Vicky did not pick up and soon after, Tyler sent her a text message.
[If you get back here now, I can pretend that this never happened.]
Vicky ignored his text and pretended it didn't exist.
She thought that Tyler would continue to call or text her to threaten her, but Tyler fell into absolute silence afterward.
A peaceful week went by before Vicky received a call from Aurora, who had not contacted Vicky for a while either.
"Vicky, have you gone home recently?"
"No," Vicky said.
"Oh. So you haven't been home either?"
Vicky keenly sensed the implications in Aurora's words. "Miss Starling, are you not with him?"
"Yeah, I went for an audition, remember? The director called me in the evening and said I got the part. I'm on set now." Aurora's tone was light and cheerful.
'If Aurora has been filming, then who is taking care of Tyler?' Vicky thought.
Aurora quickly answered Vicky's confusion, "Because of the filming, Tyler and I had a big fight. He hasn't answered my calls for a week. I'm not sure about his current situation or if he's still at your place. That's why I called you to check."
"I'm not sure about it either. We haven't been in contact recently."
"I see..." Aurora's tone carried some concern. "When I have some free time, I'll go back and check on him."
After hanging up, Vicky stared blankly at her phone, wondering if Tyler had actually left her house.
Just then, someone knocked on her door, and a servant's voice came from outside. "Ms. Shaw, dinner is ready. You can come downstairs now."
Vicky snapped out of her thoughts. "Okay, I'll be there right away."
