Chapter 10: Meet Again
Last Updated:
2023-05-29 15:12:46Did this man truly love Scarlett? Vivienne suddenly wondered, but then she chuckled and thought, regardless of whether he did or not, it had nothing to do with her.
At the moment, she had her own problems to deal with, and they were giving her a headache.
Suddenly, someone spoke up, "By the way, I heard that the Four Seas Corporation is going to participate in our school's career fair. Is it true?"
Immediately, someone replied, "It should be true. I heard the dean mention it when I visited his office a few days ago."
"Isn't Four Seas Corporation's design company known for not hiring fresh graduates?"
"Who knows? Well, if you can get into Four Seas, you might become successful someday!"
People started discussing, and Vivienne specialized in interior decoration design, while Four Seas Corporation was a renowned real estate conglomerate in the city. They also had a dedicated interior design subsidiary and often collaborated with famous foreign enterprises. Therefore, every year, many designers would do anything to get in.
"Vivienne, let's go together to the campus career fair in a few days. Who knows, you might actually get hired by Four Seas Corporation," Julian suggested, nudging Vivienne's arm with enthusiasm.
"I'm not going," Vivienne replied.
"Why not?" Julian asked, confused.
"It doesn't feel right for me," Vivienne said casually.
That night, while working at the part-time club restaurant, as expected, some colleagues looked at her with strange eyes. It seemed that they had heard about what happened in the private room yesterday.
One female coworker approached her directly in the changing room and asked, "Vivienne, I heard that yesterday in the private room, a man beat another customer half to death because of you. Is that true?"
Vivienne sighed inwardly and maintained a calm expression on her face as she replied, "No, it's not true."
"Then who was the man who took you out of the store yesterday?" the coworker inquired curiously.
"He's an old friend," Vivienne answered.
"The person who can afford to come here for a meal must be quite wealthy. How come you never mentioned having such a friend before?"
Vivienne remained silent, and the coworker seemed to realize that Vivienne didn't want to answer, so she left, touching her nose.
After changing into her work uniform, as Vivienne stepped out of the changing room, Lily approached her.
"The customer who walked you out yesterday is waiting for you in private room number 7. The manager asked me to let you know," Lily said.
Vivienne was taken aback but also seemed somewhat expectant.
"Okay, I'll go over," Vivienne replied, about to walk away, but Lily pulled at her sleeve.
"Thank you for helping me yesterday. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened," Lily expressed her gratitude. When she was drenched in cold wine yesterday, she finally realized that pursuing wealthy individuals wasn't as glamorous as portrayed in TV dramas. After all, in this world, how many people would gain the favor of the rich just by accidentally spilling wine on them?
"It's nothing," Vivienne shook her head. Or perhaps she should say that if Asher hadn't been there by chance yesterday, her fate might have been even worse.
Thinking of Asher, her heart sank a little.
Vivienne lightly knocked on the door of private room number 7, then turned the doorknob and entered.
In the softly lit room, Asher was still the same as yesterday, dressed in all white, looking pristine and flawless like a perfect doll, capturing people's attention in a trance-like state.

Upon seeing her enter, a slight smile appeared on Asher's face, melting away his usual indifference. "Vivi," he called her name."Have you ordered?" Vivienne approached and asked.Asher stood up, extending his arms and naturally embraced Vivienne, but his response was unrelated to her question. "I missed you," he said, even more so than before.As she stood before him again, speaking to him, being held in his arms, the longing that had been suppressed for ten years soaked into her every fiber, as if all at once."I longed to see you, to press you beneath me, to kiss every inch of your body, and to hear you constantly call my name." Though incredibly ambiguous, his voice remained cool and composed, as if he merely expressed what he desired.Vivienne's body trembled slightly, wanting to create some distance between them, but Asher's arms tightened around her.His face buried in the crook of her shoulder, he greedily inhaled her scent, while his right hand slid under her clothes, the sli

