Chapter 135
Tyler merely glanced at Mariaâs gift and made no moves to accept it. âOkay. II
Maria was undeterred as she opened the gift before him. âTyler, I saw this necktie at the mall and
thought it was perfect for you. Why donât you put it on and see if it suits you?â
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.
âIâm sorry, Miss Sparks, but he doesnât like your gift.â
Maria acted as though she had just noticed Vicky and said, âMiss Shaw, Tyler didnât even say that he
doesnât like it. I donât think itâs appropriate for you to make the call without asking him what he thinks
about the gift, is it now?â

the only one who called her âMiss Shawâ.

Maria glared daggers at Vicky as they walked away and hissed, âLetâs see how long that smile on your
face will last, Vicky Shaw!â
After running into Maria, who was dressed in bright red, Vicky and Tyler ran into Sheila in a white gown.
Sheila was a smart woman and did not do anything out of line apart from greeting the two and handing
Tyler his gift, before leaving.
Countless powerful figures and wealthy businessmen came to talk to Tyler halfway through the party,
and Vicky took it as her cue to give him space.
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.
