She looked at Edward, then Vivian, without any sign of discomfort in her eyes. Finally, she drew her attention back at Edward as she waited for his answer slightly nervously.Edward nodded lightly. “I am.”A sweet smile blossomed on the girl’s face. “Hello, Mr. Levin! I’m an admirer who started really, really adoring you after listening to your speech about innovating capital. Could you please, please give me an autograph?”He was a little startled by her request. Thanks to his standing and his
Though a somewhat palatable floral design adorned the edge of the sticky note, it was still a stretch to call it adorable. Honestly, it was something Vivian had taken with her person so frequently that it was the first replacement she could come up with upon realizing she was underprepared to pass Seth her address.For some reason, Vivian had a nagging feeling that the girl before her was at least a bit…off. It was a feeling that had stuck since their first encounter.Regardless, Vivian snatched
Contrary to his usual temperament, Edward reacted with patient approval. He produced a business card from his pocket and handed it to her. “Send it to this number.”Elated, she received the card with both hands before turning to Vivian, who promptly rejected the question before she could ask, “I don’t need it. Thank you.”The girl seemed quite startled by her response but said nothing more than lightly shrugging her shoulders.“Alright! Sorry for taking up so much of your time. I’m very grateful
The foolishness of dishing out a barbed insult struck Vivian. The only good a sarcastic remark like this could do was raise his ire.She should be calmer, more rational. If it were true that Edward had grown addicted to her body, she should capitalize on his weakness and use it to her advantage rather than hold it as a weapon in a useless verbal duel.Vivian squeezed her mouth shut, letting silence take hold.The two were back to the same dead-like stasis as before the young girl’s interruption.
Liam laughed. “Wouldn’t hurt to try before making that conclusion, would it?”Her anxiety soared. “No, no! Just no! What would people think if we pulled something like that off?!” she insisted, “Seriously, Liam, stop joking with me like this, or…or I’m going to be very crossed!”“Okay, okay. I won’t book a room there then. I’ll just pay you a visit. Surely that’s acceptable, isn’t it?” Liam relented before coming up with a new offer. “But I’m driving in your direction, Viv. Go and inform one of
However, the only thing she did was cry until he almost grew impatient. She sobbed, “I’m fine. I’m just scared of you abandoning me.”He was stunned for a moment. Then, he felt like he was at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry at once. He felt exasperated by her teary-eyed look, yet he pitied her. He could not refrain from sending a heavy slap on her buttocks and saying in rage, “What have you been thinking about all day in that little mind of yours?”She could not answer the question, so sh
“Oh, noted. Thanks for informing me.” She smiled at her colleague courteously and turned back to walk into the hotel lobby. She assumed that the person looking for her was Edward or Wade. However, she did not expect that the person looking for her was the young girl who had requested for Edward’s autograph previously. Vivian took a glance at her. Her hands were still packing the items at the service desk while her lips spoke, “I know who you are. Leave your phone number with me and I’ll contac
He did not reply but he hung up on the call instead. Vivian Carraway felt puzzled, yet she could not bring herself to call him and inquire more. She returned to her room in silence. Her colleague was just preparing to take a shower. Noticing Vivian’s return, she smiled and asked, “Miss Carraway, would you like to use the bathroom? I’m just about to take a shower. I’m all sweaty after bustling about the whole day.”Vivian forced a smile and answered, “It’s okay. Please go ahead.”The colleagu