But he was dead serious. "I'm not joking. I want to hold you, kiss you, be intimate with you. Only I can do these things to you, no one else. If my condition was like when I was a child, and you would only stay by my side then, I could...""No matter if your condition is like when you were a child or not, you cannot do those things to me!" Vivienne urgently interrupted Asher. "Those are things that only two people who love each other can do!""I love you, Vivienne." He took her right hand, kissed her fingertips, and gradually took her fingers into his mouth. If it meant sealing himself off from the entire world and having only her, just like when he was a child, he didn't mind becoming that way again.As he said these words, his gaze was clear as water.Yet his actions carried a hint of seductive sensuality.Two conflicting qualities blended strangely within him at this moment, giving him an enchanting allure.In her mind, images involuntarily surfaced from the day they made their agr

After placing their orders and the dishes arrived, Vivienne was about to leave the private room when Asher grabbed her hand and said, "Stay and eat with me.""I'm still working," Vivienne replied.He suddenly stood up and walked towards the door of the private room."Where are you going?" She had an inexplicable sense of unease."I'm going to help you quit this job so that it won't be considered your working hours," he replied.She immediately stood in front of him. "I didn't say I want to quit. Maybe this job means nothing to you, but for me, it's my only source of income."He took out his wallet from his pocket and handed her a gold card. "The password is your birthday."Vivienne stared at the gold card in Asher's hand. "Take the card back.""Will you have dinner with me if I do?" he asked.She hesitated for a moment, unable to answer.He lifted his foot and walked towards the door again. Eating dinner and quitting her job, he was forcing her to choose one.Seeing that he was alread

"Yes, I am worried about your illness," Vivienne honestly replied. After all, he had occupied most of her childhood and adolescence. If it weren't for his intense obsession with her, he would actually be "I hope you can live a healthy and normal life," she said sincerely. "Do you think I'm normal now?" His arm reached across the table, holding her hand. She was taken aback, not knowing how to answer for a moment. He continued, "You know, every day I think about you, about how we will reunite, about what expression you will have when you see me, and what you will say to me." These ten years have been long for him, far beyond what she could comprehend. The only thing that kept him going was the fact that she would belong to him. Once ten years passed, she would be completely his, and he always thought that way, and endured like this. Her hand was held tightly in his palm, burning and powerful. Although she knew she should withdraw her hand, his gaze, which seemed affectionate, war

"Did I hear that Four Seas Corporation is participating in the campus recruitment fair?" she casually changed the topic. "That's correct," Ezra replied. "But isn't Four Seas Corporation usually not involved in campus recruitment?" "Just usually, doesn't mean always." Scarlett hesitated for a moment and finally couldn't help but ask, "Will you be going to the university that day?" "Not necessarily." His gaze remained fixed on the ring in his hand, his fingertip gently rubbing it, as if caressing a beloved object. Or perhaps it should be said that this ring is his beloved object. He never allowed anyone to touch this ring, including her, except... "Can't you forget Vivienne?!" the words slipped out. Immediately after saying them, Scarlett regretted it. A coldness emanated from Ezra, his thin lips slightly pursed. He turned his head and looked at her, his gaze piercing, "So what if I can't forget her? And so what if I can?" That name was a taboo, buried deep within his heart for

