CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 47: Avoidance
For several consecutive days, Vivienne hadn't been going to work at the club. When the manager asked her for the reason, she simply claimed to be feeling unwell. However, the real reason was to avoid Asher. Going to the club meant there was a high chance of running into him, and she had no idea how to face him now."Why haven't you been working these past few days? Did you quit your job?" Julian asked curiously in their dorm room."Not yet," Vivienne replied. "I just wanted a few days off, so I requested time off.""Rare indeed," Julian muttered, leaning closer to Vivienne. He noticed she was engrossed in something on her computer screen. "What are you reading so attentively? You seemed really focused just now.""It's nothing," Vivienne said, but Julian had already seen the contents on the computer screen."Autism? Vivi, why are you looking at that?" Julian asked, puzzled. The screen was filled with posts and articles about autism."I stumbled upon a discussion about it on a forum, so

The marble wall felt cold against Vivienne's back, the chill seeping through her thin shirt. She took a deep breath, looking at the person in front of her. He was standing close, his eyes fixed on her without blinking, his nose almost touching hers. His breath lingered on her face. Their silhouettes were imprinted in each other's pupils."Vivi, stop avoiding me!" Asher murmured in a hoarse voice."I'm not avoiding you," she replied, even though her hands pressed against his chest, unable to push him away."If you're not avoiding me, then why did you run away every time you saw me? Why didn't you answer my calls, and why haven't you been working at the club these past few days?" His series of questions left her speechless.His eyes bore into her, mesmerizing and clear. She dared not meet his gaze, afraid he would see her panic and guilt. Everything he said was true. She had been avoiding him.He pursed his lips, his breath becoming more rapid. He pressed closer, his voice cold. "Why wo

His dark eyes stared at her intently, as if scrutinizing the truth behind her words. After a moment, he finally let go of her hand. She quickly withdrew her fingers from between his and sat down on a chair beside the coffee table.Asher sat across from Vivienne, and the waiter handed them the menu. After ordering two cups of coffee, the waiter left. Vivienne looked at Asher's expressionless face and asked, "How did you know I was in that building?"Recalling that she saw him as soon as she left the building, and judging by his appearance, it was evident that he wasn't there by chance but intentionally waiting for her.With his thin lips slightly pursed, he remained silent.Vivienne didn't press him further; she just looked at Asher. It was apparent that he had lost some weight and his complexion was pale. His bangs covered most of his forehead, and she suddenly wondered how his wounds had been these past few days, if they had improved.The two of them silently locked eyes, neither of

The coffee cup came to a halt in front of Vivienne. She could almost feel the entire world freezing in time at that moment."You want to be my boyfriend?" she repeated, her voice filled with disbelief.The words he had just spoken replayed in her mind like an automatic rewind, echoing in her ears. He wanted to be her boyfriend. This time, there was no pleading tone in his voice; instead, it was firm and didn't allow any room for refusal.His gaze fell on her hand, and he quickly grabbed a tissue from the table. He took hold of her hand and carefully wiped away the coffee from her hand. Though the coffee wasn't too hot, her hand still had a faint red mark.Asher lowered his head and pressed his lips against Vivienne's hand, gently kissing every slightly burned spot. It was as if he were performing an incredibly important task, his expression focused and serious, even carrying a sense of reverence.Vivienne, too shocked to react, simply watched him. She watched as his lips left her hand
CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 51: Prelude to a Date
In an instant, she had a feeling of deja vu, as if she saw him from her childhood, tightly holding her hand and saying, "Vivi, you can't leave me!" Dating? Was she really going to date someone like him? She suddenly felt like walking on a tightrope, with a possible abyss below and a foggy path ahead. Whether she moved forward or backward, it was all unknown."I'll pick you up tomorrow," his voice interrupted her reverie."Pick me up?" she looked at him in confusion."For a date," he casually uttered the words.Vivienne was a bit dumbfounded. She and Asher had spent a considerable amount of time together since childhood, but they had never officially gone on a date."So, because we're dating, you want to go on a date with me?" Vivienne asked after pondering for a moment."Yes," he said with a sense of entitlement.She was momentarily speechless.Back in her dorm room, Vivienne collapsed onto her bed, feeling as if she had drained all her energy in just a few hours. She was exhausted."

It was Asher! She thought he would come to pick her up at the school gate, but she didn't expect him to come directly to the dormitory building to wait for her!Asher tilted his chin up and stared straight at Vivienne. Perhaps he had been looking at her for too long, as Julian couldn't help but ask Vivienne, "Vivienne, do you know him?""Yeah," Vivienne replied. She hurried back into the room from the balcony, quickly tidied up her hair and changed clothes, then greeted Julian before rushing downstairs."Why are you waiting for me here?" she ran up to him and asked."Is it not allowed?" he countered, putting away his phone and raising his hand to smooth her slightly disheveled hair from running.The girls who had been watching downstairs started whispering even more after seeing this scene. Vivienne glanced around and noticed that many of the girls were from her dormitory building."It's not that. Where's your car? It was parked at the school gate?" she asked."Yeah," he nodded slight

She was taken aback. If it were an ordinary person, they might engage in other activities when unable to sleep, but for him, daydreaming was actually the most normal thing to do.Vivienne lowered her head and continued eating, and Asher remained silent.By the time they finished eating and arrived at the entrance of the aquarium, it was already late morning. It was Saturday, and normally at this time, the aquarium would have had quite a few visitors.However, when Vivienne entered the aquarium, she realized that apart from the staff, there was not a single customer in the entire place. Moreover, the staff members treated Asher with utmost respect.The entire aquarium was filled with various aquatic creatures, from the ceilings to the glass walls and even the glass floors. But Vivienne had no interest in appreciating them at the moment."Did you rent the entire place?" Vivienne looked at Asher beside her, and it seemed like the only explanation for this."Yes," he nodded."Why did you

They had their lunch in the restaurant of the aquarium. The spacious dining area was empty, with only the two of them present.Vivienne had no idea how much Asher had spent to reserve the entire aquarium, but she could only imagine that only he would spend a large sum of money for such an ordinary date.Though there were few magazine reports about Asher, Vivienne still knew some things about him. She knew that he had taken over the Montgo family's chain of hotels and was considered a genius in the financial world.Of course, this referred not only to his ability to manage hotels but also to his precise insight in the futures and stock market. For him, money was like a numerical game in finance."What are you thinking about?" Asher's voice interrupted Vivienne's contemplation."Do you enjoy your work?" she asked, genuinely curious now."I don't feel anything," he replied.She clearly didn't understand, so he further explained, "Do you like 1+1?""What do you mean?" she became more conf
