"Because he's handsome and wealthy, many women want to have him. Including that woman I mentioned earlier. She seemed to be trying so hard to get Victor that she insisted on staying at the Melrose House.""Do you want to know why that woman left on her own, Miss Violet?" Jessie asked, coming closer to Violet. Without needing an answer, Violet's silence was an answer. She wanted to know."The reason is because Victor never saw her again after that night." Jessie and Alexa again laughed mockingly."Never saw him?""Victor never saw her and visited here, Victor never contacted her. In short, she was ignored."Violet scowled faintly. Of course, for her, what Victor was doing was not the right thing. But for some reason, the two women in front of her seemed to take it in stride and even found it amusing. It was as if they had guessed it would happen."So, Miss Violet...," Alexa paused, also approaching Violet and Jessie, "we'd like to know why you wanted to bring Victor to this place. We w

Violet was shocked into silence. She didn't know why. She didn't know why, but it wasn't unusual."He gave me money, lots of it. Even though I knew who this Draven Missegrand was who had just spent the night with me, I expected him tomorrow night, and the next. Every time we met, it always ended with a hot night. For some reason, imagining that I got a dollar bill after meeting him made me very happy. That's why I hope she always comes to see me."Emma looked up at Violet, finding that the expression her interlocutor was making made Emma laugh awkwardly. "You find me disgusting, don't you?" asked Emma and suddenly Violet was taken aback. She had no idea that she was making a face that made Emma uncomfortable and misunderstood.But, she hadn't given a rebuttal yet and Emma had already spoken. "I didn't think twice and give my life to Draven, even though I know what he's like. He gets bored very quickly, which is why I try not to bore him. It's like an employee trying hard not to get fi

Violet didn't say anything as Victor walked her through the crowd, nor did she have any reason to rebel. About two meters away, Violet held Victor back and the two stopped at the side of the road where there weren't many people. Violet didn't want to say anything other than asking for Victor's hand. Although she didn't know exactly how Victor had broken it, or what Violet feared, the pot had fallen on Victor's hand and it must have hurt.But just as she was about to ask, Victor interrupted her again. "Why are you here?" he asked with a colorless look, so passive and stiff.Violet let out a short breath, then answered him, "I'm taking a walk to get acclimated to the city.""Alone?""I'm with Miss Emma. She asked me to go out for a walk-""And where is she now?" Violet paused, realizing that she hadn't been with Emma for a while."I didn't know I was separated from her. Since when, huh?" Violet said, hoping Victor wouldn't scold her. Violet should have known that Victor wasn't the

Victor entered a spacious room centered on a large round table. The table was now filled with five people and had become fully occupied when Victor joined the group.His gaze was forward, as it always was. His calm demeanor made the four people there stifle their annoyance, while the one person sitting straight across from him seemed to be smiling.Victor was like that, and it didn't seem like it could be changed, which is probably how his gaze at Victor would look if expressed in words."Did you have a nice trip, Victor?" The man who had just asked was Johnny Smithf, the leader of the infamous New Orleans underground organization, Little Boy.Victor looked at him and said, "I got a new collection, and it was fun."Victor's casual reply provoked a snide response from the long black-haired woman with hedge bangs at the other corner of the table. "So much fun that you can't stop your wanton desires, huh?"Her name was Eve. A 22-year-old woman who was the only female executive at L

"Victor...," Violet called softly. Victor was focused on driving without taking his eyes off her, but she must have been listening. So, Violet chose to continue. "Did you take offense to what I just said?" As usual, it took Violet a long time to wait for Victor's answer. The man must have been considering whether he should answer or not. Violet had a hundred percent bet that he wouldn't answer her question. "No." But unexpectedly, Victor answered her, even without asking which words Violet was referring to. That meant he understood what Violet was asking. "Do you know which saying I'm referring to?" "I remember a child's sad story when I heard what you said, and that's why I seemed offended. But I really don't care." Violet pressed her mouth shut again, reluctant to respond. Somehow she didn't want to believe what Victor was saying. Should she find the answer herself? Yes... she should. Since that unfounded anxiety had been put to rest today, tomorrow would be Violet's first ste
