There were a middle-aged maid and a few sturdy bodyguards. They watched her all day long. By then, Vivian was numb. She ate her meals on time every day. When night fell, she crawled into bed and lay there even though she couldn’t fall asleep. Then, it would soon be dawn and another new day would begin. On the night before the Lunar New Year, she took the initiative and spoke to the man who seemed like the leader among the bodyguards. She pleaded with him, “Please tell Mr. Levin that I’d like t
With a neutral expression and a calm voice, she said, "What kind of reaction are you expecting? Do you expect me to grieve, or do you expect me to shed bitter tears? Or perhaps, I should pounce on you, beat you with my fists, or even bite you to vent my anger? I’m tired of guessing, Edward. Just tell me what you want from me, and I’ll do as you say.”Vivian’s words jabbed into Edward like the blades of a knife, and every jab was accompanied by a sharp twist. There were a lot of things he wanted
Edward was dumbfounded as he stared at the woman in front of him incredulously. It took him quite a while to come around to his senses. He gritted his teeth and responded exasperatedly, "Sure."She then sat in front of the dresser and began to put on her makeup. It took her about half an hour to prepare herself. After she put on a bright red lipstick as the final touch, she rose to her feet and stepped back to admire her masterpiece through the mirror. Turning around, she paced towards Edward.
The moment his voice spread across the booth, everybody went silent. Ever since Jake became more and more popular around Edward, his status had soared above other people in his group. There were very few people that he would address with a courtesy title, and judging from the surname “Carraway”, it would not be difficult for them to guess who the woman was. Truth be told, not many people had heard about Vivian. However, those who had heard about her would know that she held a special place in Ed
She still had classes at night, but she skipped them. Instead, she took a cab and went to Tipsy Tonight. Without alerting anyone, she moved towards Edward’s private booth. There were plenty of people in the booth and everyone was as high as a kite. The woman in Edward’s embrace was being surrounded by his friends as they forced him to guzzle down more wine. Then, she heard somebody shouted, “Can you still do it, Ed? If you can’t, let Sis-in-law help you out!” When the short-haired woman in Ed
Estelle was not being shy but she was just too shocked to even move. She opened her eyes wide as she stared incredulously at the scene before her. Slowly, her eyes turned red at the rims and her mouth quivered. Tears began to flow out as if she could not hold them in anymore, and she turned around and ran out of the booth. Vivian nudged Edward again. Looking at him with twinkling eyes, she urged, “What’re you still standing here like a log for? Go and get her!” However, he remained standing
He turned around and looked at Vivian, waiting for her instruction. “Miss Carraway?” Vivian was well aware that she mustn’t reveal her true feelings. She suppressed her desperation and pretended as if she was deep in thought. After a short while, she pulled Jake aside, and with a troubled expression, she asked, “Did Edward touch the girl?” Jake didn’t know how to respond. The first thing was that Edward had not told him anything before, so he did not know what kind of story he had told Vivia
Edward didn't say a word. Instead, he stood there, watching her for a long time before slowly spitting out two words, “Get out.”Estelle was taken aback, then she finally realized that he was speaking to her. Her eyes welled up as she stared at him in disbelief. “Ed?”How could Edward possibly have the patience or the mood to deal with her now? He didn’t even bother looking at her as he simply increased the icy tone in his voice. “I said, get out.”Vivian giggled uncontrollably. That was the
