"Vic, just calm down...I'm sure she didn't mean any harm"Maverick tried to reason with Victor. He was too furious which scared him greatly. He was particular about his work and he expected anyone and everyone working under him to take things seriously. Who knew what Vivie did to get him so angry"For now...go to her and apologize...for goodness's sake she's your woman...learn to control your temper"Maverick added not believing Victor would get upset with Vivienne just because she made a tiny little mistake. He was supposed to understand her no matter what and not get upset so easily. It wasn't healthy for their relationship which was just in the process of mending. He came with the hopes of telling Victor the truth he had hidden for three years but now this was a terrible moment to say something like that. Victor was unpredictable. Who knew how he would react"I'm not mad at her, just upset with myself... something is bothering her...I feel it whenever she's with me" Victor said and
"That little slut will get what's coming for her ''Alexis muttered disdainfully as she made her way back inside. Vivienne was right about Brea. Brea was up to no good. For a while now they have noticed how she always sneaked out, sometimes to talk on the phone..one time they found her secretly talking in the Janitor's closet and when she saw them. She was scared and when they asked what she was doing there. Brea gave them a bunch of excuses. Vivienne suspected"Carol...please give this file to Priscilla...she said she needed it for the meeting, "Alexis said and tossed a file on the counter and Carol nodded and moved away from her computer"Sure... what else?" she asked, rolling her eyes as if in annoyance. Alexis just shrugged and elegantly walked towards the elevator. Her spying was over hence she decided to get some work done. Already she was annoyed with that Doctor. Who knew he could stoop as low as moving in next to her apartment"That doctor thinks he's the most handsome man ali
Victor stood face to face with the man who was willing to do anything to have what wasn't his. Anyone in his position would get upset knowing another had his eyes on his woman"A woman of her caliber doesn't deserve to be with someone like you Victor," Mauricio said as he looked straight at Victor with no fear whatsoever. If other men feared Victor because he owned billions and was considered the wealthiest. Yes, he was a smart man. "I'm only tolerating you because...your family just recovered from a financial depression...do you want to mess with me?" Victor said as he crossed his arms over his chest and fixed his cold sharp eyes on Mauricio. Mauricio was on the verge of losing it, he didn't know Victor had taken Vivienne out for lunch. He had tried calling her but she wasn't answering his call and now he happened to have come to the restaurant for his meeting, he saw Vivienne smiling with Victor"There's nothing you can do...your little reputation has no power over me...very soon I
(Vivienne)"I can't see anything here...all I see is that slut Brea ''Alexis said helplessly as we fixed our eyes on her phone screen. She was right. The car was there but we could only see Brea, not the person she was talking to. Alexis was far away when she was recording the video even if she zoomed in we could barely see anyone in the car"Then we need to keep an eye on Brea...she's our only clue here," I said and gave her the phone. It was pointless trying to figure out the identity of the person in the car no matter how many times we rewatched the video"Should I go Nancy Drew on this one...I don't understand why the slut is after you" Alexis said in frustration and stood in a detective position. Looking at her I wanted to laugh, however, I shut my mouth and nodded. Earlier I was threatened by that woman. She knew about Skylar hence blackmailing me would be involved"Today they pulled such a stunt to create a misunderstanding between Victor and me...it's obvious her main aim is
"I'm sure all of us will go," Brea said to other interns while I looked at the work I was given, Alexis was with Priscilla and doing some other work even if it was lunchtime. It turned out the party Mauricio was throwing was for everyone. What a show-off. I failed to understand why he was so adamant about taking Victor on. Only a brainless fool would want to challenge a man like Victor. It was obvious the VIP invitation he sent to me was to provoke me or continue pursuing me about joining his company. I already made it clear that I wanted nothing to do with him because I was happy with Victor"It's obvious some won't go...I mean why would our rival invite us...I'm certain this is a strategy"Brea and her friends continued their discussion. It was lunchtime and all of us gathered in the large office-like lounge. Priscilla told us we could come here and discuss matters related to work. I still had to finish up my project. It turned out that a week Victor gave us all was not enough to get
(Vivienne)"D...do you know how happy I am to see you"I couldn't hold back my excitement or refrain from shedding tears when I saw Cassy. It was like some part of me had been restored. She was so dear to me like an older sister. I cared about her just as she cared about me and seeing her again brought back so many memories. The days we spent laughing. Gossiping about work and an arrogant boss and the times we cried because we both thought the universe hated us. There was no genuine love, no good family for us. We had each other even through bad times. I missed her more than anything, both of us were crying like fools despite being grown-ups, and when I moved backCassy chuckled as she wiped tears from her face and I did the same. It was great to see her. She looked the same but completely different. Her skin was a little lighter than before. She had lost a little more weight than the last time I saw her and her brown hair was cut in a bob style. It wasn't long like before and she look
Victor sat in his chair as he watched Leo act like a teenager. Of all things he didn't expect Leo to be so happy to the point where he popped bottles of champagne at the same to e and started drinking in celebration"Will you stop making my office dirty, "Victor said with a glare that drilled holes if it could. Leo was too thrilled to even pay attention to what his friend was saying because he didn't care. His heart was in immense joy. After reading what was written in the file, he couldn't help but feel like he was on top of the world. Everything was blissful all he wanted was to run out of Victor's office and embrace Vivie unfortunately he was stopped by Victor from doing that"Stop it already...or do you want me to throw you out!"Victor made a low yell slamming his hand heavily on the desk and only his angry voice got Leo's attention as he stopped dancing and drinking and turned to look at his friend"What's up bro in law...it does sound super, doesn't it... BROTHER IN LAW" Leo sai
"Umm, I...I don't get it?"Alexis stammered with uncertainty, Maverick was apologizing to her. She never expected him to say sorry so easily. As much as things were awkward between them. She too wanted to apologize for being so rude. He was older than her and deserved some respect on her part but how on Earth was she to ignore the feeling she got from him. His gaze made her feel something strongly. Something she only felt for one man which was why she decided to keep her distance from the doctor"It wasn't right and very unprofessional of me to act the way I did... Ms. Crawley, find it in your heart to forgive me"Maverick, CK said softly after some time and Alexis was even more guilty...hearing his soft low yet the deep masculine voice was something she preferred not to think about. Maverick knew apologizing to her was a good start. He didn't know where to begin to explain himself when the woman before her was the same girl he thought he didn't want in the past. He had his reasons for
