Chapter: Chapter 25Helen's pov.Seeing him hold her like that makes my blood boil and I grit hard on my teeth. Why is he suddenly protective of her, I thought, and tilted my head to see the man who had made Collins react that way. I inhaled sharply and blew out air with my mouth. He is so cool, something in me beamed excitedly but j waved it away. He's no match for my Collins, I responded inwardly and pouted. Who is he anyway, and where did Vivian know him from? I wondered and saw Collins leaping to his feet, clutching Vivian's hand closely. "Thanks for the dinner" he said and bowed slightly. What's he trying to do? He was trying to walk away in front of the clients? I thought in disbelief and gazed at him. "I appreciate the kind gesture and the present too. I look forward to repaying your kindness. Something urgent came up so we'll take our leave now. Thank you". He said, not looking at me.I scoffed, crazy jerk! I swore at him silently and tightened my fist. I really can't believe he's getting work

Chapter: Chapter 24Vivian's pov"That was a great meal. Thank you so much for the invitation, we're really grateful, and we promise to continue to offer the best service," Collins said, and smiled. I couldn't take my gaze off him no matter how hard I tried. How on earth can a man be so handsome and, on top of that, the handsome man is the most annoying man I've ever met. I took a slow breath and pretended to laugh along with the rest.The woman brought out a wrapped object and handed it over to Collins. She smiled at him and said "This is a present from us, please accept it. It's our way of congratulating you on winning the contract"I smiled as Collins' face lit, and his face turned into another smile, his dimples forming perfectly. "Thank you so much, we really appreciate this" he said and jerked at Helen. She smiled too and added "Yeah, we're really honored. Thank you. We anticipate another time with you""Yeah sure, more wins" the man said and raised his glass for a toast. Our glasses clicked, and

Chapter: Chapter 23Chapter Twenty threeVivian's pov.Collins bowed slightly as we got to the table and said "I'm sorry I got late, it was due to circumstances. I truly hope you understand", I scoffed and wanted to punch him in his face. Was I the circumstance? Rude jerk, I said inwardly, and frowned a little. I was still in this state when he added "Allow me to introduce my fiancée to you. Her name is Vivian" and pulled me close.I coughed and suddenly felt a dryness in my throat. "Sorry miss" the man at the table said and added "would you like some water," I nodded and muttered thank you as I gulped the water down my throat. "Such a beautiful woman you've got" the woman complimented, and I almost choked on my water. Collins cast me a glance that seemed to say "comport yourself, you fool."I looked away and muttered "thank you sir""You're welcome" he replied and flashed a smile. "So we were about to place our orders before you came in, now that you're here, shall we do it together?" He said in a wa

Chapter: Chapter 22Collins pov.I tightened my fists on the wheel as I drove out angrily. I had expected to see Vivian in a sexy dress, just like Anne would have done, but she had stood there looking like an old maid. What the hell was that? I thought as I drove with no place in mind. All I care about right now is to get her an outfit that will match the occasion. She could go to hell after that, I thought, and glanced at her from the rear mirror. Our gazes met and I quickly averted mine. I sighted a boutique in front and pulled up, stepping out immediately. I checked my time, it was 6:40 already, and I have to meet the client by 7. How on earth am I supposed to get to the hotel before 7pm? I fumed as I roughly pulled Vivian out of the car. I grabbed her roughly and dragged her behind me, ignoring the stares as we entered the boutique."Good evening, how may I help you" a young lady asked, smiling at me. I hated the smile and frowned. "I need to get a dress for her" I said and heard Vivian scoff at me.

Chapter: Chapter 21Vivian's pov."Ta da!" Cynthia exclaimed excitedly, walking me to the mirror. I stood in front of it and admired myself. The flared purple gown fitted me perfectly, and I nodded my head in approval. Cynthia had done justice to my face, and now I looked like a new bride with my stunning makeup. "Trust me Vivian, your man won't be able to take his eyes off you" she replied, sitting on the bed. I smiled and replied "My man? That sounds awkward, Cynthia. I'd rather you call him by his name", I said, winking at her.She rolled her eyes and chipped "Oh, whatever. I'm only jealous right now that you have to be with him while I stay here all by myself"I smiled and replied "It's not a problem dear. I definitely will abandon him and run back home if his nasty attitude pops up at dinner tonight". She gave me a knowing look and smiled. "How about you go to Lucy's place till I return" I suggested, reaching for the black bag Cynthia had selected for me. She laughed and I wondered what was funny

Chapter: Chapter 20Vivian's povI came into the sitting-rooom, carrying plates and cups. "This is what you've refused to do, I'm done in a blink of an eye" I said, setting the table. I wiped my hands over the apron as I reached out for the plates. Helen hurriedly came to my side and had a sip from her teacup before rushing out. "Where are you off to? You haven't had your meal" I called after her.She hurriedly picked her bag and phone from the table and made for the door. "Sorry Vivian, I have to leave"I was startled. "What? Why? You just said you'd be having breakfast here". She paused at the door and said without turning "Something came up Vivian, can you be a little bit understanding? I'll see you later alright?" She added and stepped out hurriedly.Really? Is she joking? What could be so important that it can't wait till after breakfast? I wondered and poured myself some tea. I reached for the spoon and stirred gently. That was suddenly, I thought and blurted "she could have at least given me a re
