“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
“Why are you inquiring so much? You’re not the one anyway,” the man with the cigarette in his mouth chimed in immediately. Edward refused to comment on that. He darted Vivian a look and gave her a mocking smirk. Then, he urged her, “Come over and help me check out the tiles.”Standing there and listening to their obscene remarks, Vivian clenched her teeth in rage so hard that she almost crushed her teeth. Finally, she managed to control her emotions with great effort. She walked over expressi
“Evil! That’s too evil!” the chubby man on the opposite end muttered to himself as well. He looked up to squint at Vivian, then he asked Edward, “Edward, where did you get this girl from?”Edward did not answer the question, but he looked at Vivian with narrowed eyes. She had a calm expression and appeared oblivious to the situation around her. She stared at her tiles with rapt attention. He could see the excitement hidden in her eyes, so he lowered his gaze to take a glance at the tiles in fro
While Noelle had no fear of Vivian, she was afraid of Jasmine. She could not help feeling nervous upon seeing Jasmine’s infuriated state. She asked frightfully, “What’s going on, Jasmine? I thought she’s just a useless lecturer. What can she do to me?”“Why don’t you think with your brain? Why did Mr. Levin come looking for you personally? Do you think that he did it for you? Who do you think you are?!” Jasmine became even more enraged upon seeing her foolish expression. She did not bother to s
“I’m coming out!” He could almost hear her speaking through clenched teeth through the phone. He chuckled softly and answered, “Sure, I’ll be waiting for you.”She came out soon and caught sight of the striking, black car stopped by the side of the street right outside the gates of the housing estate. It was a chilly winter night, so there were very few pedestrians crossing the remote street. Nonetheless, she still glanced side to side before she jogged over and opened the rear door of the car.
“Really? I shall wait and see how you’re going to make me regret it then.”While his arms were propped by her sides as he looked down at her from above, his lips were curled into a smirk. “Vivian, do you think that I can’t differentiate between your true and feigned emotions?” His finger glided gently across her cheek. He was obviously still catching his breath softly, yet the words uttered from his mouth were cold as ice. “You aren’t blushing, you’re not short of breath, and your heart isn’t p
Liam did not notice the loophole. He trusted her so much just as before and did not suspect her in the slightest bit. He only noticed the fatigue on her face. When they returned to their home, he pitied her and urged her, “You should resign from your day job if you’re too tired. You’re going to change your career when you complete your doctorate study anyway. Don’t exhaust yourself trying to help out those children. You can’t even enjoy your birthday celebration.”Vivian wished that she could c
