Vivian’s body instantly stiffened.
Vivian subconsciously wanted to break free, but she heard his voice sound in her ears, “Do you like it here?”
His accent somehow reminded her that she couldn’t offend him because of his identity.
Stiffened. Vivian didn’t dare to move but nodded. “I like it.”
“Well… do you want to have all this?” he asked.
This time, she reacted much softer and faster. “Yes, of course!”
She dreamed of having it!
Her dream in this life was to rise to the upper class, marry into a wealthy family, live a lavish life, and never have to face adversity once more.
Her status affected her social connections. Julian was the best she could find now, and she believed him to have a promising future and that he would shine one day.
She sensed that she was getting closer to her dream as she watched Prosperian Company grow and expand every day.
The company had won the prize, and Julian was well-known in the industry. Although Seraphina was still his girlfriend on the surface, he belonged to Vivian and was under her control. Vivian had no doubts that she would wed Julian in the end. Everything was going well until the essential oil problems arose, which dealt her a severe blow and made her realize that many things were not as lovely as she had believed.
Prosperian Company was so big yet vulnerable that it was nearly destroyed by a single essential oil. After all, it was different from large corporations
However, Julian had to beg Seraphina and his mother for help when facing such a dilemma. His mother couldn’t acknowledge him, so it was useless.
In the future…
Vivian used to look forward to the future, but now she didn’t dare think about it.
With a clear mind, she found that the nobbles and upper class remained out of their reach. They could never have gotten to that point despite their best efforts.
She felt a little desperate at this realization.
“The world is so big that you can never see all of it!” Mike said slowly. “But it is also

small and manageable with just one hand!”

He slowly took her hand, turned it over, wrapped it with his hand, and clenched it. “It depends on whether you can grasp it or not!”
Vivian was speechless.
She stared blankly at her hand, or rather at the one that was holding hers.
Her hand appeared weak in comparison to his big hand with long hair. She was unable to break free because of his overwhelming strength.
Holding her hand, Mike pulled her shoulder and turned her around to face him. “Vivi, you’re still young. You should plan for yourself!”
Vivian appeared somewhat perplexed. She paused, seeing Mike’s face get closer and closer until his lips nearly touched hers.
Just as their lips were about to meet, she suddenly reacted and pushed him away. “No!”
“No?” Mike was not happy when he opened his eyes.
Vivian bowed her head and put her hand on her chest, her heart fluttering. “Mr. Larson, you have my respect and admiration. But as you know, I have a boyfriend. Julian is so nice to me. I appreciate your kindness, but I…”
Before she could finish her words, Mike let go of her.
Vivian was confused.
Taken aback by his reaction, Vivian looked up at him, only to see that he had turned. around and walked to the refrigerator. He took out a can of cold beer, slammed it open, and took a big mouthful.
“Vivi, you think too much.” Mike shook his head. “I thought you would…”
He was probably considering what to say when he rolled his eyes. Then he shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m open-minded. I didn’t expect you to be so conservative.”
“Let’s just have fun. Why do you think so much? I can give you what you want. Isn’t it nice that you can give me what I want? Why do you have to be bothered by other things?”
He gave off the impression that being rejected was not a big deal at all.
Vivian found herself at a disadvantage when facing him.
“Don’t worry. I don’t like to impose on others. You don’t like it. That’s OK. No problem!”

He nodded. “But now, I’m going to rest!”
Obviously, he wanted her to leave now.
Vivian felt embarrassed. Although he didn’t say anything harsh from beginning to end, she thought of herself as hypocritical and pretentious… and ungrateful.
The point was that it would be embarrassing to be kicked out like this.
However, she had already refused him just now. It was too late to change her mind even if she wanted to, not to mention that she hadn’t made up her mind at all.
“Okay, I see. Mr. Larson, get some rest. See you this evening!” She quickly finished speaking and walked toward the door with her head down..
When she was about to close the door, Mike spoke again, “Vivi!”
Vivian paused.
“We will stay in Kweaville for around one week. You have enough time to think about it,” Mike remarked with a faint smile, holding his cold beer.
Vivian responded with a nod
She stepped outside, closing the door.
In the room, Mike grinned with determination.
Feeling depressed and suffocated, Vivian was confused and didn’t even know how she made it back to her room.
She kept thinking of Mike’s touch, his scent, and his words, making it impossible for her to breathe.
She thought, ‘He said I have plenty of time to think about it…
“Think about it…
“No! I can’t cheat on Julian, not to mention I might get pregnant
now.
‘Mike just wants to have fun with me, but Julian is serious about me and even we talked about getting married. We are serious about each other. I can’t go astray!”
At this moment, Julian called her. She immediately answered, “Julian, I miss you so much!”
Julian was stunned for a moment, probably not expecting her to be so affectionate. Then he smiled and asked, “What? You just got there and already missed me?”

“Yes. When can you come over to join me?” Vivian sincerely asked.

“Vivi, you know that I still have something to do here. But it’s almost over. When the issue is fully resolved, I will come accompany you. Be good!” Julian comforted her gently before asking. “Have you made it to the hotel yet? Does the room look okay? I picked out a lovely room with a king bed on purpose. I have checked out other rooms, and they were basic. You are worthy of better. Is the room all right? I’m telling you, I deliberately chose a nice king-bed room. I’ve checked out other rooms and they are crude. You deserve better. Are you satisfied with the room I booked?”
