Just then, Vicky noticed something odd about the phone Tyler was holding.
She frowned when she realized that he was using a different phone instead of the usual one he owned. Throughout the time she had spent with Tyler, she never saw him using this phone, and it seemed obvious what could require a man to possess two phones at the same time.
Vicky quietly moved toward Tyler and stared at his phone.
Tyler finally noticed her presence when she was getting too close and snapped his head up abruptly to look at her.
The look in his eyes darkened when he saw her and he simply asked with a composed voice, "When did you come downstairs?"
"Just now." She kept her eyes on his phone. "Have you gotten a new phone?"
"No." The faint signs of shock had faded from his face. "It's for work."
"Work?" Vicky looked at him. "I've never seen you with this phone before."
"It's for the business trip to Drome. Sometimes, when I don't want others to know my number and can't turn them down on the spot, I'll exchange numbers with them with a different phone."
Tyler's explanation was reasonable, but Vicky did not buy it.
She had a feeling that the phone was specifically used to contact another woman who was not Sheila; Sheila always called Tyler with his regular number. Also, Tyler never felt the need to hide his relationship with Sheila in the past.
