“Vicky, are you arguing with me for Harvey’s sake?”

“I wouldn’t have said a word about this had this been a simple business decision, but that’s clearly notthe case.” She looked into his eyes and said, “Tyler, I don’t want you to hurt someone because of me.I’ve explained that nothing’s going on between me and Harvey countless times. He’s helped me somany times, yet this is what he gets in return? This is ungrateful.”

“Ungrateful? Vicky, is Harvey that important to you?”

“He helped me!”

“So what?” Tyler narrowed his eyes coldly. “He might look like he’s helping you, but he’s only using thatas an excuse to get closer to you. If I remember correctly, he’s advised you to leave me multiple timesbefore.”

“That’s because he misunderstood how I felt about you. This isn’t his fault. I was the one who asked forhis help…”

Tyler interrupted her coldly. “So? Are you trying to fight with me because of him?”

“I don’t want to fight.” Her expression eased slightly. “I just don’t want you to misunderstand and targetHarvey.”

After seconds of silence, Vicky turned her gaze toward him.” lf…you’re willing to spare Harvey, I won’tmeet him again or have any contact with him from now on. Will you consider

that?”

Tyler pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes darkly.

Vicky held onto his hand. “I’m pleading for him not because he holds a significant place in my heart, butbecause he’s helped me many times. Out of respect for that, please don’t harm him, alright?”

Tyler remained silent for quite a while. His expression was stoic, making it hard to discern his emotions.

Vicky stared at Tyler’s face in a vain attempt to read his mind.

Just when she thought he might stay silent, he finally spoke. “As long as I spare Johnson Corporation,you won’t meet or contact him again, correct?”

Vicky gently nodded.

A deep solitude gleamed in Tyler’s eyes. “Out of respect for you, I can agree to that, but you must fulfillyour promise.”

Vicky relaxed visibly. “Alright.”

Tyler affectionately kissed her forehead and carried her back to the bedroom.

The next day, Vicky woke up to the sound of running water echoing from the direction of the bathroom.

She checked the time and rose from the bed. After getting ready, she went downstairs to preparebreakfast.

Once breakfast was laid out on the table, Tyler came down the stairs.

“Let’s have breakfast,” said Vicky, placing a bowl of steaming oatmeal in front of him.

Tyler glanced at the bowl before him intently.

Vicky asked, “What’s wrong?”

Tyler snapped out of it. “Nothing.” He lifted the bowl gracefully and started eating his breakfast.

After breakfast, Tyler drove her to her studio. Just before she got out of the car, she paused hesitantly.

Seemingly aware of what was going through her mind, Tyler said calmly, “I’ll inform all the departmentsin the meeting later to cancel the acquisition plan for Johnson Corporation.
