(Vivienne)"Why is he so difficult?"Alexis asked as we rushed for classes. We were so late and Mr. Whitlock was a ridiculous professor. He didn't tolerate late coming and of course, he gave difficult exams...forget tests and assignments which were like he didn't have a heart"It's cool he's just preparing us for our future," I said, fixing my hair. I was a total mess. I was only wearing blue skinny jeans with a blue tank top and some sneakers. My hair looked like a bird's nest because I didn't blow dry it but just washed it and applied conditioner to soften it"Come on, let's hurry or it will be a full lecture on being late which would apply to our resume, "Alexis said sarcastically and I wanted to laugh because her words made no sense. But I understood her unlike me, she was the center of it all. Being the vice Chancellor's daughter wasn't easy. She and to be the perfect example and she was exceptional"Oh thank God" she exhaled in relief when we got to class and it was as noisy as e
"But that's not what I want…""To work hard and do this yourself...but trust me...my dad is the best...he knows students like the back of his hand and I heard this time...the school will be selecting the companies we'll be going to, "she said and I was surprised. I didn't know that"Really how is that possible" weren't we supposed to choose for ourselves"I heard dad say it...that's why you need to chill I'm certain if it's dad in charge then both of us will get something good...I just hope he recommends his friend,'s company to you too"I heard Alexis loud and clear but I didn't want to get anything just because I was her friend but if her dad was in charge then I was hoping for the best"Our internship will start in a month or two...I'm so nervous okay...three years feels like forever" I said and dropped to the ground like a sack of potatoes, the slightly wet grass pricking my back and exposed arms but I didn't care. I exhaled and inhaled the wonderful fresh air of wet grass and open
(Vivienne)"Ahh...now I feel worthless," Leo said with a cute pout while holding out a spoonful of ice cream. I laughed hard seeing how ridiculous he looked with such a face. For a 32 years old man. He was supposed to be better than this but the man was still the same. Playful like a child"I saw it...I mean is it real?"I asked again, I had a chance to watch one of the movie scenes he was shooting here. I didn't know the man was such a sweetie sexy seductor"It's called acting...it's fiction... whatever I do has nothing to do with my real self," he said defensively and I gave him the eye. No one would believe it when I saw how he was touching and kissing his co-star. It was so real, especially when they kissed. I felt shy watching him"I don't believe you okay...I saw and believed it"I simply said and ate my ice cream. Leo just looked at me with a blank expression. There was amusement and delight as if he was trying to understand me and I stopped not sure why his gaze made me feel unc
(Vivienne)I sat there by the edge of the seat fiddling with my hands which felt too cold like I was sitting in a cold room. The VC was going through some files when I came in and he asked me to wait for a while. Looking at him he wasn't as scary as most students said he was. I met him countless times in these three eyes at his house when Alexis invited me and so far he was a kind man.He looked just like Alexis, especially her black hair although Alexis took her mom's blue eyes. Surprisingly she had eyes just like mine but I shook my head as I waited for him to finish upAfter some time he carefully shoved some files away and closed his laptop and took off his specs and set them aside"Welcome Miss Payton," he said, rubbing his hands together. His voice was low and calm which made me relax as I exhaled silently and nodded with a warm smile"I'm surprised about you...you are wonderful...as you know our school is nothing but the best in the region," he said as he looked at me with a bl
Vivienne POV “How dare you steal huh…you are pathetic. I raised you, but you stole from us!” A loud yell erupted throughout the place, causing an uproar as countless people rushed out of their room to see what was happening. It frequently happens that people steal. The matrons got upset, then trouble came. The sight was sickening even to the adults who stood in corners watching with their faces half-covered. “flog her until she bleeds!” another female voice roared, causing even those standing away to flinch from fear. They were scared to even get close to their opinions. “No…please…stop it…sobs…hiccups…I…didn't do it” A small cry echoed out throughout the open space and into the darkest of night, it would have been better if she was heard, unfortunately, the beatings got even severe. “She dares to steal, she dares to waste my money…flog her!” “No!” “Come on Vivid...sleeping during working hours…this is impossible” I was jerked back to reality by the slamming of a tray on the cou
Vivienne POV I was so tense to think clearly, it was late. The restaurant was empty, all the customers had already left except for a couple and the drunk man. I didn't know how to get rid of him. After he grabbed me by force, I got scared that I thought he would do something bad to me. The way he gripped my waist so tight had me sweating from fear and I wanted to scream for help since people were around and if the man wanted to do anything bad to me in public then he would get arrested, however to my surprise the man was sobbing. It was rare to see a man crying and looking at the man I wondered how a good-looking man would act so carelessly. He was too drunk to move or lift his hand. I stayed there sitting in his lap while he said so many weird things I didn't understand He was cursing and calling all women cheaters. I patted him on his back, a little hesitant because it still felt odd for me to be sitting in a man's lap. It took some time for me to escape his hold. “Thanks for com
Vivienne POV, My eyes fixed on the man I just laid down on the double-sized bed. I exhaled heavily, wiping sweat off my forehead, and rested my hands on my hips. I was sweating just from carrying the man, not as if I carried him myself, which was ridiculous.But as soon as I found the nearest cheap hotel around, I booked a single room for the drunk man and the manager of the small hotel helped me to get him out of the car to the room which was on the second floor. He was already sleeping, and I wondered how a grown man would be so careless.“Ms…do you need anything?” while lost in thoughts taking in the man's facial features which were rare for a man. The manager's voice jerks me back to reality and I instantly turned around, and he was looking at me with that facial expression that said 'I was a gold digger more like a slut bringing a man to a hotel'“No… Nothing,” I answered him with a faint smile, and he nodded before he shifted his gaze to the man sleeping on the bed and then back
Vivienne POV The next morning I was woken up by the loud buzzing of the alarm and the banging of hands-on my door so loudly. The sound was deafening, so I groaned in frustration and covered my head with a pillow. I was so sleepy and tired that I didn't want anything or anyone to disturb me. Whatever sounds I was hearing felt like a nightmare.“No…no…no,” I said as I jumped out of bed taking the sheets with me. I was so shocked as I rushed to the little dressing mirror where I kept the alarm clock which had snoozed off and when I picked it up, my head spun seeing the "9:30 AM "I was doomed as I tried to move around, but my mind was a mess. I couldn't think straight because I was so late for school. I only had an hour to get ready, to talk of running to school because I wasn't going to catch any bus which goes to school. “Now who is it?” I frowned and tied my hair in a bun, not sure who was busy banging on my door so loudly, disturbing my sleep. I left my bedroom and walked to my small
