Tyler's face flushed at the thought of the horrific scene that occurred. He felt so embarrassed that he just wanted to dig a hole and hide.

Just as Ariana was applying medication to his wound, his body squirmed a little from the pain.

"Don't move. I'm putting on the medicine. Your wound will be torn if you squirm too much," she scolded.

Tyler froze and sat still on the chair, allowing Ariana to dress his wound.

Ariana needed to wrap the gauze around his head. However, her coat's cuff was a bit wide. It would brush across Tyler's face every time she moved.

Tyler's heart throbbed involuntarily with every touch. The fragrance Ariana was wearing made him flustered.

He gulped and felt the need to say something to ease his nervousness. So he said in a muffled voice, "Thank you for your help."

Ariana kept her eyes on the gauze in her hand while she asked flatly, "About what?"

"My sister's video," Tyler replied while feeling embarrassed. He hesitated before adding, "I know you sent that to me. Thanks."

Ariana was irritated when his sister's matter was mentioned. Unconsciously, she pressed his wound while she was still bandaging it up.

Tyler hissed but quickly kept his mouth shut. He hurriedly found an excuse for his reaction.

"I'm okay. It doesn't hurt. I bit my tongue by accident."

Ariana felt even more irritated when Tyler was being cautious around her. However, she moved gentler than before.

She cleared her throat and said, "I don't know what video you're referring to. Stop spouting nonsense."

Tyler's anxiety grew and wanted to explain further. However, Ariana shot him a warning glance and he instantly realized that she did not want to be entangled in this matter. Perhaps that was why she had lied and claimed that she was an assistant.

Tyler didn't insist on carrying on the conversation after he figured out her intention.

He just said in a low voice, "Thank you anyway."

After some silence, Ariana pretended to ask casually, "How is your sister now? I heard that you sued Brielle but withdrew your charges. Why did you do that?”

She was slightly anxious about Tyler's answer when she asked, as his answer was a deciding factor in whether she should sign the contract with him or not.

Tyler went silent for such a long time that Ariana was about to lose her patience and wanted him to leave.
