Edward had already left by the time Vivian woke up the next morning. She put on her clothes and went downstairs. She had just had her breakfast when she received a call from him. He sounded like he was in a pretty good mood. “Did you sleep well?” he asked softly.“Not bad,” she casually replied.He chuckled softly on the phone, then lowered his voice and asked, “Did you have any dreams? How was my performance in your dreams?”“What dreams?” she immediately asked, a few seconds too slow before
She had left Golden South City in a hurry at the time and didn’t manage to go back to school to pack up her personal items. Later, when she sent her resignation letter while she was out of the country, she had quickly mailed the key to her office drawer to her colleague, requesting the latter to help pack up her things and take care of them for her temporarily.Edward was aware of this as well, so when she mentioned her intent to pick up her things from school, he wasn’t suspicious at all.Her
Vivian wasn’t too concerned when she found out that this had only happened last year. She absentmindedly glanced at the look on Claude’s face, then realized that this young man had revealed this to her with some hidden intentions in mind. She chuckled and said, “I’ve just returned from abroad. A lot of matters aren’t settled yet. I’ll give you my contact details once I’ve settled everything.”Claude couldn’t help feeling embarrassed after realizing that she saw through his intentions. He let ou
Nevertheless, he didn’t want her to find out about these things. Therefore, Edward simply smiled and reached out to pinch her ear out of habit. “It’s alright,” he replied. However, Vivian saw right through him. She cast him a sidelong glance with a half-smile on her face. Then, as she continued sorting out the items in her cardboard box, she said, “If it’s exhausting, just say so. Why keep it a secret? Even that well-known ‘genius’ couldn’t shoulder both legal and shady matters at the same tim
Vivian shot him a look. “Don’t change the topic.”She saw right through Edward’s intentions, so he stood up, feeling embarrassed, then headed towards the bathroom. “I’m a little tired today. I’m going to take a shower and get an early night’s rest,” he said. Then, he nonchalantly turned around, smiled at her, and asked, “Wanna shower together?”She had just pulled out a tiny decorative figurine. When she heard this, she could no longer remain calm. She threw the figure at him and snapped hatef
“You’re most welcome,” he replied with a smile.Renne choked on her words in her fury. She shot him a hateful glare and snarled, “Just you wait, Levin.”She left him with a childish threat, then angrily stormed off.Edward chuckled nonchalantly, pulled out his wallet, and left two large banknotes on the table. Then, he got up and left. He did not go back to the office but went back to his condominium straightaway. Vivian was on the second floor, nestled in a bean bag by the window while readi
Vivian paused thoughtfully. “She’s looking for me,” she replied.Indeed, as expected, Renne was looking for Vivian. Once the phone was answered, she shirked off all niceties and bluntly said to Edward, “I want to see Vivian.”Edward didn’t answer. He smiled and handed the phone over to Vivian who had barely said “hello” when Renne exploded into the receiver, “Are you with that b*stard, Edward? Vivian Carraway, what on earth are you doing? Giving me that strange call, then disappearing without
Vivian’s heart ached too, but she couldn’t cry. Not only was she not allowed to cry, but she also had to maintain feigning indifference. She pulled out a piece of tissue paper and handed it over to Renne. “This was just a misunderstanding,” she explained calmly, “No one expected for it to turn out this way. Edward had no idea that you and I were acquainted when he wanted to marry you. Likewise, I didn’t know that you were his fiancée until you were about to make it official.”“Mm, you are all i
