Vivienne’s POV Cont

When I heard the word cooking, my mind went blank for a moment.

Alexander… in a kitchen?

I couldn’t connect the image.

In my memory, he had always been distant. Controlled. Untouchable.

The kind of man who existed above ordinary life—not inside it.

The thought of him standing by a stove felt… unreal.

“Vivienne, you probably don’t know this, but Alexander is actually very good at cooking.”

Isabella’s voice was soft, almost gentle.

But every word cut sharply.

  • Too Late for Love, Mr. CEO   Chapter 111

    ***Vivienne's POV***When I pressed Julian for more details, he only told me there had been a minor conflict on set and asked me not to worry.Even so, I was not completely convinced."Don't let those clueless people online get to you," I said. "Right now, the most important thing is protecting your role."Julian nodded reassuringly."Don't worry. I'll handle it."After ending the call, I sat quietly and thought about the situation.I had to admit that the competitor's attempt to sabotage him had accidentally created an opportunity for him to recover.If the staff member involved had remained silent, public opinion would have focused entirely on Julian. However, in their eagerness to fuel the controversy, they pushed the staff member forward as a victim and attracted attention to the production itself.As a result, Director Ethan Calloway and the investors behind Empire of Shadows were forced to step in.The production was one of the biggest projects of the year. It carried the reputa

    ***Vivienne's POV***The exhaustion from the previous few days finally caught up with me, and for the first time in a while, I slept deeply through the night.When I opened my eyes the next morning, sunlight was already filtering through the curtains. The clock beside the bed made my heart skip a beat.I had overslept.There was no time to think about anything else. I quickly got ready and rushed downstairs before Maggie could even finish telling me that Alexander had returned home sometime during the night.After grabbing a quick breakfast, I headed straight for work.On the way to the office, my phone vibrated with a Twitter notification.The trending headline immediately caught my attention.#EmotionalGossip Deletes Tweets and Issues Public ApologyCurious, I opened the post.The account known as Emotional Gossip had released a formal apology statement. Every post related to the scandal had been deleted. Comments and retweets had been disabled, and the account settings had been cha

    ***Alexander’s POV***"You will explain exactly how these stories were created, how they were spread, and who paid for them."The room fell silent the moment those words left my mouth. The fear on their faces slowly shifted into hesitation, and that hesitation told me everything I needed to know. There was more behind this situation than a few people chasing internet traffic. Someone had been directing it from the shadows.***Reed's POV***I closed my eyes briefly and felt a cold sweat form on my back.This had become far worse than I expected.If we spoke, we would expose the people behind everything and destroy our own future. If we stayed silent, I was not even sure we would leave this place in one piece."We need some time," I said carefully.***Alexander’s POV***A faint smile touched my lips, though there was nothing friendly about it."You have a few hours," I said calmly. "No more than that."I turned and started toward the door, but before leaving, I stopped and looked back a

  • Too Late for Love, Mr. CEO   Chapter 108

    ***Vivienne’s POV***When I arrived at the mansion, I had dinner with Maggie before going upstairs to wash up. After that, I lay down on the cold bed and stared at the ceiling while thinking about the decision I had already begun to reach in my mind. Exhaustion slowly pulled me under until I eventually fell asleep.The next morning, when I opened my eyes, I turned to the empty side of the bed and immediately understood that Alexander had not returned home. A quiet laugh escaped me.What was I even expecting?The Isabella I had seen was not someone who would easily let him go.After getting ready, I had breakfast and asked James to drive me to the office.However, the moment our car left the estate, reporters rushed toward us from every direction. Cameras surrounded the vehicle and microphones were pressed against the windows. If the windshield had not been soundproof and reinforced, it would have been impossible for us to move forward.They shouted questions all at once, their voices

  • Too Late for Love, Mr. CEO   Chapter 107

    ***Vivienne's POV Cont***Isabella rushed straight into Alexander’s arms and grabbed his shirt tightly. Tears covered her face as she cried loudly, as though she had been suppressing everything for a very long time.“Alexander, I thought you didn’t want me anymore. Why did you take so long to come?”Alexander paused briefly before placing a hand on her back. His voice was low and steady when he spoke.“Don’t worry. Everything is fine now.”She remained in his arms, continuing to cry without restraint. The way she clung to him made it obvious that she had no intention of letting go.I stood a short distance away and watched quietly. My expression remained calm because there was no reason to react.Before coming to the hospital, I had imagined this scene countless times. I thought I would feel angry or heartbroken. I expected my chest to ache the moment I saw them together.But standing there now, the reality felt strangely different.There was no overwhelming pain.No anger.No sadness

  • Too Late for Love, Mr. CEO   Chapter 106

    ***Vivienne’s POV***Things had already escalated to this point, so while we were at the company, I did my best to avoid drawing attention to myself whenever I was around Alexander.But Alexander behaved as though none of it mattered.He still insisted that I join him for lunch in his office as if the rumors online had nothing to do with us at all.I sat quietly on the sofa while a table filled with my favorite dishes rested in front of me. Alexander moved calmly around the room, arranging the plates and setting everything neatly in place for me.Watching him like this made a sudden thought rise inside me.Was there still a chance for us to go public?The question lingered at the edge of my lips, but before I could ask it, Alexander spoke first.“Vivienne, I’ve already thought about the situation online,” he said slowly. “I did consider making our relationship public. But if we do that, all the attention will immediately shift toward Isabella.”His voice remained calm and steady.“In
