บททั้งหมดของ Mr. CEO We're Done!: บทที่ 121 - บทที่ 130

Vivian’s POVI had been fuming with anger since I left my home. How could Manny suggest something as outrageous as that? Why would he even think that I would want to collect such a huge amount of money from Syrus.I got into the apartment and slammed the door angrily. I grabbed a bottle of water from the kitchen first to calm my thirst, but it did nothing to quell the anger deep inside of me. It was bad enough that they were already treating me as the black sheep of the family, and now, they want to guilt-trip me into this.I called Belinda on the phone immediately. I knew she was at work and probably busy, but if I did not talk to anyone, I might explode, and Belinda was the only one I could talk to. Belinda picked at the first ring, making me super relieved.“Girl, you do realize that I am at work, right?” Belinda said in her light nature, as always. “Do you want me to order that breakfast now?” She asked.“I am sorry, Bel, but I just needed to talk to someone,” I said, and now that

Vivian’s POVI froze at the sound of her cold and harsh words to me. It was the first time I was hearing her voice, and those were the words that came out of her mouth.I opened my eyes in the apartment now and turned around to face my reality. “How did you find this place?” I asked her as I turned and saw her looking around the apartment.“Why can’t you leave my family alone?” Nancy turned to me and asked, her eyes as cold as ice.“I have divorced Syrus,” I reminded Nancy, refusing to feel intimidated by her presence and words.When I was still married to Syrus, I tolerated every trash they threw at me, because I desperately wanted to make things work. I desperately wanted to be accepting and feel the sense of belonging, because I had neglected my family, and I had never lived without the presence, love, and joy of being around a family. But now that we were divorced, I realized that I did not need to accommodate any of her hostility. In fact, I realized that right after the divorce

Vivian’s POVWhen I heard the doorbell ring later that evening, I jerked in shock. Did Nancy return to continue with her threats and harsh words?I just sat there, contemplating. It was early evening, and I doubted anyone else would be visiting. Besides, I didn’t have any friends, and the only friend I had was Belinda. It couldn’t be Manny, because he did not know that I lived here. It couldn’t be Syrus; since the last time I told him to leave, he hadn’t returned or even called, and he would probably be nose deep into work right now, so my best guess was Nancy. She probably forgot to throw in a few more threats and punching words, and she decided to return to say them. Yes, Nancy Vale was petty like that.So I just sat there, contemplating while the doorbell continued to ring, although I already concluded somewhere in my mind that I did not want to let her in. Perhaps, if she continued that way, the neighbors would alert the cops on her, because she was threatening the peace of the e

Syrus’s POV“Hi, Bonnie, are you free today?” Syrus asked when Bonnie picked the call.He could not believe how uneasy it was for him. This would be the first time Syrus was calling Bonnie over anything at all. They existed as siblings, but that was as far as it went, and Bonnie felt it too, because she was somewhat confused at the question.“What do you want?” Bonnie asked harshly.Syrus would have ended the call at such rudeness, but he knew that as long as he was gunning for something, he had to tolerate her attitude, so he swallowed, and prepared himself for a tough challenge.“I just wanted to apologize for how I handled things with you earlier,” Syrus said.He was barely even done when Bonnie said, “Apology accepted. Can I go now?”Syrus was shocked. It was safe to say that he did not know that Bonnie had such a distasteful attitude. Most of the women in the corporate world and from wealthy homes lacked manners. Half of the time, they were rude and uncouth, which was why when Sy

Vivian’s POVI refused to feel horrible about my argument with Belinda; she had been overstepping her boundaries anyway, even though I was already feeling like a mess.To keep me from being bored, as and a result, feeling regretful, I decided to check out some jobs on the internet. Maybe if I got lucky, I would get a job. I meant it when I said I did not want to lean solely on Syrus, and even though I knew I could not get a job that would miraculously give me the money to save Ted, I knew I just needed to get my life back on track.“You have been wasting away for too long,” I told myself. “It’s time to get back out there and get your life together,” I added as I continued to check through job sites.Most of the job openings I found that I felt I could do with a reasonable pay needed recommendation.“There you are, Vivian; hooked,” I said, feeling sorry for myself. Looking around me now, I realized that I had no one else to get a simple recommendation from, which was pathetic. I did n
