"Oh please...after you left me to die huh?"Alexis said over the phone as she got ready for work. For three straight days, her friend didn't even call or anything. It must be nice at Victor's place for Vivie to stay there however that wasn't the case when she was busy operating in secret"Did you think using that rude doctor would work...listen here bestie...I would never go out with that man" Alexis added and used her shoulder to he the phone while she used both hands to go through her clothes. If all men Vivie could trap her with it had to be the rude doctor. She would have loved it if she sent someone like doctor Justin. He was so nice and cheerful that Alexis loved being around him more than Maverick"Bla bla...is your honeymoon over because today is the final day for the project...come to the office so we go through with the MD"Alexis added when she heard all that Vivie had to say. Judging by her voice Vivie seemed to be sleeping or what because Alexis could hear some moans from h
(Vivienne)The day was like a cursed one for me. I was in a hurry to get to the office hoping and praying whatever was sent to Victor's office didn't get into his handsI left the taxi I boarded a while ago and ran down the road as fast as I could. There was traffic hence I couldn't wait for long when I was frightenedMy mind was frantic with thoughts, “How is it possible to move this fast?”I thought as I moved my legs as high as they could carry me. I didn't even mind the people staring at me thinking I was a madwoman. My steps pounding in time with her heartbeat, my mind was racing faster than my feet as I pounded my feet across the road, as my lungs strained."Please don't let him"I muttered, I started cramping and my body shook uncontrollably. My breathing quickens, trying to appease my need for oxygen as I felt the wind whip my face causing my hair to scatter on my faceFocusing on the building ahead of me I sprinted a bit quicker. The steady pound of my footsteps echoed in my ea
"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
