Loving You In Secret

Chapter 243

“Five?” “Yeah.” Sheila kept her eyes trained on Vicky. “Tyler has been busy and just returned to Arrowtown yesterday. He’s out most of the time and rarely sleeps. That’s why I advised you to let him rest.”

Sheila was clearly acting as though she was Tyler’s wife, which amused Vicky, but she did not intend on commenting on Sheila’s attitude.

“Alright,” she said before turning to leave.

In the following days, Vicky had not been able to see Tyler.

He seemed to be extremely busy and rarely returned to his hotel room, and despite standing outside his door for three days in a row, she had not seen Tyler anywhere.

She tried calling Tyler.

He would answer occasionally, and hang up at other times. Even when she managed to get a hold of him, he would soon be called away for meetings and had to hang up again.

The clouds gathered and Vicky stood in front of the window, staring at the traffic outside on the road with a heavy heart.

She made another phone call, and after half a minute, Jules answered with a weak voice.

“Vicky, how are things going?”

Vicky lowered her voice. “I haven’t caught Tyler.”

After a few moments of silence, Jules said, “The production crew has decided to replace Charlie.”

Vicky’s fingers twitched. “So…soon?’

Jules sighed. “It’s been two weeks since what happened, and the production crew had waited long enough. Charlie’s scandal remains to be the topic of discussion, and the crew cannot proceed with production if they don’t replace him.”

If the crew began filming with Charlie as one of their actors, it would be like they were publicly announcing their approval of his immoral behavior. Hence, if they wanted the production to proceed smoothly, they would have to steer clear of Charlie unless he could prove his innocence.

Meanwhile, the public opinion had been so one-sided that though Charlie was still pending for court, everyone was sure he was guilty.

The production crew had only remained quiet for the past two weeks because they wanted to give Charlie the time to resolve the problem, but they could not wait forever as each day they delayed the progress cost them a small fortune.

Vicky understood why they had chosen to give up and took a deep breath.” Jules, can the agency do anything about this?”

Jules chuckled bitterly. “Even if he is the best actor in show business, no one will dare to side with him when it’s Mister Hart who has it out for him.” This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Jules had explained the situation to the agency shortly after Charlie’s incident and swore that Charlie was innocent. However, in a few days’ time, the higher management of the agency informed her that Charlie had crossed someone who was so powerful that no one could help.

Jules pleaded relentlessly for an explanation, and the agency eventually told her that Charlie had crossed Tyler.

In Zendonia, crossing Tyler Hart was just as bad as a death sentence.

Vicky came to a realization.

Charlie had not crossed paths with Tyler at all in the past, and the only reason that he might have enraged Tyler could only be her.

“Charlie might not be the brightest star among the idols and actors I’ve been responsible for so far, but he’s the most righteous and hard-working one,” Jules continued pitifully. “His career is over now, but I hope that…his life won’t be ruined as well. I don’t want him to spend the best part of his life in prison.”

Later at night, Vicky leaned on against the wall and fell asleep.

Beep!

The sound of a key card activating the door echoed in the air and she opened her eyes, spotting a tall, slender figure before her.

Realizing that Tyler was back, her body acted before she could think, and she stood up from the ground. However, she had been sitting on the ground for far too long and her legs were numb, so she fell straight into his arms.
