Semua Bab Love's Redemption: A Second Chance Affair: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Vivienne knew it was a waste of time to argue with Noah who seemed to have selective hearing or maybe it was right to say that he was very capable of interpreting the meaning of her words in his own unique way. It did not concern him whether her original meaning was that or not. Noah was feeling amused seeing her helpless and exasperated look but he couldn't do anything about it. He liked the feeling of teasing her as it was so easy to do so.They walked together with Noah chatting animatedly and Vivienne just silently observing the surroundings to see how they had changed in the past decade. In a way, a lot has changed, but something remains a reminder of the past. They were still a distance away from the office but Vivienne could already see the building which was a marvel of modern design. The studio's exterior was sleek and contemporary, with reflective glass walls that mirrored the bustling cityscape. The entrance was adorned with a minimalistic yet striking logo of the company

Vivienne turned around and noticed Noah's burning gaze settled on her which made her pause for a moment. Noah stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder, pushing her against the bookshelf. "What now?" questioned Vivienne. "What did I do now to make you look at me so intensely like you want to eat me up?"The back of Noah's fingers brushed against the side of her face as he spoke in a low and deep voice, "I do want to eat you right now. And right here too.""Behave! This is your workplace," Vivienne put her finger on his chest and gave him a push but he did not step back at all. His presence was overwhelmingly enveloping her senses at this close range once again. It was making her thoughts hazy and her resolve, pitiable.Noah buried his nose in the crook of her neck and his hot breath made Vivienne arch her neck a little as she bit her lower lip in restrain. Earlier in the restaurant because of the mix of smells in the air, he didn't notice that Vivienne was wearing a perfume. B

"Aren't you hoping for too much if you expect Noah Sullivan to stop working overtime?" "Exactly! I don't think our boss is a confused person. He had always been ambitious!""But things change once a person is in love.""Then let's wait and see if Noah also changes.""Shh..."The employees were joking and having fun when they noticed someone and immediately dispersed. A woman in high heels trotted over to their side with a stern look on her face. Her sharp facial features were a clear indication of the fact that she wasn't an easy character. Her brown hair was styled in loose curls that fell just below her chest and bounced with each of her steps making it seem like she was in a shampoo commercial.Her dark blue dress hugged her voluptuous figure enhancing the beauty of her perfect curves. She put on a polite smile once she came to the group of employees who had been having fun gossiping."What's so interesting? Why don't you share with me?"No one dared to reply to her right now as t

"Why are they still hugging?" questioned Noah impatiently. He wanted to go over and pull Vivienne away from this man. "Why don't you pull your boyfriend back?""He isn't my boyfriend!" gritted out Aurora."Then why do you look mad right now?" teased Noah. "You clearly have feelings for him. Are you playing the game of denial now? How old are you?""What is wrong with you, Noah?" asked Aurora as she faced Noah. "Vivienne told me that you have changed and I didn't believe it much but now, it seems like I didn't pay you much attention lately as I didn't even notice until now that you have changed so much.""I just think we are almost reaching our thirties now, we aren't teenagers!" stated Noah with a casual look but an unprecedented seriousness and maturity in his eyes and words. "What's the point of playing the game of hide and seek? If you find something pleasing to the eye, you'd want to always get that thing. The same way, if a person is attractive to you, what can denial do? Living

For the rest of the journey, Xavier was unusually quiet. This silence was only unusual to Vivienne but seemed expected to Aurora who was used to Xavier's silence. Because in her mind, Xavier was a serious, hard-working, diligent, and stern person at work. He rarely spoke without reason.However, the same person had a different image in Vivienne's mind. After all, Xavier was her cousin; one whom she really treated as a brother. She believed she was more familiar with her cousin's personality. That's why she was certain that Xavier had something on his mind which was why he was silent.Between the two of them, it was usually Vivienne who stayed silent while Xavier had to find ways to entertain her. They both were talkative people but Xavier was willing to make an effort for Vivienne because he really did not see her keeping to herself. Currently, as Vivienne had expected, Xavier indeed had something on his mind. Knowing that Noah was the so-called first love of Vivienne left him with a
