Chapter 9 This Is Not A Misunderstanding
Jeffrey put his hand on Vivian's shoulder and looked at her, panting. Hearing her words, he felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Listen Vivian, I'm not drunk!"
Vivian felt as if her shoulder was about to crack. She frowned and twitched the corners of her mouth.
"Jeffrey, let me ask the assistant to drive you home."
"Vivian..." Jeffrey tried his best to endure the pain from his hand, but what the woman in front of him said made him even sadder!
He paused and grabbed Vivian's shoulder with all his strength, murmuring, "If you want to go back, let's go back together! You are my wife"
Without saying a word, Vivian gently helped him sit on the sofa, and then stood up to look for clothes for him, but her hand was grabbed tightly by him. "Don't leave."
Vivian turned around and looked at him. His arm was badly injured, but he didn't say anything. If it went on like this, he would pass out. But he was so childish. If she didn't go back with him, she might have to stay here for the night.
"I'm just helping you with your clothes. Don't move!"
Hearing this, Jeffrey felt relieved. He let go of her hand and frowned, as if he was holding back something.
Vivian picked up the clothes on the ground and threw them to him, with disdain and displeasure in her eyes.
Although she didn't have any special feelings for Jeffrey, he was still her husband in public. What she didn't like most was that the thing that used to belong to her was stained by others.
Vivian called her assistant. Jeffrey had already put on her clothes, but she couldn't tie her tie well. She couldn't bear to see it, so she went forward and bent over to help him tidy up. Seeing that his white shirt was bloody red in his arm, she had to put on his suit jacket and help him up.
Very heavy!
The assistant arrived at the right time. He came to help him with one hand. The two didn't go to the Shen family's house directly. After all, Jeffrey was injured, so they went to the villa he often went to. After a simple bandage on his wound, the assistant injected him with a tranquilizer before he fell asleep.
The next day, when Jeffrey woke up, her mind was in a mess. What happened last night was too messy. She was afraid that Vivian would get the wrong idea! When he saw her in the kitchen, he saw her skillfully grilling the bread and putting it on a delicate plate. On the table was a simple and delicious breakfast.
Jeffrey smiled, walked up to her and held her waist from behind.
"Good morning, Mrs. Shen."
Vivian felt her waist tightened and was frightened. She slowly responded in a low voice. What happened last night was always lingering in front of her. Thinking of this, she stiffened.
A sharp light flashed across Jeffrey's eyes. He knew what was on Vivian's mind. The one who caused the trouble should bear the consequences.
The assistant knocked on the door of the office and put the documents on the table. Just now, when he knew that the CEO needed these materials, he immediately investigated the whole situation. "Boss, that's all I have found out."
Jeffrey flipped through the files and slammed the folder on the ground with a loud noise. As expected, there Candice must have a strong background to do such thing.
Looking at the CEO's ambiguous smile, the assistant secretly worried about Candice.
A trace of hatred flashed across Riley's beautiful eyes when she heard Candice's cry.
She stared at the front angrily. She didn't expect that Candice failed. If she was blamed by Jeffrey, Candice didn't dare to tell anyone about her, unless she didn't want to live anymore!
After hanging up the phone, Riley changed her face and gave a triumphant smile. She walked into the cafe and wanted to have a cup of coffee as a reward. Unexpectedly, she ran into Vivian, who was drinking coffee leisurely.
"Hey, sister." Riley said with a fake smile. Since Candice didn't affect the relationship between her and Jeffrey, she should go there in person.
Looking at her fake smile, Vivian smiled slightly and said nothing.
"You think I don't want to talk to you, bitch?" Riley glared at her with a ferocious look, and then smiled, "Do you know that Jeffrey and Candice are together? They were a perfect match! Candice is one of the most beautiful women in our circle. You can't compare with her for sure!"
"So you think you are better than Candice?"
Hearing her aggressive tone, Riley was so angry that she wanted to slap her!
"Riley, this is a public place. You are so shameless, I want to save my face." Vivian didn't want to drink coffee either. She had planned to go out to relax and deal with the troublesome things after returning home. Unexpectedly, she met Riley.
She didn't want to hear Riley's words at all. Although she was surprised that she would know about it, she thought that Candice and she were in the same circle, so they should be friends. "Huh!" Raising her eyebrows, Riley withdrew her hand and said, "You shameless bitch, you
can only use the public to protect yourself! Do you think you can do anything as long as you have Jeffrey backing you up? In the end, it was us who helped you. Otherwise, how could you still stand here right now?"
