Loving You In Secret novel Chapter 651

"As you can see, I'm busy," said Tyler coldly. "Things would come up, and after the meeting yesterday, I had to hurry off to somewhere else for work."

"If you were busy, why didn't you tell me?"

"You called me until my phone ran out of battery, so how am I supposed to inform you?" he retorted.

"You could've asked your assistant—"

"My phone ran out of battery because you and my business partners couldn't get in touch with me. Are you saying that instead of calling them to apologize, my assistant was supposed to prioritize you above everything?" The look in his eyes sharpened. "Vicky, you almost cost Hart Corporation millions of dollars."

"Was it that bad?" Vicky asked.

"What would happen if you have an appointment with one of your clients, and they suddenly can't get hold of you?"

"I'm sorry." Vicky did not expect her actions to have such severe consequences. "I didn't expect this to happen..."

"Had it not been because of the phone, I would've signed the contract and gotten everything done within half an hour, which means I would've made it in time to the Civil Administration office to file the divorce. However, due to your actions, the client was upset with us and insisted on renegotiating the terms. We were required to apologize to the client and even had to give up on some of our profits. Also..."

"There’s more?" Her heart sank.

"Had it not been for you, I wouldn’t have to work all night."

Since Tyler did not seem to be lying, Vicky had no option but to keep apologizing. "I'm sorry. I didn't know. I just thought that..."

He sneered. "Did you think I was dragging this on purpose to avoid divorcing you?"

Vicky did not say a word, but she could not help wondering if Tyler was lying to her. After all, it seemed unlikely that Tyler could not tell what she was thinking.

He grabbed the document on his desk and asked, "Have you brought all your documents?"

She glanced at the bag in her hand and said, "Yeah."

"I'll see you in front of the Civil Administration office at two in the afternoon."

At noon, Vicky sat in a restaurant for lunch near the Civil Administration office.

Though Tyler had agreed to come, Vicky was uncertain if he would fulfill his promise as something else might come up to stop him from doing so again.

After lunch, she headed out of the restaurant and was about to head to the same cafe as she waited for Tyler.

The cafe was not far from the restaurant and was only a few minutes away on foot.

She stood by the road and waited for the traffic light to turn green.

Occupied by her thoughts, however, she did not notice an approaching motorcycle, and when the light turned green, she started to cross the road only to have her bag snatched from her hands.

Before she could register what had happened, the thief got her bag, and she immediately shouted, "Help! A t—"

She choked on the word 'thief' as the man had already zipped away on his motorcycle.