She froze, not even realizing when his tongue pried open her clenched teeth. She simply stared with wide eyes at the magnified face in front of her.His kiss was uncontrolled, more like an instinct, a release, a demand. He devoured her lips as if wanting to consume them entirely, causing her pain. She thought of biting down hard like they do in TV dramas, biting his tongue until it bled, or slapping him hard.But in the end, she remained still, just watching his lips leave hers, watching him hold her and rub his face against her cheek, listening to him say, "Vivi, don't fall in love with anyone else."From that day on, she entered a cold war with him.No more talking to him, no more going to school together, and definitely no visits to his house. In short, she treated him as if he were invisible.Asher's temper became volatile, easily provoked by the slightest things. After a few days, even her mother tried to persuade her daughter to reconcile with Asher.But it was Asher's mother wh
Last Updated : 2023-05-29CEO He is Paranoid Chapter 17: Campus Recruitment
The campus recruitment event drew special attention this time due to the participation of Four Seas Corporation. However, they were only recruiting for positions in interior design, which led many students from other majors to complain. Many students in Vivienne's class were eager and meticulously preparing various application materials. On the day of the recruitment event, undergraduate and graduate students, and even some doctoral students, flocked to the campus. It was quite crowded, and Julian pulled Vivienne towards the Four Seas Corporation's booth. "Julian, I'll wait for you here," Vivienne said. "Well, even though the competition is fierce at Four Seas, it's better to give it a shot than not try at all," Julian mistakenly thought that his friend was worried about this and comforted her, "In anything you do, it's better to have tried and failed than to regret not having the courage to try. At least you won't regret it in the future." In an instant, Vivienne felt a moment of

"Okay, sure!" Julian glanced at Vivienne's pale face and decided not to press further. He simply said, "I'll grab lunch from the school cafeteria and bring it to our dorm later.""Thank you," Vivienne replied.Turning around, Vivienne headed towards the dormitory building. She hadn't expected to see Declan today. Seeing someone she was once familiar with, someone she had buried deep in her memories, resurfaced felt like slowly unraveling that forgotten chapter of her life.Due to the job fair, the area near the dormitory building was unusually quiet. Suddenly, Vivienne halted her steps. On the open space in front of the dormitory stood a tall figure, standing with elegance, right hand in the pocket, and left hand hanging by his side. Even his posture exuded grace.Unconsciously, Vivienne's gaze drifted towards his left hand. Long, slender fingers adorned with a silver ring on the middle finger.As if he noticed her gaze, those narrow, profound black eyes turned towards her direction,

After the baby was cleaned up, it was brought to the bedside, lying next to Viola.The little baby closed its eyes. Was this his and Viola's child? A rush of tenderness surged in Nelson's heart. Would the child resemble him or Viola? If possible, he hoped the child would resemble Viola more.Just as he was thinking about this, the baby suddenly moved, half-opening its eyes and then bursting into wailing cries. Viola, who had been sleeping, woke up because of the baby's crying."Bring the baby to me; she must be hungry, and I want to breastfeed her," Viola said.Only then did Nelson realize that she had woken up.

In that moment of holding the soft little body, he felt an indescribable sensation.Viola couldn't sit up at the moment, so she needed to lie down to breastfeed the baby. Nelson

The day before Viola's due date, she was admitted to the hospital and underwent various routine checks. On the following day, Viola remained calm and even flipped through magazines before entering the operating room.In contrast, Nelson was visibly more anxious and approached the doctors several times, asking about various possible emergency situations during childbirth, even though they had already explained them to him many times.When Viola was wheeled into the operating room, Nelson's whole body tensed up. He stood outside the room, staring at the closed door as if he were a statue.Anyone could see how nervous he was, and as time passed, Nelson's complexion grew paler.Viola was considered an older mother, and despite the best doctors that the Montgo family had arranged and even with a caesarean section, there were still risks.Sebastian noticed Nelson's anxious state and gently patted his shoulder.

"I..." Viola hadn't finished her sentence when Nelson's lips pressed against hers, stopping the words that were about to come out. His tongue swiftly entered her mouth, stirring her saliva, and he took her tongue into his mouth, biting it as if venting all his frustrations.Though her tongue wasn't bleeding, it hurt terribly, and her lips also throbbed with pain from the pressure of his lips. She tried to push him away, but his hands easily restrained her wrists."Mmm... Hmm..." Viola initially struggled, but she didn't dare to move too much, afraid of hurting the child in her belly. Giving up on resisting, she allowed Nelson to kiss her.He kissed her with his eyes closed, his long, thick eyelashes casting a heavy shadow on his eyelids. Meanwhile, she kept her eyes open, staring at his face that was now closer than ever before.He deepened the kiss, seeming to release pent-up emotions, indulging and losing himself in the sensation.When he finally ended the kiss, Viola knew she must

