    “Sure enough, it doesn’t feel so good,” remarked Tyler.

    Vicky walked over and frowned when she spotted the cigarette between his fingers. “Why are you


    smoking again?” She pouted and snatched the cigarette before putting it out. “You’ve just recovered.


    You can’t smoke and drink.”


    Tyler did not stop her and simply stared at her intently. “My secretary said that you came to the office


    looking for me yesterday.”


    Vicky’s gaze flickered as she answered, “Yeah. You weren’t there.”


    His gaze was steady as he asked, “Why didn’t you call?”


    “I didn’t want to get in the way of your work, so I didn’t call.” She looked away and continued, “Your


    secretary told me that you went out to sign a contract, so I left. I wanted to tell you about it when you


    came home, but you came homete and drunk, so…”


    Tyler pulled her toward himself.


    Caught off-guard, Vicky tumbled into his embrace. His sturdy arms securely wrapped around her


    slender waist, settling her onto hisp.


    Their faces were inches away, their expressions visible to one another.


    His pleasant voice resonated in her ear. “Did you have something you wish to discuss?”


    Vicky’sshes fluttered gently in the warm light as a hint of hesitation and inner conflict surfaced in her


    eyes. Finally, she took a deep breath and gathered her resolve.


    She lifted her gaze to meet his deep, enigmatic eyes. “Tyler, are you nning to acquire Johnson


    Corporation?”


    Tyler did not shy away from her gaze. “Yes.”


    Vicky’s expression darkened slightly. “Why? If it’s because of me, I can exin…”


    “It has nothing to do with you,” interrupted Tyler. He extended his hand, his distinct knuckles gently


    brushing against her hair. “The next business move for Hart Corporation is to acquire Johnson


    Corporation. It’s a decision made unanimously by thepany’s board members. It’s merely a normal


    business action.”


    Vicky narrowed her eyes. “But I’ve seen Hart Corporation’s acquisition proposal. This type of


    acquisition strategy.Js far from a normal business action. It’s a hostile takeover.” She looked into his


    tranquil eyes. “A high-priced acquisition followed by a low-priced resale is hardly the best way to


    perform an acquisition. Can it really be considered normal business action?”


    Tyler lifted his brow slightly as if her words struck a chord. However, he quickly reverted to his


    indifferent demeanor.” Harvey is a formidable opponent. If we want to acquire Johnson Corporation,


    conventional methods simply won’t work.”


    “Tyler, don’t assume I don’t understand the difference between acquisition and malicious suppression


    just because I’m not well-versed in business!” Vicky clenched her fist. “I wouldn’t say a thing if it were


    ordinary businesspetition, but why did you intercept Johnson’s contracts and orders? Isn’t this


    behavior a form of malicious suppression?”


    Tension rose in the air.


    After some time, Tyler replied, his voiceced with a halfsmile.
