CHAPTER 135

Tyler merely glanced at Maria’s gift and made no moves to accept it. “Okay. II

Maria was undeterred as she opened the gift before him. “Tyler, I saw this necktie at the mall and thought it was perfect for you. Why don’t you put it on and see if it suits you?”

Once she had the necktie in her hand, Maria walked toward Tyler to put it on for him but was stopped by a slim figure before she could approach him.

“I’m sorry, Miss Sparks, but he doesn’t like your gift.”

Maria acted as though she had just noticed Vicky and said, “Miss Shaw, Tyler didn’t even say that he doesn’t like it. I don’t think it’s appropriate for you to make the call without asking him what he thinks about the gift, is it now?”

As soon as she left his side, other ladies and mistresses came to talk to her, and it took her a long time to speak with each of them.

When it was all finally over, she went to rest when she spotted a figure in the comer of her eye.

Vicky stilled and turned to walk toward the figure.