When Viola returned to the Montgo mansion, Sebastian looked at her with a look of disbelief as she stood there with a big belly. Before leaving, Viola had told her family that she was sent to work in another city by the hospital, and her family didn't suspect anything. They just advised her to take care of herself while outside."How many months pregnant are you?" Sebastian's voice sounded."Almost 8 months," Viola replied honestly."How is your health? You're a doctor yourself, so you should know the risks of having a child at this age," Sebastian worriedly asked. After the shock, his main concern now was his sister's well-being."I know, but there shouldn't be any major problems if it's a cesarean section," Viola said. For women like her who have never given birth before, a cesarean section would be more suitable than a natural birth."Why didn't you stay at home?" Sebastian asked."Because I wanted to clear my mind and quietly find a place to give birth," without getting entangled

Since the day they parted at the hospital, Nelson withdrew the surveillance around her, and he didn't want to know anything about her. Later, when he tried to find Viola, he couldn't locate her no matter how hard he tried. Until one day, Mort brought news about her. It turned out that Viola had gone to a remote village the next day and had been living there for several months.The car sped along the road. Viola, Viola! Nelson kept repeating her name in his heart. She was so close, only two hours away... no, an hour and a half, and he could see her!He had so many words he wanted to say to her. He wanted to tell her not to try to avoid him, that he could endure her disgust, her indifference, and even her love for her Dependence on Fate. But... he couldn't endure not seeing her!Ten years ago, when she disappeared from his world, even though he aged overnight, he could wait for her to come back.

Nelson suddenly laughed, his laughter was cold, each laugh feeling like a chilling cold wind blowing across his cheeks.After a moment, his laughter ceased, and he stared straight at her, his voice icy to the extreme, "No regrets! I, Nelson, believe that I can do anything for you, but there's one thing I can't do. Viola, it's not up to you to decide when it's over! It may be over for you, but for me, it's not over yet!""What do you want to do?" His gaze and tone made her feel uneasy."Viola, unless you die, I'll follow you to the end, no matter what!" He said each word deliberately, like a bolt of thunder striking her mind, shaking her heart.She was stunned, and her heart pounded wildly. Did she make a mistake? Did she make a mistake? "To the end"... he actually said such words. Perhaps she had pushed him to the brink for him to say such ruthless words. Or should she say that she had extinguished all of his hopes?Before she could speak, Nelson had already turned around and left the

In the obstetrics and gynecology operating room, he ran as if he had gone mad, his handsome face showing anxiety, unease, and panic.If those who knew Nelson were to see him in this state, they would undoubtedly be shocked. The composed and calm man would reveal such an expression!The light was on at the entrance of the operating room, but among the crowd waiting outside, he didn't see that familiar figure.Is she inside the operating room? His heart clenched tightly, feeling the intensifying unease.Nelson rushed toward the operating room, and the nurse at the door tried to stop him, "Sir, there's a surgery in progress, you can't just go in like this!""Get out of my way!" He coldly retorted, pushing the nurse aside. The fierce aura emanating from him made the nurse dumbfounded. Though he was undeniably handsome, he looked more like a ferocious demon at that moment.Nelson charged toward the operating room again, and this time, the other nurses and attendants reacted.

One month later, when Viola was at the hospital working, she suddenly felt nauseous and started vomiting. It was then that she realized she might be pregnant. She went to the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test kit. Looking at the two bars on the test kit, her body felt a chill.Is she pregnant? Although pregnancy test kits might not always be accurate, the chances of them being wrong were very low. And now, she had tested with more than one kit, and they all showed that she was pregnant.Viola was usually calm and composed, even when dealing with family matters that made her anxious and worried, she could still make quick judgments.
