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
“She’s looking for Noelle Jones through Jasmine?” Edward asked with a raised brow.In the evening, he received a report from Wade that Vivian had requested Jasmine to help her look for Noelle. Even though he knew that she would not give up so easily, he had not expected her to make such a foolish move. Wade nodded. Then, he continued, “According to Jasmine, it’s Vivian who invited her for lunch. It was a casual meeting, and she only brought the topic up when they were closing to finish their
“Okay, you go ahead then. You can even take my class with you. In any case, I'm not going to go there to serve people,” the colleague continued to grumble, “It’s fine if you are allocated to the hotel hall, which is the venue for the forum, but what if you’re unlucky and get assigned to the airport or the bus stop? It will be a disaster!” A faint smile shadowed Vivian’s lips as she replied simply, “Well, all we can do is pray to God.” Nevertheless, she was pretty lucky this time. Along with
Vivian nodded slowly. She took a sip from the glass in her hand and handed Noelle a glass of water. “Take it easy. Drink some water and tell me about it slowly.” Noelle took the glass from Vivian’s hand and sipped from the glass. “Please believe me, Miss Carraway. I didn’t know who Mr. Levin was until I came to Tipsy Tonight. I’ve been asking around about him, and I was shocked as well, but I didn’t dare to ask what was going on.” Vivian just listened to her blabber without saying anything.
“Nothing. I just took several pictures of you,” Vivian replied matter-of-factly. Then, she waved her phone and continued, “Don’t worry. As long as you listen to me, I'll delete the pictures.” Noelle had been working here for a while, so she regained her composure very quickly. She queried, “What do you want me to do? What are you going to do with me if I refuse to listen to you?” “Well, I can’t really do anything to you. All I can do is carry out my duty as your lecturer and send all the pic
She thought to herself, ‘Great, that’s just what I need!’. Despite Vivian being mentally prepared to bump into Edward, she could not stop her body from shuddering when she encountered him. Edward noticed her as well. He raised his brows and asked, “Miss Carraway? Are you here for pleasure as well?” Vivian refused to believe his encounter with her was just a coincidence, hence she loathed the way he was being so pretentious. She pursed her lips upon hearing his question, but she forced hersel
