Vicky went in through the door and saw Tyler reading on his bed.
The remnants of the sunset spilled through the pristine window and caressed the chiseled contours of the man's handsome face, casting a rosy glow over his features like a serene and graceful painting.
Vicky was an art student, so the beautiful sight before her captured her eyes and she could not bring herself to look away.
Tyler heard her entering the room but did not lift his head.
Puzzled by the absence of footsteps and chattering, he glanced up and met the woman's starry-eyed gaze.
"Why are you back so early today?" he asked expressionlessly.
Vicky immediately snapped out of it and looked away sheepishly. "I brought you dinner." She took out the packed food. "You once said that you like the food from this restaurant, right? I brought you some of their dishes... Oh, I made them pack the spaghetti and sauce separately."
Tyler's germaphobia affected his life greatly, and he disliked the idea of mixing the sauce with any food that he was consuming, so Vicky made sure not to trigger that.
Tyler glanced at the bag, and the look on his face darkened as he thought of something. "I don't want it."
"But you said—"
He interrupted her impatiently, "Take it away."
Vicky could sense that Tyler had been in a bad mood in the past two days and frowned. "Mister Hart, what is wrong with you lately? Is something bothering you?"
Tyler had been having extreme mood swings in the past two days and would be sarcastic on occasion.
