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
Before she got out of the car, Vivian gave her her phone number. After that, she said, “Thank you for everything you’ve done for me tonight, Jasmine. I really appreciate it. If I get the chance, I'll certainly repay your kindness. However, there is one thing I must tell you. The relationship between Mr. Levin and I isn’t like what you think. I’m afraid you are going to be disappointed.” “Huh?” Jasmine was a little embarrassed after being busted. She quickly explained, “I meant no harm, Miss Ca
Vivian secretly locked the CD away in her office drawer, hoping that one day, she could use it as evidence against Edward Levin.Despite the series of tribulations that befell her, she did not skip her workday. Instead, she delved into her daily work with newfound enthusiasm. She interacted with more people every day and handled more stuff. She was trying to make herself as busy as possible in an attempt to thwart Edward's monitoring.Her old classmate had sent her a detailed report about Levi
She turned away from Claude and sent the message. After that, she deleted the message record before shoving the phone back into his hand. “What was it you wanted to talk to me about? Is it about Noelle Jones?” Claude still could not come around to his senses. He stared at Vivian with disbelief thick in his eyes as he nodded blankly. Then, he asked timidly, “What happened, Miss Carraway? Did I offend you? I didn’t mean anything else. I just want to buy you a meal to show you my gratitude after
Truth be told, Vivian had to garner a tremendous amount of effort to keep herself from telling him that he was not, that the information he provided was, in fact, helpful, and that she was very grateful for his help. She bit the inside of her mouth to force the compliments rolling on the tip of her tongue down and lowered her head, focusing on the food in front of her instead.During the weekend, Vivian drove to a shopping center alone. She went up to the counter and bought a coat similar to Ja
Little Leuce had heard about the first part of the story, but she was oblivious about the second part. Slightly gobsmacked, she sighed. “That lady’s got potential.” “Right?! I heard she’s a lecturer since Wade Rivera addresses her as ‘Miss Carraway’.” Realizing that she was running out of time, Jasmine did not continue chatting to Little Leuce anymore. After getting several suggestions from her, she quickly prepared herself and rushed out to meet Vivian. Both of them had decided to meet at
