Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1474

Back then, Chris was on the phone then, so Vicky did not expect him to witness the whole thing.

Vicky’s gaze fell on the piano. “You know how to play the piano, too?”

Instead of answering her question, Chris simply asked, “How have you been all these years, Vicky?”

“Not bad. You?”

Chris ignored her question again. “Is he good to you?”

Even though he used to work as her assistant, they did not know each other long enough to have a close relationship. Thus, his question was presumptuous, to say the least.

After a few seconds of silence, Vicky nodded.

“Good.” Chris looked at her. “But if he is good to you, why don’t you look happy? Why do you spend your nights drinking in bars instead of going home?”

Vicky frowned, thinking Chris had no right to ask her those questions. She was about to tell him didn’t mean to leave without saying goodbye back then, but your husband left me with no choice.”

Vicky was first stunned by the revelation, but she quickly understood. “Tyler went to look for you, didn’t he?”

Chris looked outside the window at the night sky. “Yes. He gave me two options. One, I could stay in the studio but watch my mother die. Two, I could leave the studio and he’ll give me a large sum of money.”

When Vicky first met Chris, he looked really down in the dumps. It did not take much to figure out that something bad must have happened in his family. Since the vibe he gave out was not that of a scammer but an honest person who just happened to be troubled, Vicky readily agreed to help him out.

“What happened to your mother?” asked Vicky hesitantly.

“My mother was seriously ill, and we needed a large sum of money every month to pay for her surgery,” Chris smiled self- deprecatingly. “The situation was made worse by me crossing the wrong people. And that was why I asked for advance payment of the salary when you hired me. In fact, I applied to a lot of jobs before I met you.”
