Chapter 51: Prelude to a Date
In an instant, she had a feeling of deja vu, as if she saw him from her childhood, tightly holding her hand and saying, "Vivi, you can't leave me!" Dating? Was she really going to date someone like him? She suddenly felt like walking on a tightrope, with a possible abyss below and a foggy path ahead. Whether she moved forward or backward, it was all unknown."I'll pick you up tomorrow," his voice interrupted her reverie."Pick me up?" she looked at him in confusion."For a date," he casually uttered the words.Vivienne was a bit dumbfounded. She and Asher had spent a considerable amount of time together since childhood, but they had never officially gone on a date."So, because we're dating, you want to go on a date with me?" Vivienne asked after pondering for a moment."Yes," he said with a sense of entitlement.She was momentarily speechless.Back in her dorm room, Vivienne collapsed onto her bed, feeling as if she had drained all her energy in just a few hours. She was exhausted."

Chapter 52: On the Way to the Date
It was Asher! She thought he would come to pick her up at the school gate, but she didn't expect him to come directly to the dormitory building to wait for her!Asher tilted his chin up and stared straight at Vivienne. Perhaps he had been looking at her for too long, as Julian couldn't help but ask Vivienne, "Vivienne, do you know him?""Yeah," Vivienne replied. She hurried back into the room from the balcony, quickly tidied up her hair and changed clothes, then greeted Julian before rushing downstairs."Why are you waiting for me here?" she ran up to him and asked."Is it not allowed?" he countered, putting away his phone and raising his hand to smooth her slightly disheveled hair from running.The girls who had been watching downstairs started whispering even more after seeing this scene. Vivienne glanced around and noticed that many of the girls were from her dormitory building."It's not that. Where's your car? It was parked at the school gate?" she asked."Yeah," he nodded slight

Chapter 53: On a Date
She was taken aback. If it were an ordinary person, they might engage in other activities when unable to sleep, but for him, daydreaming was actually the most normal thing to do.Vivienne lowered her head and continued eating, and Asher remained silent.By the time they finished eating and arrived at the entrance of the aquarium, it was already late morning. It was Saturday, and normally at this time, the aquarium would have had quite a few visitors.However, when Vivienne entered the aquarium, she realized that apart from the staff, there was not a single customer in the entire place. Moreover, the staff members treated Asher with utmost respect.The entire aquarium was filled with various aquatic creatures, from the ceilings to the glass walls and even the glass floors. But Vivienne had no interest in appreciating them at the moment."Did you rent the entire place?" Vivienne looked at Asher beside her, and it seemed like the only explanation for this."Yes," he nodded."Why did you

Chapter 54: Likes and Dislikes
They had their lunch in the restaurant of the aquarium. The spacious dining area was empty, with only the two of them present.Vivienne had no idea how much Asher had spent to reserve the entire aquarium, but she could only imagine that only he would spend a large sum of money for such an ordinary date.Though there were few magazine reports about Asher, Vivienne still knew some things about him. She knew that he had taken over the Montgo family's chain of hotels and was considered a genius in the financial world.Of course, this referred not only to his ability to manage hotels but also to his precise insight in the futures and stock market. For him, money was like a numerical game in finance."What are you thinking about?" Asher's voice interrupted Vivienne's contemplation."Do you enjoy your work?" she asked, genuinely curious now."I don't feel anything," he replied.She clearly didn't understand, so he further explained, "Do you like 1+1?""What do you mean?" she became more conf

Chapter 55: As Long as She's by His Side
Inside the train compartment, with the air conditioning on and a comfortable temperature, Vivienne leaned her head against the seat and slowly closed her eyes.In the quiet space, a man and a woman leaned against each other, cuddling. It felt as if they had been together since ancient times and would stay together until the end of time.After an unknown amount of time, a passing girl outside the train seemed to accidentally catch a glimpse of the scene inside the compartment through the window. Excitedly, she took out her phone and started taking pictures of the two inside.Although there shouldn't have been any sound inside the compartment, those ink-like eyes slowly opened, with a vacant gaze coldly staring at the girl outside holding her phone up.The girl's body stiffened, and she felt a chilling sensation crawling up her spine. The man's gaze felt like absolute stillness. Her hands trembled involuntarily, and she felt like she could barely hold onto her phone.She thought he woul

