Chapter 43
In the afternoon, Vivianna was still altering the design sketch to the extent that she felt dizzy. After
all, the design proposed by Jessamyn did not meet the usual standards. Thus, Vivianna needed to
make many adjustments.
Around 12 o''clock, Linda knocked on the door of her office and spoke to her, "Vivianna, let''s go.
Let''s have lunch together."
"I''ll just eat in the cafeteria," Vivianna looked up and replied.
Linda looked at her with some distress, "No, I haven''t treated you to a meal since you''vee
back. Let''s go! I''ll treat you to a big meal."
Vivianna then got up enthusiastically, picked up her purse on the table, and followed Linda. In the
past four years, while Vivianna had been away, the economy in this city developed fast and
changed so much.
Linda suddenly remembered while walking to the parking lot. "Oops! I left my car keys on my desk."
As it was lunch break, it would be a hassle to wait for the elevator. Vivianna smiled and offered, "I
drove to work today, why don''t I drive?"
Linda was surprised, "You bought a car!"
Vivianna could not help but feel a little embarrassed, so she exined, "A friend lent it to me for the
time being."
"Alright, you drive then!" Linda replied.
When she walked to the parking lot, she saw Vivianna took out the key and pressed the open
button followed by two crisp beeps. Linda looked up and saw the lights of the white Bugatti sports
car shing.
"This one?" Linda was stunned while gazing at her.
Vivianna pursed her lips and exined, "Yes! My friend is quite wealthy."
"The person must be extremely rich to lend you a sports car!" Linda clicked her tongue while
opening the door of the co-pilot seat to get in.
Vivianna started the engine of the sports car and drove out of the parking lot. Linda, who was sitting
by the side, sat cheerfully and shrieked. "So shy!"
Vivianna smiled awkwardly as she was a little embarrassed because it was Augustine''s carthat she
was driving.
Under Linda''s navigation, they arrived at an expensive restaurant. Vivianna''s car was immediately
weed to the VIP parking lot. It was probably because of the shy car that they
received special treatment.
Linda felt really shy. After Vivianna got out of the car, the two of them headed into the restaurant.
The environment was elegant as it was a ce for the rich and famous.
Vivianna and Linda ordered a meal and talked about thepany''s affairs. Time passed in the blink
of an eye. Around 1:30 p.m., both of them had already finished eating and were ready to leave.
"Linda, please wait for me for a moment. I''m going to the washroom to wash my hands. I''ve gotten
some grease on it," Vivianna handed her bag to Linda.
After Linda took it, Vivianna went straight to the washroom. When she finished washing and drying
her hands, she lowered her head and headed out.
At the same time, a man also exited the washroom. Vivianna almost bumped into him.
"I''m sorry," Vivianna instinctively apologised and looked up at the man she almost bumped. The
man also bowed his head to look at her. Their eyes locked into each other.
All of a sudden, Vivianna''s face drastically changed. This man turned out to be Xenophilius.
Xenophilius was dumbfounded. He didn''t expect to meet Vivianna in the restaurant. Four years had
passed, and he had long forgotten the existence of this woman. He didn''t expect that he would meet
her again!
At this moment, Vivianna was dressed in an elegant and professional-looking outfit. Her hair was
styled neatly at the back of her head, which revealed her fair and delicate face. Her calm eyes were
no longer like the weak girl he knew four years ago. She had transcended into an enchanting young
lady.
Xenophilius''s eyes widened slightly.
Vivianna wanted to leave anxiously, but Xenophilius had other thoughts. He sped her arm and
murmured, "Vivianna."
"Let go of me," Vivianna''s voice was cold and hurried.
Xenophilius then questioned, "How have you been in the past few years?"
She looked back at him and replied mockingly, "I''m fine. Are you satisfied?"
She used to love this man. Vivianna devoted her everything to him and even saw him as her lifetime
partner, but who knew, Xenophilius had hurt her ruthlessly in the end, leaving her wounded.
At this moment, there were no feelings for him in Vivianna''s heart apart from hatred. To her,
Xenophilius was even more distant than a stranger.
Xenophilius looked her up and down. Vivianna at present was like a blooming flower. She was pure,
wless, and elegant. It was breathtaking!
"Xenophilius, let go!" Vivianna sounded icy. She pulled her arm away from hisrge palm and then
left the corridor instantly, but Xenophilius easily followed her in huge strides.
In four years'' time, Xenophilius had be wiser and more appealing. The Xenophilius now was
extremely wealthy with apletely different vibe than before. He stared at Vivianna''s retreating
figure as they headed downstairs back to the restaurant.
Vivianna took her bag from Linda and said, "Let''s get out of here, quick!"
Linda was surprised. Vivianna looked like she was running away from a disaster. "What''s wrong?"
Linda asked.
Vivianna replied hurriedly, "There is someone that I don''t want to see here."
In the end, she was still a little panicked. Vivianna thought that she could face this man calmly, but
his sudden appearance still manage to rile up her emotions.
Xenophilius followed her downstairs and was only a few steps behind. He looked at the slender
figure in front of him and was startled by what he saw. When Vivianna left back then, with nothing in
hand, he assumed that her life would be difficult from then on. However, the present Vivianna
exuded a sense of confident elegance.
In the past few years, Xenophilius did not dare to think about her as he felt ashamed when thinking
about Vivianna. As he rose in rank and nobility, he was gradually reminded of his shameful past. He
had thought ofpensating Vivianna for hurting her.
However, he didn''t do it because he couldn''t put down his ego.
Now that they''d met again, and he knew that she had returned to City A, his intention to
compensate Vivianna once again strengthened.
Linda looked back and noticed a tall man in a grey suit tailing her. His nce was fixated on
Vivianna, and she instantly knew who he was.
"Could it be... It''s her ex-husband?"
Xenophilius''s car happened to be in the direction Vivianna was walking to. Vivianna was eager to
leave him, so she swiftly took out her car key and unlocked the car. The white luxury sports car
beeped in response.
When Xenophilius saw Vivianna opening the door of the driver''s seat, his handsome face went into
a momentary shock. How could Vivianna drive such a high-end sports car?
Vivianna drove out of the carpark. When she passed by Xenophilius, his shocked expression
reflected onto the car window. When he saw her looking so sensual and sessful in a sportscar,
his heart was so bewitched that it went offbeat.
After they drove a few hundred meters away, Linda asked, "Was that your ex-husband?"

"Yes," Vivianna chuckled wryly.
"He looked like a well-dressed dog, acting like he''s human and all that!" Linda scoffed.
Vivianna sniped. She would never forget the way he looted her father''s shares from her and forced
her to sign it four years ago. She would never forget how malicious he looked then.
"However, Vivianna, you have quite a good friend here! Your ex-husband must be startled to see
this sports car! You''re not doing so bad at all, driving such an expensive sports car."
Vivianna gave a wry smile. Augustine''s icy face shed across her mind. Indeed, thanks to him, she
could now behave smugly in front of Jessamyn.
However, this man wanted to steal her son!
