"Miss Alexa... do you think Victor and I... are..." Violet couldn't continue her words. Meanwhile, Alexa smiled again when she saw Violet's face, which looked shocked and embarrassed. He definitely didn't expect Alexa to think like that. Well... Alexa got what she wanted, even though that wasn't her real intention. But seeing Violet's face as red as a ripe tomato comforted him well. Alexa hurried away, but she had time to say one thing that made Violet even more unable to hear it. "If you want to learn how to satisfy your partner, I'll give you a few tips," he said with a wink and then ran into the mansion with a loud laugh. Violet was silent, her face still in shock. He touched his ear, it was the part that felt the most hot as if there was factory activity going on inside. “Oh God,” he said quietly. Violet didn't know why she could be this stupid, even though she understood what sex was and had often seen it in some of the romance films she had watched. He also studied it at scho
"I will definitely defeat you, Mathius' son." Connor stared intently at whatever was in front of him. His eyes portrayed an intense determination, a false bravado fueled by anxiety and a desire to make sure he was always safe. "Come in," he said to someone at his door. Connor's confidants whom he trusted very much. "I want you to find out about the girl Victor is with right now, and who Victor's enemies are. Find out as much and as quickly as possible!" The two tall, burly men nodded obediently, then began their work as soon as they walked out of Connor's room. Connor felt quite calm at this point. At least he knew that Victor had returned to Louisiana without leaving any plans to kill him. It didn't seem like he intended to kill Connor yet, but that didn't mean it couldn't happen someday. It was just like a ticking time bomb waiting for a predetermined second to explode, not entirely at ease because the feeling of being in the palm of a hand and those piercing eyes watching couldn
Violet learns that Victor has gone to see Emily, his niece, who is hospitalized at a nearby hospital. Violet had planned to see Victor, but seeing Emily wouldn't have been a bad idea. That's why Violet doesn't come empty-handed.After asking the receptionist and a few nurses she met, Violet finally found Emily's hospital room. It's a VIP room that should provide the best care for a child with a very weak heart like Violet.But just as Violet was about to knock on the door, she was startled by the door opening from the inside, revealing Victor's tall figure in front of her. "You startled me!" said Violet in an irritated tone and out of breath. Victor did nothing but stare at her in silence.Violet thought Victor had shown a look of surprise earlier, but maybe it was just his feelings. She decided to duck her head since her tiny body must have been perfectly covered by Victor's. "Good evening, Mr. Grayson," she said, greeting him. Jack seemed surprised by her arrival, but didn't stan
While wondering, Violet was still walking. Her gaze wandered in all directions, her head turning right and left, trying to find her destination which finally appeared to be a small waiting room. Violet pulled herself up to hide behind a wall, she couldn’t be seen by either object and have their important conversation ruined.Therefore, Violet waited while occasionally peeking out, keeping an eye on what was happening far ahead.He looked at Jack who was already crying while still holding Victor’s arm. No matter the angle, it was obvious that he was pleading with Victor, who stood proudly in front of him. Violet grimaced. Victor couldn’t be helped with his coldness, but Violet really didn’t understand. What were they talking about to be in such a situation?“I can’t hear them...,” Violet said, straining her ears as best she could to eavesdrop. But still, she and Victor were quite far apart. She couldn’t hear what the two were saying very well until suddenly, Violet was startled by Vic
Violet looked up at Victor's face, there were no more puddles of tears and he looked better than ever. Violet was grateful, but she didn't know what to do next and realized what she had done.Instead of Violet asking Victor "Are you okay?", this situation would have made more sense if Victor had asked her "What's wrong with you?" What was wrong with Violet... who had been asked to look after Emily and instead ended up running down the hospital corridor and hugging Victor as soon as she saw him."Ah ...." Violet started by mumbling, clearly not knowing where she was going with the conversation."What are you doing here?" Victor asked, breaking the awkward silence that seemed about to swallow Violet whole. Violet was grateful that Victor had asked first ... but not by asking her a question like this. "Weren't you asked to look after Emily? You left her alone?""No!" Violet quickly denied, shaking her head. "There was a nurse here and I needed to go to the bathroom, so I left her wit
Victor still held his position. Petrified silence as he stared straight into Violet’s eyes. Even after so many seconds had passed, Victor still had no reaction to the confession of love that Violet made before his eyes. This made Violet wait anxiously. Victor was far too passive to respond to anything outside of work, but for something as big as this, he could at least say a few words.“You’re not going to say anything?” Violet asked at last. She admitted defeat and decided to speak up first.Victor finally spoke up, though he had to use the bait of being asked first. “What do you want me to say?”“I want you to say ‘I love you’ too.”“I love you.” Violet was petrified, her eyes glued to Victor, who returned her gaze just as intently. Her heart was racing, as if it might explode if it wasn’t stopped immediately. Violet didn’t know what was causing it. Whether it was because it was the first time Violet had ever heard a man say something like that to her, or whether it was because it w
Violet looked into Victor’s eyes. The man who was fiddling with a small spoon to stir his late tea asked without looking Violet in the eye. It made Violet feel like she was being judged for a mistake she didn’t know where she stood.Finally, the girl nodded. “He’s your friend.”“He’s not my friend.” Victor denied it outright, making Violet flinch slightly at his answer. “You shouldn’t trust people so easily and treat them so well.”“Miss Maria is very friendly and kind, Victor. I think you understand that more than anyone.” Victor averted his gaze as he sighed, which made Violet look at him quizzically. She didn’t know why Victor was acting this way toward his own childhood friend, especially since he seemed to really like Maria’s existence.But to Victor, Violet was just an innocent girl who could be easily fooled. All it takes is a little warmth and friendliness, and she’ll think the person is nice. Violet had no idea that the Maria she liked was actually standing in a different pl
Violet sighed. She remembered that she had told Alexa earlier. But when they met again, Alexa brought it up again. But it didn't matter if Violet was telling the truth. "I said it."Alexa really didn't expect that. She, and of course Emma, exclaimed loudly and said, "REALLY!?""And I got rejected." Their enthusiastic looks were broken by Violet's shocking revelation."You were rejected?" asked Emma, confirming what she'd heard. Violet's nod gave the answer, which was disappointing. "I saw you two hugging so intimately earlier."Violet averted her gaze as she replied. "Ah... yes, I remember. It was indeed very intimate and close like we weren't given even the thinnest of boundaries. But actually, that man built a boundary as big as the wall of China!""Oh, really? I thought Victor really liked you, Violet." Violet scowled, along with Alexa and Emma. At first, Violet had thought that Alexa and the other women were right. That Victor had taken her because he was in love with her. Bu
