Loving You In Secret

Chapter 1473

Cece touched her own face. “Was I that obvious?”

Jennifer glanced at the backstage entrance and asked,” Cece, why did you lie to Mister Tyler in the first place? He might be very possessive, but I’m sure he knows how to control himself when Vicky’s around.”

“I didn’t have a choice…” After a pause, she softly added, “I couldn’t tell you this when Vicky was here, but I think Mister Tyler might be the reason why Chris quit his job.”

“What makes you think that?”

“I met Mister Tyler a few times when Vicky and I started working together, so I knew who he was. One night, on my way home, I realized I forgot to take something from the studio, so I went back to get it. There, I saw Mister Tyler’s car parked nearby.

“At first, I thought he was waiting for Vicky, so I thought nothing of it. When I went upstairs, Vicky was nowhere to be seen whereas Chris’ computer was still switched on. I was in a rush to get back, so I didn’t really look into the matter.

“But two days later, Chris resigned. It was dark that night, so I wasn’t sure whether I read the car plate number correctly. But even if that car was Mister Tyler’s, I can’t say for sure he was there for Chris.”

Cece did not tell Vicky this story as she did not want to risk ruining other people’s relationships with something © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

unfounded.

Jennifer could understand why Cece did not tell Vicky, but what she could not understand was why to Tyler.” Even if that’s the case, I still don’t see why you had to lie to him.”

“Even though we only worked together for a month… I could tell Chris had a crush on Vicky. If Mister Tyler did find Chris that night, that meant he knew about the crush, too. What do you think would happen if Mister Tyler finds out Vicky is with Chris now?”

Only then did realization dawn on Jennifer.

Vicky followed the waiter backstage. The waiter pushed open one of the dressing room’s doors, and a familiar song immediately flowed into the hallway.

“He’s in there,” said the waiter.

Vicky was so enchanted by the song that she nearly forgot the waiter standing next to her. She walked into the room in a trance.

Inside the room was a piano next to the window sill, with Chris playing the piano. The beautiful music Chris was playing brought Vicky back to the past. It was not until the music stopped did Corinne snap out of her trance.

Chris gazed at her quietly. He looked older but happier than when she last saw him. In fact, the Chris sitting in front of her at that moment shone bright like a diamond.

“How did you learn this song?” asked Vicky, breaking the silence.

“Would you believe me if I tell you it’s merely a coincidence?”

“No.”

Chris smiled. “I happened to see the music sheet that afternoon when the little girl who you were giving pointers to begged you to let her see the music sheet.”

Vicky was shocked as Chris was talking about the time when Vicky went to take the measurements for the studio’s first customer. That day, the lady of the house had to step out of the house for a bit.

While waiting for her to come back, Vicky heard a piano being played coming from the other room. Not long after that, a little girl came walking into the room where she was in with a sullen expression while muttering to herself.

Seeing this, Vicky asked her what was wrong. After learning the little girl was having some problems with the piano piece she was playing, she gave her some pointers.

Afterward, the little girl dragged her to the piano to ask for a demonstration.

Vicky did not have the heart to turn the little girl down, not when the girl’s eyes twinkled pleadingly. Thus, Vicky decided to play her favorite song-First Love.
