Loving You In Secret (Vicky and Tyler) novel Chapter 681

Vicky nodded. "How did you know?"

"You love spicy food, and I've never seen you ask for them to exclude parsley specifically... This takeaway is obviously not for you." Conflicted emotions filled Alex's eyes. "You'd always be on your phone whenever it's lunchtime for the past two days, asking the doctor if your friend is eating properly, or asking your friend what he feels like eating."

Unable to suppress it any longer, Alex finally asked the question on his mind for the past two days. "Vicky, this friend of yours is a man that you're quite close with, right?"

Alex had never been a perceptive man, and the fact that he was asking about it showed just how obvious Vicky's behavior was.

"I told you that this friend of mine helped me out a lot, and the money he gave me surpasses market value for the service I provide, so I can't just leave him there to rot... Besides, he doesn’t know how to take care of himself, and if I don't keep a close eye on him, he might get sick again, so I have to pay attention."

She paused and added, "The sooner he gets better, the sooner I can get back to my part-time jobs."

Alex did not say anything and simply studied Vicky oddly.

Vicky felt chills from the way Alex looked at her and asked, "Alex, why are you looking at me like that?"

The emotions in his eyes deepened. "Vicky, all I asked was one simple question, so why are you telling me all that?"

Vicky was rendered speechless.

Alex sighed with resignation. "Alright, just go. You don't have to keep me company tomorrow."

"Are you mad at me, Alex?"

He shook his head. "I know that you're a soft-hearted person, so I won't be mad at you. I just think if you're so worried about that person, you won't be able to have fun even if you're here with me. There are priorities to things, and we can hang out whenever we want. I'll come by again when you're free."

Vicky was touched by his thoughtfulness. "Thank you, Alex."

"Friends don't have to thank each other," replied Alex casually.
