Jennifer’s eyes lit up. “Sure!”

The three proceeded to talk about work and cast aside any thoughts about men, relationships, and their troubles.

Two hours later, Vicky glanced at the time and realized that it was almost eight. There was not enough time for her to make it to the hotel.

She lowered her gaze thoughtfully before sending the masked man a text message.

[My friend has been discharged from the hospital, and we’re having dinner together. I might be late.]

A few minutes later, the man replied. [Alright.]

An idea formed in her head, and she typed, [Can I not come over tonight?]

This time, the man replied within a matter of seconds with just one word. [ No.]

Vicky was displeased at his authoritative tone. According to what the masked man said, they were not going to see each other for long, but he seemed to be more restrictive than Tyler.

Cece noticed that Vicky had been texting and giggled. “Vicky, are you talking to Mister Hart?”

Since Vicky returned from Forever Night, her relationship with Tyler had improved, and though Cece and Jennifer were clueless, they were happy for Vicky. Hence, when they saw Vicky texting someone, Cece immediately assumed that it was Tyler.

Vicky jolted and was barely holding onto the smile on her face. “It’s getting late. We should head back… I’ll pay the bill.”

Once the bill was paid, the three left the restaurant, and the two looked at Vicky.

“Vicky, let us send you home.”

“It’s fine. I’ll get home by myself.”

Seeing how Vicky seemed to have regained her composure, the two did not insist. Once they left, Vicky took a taxi to the Cloud-Nine Hotel.

As soon as she went into the hotel, her phone vibrated, and she realized that it was a message from a private investigator she had hired.

[Sebastian Mills left the party at seven last night and returned to Cloud- Nine Hotel to rest.]

[When did he check into the hotel?] Vicky typed.

[A week ago.] The investigator replied right away.

She paused as the timing seemed to match the masked man’s appearance, so she typed another message. [Is Sebastian in the hotel right now?]

[His car was parked inside the underground parking lot half an hour ago,] the investigator replied. [He has bodyguards and assistants following him, so I can’t get close. There is certain information that I struggle to obtain.]

No one managed to find the room number to which Sebastian checked in, and the investigator even lost sight of Sebastian before.

Vicky knew that it was challenging for private investigators to look into powerful figures like Sebastian, but she had no options as she did not have anyone else that she could trust.

After deleting the messages, she went into the room with the key card. As expected, the masked man was inside.

This time, he had not turned on any light and was watching television from the couch.

The screen lit and dimmed, and the demon mask on his face flashed under the lights. When he saw her, he asked, “What are you doing there? Come here.”

She walked over. “Why aren’t you asleep, sir?” “How can I when you haven’t come?” he teased.
