Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1353

Avery could not understand how Vicky was better than her.

Status-wise, she was the only daughter of the Yeager family, and marrying her meant that Tyler would obtain all the power the Yeagers held. In terms of looks, her beauty rivaled Vicky's. All that, yet Tyler could not be bothered to look at her.

Avery felt wronged and picked up the documents on the desk to look through them.

When she saw the words written on the pages, her eyes widened, and her heart skipped a beat.

A few minutes later, Isabella hurried back before she could make coffee.

She glanced at Avery—who was playing with her phone on the couch—and glanced at the documents on the table. It seemed as though the documents had not been touched.

Isabella sighed a breath of relief before locking the documents into her drawer and returning to making coffee.

Avery stared at her as she left and narrowed her eyes slyly.

…

At four in the afternoon, Tyler came to pick up Vicky from work.

"I'm done with work," remarked Vicky when she received Tyler's call, her surprise evident in her voice. "You... Are you done with work, too?"

She kept checking the time, afraid she might be mistaken.

Tyler had been clinging onto her quite closely recently, but his work never suffered. Usually, she had to coax him several times before he reluctantly put away his work and left the office. No matter how late it was, Tyler's workaholic nature remained unchanged.

"Yes," Tyler replied calmly, his voice devoid of emotion. "I'm downstairs. Should I come up, or will you come down?"

She pressed it a few more times, but it still did not work.

The elevator in this building occasionally required maintenance, and Vicky was not sure when it would be repaired.

Considering that Tyler was waiting for her downstairs, she hesitated for a few seconds before deciding to take the stairs. Her studio was on the eleventh floor, so walking downstairs would not take too long or be too strenuous.

However, little did Vicky know, the elevator resumed working almost as soon as she entered the stairwell. By the time she walked out of the building, eight minutes had passed.

Vicky took out her phone, only to find that there was no signal. The stairwell in this building was poorly covered, and her phone often lost its signal there.

Putting her phone away, Vicky looked around and was about to search for Tyler's car when her phone suddenly regained signal and started ringing.

Vicky answered the call to hear Cece's anxious voice on the other end. "Vicky, where are you? Mister Hart is going crazy looking for you!"