Chapter 56: The Photo Incident
When Vivienne mentioned her desired salary to the interview manager, the person remained serious and said, "Alright, Miss Sullivan. If the company decides to hire you, we will notify you by phone." In other words, she had to wait for the news.As Vivienne walked out of the interview room, ready to leave, she noticed a few female employees whispering and looking at her."It looks like her, very similar.""It's unlikely. If it really is her, why would she come to our small company for an interview?""Let's go ask, then we'll know."Their murmurs left Vivienne puzzled. However, as she passed by those people, her gaze suddenly froze on the computer screen of an open desk.Her steps came to a halt, and she stared at a photo on the computer screen. It depicted a man and a woman sleeping in a car, leaning against each other.In the photo, the man's head rested on the woman's shoulder, and their right and left hands were clasped together. The picture was taken through the car window, and the

Chapter 57: Call vs Photo
Although Asher had visited her school several times before, he rarely appeared in various media outlets, so no one at the school recognized him as the third young master of the Montgo family. But now..."Do you mind?" he asked. "Of course I do," she replied. "Why do you mind?" His voice was cold, indifferent. She was taken aback, but she saw him suddenly lean closer, his face nearing hers. Instinctively, she took a step back, but he grabbed her waist with his right hand."What are you doing?" she asked nervously. His face was too close, allowing her to easily see her own reflection in his eyes."It's just a photo. Even if it's posted online, so what? We're dating, and such photos are normal, aren't they?" His tone was cold, and his expression was icy.She paused, but then heard his voice continuing in her ear."Or is it that you don't want someone to see this photo?"She opened her mouth, and suddenly another face appeared in her mind. A face that seemed elegant and gentle, but was ac

Chapter 58: Jealousy
It was a string of numbers, without a name. But that familiar number left Vivienne stunned.It was Ezra's number!Even though she had deleted Ezra's number from her phone contacts long ago, she still remembered it. After all, she had memorized that number once.Human memory is strange. When you want to forget something, you may not be able to, but when you want to remember, you may not recall it."Give me the phone," Vivienne said, extending her hand towards Asher, who was holding the phone.However, Asher lifted his arm, avoiding Vivienne's hand."Whose number is this?" he asked."I don't know," she evaded his gaze, feeling guilty."Is that so?" He half-lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes concealing his expression. "Well, once it's connected, we'll naturally find out who it is."What?! She was shocked for a moment, but before she could react, his finger had already pressed the answer button.Asher brought the phone closer to his ear, listening to the voice coming from the other end

Chapter 59: Not Allowed to Leave
Although Vivienne had her phone back, her face had turned even paler than before. A sense of silence enveloped the two of them, with Asher standing quietly without uttering a word, and Vivienne's mind in chaos, naturally unable to say anything either.After a while, Vivienne finally regained her senses and realized that they were now standing at the entrance of a building. The security guard at the entrance had been staring at them with a strange look for a while."Let's leave here first," she said, taking just two steps before being pulled back by Asher."Why did Ezra call you?" he asked coldly, his fingers gripping her wrist bone, applying increasing pressure."Pain!" Vivienne exclaimed, her brows furrowing in pain."Does it hurt?" he lowered his head, looking at her wrist, and suddenly lifted it up. "It's red," he said.A red mark had appeared on her delicate wrist, where he had squeezed it."Then let go of me," she said, attempting to slightly twist her wrist, only to feel him gri

Chapter 60: Where are We Going?
"Where are we going?" Vivienne couldn't help but ask.Asher remained silent as he drove, not answering her.After half an hour, the car stopped in front of a building in the city center. He pulled her inside the lobby.By the entrance of the lobby stood two rows of staff members who bowed and greeted Asher in unison, creating a scene that made Vivienne feel like she was watching a scene from a TV drama.A middle-aged man in a black suit approached them and said to Asher, "The representatives from Germany are already waiting.""Okay." Asher led Vivienne to the elevator and they stepped in.The middle-aged man followed along, curious about Vivienne's identity, but he maintained a composed demeanor, not looking at her much.After all, having been by Asher's side for several years, he was well aware of his boss's usual style and personality. This was the first woman he had seen Asher walking hand in hand with.The elevator reached the 23rd floor. As Vivienne stepped out of the elevator, s
