Worried about Vivian’s mood, and even more worried about Quincy and those who will retaliate, so basically these days Hubert will stay by her side.
For the nth time, Vivian saw Hubert dangling in front of her eyes, and she wanted to cry.
She had said many times that she wasn’t that fragile, and Hubert nodded each time and then still kept her close.
Vivian was not averse to such protection, she just felt that Hubert should have a lot of things to do in S. She really didn’t want to see him get so tired because of her every day.
“Hubert your company really does not need you? I’m really fine, I’ve grown up, I’m no longer the little girl who used to hide behind you guys and cry when I was bullied, you really don’t have to worry about me so much.”
Looking pathetically at Hubert, the last thing Vivian wanted was to add to people’s problems.
“I know you and Carola are worried about me and afraid that I will be sad, so from time to time you will drop your work and come over to keep me company. To be honest I’m happy to have you guys around as much as before. But I really don’t want you to work so hard because of me. I’m happy if you come to me when you’re not doing anything. But obviously you have so much work to do, yet you have to be distracted to spend time with me, and I really don’t like that.”
Looking at Hubert very seriously, Vivian continued with true emotion.
“I admit that Hanley’s influence on me is still there, but I’m working on it, some things are not something you can forget if you want to, right? I will adjust my own mind, I want my own new life, right? So believe me, okay? I can do it, you guys just be my strong support, do not have to be with me all the time.”
Vivian is really do not want to bother others, their own emotional problems, only they can always solve.
Facing Vivian’s eyes, Hubert didn’t dare to look straight at her. These days he was indeed busy until midnight every day because of her.
But to let him go back to S City, he is not comfortable, Hanley is an uncertainty, he simply can not guarantee, he will not harass Vivian again.
Grabbing Hubert’s shoulders and looking into his eyes, Vivian said again, “Am I not that strong in your eyes? Believe me, just believe me for once, I can really do it.”
Hubert’s biggest worry is not Vivian’s emotions, his biggest worry is Quincy and Selena’s group. After all that mess at the last wedding, they would definitely come after her.
But Hubert didn’t know how to talk to Vivian about it, and he didn’t want to lie to her.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, “Well, you don’t have to worry so much, if I’m really busy I’ll go back, it’s just the off-season, there’s nothing going on in the company.”
In the end Hubert intended to deceive Vivian about those dirty things that he did not want her to be exposed to.
“And I’m thinking about the B market right now, so even if I’m not with you, I’ll still be in B.”
Stroking Vivian’s head, Hubert changed the subject and said, “Okay, don’t think about it so much, there’s a cocktail party with me today, okay?”
Hubert didn’t lie to Vivian. At first he didn’t intend to relocate his career to B City, but for her sake he was willing to start over.
Vivian easily believed Hubert’s words, because the development of B city is really getting better and better now. A big stone finally fell from her heart and she smiled sweetly and replied, “Yes, I’m bored out of my mind staying at home all these days, so it’s good to go out for a walk.”
Pinching Vivian’s nose, Hubert said with a smile, “First of all, oh, the reception is boring, everyone is very hypocritical compliments, you may not like it.”
“It’s not possible, it’s definitely not like that.” Pouting, she said, “However, if you accompany me to eat those snacks after the reception, maybe I can consider it.”
“I heard that the chef for this reception is a Michelin chef, are you sure you have the stomach to eat anything else?” Looking at Vivian with a bad smile, Hubert deliberately said, “It’s okay if you don’t want to go, there is no rule that you must have a female companion for this reception, I can go by myself.”
Vivian knew Hubert said that on purpose, but she still said spinelessly, “Forget it, I’d better go, you’re too lonely alone.”
Then slipped back into his room to look for clothes.
Watching Vivian’s back, Hubert shook his head and smiled dotingly.
…
The two arrived at the reception with Vivian’s elegant face as she put her arm around Hubert while keeping her eyes on the food.
Laughing helplessly, Hubert flicked Vivian’s forehead and said with a smile, “Hold on a little longer, I’ll take you to eat something delicious later, first accompany me to meet with Su Dong.”
“Okay!” Reluctantly pulling her eyes back, Vivian still looked elegant on the surface, but her tone was full of reluctance.
Just as Vivian turned her eyes around, she met Hanley’s gaze.
The grip on Hubert’s hand tightened a bit, and Vivian reverted to her original elegant appearance.
Noticing Vivian’s nervousness, Hubert reached out and took her hand in his. Then smiled gently, “Relax, with me, in the same place, it’s impossible that you won’t meet, don’t be afraid, you are over.”
Encouraged by Hubert, Vivian smiled a little, then walked past Hanley in an atmospheric manner.
Politely smiled at Hanley, took Hubert’s hand, walked with him to that Su Dong, and gently did the accompanying.
Seeing the look in Vivian’s eyes, Hanley’s heart was stung hard and she poured three or four glasses of champagne in a row.
Quincy beside him looked at Hanley’s reaction and sneered, huh, whether it was Hanley or Vivian, he would avenge Selena’s death.
“General Qin, Hai Shao and the others have gone over to see Su Dong, look, we …”
Quincy is deliberately provoking the anger between them, only then he can sit back and reap the benefits from it.
Hanley gave a cold look at Vivian’s back, put down the champagne in her hand, and grabbed a new glass in their direction.
“It’s been a long time since you’ve seen Su Dong.”
Hearing the familiar voice, Vivian paused for a moment and quickly recovered her look. Turning around, she looked at Hanley and lifted her glass with a smile on her face, “Long time no see, Mr. Qin.”
Hanley also raised his glass and gave a toast to Vivian, “So it’s Manager Du, long time no see.”
Su Dong was surprised to look at the two, “Mr. Qin and Manager Du know each other?”
Vivian smiled and nodded in reply, “Well, I know each other, but not too well, I didn’t expect to see Mr. Qin here again.”