"Ha ha." Vivian sneered and thought, 'Was it called help to frame me to other people's bed? She was kidnapped and threw into others' hands. Was this count as help? Riley's words were really unbelievable! She didn't want to say anything more. She picked up her bag, glanced at Riley coldly, and left without looking back.
With a triumphant smile, Riley didn't stop her. She thought that Vivian was afraid of her.
Standing at the door of the office, Vivian hesitated whether she should knock on the door or not. She didn't know why she came to the company of Jeffrey. Perhaps she was eager to expose Riley's lie. While she was hesitating, a faint sound of a conversation unexpectedly came from the unlocked door.
"Boss, with all due respect, why do you want all the information about Candice?" The assistant asked in confusion. Although she knew that what happened last night might have something to do with her, she was still a little worried. After all, it was important.
Hearing this, Vivian's heart skipped a beat.
She was curious about Jeffrey's answer! She was afraid that she would be disappointed when she heard the answer.
"I have to know!" Jeffrey replied firmly. He must know all the awards, competitions that Candice had won and people that Candice was close to! Only in this way could he teach her a good lesson and make her stand higher and fall more painful!
"Arrange a suitable role for her and make her appear in public frequently!" Only a high rate of appearance could make her get known by the audience
Jeffrey sneered? She wanted to be a big star, didn't she?
Hearing this, Vivian's face turned pale and her mind went blank.
Riley's words sounded like a joke to her. Everyone knew that Candice was in the entertainment circle and that Jeffrey might have a crush on her, but she never thought that was true!
When she was hesitating, the door suddenly opened.
When the assistant saw Vivian standing in front of the door, he wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought. When he was about to leave, he realized that he was too excited to close the door. Now she heard a lot of words that she shouldn't have heard.
Jeffrey raised his head and saw Vivian standing there in a daze. He put down the pen in his hand and rushed to her. He held Vivian tightly and said nervously, "Why do you come here all of a sudden?" "Ha ha," Vivian sneered, turned her head to look into his eyes, and said slowly, "Are you frightened by my sudden visit? Are you doing something behind my back?"
Jeffrey's heart ached when he heard what Vivian said. 'What a stupid woman!' He thought to herself! What was she thinking about!
Although it was not a bad thing to tell her about Candice, he was afraid that she would think too much all day long. He decided to tell her in person when it was all done. "No, I'm just a little surprised that you suddenly came to me. What do you want to eat? I'll ask my assistant to buy it." Jeffrey asked gently.
"No, thanks! You'd better buy it for Candice!"
After saying that, Vivian turned around and was about to leave.
Jeffrey grabbed her hand, her eyes full of panic, "Let me explain, Vivian! I was framed that night. Nothing happened between us, you know that! How could I have a crush on her?"
"I don't know what you are thinking about her. I think you are very good to her! It doesn't matter. You should let go of me if you love me!" Vivian smiled, but her beautiful big eyes flashed a trace of coldness, staring at Jeffrey in front of her.
"Vivian, you really misunderstood me! We both know what kind of woman Candice is. How could I have anything to do with her?"
"Forget it. I know. You must be very busy. I have something to deal with."
Taking back her hand, Vivian gave him a cold look and pushed the door open without looking back.
Jeffrey clenched his fists, the veins on his hand pops out. 'Candice is so annoying!' When everything was done, everything would make sense! Looking at the back of Vivian, he walked back to the leather chair in disappointment.
In the coffee shop, Riley was leisurely manicuring her newly made nails. She looked at the shining manicure carefully and smiled.
She knew that Jeffrey must have fallen out with Vivian, so she decided to take this opportunity to attack her again! Everything was perfect!
Riley took out her phone and looked at the note on the screen. She raised her eyebrows and pressed the dial button.
"Hey! Riley!" Seeing the note on the screen, Candice wiped her eyes to make sure it was Riley. Then she answered the phone excitedly. It seemed that Riley was also defending her!
"Candice, I was going to pretend that nothing had happened, but I still feel uneasy for you. Jeffrey has always been a man of uncertainty. If he is in a bad mood, he might get even with you!"
Riley excitedly gestured her fingers and said in a sweet voice. She wanted to make Candice feel that she was not in a high position and had offended a big shot. By then, if the two of them continued to tangle, things would be more complicated!
"Ah! Riley, what should I do now?"☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
