Chapter 21


    Vivian forced herself to stay calm as she asked, “You’re going to the bathroom too, Mr. Hark?” “Of


    course not...” Mr. Hark slurred, scooting over to her. Vivian recoiled at the alcoholic stench that his body


    emitted. “I’m here for you...” Vivian almost puked at the sound of that. You’re here for me? You could


    almost be my father at this age! “That’s really funny, Mr. Hark,” Vivian said, giving him a strained smile.


    She put a hand against the wall and tried to walk towards thedies’ bathroom, only for him to grab her


    by the arm. “Hey, Ms. William... Don’t you like me?” Mr. Hark drawled. Of course not! Vivian resisted


    the urge to snap at him for the sake of her job. “Mr. Hark, you’re drunk.” “Haha! It doesn’t matter! I can


    still have my way with you!” Mr. Hark sneered, moving over to pin Vivian against the wall with hisrge


    belly. “I’ll show you just how good I am in bed!” Vivian red at him and started to struggle against him.


    “Hey! Watch your words, Mr. Hark!” Her struggling irritated Mr. Hark, and his smirk turned into a scowl.


    “Stop resisting, Vivian William! The Chief Editor practically handed you over to me!” It was as though

    an explosion had gone off in Vivian’s head, and she could only stare at Mr. Hark in shock and disbelief.


    “What do you mean?” “Stop pretending you don’t know!” Mr. Hark growled, pressing his face against


    hers. “The Chief Editor agreed to all of this, so you’re just a gift from the magazinepany. You’re


    mine now!” Vivian’s mind went nk, and her arms rxed out of grief, drooping to her sides. Fabian


    probably despises me for what happened two years ago, but why would he do something as


    despicable as this? Am I just a prostitute to him? Suddenly, Vivian looked up to see a familiar figure at


    the other end of the corridor. It’s Fabian! Fabian hade after her as he was concerned for her


    safety. He had been suspicious of Mr. Hark since he caught thetter eyeing Vivian throughout their


    meal, and his anxiety only mounted when Mr. Hark followed Vivian out just shortly after she left to go to


    the bathroom. The scene before him caught him off guard. Mr. Hark was practically squashing Vivian’s


    tiny frame against the wall, yet Vivian stayed still, as though she had given Mr. Hark permission to treat


    her as such. Fabian could feel his blood boil. Why the hell are you not resisting, Vivian William? Are


    you really the sl*t that I think you are? Do you have a fetish for old, slimy men like Mr. Hark? Fabian


    considered pulling Mr. Hark away from her, but herck of resistance disappointed him. What’s the


    point of helping you out? What if she does have a thing for those old geezers? Won’t I be ruining her


    fun if I intervened now? With that, Fabian turned around and left the scene without hesitating for even a


    second. As for Vivian, a glimmer of hope appeared when she caught sight of Fabian. There’s no way


    he would give his female subordinates to other people as gifts, even if he hates me! However, before


    she could open her mouth to scream for help, Fabian had already turned around and walked away.


    Boom! Thest sliver of hope Vivian had crumbled into a heap the moment she saw Fabian turn his


    back on her. Why would you do that, Fabian? Didn’t you see me just now? Why did you just walk


    away? Vivian shuddered. Maybe Mr. Hark is right... Maybe Fabian was the one who suggested this...


    She began to shake uncontrobly. How could you, Fabian? How could you? Suddenly, a revolting


    stench filled her nostrils, and she raised her head to see Mr. Hark pressing his lips against her face.


    “Ew! Get away from me!” she yelled, smacking him on the face with her hand and leaving a red


    handprint on his cheek. Unfortunately, it only angered him even further. “Vivian William!” he yelled,


    grabbing her by her hair roughly. “Do you still want your job in this industry?” Vivian scrunched her face


    up in fear and pain. When she noticed Mr. Hark raising his hand to p her, she squeezed her eyes


    shut and braced for the pain. However, the stinging pain never came. In fact, the next thing she knew,


    Mr. Hark gave a frightening yelp and pulled away from her. “M-Mr. Norton? Why are you here?”
