Chapter 1001

Aurora pretended to be shocked to see the two. ’Oh, my, Miss Shaw. Did you not get anything?"

Elijah had a dark expression after being bullied throughout the auction and said, ’Vicky, let's go."

Vicky did not want to waste any time on Aurora and ignored her completely. "Sure. Let's go."

Aurora's face flushed in anger when Vicky ignored her. Meanwhile, Tyler watched the two leave with a dark look in

his eyes.

Vicky sat in the passenger seat, quietly gazing at the moonlight outside the window.

Before long, Elijah finished his call and returned to the car.

Vicky noticed that he seemed different from his usual self and asked casually, "What's wrong? Did something

happen?"

"It's nothing. Just some tricky business matters at the company," Elijah replied, unwilling to share more details. So,

Vicky did not press further.

Elijah started the car and drove Vicky back home. After the car was parked in front of the house, Vicky moved to

get out and leave when Elijah suddenly called out to her, "Vicky."

She paused and asked, "What is it?"

Elijah's face had a conflicted expression as he struggled to find the right words. "There's something... I'm not sure if

I should tell you..."

Vicky had grown fond of Elijah's family, and her impression of Elijah was quite good, so she encouraged him to

speak up. "It's okay, you can tell me."

Elijah's gaze wavered as he spoke up, "Well... Although we're pretending to be engaged, you know that the outside

world thinks it's real. You know how often the media pays attention to me. As my fiancee, you're likely to attract

media attention too. You've experienced how the media exaggerates things, so..." he trailed off. He then looked at

Vicky and asked, "Can you please keep your distance from other men while we are still pretending to be engaged?"

Vicky quickly understood. "You mean... Noah, my senior back in school?" She smiled and continued, "Don't worry.

Noah and I are just ordinary friends. He has a crush on Jennifer from our studio and has been pursuing her

recently."

Elijah let out a sigh of relief but insisted, "I did not misunderstand your relationship with Noah, but the media loves

to create speculation. Otherwise, my ex-fiancee wouldn't have broken up with me.'

The mention of Elijah's failed engagement stirred a sense of guilt in Vicky's heart. She nodded and replied, "I

understand what you mean. Don't worry. I won't get too close to other men during our partnership."

"That's great."

As Vicky was about to get out of the car and close the door, she remembered that she had not bought a gift for

Elijah's grandmother yet. "Elijah, are you free tomorrow?"

Elijah paused for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Let's pick a gift for Grandma together tomorrow. Isn't her birthday coming up?"

Seeing Elijah hesitating as if he was contemplating something, Vicky could not help but ask, "What's wrong? Do you

have something to do tomorrow?"

Snapping out of his daze, Elijah replied, "No, I don’t have anything tomorrow. What time should I come to pick you

up? It

"Ten in the morning," Vicky answered.

"Alright.’

With the time set, the two bid each other farewell.

The next day, Vicky came downstairs in a timely manner. Just as she pulled open the passenger side door, she

heard Elijah shout abruptly, "Don't sit there!"

Vicky was startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Realizing that his emotions were getting the better of him, Elijah quickly lowered his voice. "Uhm... Vicky, can you sit

in the back?"

Vicky looked at Elijah in confusion. "Huh? Is the seat broken?

She had always sat in the passenger seat before and was confused as to why was it suddenly an issue.
