Loving You In Secret

Chapter 5

The hallway was quiet and vacant where both Vicky and Tyler walked, with Vicky walking ahead. 

The floor was covered with carpet, so there was no sound even when Vicky’s heels clicked against the floor. Nonetheless, her brow was scrunched tightly, and she looked uneasy. 

As the tall man followed behind her, she could not fail to ignore the glaring look that fell onto her body, and this stressed her beyond relief. 

She abruptly stopped walking and turned toward him, coincidentally looking into his deep, dark eyes in the process. 

She raised her eyebrows. “Mister Hart, do you enjoy what you see?” 

Tyler was not embarrassed about being caught staring at Vicky red-handed. His gaze did not shift to another place or wavered out of shyness; his eyes were as haughty as before and calm as always. 

Majestic and elegant, as he was born with.

Tyler said calmly, “Missus Hart had worn such grotesque attire. Aren’t you trying to attract attention?” 

Grotesque? She looked at the evening gown she was wearing. The claret evening gown suggested elegance and grace. The strapless design revealed her charming collarbone and slender neck. It also exhibited her curvy, slim figure.
