"No," Vicky explained. "Jennifer ran into some trouble, so she isn't here yet."
Tyler's voice deepened. "Is that so?"
"Yeah. I'm not lying to you. Cece went to pick her up, and she just left."
Tyler turned his attention from Vicky to Sebastian. "Well, what's going on with him, then?"
Vicky glanced at Sebastian and muttered, "I don't know why Mister Mills is here either."
Noting Tyler's lack of response, Vicky stole a glimpse at him sheepishly. "Tyler..."
"I'm sorry." The tension in his voice eased, and so did his expression. "I shouldn't have taken this out on you."
"It's fine." She relaxed and did not blame Tyler for the way he reacted.
She once reached out to Sebastian, which ended with her being tricked by him, and in the end, she needed Tyler to clean up after the mess she made.
It was understandable that Tyler would resent Sebastian for it.
Tyler lowered his gaze to hide the ruthlessness hidden in his eyes. "Vicky, are you still going to dine here?"
"No... I was about to leave and go to another restaurant when you came."
Tyler pulled her closer and rubbed his lips against her ear seductively. "Alright."
Vicky observed his expression gingerly. "Are you here to...dine as well?"
"I was free and decided to come to keep you company," he said.
Their relationship had improved by miles in recent times, and they would call or text one another frequently.
When she was on a call with Tyler earlier that morning, Tyler had asked where they would be dining, and Vicky told him the name of the restaurant.
