"Say that again," Tyler said.
Tyler's behavior creeped the hell out of Vicky. Her pupils dilated, and her mind was much clearer than before.
She tried to divert the topic with a much softer tone. "I had my dinner. Why don't you go and eat now?"
"Then, are you going to come down?" Tyler asked.
She avoided looking at him. "No. I haven't finished my sketches yet."
"Okay."
Puzzled as to why Tyler was being so nice, her confusion cleared up when she realized she was hoisted up in the air, and her body became tense. "I told you I've eaten!"
"Since you've eaten, it means there's nothing urgent to do anymore." He impishly whispered into her ear, "That means we have a lot of time."
It was just impossible for Vicky to ignore such an ambiguous hint, and she finally exploded. "You're doing this on purpose!"
His exquisite face looked stone-cold, and so was his tone. "If you know that, why are you still trying to go against my wishes? Do you actually want me to treat you like this?"
"You're unbelievable!"
The apathetic-sounding, clear voice rang next to her ear, "Vicky Shaw, you better behave and not make me angry. Otherwise…I'm not sure what I'll do either."
He glared at her pointedly. Her face was reflected in his blue eyes as he looked at her with total concentration—one with a foreboding glint as well.
She got the chills and shuddered.
He looked at her pale face with satisfaction, especially after she stopped struggling. His hand reached for her face after he placed her on the bed. "Good girl."
