Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Vicky chose not to act recklessly and instead left hand-in-hand with Tyler.
The onlookers could not help but discuss in hushed voices. "What a perfect couple they are. It would be a pity if they broke up."
"Well, young couples argue and quarrel. Isn't that normal for the youth? Who hasn't gone through that stage anyways?"
"From the way they look at each other, it's clear they can't stand to part from each other... I have a knack for judging people. Trust me."
Once out of sight from the crowd, Vicky coldly let go of Tyler's hand. "I have something else to do. I'm leaving."
Tyler grabbed her back tightly. "Join me for a meal first. I'll take you back later."
"Not a chance." Vicky's tone was icy. "And I can get back home on my own. Please, let go of my hand. Now."
"And if I don't? Are you planning to call for more help?"
Vicky's expression stiffened. This man was too cunning. She had intended to teach him a lesson, but she did not expect him to turn the tables on her.
"Tyler, do you really think I have no other way to deal with you?"
"I'm sure you have many ways to deal with me over trivial matters like this," he said calmly.
"Since you are aware of that, when are you going to let me go?"
Vicky thought Tyler would continue to pester her. To her surprise, Tyler actually released her hand.
Vicky was momentarily stunned, but she quickly regained her senses and took a few steps back, creating a safe distance between them while watching him warily.
Tyler's lips curled slightly, as if he found Vicky's actions amusing. "Vicky, are you turning a blind eye to the obvious?"
