“Because ‘why’ isn’t a conversation that I can have with people like you,” she replied calmly, “Discussing ‘why’ with you guys would be as ludicrous as discussing morality with you.”The man looked at her, gradually shedding the theatrics on his face away. After a while, he smiled and said, “I really couldn’t tell at first, Miss Carraway. You’re actually pretty wise.”‘I cannot agree. I mustn’t agree. Besides, this would be an impossible feat. Edward Levin carries a gun. He will kill me in an
‘It’s not wise to go against him right now, Vivian. Just do whatever he says,’ Vivian told herself. No matter how much she loathed him, he was her best shot if she wanted to protect herself. She obediently walked toward Edward and sat next to him. She did not say a word but just stared vacantly at the glasses on the table. Meanwhile, Seth glanced at them from the opposite side, his lips twisted to the side with a sardonic smile. He then waved his hand, hollering two voluptuous young ladies to
Seth was slightly taken aback as he did not expect that Edward would make him look so bad in front of everyone. It took him quite a while to come around to his senses, and by the time that happened, Wade was already standing in front of him. Vivian stepped to the side without any hesitation to make way for Wade. She watched from the sidelines as Wade forcibly evicted Seth from the room.Donning a grim expression, Seth gave Edward a mirthless smile as he sneered, “You're the one who said I could
She surveyed the hallway around, yet she could not find any waiters in sight. She reckoned that all the waiters must have gone to hide elsewhere. She did not find it weird at all. After all, they would be in huge trouble if they got caught up in this mess. She straightened her clothes and wiped her tears away with the back of her hand. Then, with her chin up and chest out, she marched towards the entrance. By the time she went outside the building, she saw Edward’s car speed away in a puff of
Vivian was slightly surprised. She did not expect something like this would come out from her mouth, given the nature of her work. She turned her head around and looked at her unexpectedly. “Hehe, I'm just talking nonsense. Don’t mind me.” Jasmine laughed dryly. Then, as she started her car, she asked, “So, where are you heading to? I’ll send you there first.” Vivian thought for a while and then replied, “Do you mind if I use your phone? There’s someone I would like to call right now.” She h
Vivian did not say anything and made her way towards the second floor. The texture of the carpet beneath her feet was soft and it could absorb all sounds. She created no noise as she ascended the staircase. When she was on the second floor, she stood in front of a door to her left that had been left slightly ajar. She waited for a moment before she knocked on the door. “Come in.” Edward’s voice erupted from the room. It occurred to her that the room was rather huge as his voice sounded a lit
Edward's voice had taken on a raspy edge, and it was not difficult to imagine what he was about to do next.Standing straight like a ramrod, it took Vivian several deep breaths to make herself less rigid. She walked up to him with slight animatronic stiffness. His gaze was invasive and equally hungry. It made her body tremble, but she displayed resilience. Slowly, ever slowly, she bent over before him. She stretched her arm forward, and her shaking fingers found the button on his shirt. Edwar
She hated the man. She hated him so much that she wanted to pull out his tendons and skin him alive. If possible, she wanted to eat his flesh and drink his blood. He looked back at her through the window and held her gaze. In the end, as if he finally had enough, he let go of his hand. He took a step back and observed her with downcast eyes. He realized she had not given up yet as he could see the flames of rebellion flowing in her eyes. Although she looked beyond miserable, her expression w
