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
Noelle transferred the money to Vivian’s bank account rather promptly. It was an astounding amount—enough to buy a particular fruit-themed smartphone—but Vivian ended up purchasing a carbon copy of her old phone.After installing a new SIM card, she waited for Edward’s next move.From her surreptitious consultation with experts, Vivian understood that if Edward wanted to spy on her through her new phone, he would have to reinstall the same monitoring software in her new device. Through her lates
Vivian, however, felt only goosebumps crawl all over her. They nailed her feet to the floor while her body was too dumbfounded to budge.He gladly allowed himself to be escorted by the event facilitators. As he passed by the stunned woman, his nonchalant eyes sized up her face before a corner of his lips curved upwards. Nonetheless, he did not let it slow his pace as he went straight into the elevator.Vivian’s spell was only broken after he disappeared into the elevator. She hurried to the rece
The boy nodded eagerly although he was soon shoved out of the way by Vivian’s own students, who were all more acquainted with her enough to display their excitement and adulation openly.“Miss Carraway, how dare you show off like that?! You’re our language tutor, for goodness sake. We thought you majored in foreign languages right there!”Vivian could not help but chuckle at their remarks. “I did major in foreign languages,” she clarified, “My second language is Spanish. Since Catalan is a bit l
It was then that Wade heard Vivian’s voice. Although he did not recognize her at first, when Edward instantaneously raised his head, it prompted him to look in the direction of the noise.As he watched, Wade slowly came to understand why Edward could never keep his hands off this particular woman. Vivian Carraway was brilliant. She was beautiful, confident, intelligent, and exuded feminine charms. Jasmine might command a harem of bodacious ladies ranging from those radiating youthful innocence t
