Unexpectedly, that was truly what Edward wanted to hear. The expression on his face improved, and he nodded his head in satisfaction. Then, he looked at the celebrity behind Seth and asked, “Is she your friend?” Seth appeared like he was deeply frightened. He could not utter anything for a short while. That celebrity was a new movie star who had become famous recently. She was smart, lively, and knew how to behave appropriately. She went forward when she saw Seth’s reaction and took off her su
Vivian won a lot of chips that were stacked high before her. She soon lost interest in the game, thus she turned around and said to Edward, “I’m tired. Your turn.” While Edward was slightly reluctant, he wasn’t actually afraid of losing the game. He just knew that Vivian would sit over on the sofa if he joined the game instead of sitting beside him and watching them. He smiled faintly. “Don’t play anymore if you’re tired. Let’s go home.” The other players were infuriated. How could they lea
When they reached their apartment, it was already the middle of the night. Vivian appeared exhausted, so she went upstairs to go to the bedroom directly. Edward wanted to enter the bedroom with her, but he was afraid that he might appear too eager and it might displease her, so he stopped in the living room. “Vee,” he called out to her. When she turned around to look at him, he didn’t know what to say. He could only smile and say, “Goodnight.” Vivian pursed her lips gingerly but remained quiet
Xyliana Yanders was the celebrity they met that day and Seth’s girlfriend. After they exchanged their WeChat IDs that night, they didn’t lose contact for the past two days. Moreover, Xyliana even sent some photographs of the set to Vivian, extending her a warm invitation to go and visit her. Although Vivian was uninterested in Xyliana and her film, she needed to go there because of her little scheme. No matter what kind of request she voiced out now, Edward would grant them whether they were r
Suddenly, he called her softly, “Vee.”Vivian did not turn around as she replied, “Yes?” He replied, “If you want to meet Seth in the future, just tell me directly. You don’t have to beat around the bush.” “Sure,” she replied calmly without giving any explanation. Edward was slightly impatient. He was quiet for a short while before he asked, “Why are you acting like this?” She pursed her lips and replied, “People need to have a mission in their lives in order to stay alive.” He was st
He watched her in silence. His gaze was gloomy, profound, and so deep that they were like bottomless pits. After a long pause, he suddenly smiled and asked her in a soft voice, “If I die, will you shed a few tears for me?”“I’ll do more than shed a few tears for you! If you die, I’ll shed tears of joy and have a good cry too. I’ll cry for three days and three nights non-stop,” she replied, her soft lips spewing the cruelest words.He simply smiled and gently pushed the stray hairs on her foreh
Edward was neither angered nor fazed when he heard this. He simply nodded slowly and discussed seriously with her, “So, would you like to meet up with Seth? Or you could work at the company. I can arrange a position for you on Seth’s side. It’d be easier for you to see him then.”It was like a punch to a cotton bale. No force was required at all, except that it irritated Vivian so much that she was close to puking blood. In her annoyance, she shot him a fierce glare, then turned her head away a
He opened his eyes that held a sly glint. He grinned at her, then got up, washed up, and headed off to work.Over the next few days, the deadlock between the pair had inevitably softened, thanks to their physical intimacy. One night, when Edward returned from a dinner party, she spoke to him straightaway, “Arrange a position for me in your office. Any insignificant position will do. Oh, and don’t tell anyone about our relationship.”He was overjoyed, but he maintained a cool facade. “Be my ass
