Tyler did not say much and simply asked, “Have you eaten?”
“I came after having lunch.”
Tyler set the documents in his hand on the desk and asked casually, “Are you going back in theafternoon?”
“Yeah. There are still some things to take care of at the studio, so I’ll need to head back later,” shereplied, “but I’m not in a rush.”
After a few moments of silence, Vicky whispered, “Am I getting in the way?”
“No.” Tyler glanced at the clock. “My next meeting is scheduled at two. I’m free until then.”
“That’s good, then.”
Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Harry stepped in with a pile of documents. “Mister Hart,here are the documents related to the buyout of Johnson Corporation…”
He spotted Vicky sitting on the couch and paused in his sentence. Nonetheless, he swiftly smiled andsaid,” Welcome, Missus Hart.”
He regained his composure swiftly, but Vicky still caught the peculiar fleeting look in Harry’s eyes.
She nodded, and Harry simply handed the file he held to Tyler.
Tyler casually glanced through it and set the materials on his desk.
After exchanging greetings with both of them, Harry left.
Once Harry was gone, Vicky casually asked, “Has Hart Corporation come up with any new acquisitionplans recently?”
“Acquisitions are a lengthy process, and
Vicky sensed his reluctance to elaborate, so she refrained from further inquiries.
She headed to the tea counter, where she boiled a pot of water. She would always brew a pot of tea forTyler after lunch.
The water quickly boiled, its vapor rising into the air and dissipating.
After steeping the tea leaves, Vicky lifted her head and noticed Tyler was engrossed in the documentshe was reading, seemingly unaware of her presence.
As she poured the tea and let it cool to a suitable temperature, she brought the cup over.
Unfortunately, she did not grip the cup firmly enough. With a ‘ clink’, the cup fell to the floor, splashinghot water onto the back of her hand.
“Ah!” yelped Vicky.
Just as she was about to search for the fallen cup, Tyler
grabbed her hand.
His defined features came into her view. His expression was tense, his gaze intense, and his lips werepressed together tightly.
“Where are you hurt?” His voice had a tinge of coldness.
“I’m alright.”
The temperature of the tea had cooled just enough to be drinkable, so the splash merely caught heroff-guard.
Nonetheless, Vicky’s delicate skin turned slightly red due to the water.
Nevertheless, Tyler’s expression remained exceedingly stern. He fetched a medical kit and diligentlyapplied a cooling ointment to the back of her hand.
Observing his focused expression, Vicky felt touched. “I’m fine,” she said softly. “It’s just a bit red now,but it’ll fade in a little while.”
After applying the ointment, Tyler looked at her again with emotions in his eyes she could not decipher.
