Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 1398

Vicky trembled slightly but did not look away from Tyler. "Tyler, are you sure you aren't misunderstanding something?"

He lowered his gaze at her dazedly. Neither of them moved or looked away.

In the end, Vicky sighed and said, "Tyler, if something's bothering you, you can talk to me. Don't just bottle it all in. Also, about me and Harvey—"

Before she could finish, he lowered his head and kissed her.

"Tyler, wait—mph!"

Not giving her a chance to speak, he kissed her passionately.

...

Tyler was already gone when Vicky woke up the following morning.

Having just finished her morning routine, she received a call from Isabella.

"Missus Hart, have you found out what happened with Mister Hart that day?" Isabella seemed eager to uncover the events of that day and frequently sought updates.

"Not yet." Vicky's voice carried a tone of exhaustion. "I tried calling Valencia, but she hasn't been answering. I'm planning to visit her later to see if I can get any information from her."

Isabella continued, "The events of that day are crucial. We must understand exactly what transpired, or even the most advanced treatment plan might prove ineffective."

"I understand," Vicky replied softly. "He's changed a lot ever since he woke up from the recent coma. He's not as reliant on me as before, and his attitude toward me has grown distant. There seems to be...a barrier between us."

Vicky realized she probably would not get any useful information from Valencia and called Harvey instead.

To her surprise, no one answered no matter how many times she called.

Upon turning on the news, she came across reports that within only half an hour after the market opened that morning, Johnson Corporation's stock value triggered a circuit breaker.

It was evident that Johnson Corporation was facing an unprecedented crisis.

Valencia's departure, Tyler's avoidance, and Johnson Corporation's crisis cast an unprecedented shadow over Vicky's heart.

Returning to the office, she found that Cece and Jennifer had taken on a short-term project out of town for a week. With those two absent, the office seemed unusually vacant.
