Vivian dropped her body onto her double bed after entering.Not only did Clinton eat the pizza she ordered, but she also talked non-stop. Vivian had absolutely no interest in this guy, so while pretending to listen with full interest, she started planning her next move to conquer Jaime. But Clinton interrupted her thoughts when he suggested they go to lunch off campus. After that, they went to see a movie. Although Vivian doesn't hate eating or watching movies, all of these are a waste of her precious time.She will have to work harder tomorrow. Deftly reaching behind her to grab the blanket to cover her body, she took a nap.~~~~~"It's going to rain today." Giselle, Vivian's co-worker in the pizza shop, said while cleaning the table.Stopping to arrange the chairs that a few teenagers had made a mess of during lunch, Vivian looked up at the sky with its thick gray clouds. Yesterday Clinton told her he was going to the library to look for documents, which meant he wouldn't bother her
Returning outside, she finds him holding a photo of her and Hodja together as children and photos of them as adults. Those were the only photos she had."He is my brother." Vivian cleared her throat, handing him the towel."Sorry for touching your things." He put the photo down."It's okay." Vivian smiled and walked towards the kitchen to get him a glass of cool water. "I raised him alone."Jaime turned to look at her as he dried his arm with the towel she gave him. "Does he live here with you?""No. He's married, so I'm alone." She replied, pouring water into the cup."What about your parents? Don't they live with you?"This made no sense to Vivian, she flashed a bitter smile, walking towards him with a glass of water in hand. After he took the glass of water, she sat down on the chair. "We are all orphans."It wasn't really a lie, she thought. With her father dead and her mother leaving to marry a new husband, they had no parents, and she and Hodja were considered orphans.He blinke
Jaime frowned at his friend. "It's Vivian."Clinton's face was calm. “Why do you have her umbrella?”"She was here yesterday," Jaime said. "She waited for you in the rain, so I took her home and she lent me her umbrella because I didn't have one either."Jaime stopped in surprise as Clinton quickly shot up from his side to be in front of him. “Wait, you took her home?”Jaime nodded."Is it an apartment complex near the school?""That's right."Clinton let out a sound of disbelief. "Why did you go into her house? I'm the one who should go into her house.""You?" Jaime repeated without knowing anything."Obviously I knew her first, I'm planning to conquer her.""You like her?" Jaime asked."Maybe yes. She doesn't seem too bad. Overall she's nice, she has nice legs. Have you seen them? Whoo!" He asked excitedly and finished with an impressive whistle. Frowning at him, Jaime reached out and punched him in the chest."Unless she says she likes you too, you shouldn't make comments like that
The car stopped a few minutes after he carefully pulled over to the side of the road. She looked out the window and saw the car stopped in front of the pharmacy. When Jaime walked out, she reluctantly followed and walked inside with him. What the hell is he doing here?Standing in front of the counter, she heard him ask the pharmacist. "I want cold medicine."Vivian watched the middle-aged woman behind the counter take a few blister packs of pills and put them in a white paper bag. After paying, Jaime turned and walked towards her, handing her the medicine. She felt a little awkward with his kind gesture but still took the bag of cold medicine."Actually you don't have to do that," Vivian said and nodded her thanks.Back in the car, Vivian held the bag on her lap. At first, she thought Jaime was the typical rich guy who would do anything to impress any girl but now she's starting to see him in a new light.He is kind and thoughtful with everything in her favor. If her story last night
Luna is the typical pretty type that any guy wants to flirt with but Jaime doesn't care about her. It's not because she's older, but he has absolutely no feelings for her.In general, she is not attractive, at least to him. Jaime suddenly thought about Vivian accidentally dropping a sausage on his lap and became confused after brushing it off. That particular thought made him want to laugh."Anyway, I chose her, so don't fight her with me."But Clinton seems to like her. Anyway, Vivian got to know Clinton first. Taking his phone out of his pocket, he thought for a bit more while deciding.If Clinton likes her and she likes him, they will have Jaime to thank for helping them get together. The answer is obvious. Without any further thought, he texted Clinton.~~~~Vivian was startled awake when her phone rang. She sleepily stood up and got out of bed. Stepping out of the room, she saw Jerry had left, the apartment still as empty as ever.Rubbing her head, she reached for her phone, glan
Wiping the table furiously, Vivian pondered to find a reason to refuse. If she doesn't get a rich husband, she will have to start looking for a second job, she doesn't think she will go back to the habit of sleeping 3 hours a day. It's been a long time - almost six months - since she started enjoying the comfort of sleeping 7 to 8 hours a day.The loan and interest she owes will be the end for her. Vivian didn't want to start worrying about that. Why couldn't she enjoy a life of abundance even for once?Lifting her head as the door opened, she noticed Clinton walking in, he looked around before seeing her. The bright smile on his face when he saw her made her smile in return for that kind gesture. He shouldn't have come, she thought, but she still had to step up to him."Hello." She speaks."I was hungry so I decided to stop by here." He told her. "When will you be done?""Probably evening," Vivian replied then wondered if he came alone. Her eyes searched the door behind him, but his
All day Friday, Vivian spent time counting the hours that passed. Clinton texted the location where he would meet his friends, reminding her to come after work. If Jaime really comes, she must find a way to pull him to her side, everything will go well.Vivian felt worried. Jaime doesn't seem to fall for her little tricks easily. But she can certainly take advantage of his naivety. She just needs to get a little closer.When the clock struck seven, she immediately ran out the door and down the block. After arriving at the karaoke bar, she rushed to find the room where Clinton and his friends were staying. After finding it, she suddenly pushed the door open. Her sudden appearance made everyone turn to look at her intently."Vivian, you're here." Clinton happily called out and walked towards her. With a hand on her back, he led her in and closed the door, introducing her to his friends."It's the girl you keep talking about, right?" One of his friends, teasingly then told her. "You bett
Damn Clinton, Vivian cursed as she climbed into bed that night. Jaime leaves by the time she steps out to find him. Jaime quickly left without saying goodbye. Or did the person he was dating call him?"No no." Vivian shook her head, hands behind her head, focusing her eyes on the blue wall of the room in front of her.If she recalls correctly, Jaime will be at school finishing the essay at the library. Whatever it is she'll have to catch him before he leaves for his date, and she'll have to gamble again. No big deal.She was sure that Jaime wasn't too far away from being interested in her, interest in a specific person was what drew lovers together or something like that.Manipulation is an art for her. Countless times in the past based on certain circumstances, Vivian lied her way through many situations. She also takes advantage of soft-hearted bosses by telling her story about her and her younger brother to increase her salary.One day in Vivian's apartment, Jaime talked about his
