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
While waiting for Edward, Vivian speculated about what he wanted to give her.The best-case scenario would be a new phone equipped with his monitoring software. Then again, when it came to bad-case scenarios, Vivian could not come up with reasonable possibilities. Edward Levin was and would always be depraved, perverse, and the absolute exemplar of disgusting b*stards whose rock bottom was an unreachable abyss. Every single one of his atrocities always managed to surpass her worst imagination.It took the man in question about ten minutes to arrive. As though he was displeased with her choosing such a public spot in the lounge, he tilted his head to one side and said casually, “Over there.”He was referring to a bar close to the lobby with chairs cozier than the one Vivian had opted for. Despite his suggestion, she remained seated, only raising her head to his face as she declined calmly, “I’m wearing my volunteer uniform. I shouldn’t be there.”Edward studied her and broke into a smil
She was suspended in the void.She saw herself shuddering. Every inch of her body was shaking like a lone leaf in the most biting gale. Any moment now, the leaf would be ripped into shreds.She raised her head, and her eyes lingering on the image on the gigantic screen. “The viewing angle here leaves much to be desired,” he had said. He was right. She could not see anything more than blurry silhouettes pressed against each other.Across her, Edward’s mouth was moving, but his speech was a muffle
She looked at Edward, then Vivian, without any sign of discomfort in her eyes. Finally, she drew her attention back at Edward as she waited for his answer slightly nervously.Edward nodded lightly. “I am.”A sweet smile blossomed on the girl’s face. “Hello, Mr. Levin! I’m an admirer who started really, really adoring you after listening to your speech about innovating capital. Could you please, please give me an autograph?”He was a little startled by her request. Thanks to his standing and his
Though a somewhat palatable floral design adorned the edge of the sticky note, it was still a stretch to call it adorable. Honestly, it was something Vivian had taken with her person so frequently that it was the first replacement she could come up with upon realizing she was underprepared to pass Seth her address.For some reason, Vivian had a nagging feeling that the girl before her was at least a bit…off. It was a feeling that had stuck since their first encounter.Regardless, Vivian snatched
Contrary to his usual temperament, Edward reacted with patient approval. He produced a business card from his pocket and handed it to her. “Send it to this number.”Elated, she received the card with both hands before turning to Vivian, who promptly rejected the question before she could ask, “I don’t need it. Thank you.”The girl seemed quite startled by her response but said nothing more than lightly shrugging her shoulders.“Alright! Sorry for taking up so much of your time. I’m very grateful
