"So, what happened over the weekend?" questioned Xavier as he was really curious about what his cousin had been busy with. "Where were you?""At home," answered Vivienne naturally and then bit her tongue when she realized that she told the truth so readily. Now how was she supposed to make an excuse regarding why she didn't allow him to come over when she was at home?Xavier raised his brows at her in question.Vivienne put down the coffee cup and went to sit down closer to him. She hugged his arm and acted like a clingy spirit, "Brother, I had work to finish. Suddenly inspiration struck me and I couldn't extricate myself from the designs.""Oh," was the only response Xavier gave to her. He rubbed her head softly but made sure not to ruin her hairstyle. "You are not good at lying, sweetie. You should refrain from lying."Vivienne pursed her lips when she heard that and lowered her head. She rubbed her face against his arm and said, "Brother~""I told you to learn to be coquettish not
"Is he an old friend?" inquired Xavier. "Then I really have to meet him. I have to understand why my sister who is so critical and distrustful toward every human around her has such trust in this guy. You have always been the one with a suspicious personality. I need to see what is different about this."Vivienne just sipped the coffee and commented, "This is good. Where did you get these coffee beans?""Don't change the topic and so blatantly at that too.""Don't you have some cookies for me here?"Xavier was stumped when she looked at him with eager eyes that dimmed when she realized that there were no cookies here for her. She pouted at him in grievance, "How can you do this? Did you forget about your sister so soon? You always stored cookies for me in your office. Why change so fast?"Xavier tapped her forehead, "Don't make that face with me. I didn't even know you moved here.""It's been three days since you know this!"Xavier sighed, "I didn't expect you to come over to my offic
Vivienne gasped in disbelief as she gave Xavier an accusing look. "Brother! How can you scheme like this behind my back?""Isn't it because everyone is worried about you?" retorted Xavier as he tried to soothe her ruffled feathers. "And no one is scheming. We as a family just want to stand behind you as a support which you don't allow us to do so.""My own parents didn't care about supporting me," said Vivienne with no unnecessary expression on her beautiful face. Her eyes looked slightly dazed as she went on, "I don't know why you as a distant relative want to always protect me.""Who told you to be so adorable?"Vivienne almost rolled her eyes at him when she heard that. She refused to believe his words and was just wondering how they even knew that she'd eventually settle down in LA. For a period of time, she also noticed subtle details that the White family's movements were increasing in LA. She didn't expect that her intuition was right. This family truly was filled with unusual
Vivienne had already started to think about what she could order for lunch. Food had become her biggest motivation to live over the years. Trying out new dishes filled her with excitement that was undeniable. Vivienne's eyes were sparkling as she was going through the menu mentally. That's when her eyes suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure. "Rory!" she called out without thinking at all.Aurora had just returned to ask Sierra if she was going out for lunch when she heard that familiar voice. She looked over her shoulder and seeing Vivienne, she paused. Suddenly, Sierra's earlier words rang out in her head. The beautiful woman who came to see Xavier was Vivienne. Aurora's lips upturned into a bright smile when she realized this.Perhaps, Aurora didn't even know herself that she felt relaxed and happy knowing that it was Vivienne who came to see Xavier and not any other woman. Her heart was bubbling with joy but she attributed this fact to the surprise of seeing her best friend h
Today at Elysion Game Studio, the meeting room had an unusual atmosphere. It was not difficult to see the eye contact between the members of the team but the one presiding over the meeting had no clue because he was too busy keeping an eye on his phone. Even when the design department was discussing the new design proposal for the new map in their game, Noah's mind wasn't on it at all.His girlfriend hadn't contacted him all day!Noah was feeling so helpless and annoyed too. Vivienne seemed to have forgotten that she had agreed to be his girlfriend. He just saw his employee talking to his girlfriend during the lunch break as they talked about what they had for lunch. Even though their conversation made no sense most of the time, they seemed happy. But he was sulking because his girlfriend didn't even send him a text message much less calling him. Who knew what she was busy with that she forgot even his existence? It was rather worrying. It seemed his presence was too in Vivienne's li
Vivienne had a lot of fun with Aurora. She picked her up from work, then went shopping, watched a movie together, had dinner and so much more. It was already close to 11 o'clock when they got back. As Aurora's car closed in towards the door of Vivienne's house, she narrowed her eyes and asked Vivienne, "Were you supposed to meet Noah?""No," answered Vivienne. "Why are you asking?""He is here," Aurora gestured with her chin and Vivienne also looked up.Vivienne's eyes widened when she found Noah's car parked in the driveway. Noah was currently leaning against the car, seemingly waiting for her. Vivienne was so surprised to see him here as she didn't even know that he was coming. Why was he here? And was he waiting for her? Why? How long had been waiting outside? When did he even come?As soon as the car stopped, Vivienne unfasted the seatbelt and alighted down. She trotted to Noah's side looking at him with questioning eyes. "You took long enough to come back," commented Noah as he
"Yes, yes, I will listen to you," Noah was particularly obedient in front of her right now. He could tell that she was feeling distressed over the fact that he had waited outside for her for so long. So, he placed his hand over hers against his cheek and told her honestly, "Actually, I was waiting inside the car for you and while waiting, I also got some work done. I wasn't just foolishly standing here like a statue to wait for you. You don't have to feel so bad."Vivienne didn't feel better listening to him. "No matter what, waiting is waiting. It would have been more comfortable to work inside.""I'll remember that from now on."Aurora didn't come over immediately and just watched the scene from the side for a while. She could faintly hear what they were speaking from her position and got the gist of the situation. Actually when Vivienne told her that she was gonna move back to LA, Aurora was faintly worried. Because it was unavoidable that Vivienne would run into Noah again in this
Aurora followed Vivienne inside the house and they started preparing to sleep now. It was already too late at night, they had too much fun earlier, and Aurora still had to get to work tomorrow morning. So, even if Vivienne could sleep in, she won't disturb Aurora's rest.Vivienne was busy with her nightly skincare routine when she heard a knock at her bedroom door. She went to open the door and found Aurora standing there. "What happened? Do you need something?""No," replied Aurora as she naturally entered Vivienne's bedroom. "I thought we could sleep together tonight."Vivienne raised her brows at Aurora but she didn't refuse either. She might have refused others but not to her best friend. They had often slept together so she was used to Aurora's presence. "Do you mind?" Vivienne closed the door and looked at Aurora who sat at the edge of the bed. "Why would I mind this? It isn't our first time sleeping together."Aurora smiled at her and said, "But I think your boyfriend will min
