Vivian, he thought, was trying to get him to take her.
“Well, is that okay?” Vivian nodded, staring at him with eyes full of anticipation.
“No, no, no, no, no, absolutely not, really.”
Danny hastily waved his hands in refusal, the hands waving so hard you could see heavy shadows. “You might as well wait for Morris toe over.”
“Yeah, that’s fine.”
Vivian nodded.
She looked at the time and it was already eleven thirty p. m. Vivian immediately pouted at Danny, “Danny, can you order me a takeaway? I’m hungry.”
The little woman pursed her lips and looked so pitiful that her heart felt pity.
Danny was a soft-hearted person, and seeing Vivian in such a desperate state, he couldn’t bear it, so he asked, “What do you want to eat? I’ll order it for you.”
Up to now he couldn’t understand what the secret was between Morris and Vivian.
Or, what was it that Morris was hiding from Vivian that he had not told her.N?velDrama.Org ? 2024.
When would the two of them end up loving each other like this?
“I don’t know.”
Vivian dropped her head with a frustrated and dishevelled sigh, “A bite to eat will do. … I haven’t eaten in a day or two.”
It was a good thing Vivian had been smart enough to get herself an ount abroad, and thepany’s earnings were transferred directly to an ount abroad, so Morris wouldn’t find out.
And she really didn’t have much money in her entire body at the moment, so it wasn’t too much of a stretch to say that.
“Haven’t eaten in a day or two?”
Danny’s hand on his phone gave a slight beat, looking at her with sympathy in his eyes.
“Yeah, I’ll just order you some food.”
Then he sat down in the executive chair at his desk and sent a message to Morris.
“What’s going on between you and Vivian?”
“I know you still have her on your mind, is there anything you can’t say to her face?”
“Vivian can’t find a job right now and hasn’t eaten for a day or two.”
“She can’t even eat with no money in her hand. What is going on that you can treat her so harshly in spite of everything?”
It was because the two were brothers that Danny found Morris’ way of doing things a little extreme and uneptable.
He, on the other hand, knew that Morris liked Vivian and was just trying to advise Morris that if he had something to hide, he shouldn’t treat her like that.
Danny sits at his desk, a long way away from Vivian.
Vivian senses Danny’s distancing and doesn’t mind, but leans back on the sofa and ys a game.
After the game was over, the food delivery guy arrived, along with … Morris!
The food was brought in and ced on the table one by one, “Mr. Danny, your meal is ready, please enjoy it.”
“Okay, thanks.”
Danny gave a slight jowl and said to Vivian, “Hurry up and eat if you’re hungry.”
“Thank you, Danny,” Vivian said, not having had much of an appetite this morning, and now she was really hungry.
But as she picked up her chopsticks to eat, she heard Danny say, “Morris, you’re here atst.”
Morris?
At the sound of his name, Vivian’s hand gave a slight pause as she held her chopsticks, not looking up, but eating as she pleased.
Morris was dressed in a ck shirt, his sleeves pulled up to his elbows, his short hair well-groomed, his deep, three-dimensional face chilled with coldness, giving him an air of unruffled authority.
His brow furrowed slightly, he walked into the office and saw Vivian sitting in the break room eating.
She was crouched at a low table, eating with chopsticks, looking like someone who hadn’t eaten in a long time.
For a moment, his heart fluttered and he began to feel sorry for her.
But on second thought, he had just received a text message from Danny on the road, and even Danny could see that he was putting on a show, so how could anyone else believe that his every word and deed was true?
So, he decided, chill out to the end.
“What did you call me over for?”
Morris walked to the table, took a cigarette out of the box and lit it, his cold eyes nced at Vivian who was sitting in the lounge area, his sharp gaze wandered to Danny, “Danny, although you and I are brothers, you should know my nature to say one thing and do another.”
His seriousness made Danny a little confused, wondering if Morris was putting on a show again, or if he was really angry.
“What do you mean?” He asked.
Morris leaned against his desk and raised his finger to point at Vivian who was eating, “I announced to the public a week ago that anyone who dares to take Vivian in is an enemy of mine. You …”
There was a deliberate pause in the words, then a tilt of the head to Danny, “Can’t understand me?”
His angr, handsome face wasden with shadowy air, as if he wasn’t joking, so serious that Danny muttered inside.
What the fuck?
What the hell is going on here?
What am I going to do?
Vivian ignored Morris’ presence and was eating the fish and tofu with her chopsticks in hand, but after taking a bite of the fish and tofu, she heard Morris’ merciless wordse out.
That was the moment that caused a sharp pain in her heart, a pain that was like a knife cutting through her heart, a pain that was felt in all her limbs.
For the sake of Lisa, did he really have to be so cruel?
“Morris, no matter what problems you have with Vivian. But you have to be clear, she is your god-sister, do Madame Cheal know that you are doing this?”
Danny was a little helpless and had to bring Madame Cheal out of the woodwork.
“Hmm. A Cindere from the hills, you really think Grandma will take her seriously? Don’t forget, The Cheal family, I call the shots.”
Morris raised an eyebrow, holding the butt of his cigarette and flicking the ashes into the ashtray with contempt in his eyes.
“Huh.”
Vivianughed.
She nced sideways, at Morris, and then at Danny, “See, Danny, I told you, I’m desperate now, so I’vee to join you. I wonder, would you like to take me in?”
What kind of love did he have for Lisa to make him act so ruthlessly that he would cut her off?
“This …” Danny was in a bit of a quandary as he reached up and scratched his hair, “I’d better make a call to Madame Cheal.”
This time, Morris didn’t stand in the way.
Danny called Madame Cheal and when the call was answered, Danny exchanged pleasantries before cutting to the chase, “Grandma, do you know about Vivian and Morris?”
“Oh, don’t mention that brat to me. I reprimanded him when he came back, but he didn’t listen to me. I’m getting old and I don’t have the authority to speak. But you, Danny, must help Vivian, she’s very poor.”
On the phone, Madame Cheal sighs, disappointed with Morris.
