained floating inmid-air. However, she soon found the composure to smile and say, “If that’s the case, would coffeedo?”

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 makea proper apology?”

It was not that long ago Vicky had just started working, so she was inexperienced on how the world ofbusiness worked.

However, her boss immediately understood what Tyler was hinting at. He turned toward Vicky andordered, “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 indifferentface. But he

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