Chapter 111: Chapter 111
(Vivienne)
Maybe I was being a little paranoid thinking about Victor. He was in danger earlier and all I thought about was that he was with a woman. Looking at him I saw how tired he looked. Although he was trying to hide it.
"This wasn't necessary," Victor said as he scanned the file I gave him. He looked up and I couldn't help but be concerned with him
"It is...you didn't eat anything...please eat something" I muttered and shoved the lunch pack to his side. He scanned the blue bag on his desk for a while then looked up at me
"I'm not hungry...plus I'm going out," he said and averted his eyes from me. I frowned not sure why he was refusing me when I wanted this
"Are you not hungry or maybe you just don't want to?"I asked and shoved the lunch pack to his side. He shook his head and fixed his eyes on the computer
"Why...Julia said you...you didn't have breakfast" I lashed out, not sure why he didn't take care of himself properly. I asked his servants if their boss ate any breakfast before he left but they told me he never did. Ever since his wife died, Victor stopped having breakfast only at times but even so, he didn't finish it
"Ms. Payton, I don't have time for breakfast...it's wasting time," he said and continued his work. I was stunned how he replied if breakfast was an enemy or it would affect his millions if he spared a few minutes to eat it
"What? Sir but breakfast is the most important meal of the day...you need to eat now"I remarked surprised that he would even say such a thing. I tolerated the fact that after four months of staying with him. He was rude and arrogant, and thought he was a god. He glanced at me and his expression was a serious one
"Did you come all the way here for this?" he asked arching his brows at me and I smiled and sat down gracefully
"Yes I was bored...that's why...tell me are you going out?"I asked, seeing how he was busy getting files on his desk. He paused and looked at me again. His brows knitted together as if he didn't like what I said
"Yes...the driver is waiting for you...go" he said seriously and I frowned and rose from the chair. Why was he chasing me away? I came to see him because I missed him
"Let me...tie it, "I said and rushed to his side. He wanted to wear his necktie. I guessed he was going out
"Ms. Payton...I…"Victor started but I shoved his hands away and took the red tie in his hands. I moved closer to him although he was taller than me.
"I'll do it"I whispered and looked at him with a warm smile. He nodded and watched as I started my work. Tying a necktie wasn't so hard, I simply raised his shirt collar and draped the necktie around his neck, and secured it
"I know how to do this...it's easy, "I remarked, smiling and concentrating on the task at hand. raise the shirt collar and drape the tie around the neck, so the wide end is on the right side and extends about 12 inches below the narrow end.
I crossed the wide part of the tie over the narrow part. Pulled the wide end up through the opening at the neck, then down.
"Where did you learn how to do this?"Victor murmured in a low voice and I looked up at him and smiled faintly as I passed the wide end underneath and to the right of the narrow part with the wrong side facing out.
"I learned it myself...back in the third grade,we used to wear...white shirt and a small blue skirt...the headmistress used to chase me out of class because I didn't wear a tie"I explained how I learned how to tie on my own. When we were back at the orphanage, we used to do things on our own hence I learned by myself. "It's easy" I added and crossed the tie over and to the left of the narrow part with the correct side facing out
"You are remarkable", surprisingly Victor said softly and reached for my face. I was startled when he cupped the sides of my face and raised my head by my chin. I didn't know why he said that when it was just a simple issue. It wasn't like I saved the world
"I'm not...it's…"I muttered, feeling uncomfortable at how close he was to me. His gaze was soft and held so much. I paused with what I was doing and tried to lower my gaze from him
"Ms. Payton...you surprise me" he muttered and caressed my cheeks. I didn't know what to say when his touch did strange things to me. By now my heart was racing rapidly especially when he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer
"Why did you come here?" he asked, looking straight into my eyes. I didn't look away but fixed my gaze on him. The tie loosened and he removed it from his neck.
"I missed you" I muttered and reached for his face and caressed him. His beard felt so good running my fingers through it. His hand cupped my cheeks and caressed lovingly.
My eyes lifted to look at him, he wasn't shocked by my words. I hated hiding what I felt from him and when he held my hand, I shivered and ended up hugging him instead as my head rested on his hard chest and my arms wrapped around his body. It felt good to be in his arms even if he didn't hug me back. My eyes closed as I exhaled heavily, breathing was a little hard especially when he leaned down to my neck and rubbed his face on my shoulder. His arms wrapped around my body and I relaxed when he pulled me to him
"Mm" I moaned loving the feeling which circulated in my body, the warm fuzzy feeling of butterflies in my stomach intensified making me to tightening my grip around him
"Ms. Payton this is wrong you know that"he whispered and moved his hand to my neck, he was teasing me when he knew resisting the greatest temptation of having him close to me. I would be considered a fool if I said I didn't want to be in his arms. And feeling his body was what I wanted
"I'm your Surrogate...I'm allowed to do what I want...you can't stop me"I mumbled and moved away from his embrace but he didn't let me go. We stared at each other for a while and I saw a flicker of amusement in his eyes. He was trying to control himself when I wanted him to lose control. His piercing gaze had my knees going weak and when he leaned down to my face.
"Vi...the driver is here," Victor said softly and gestured towards the door. I didn't know if to be surprised that the driver was in the office without me knowing or the fact that he said my name, not just my name, he called me Vi. My heart danced knowing this was the first time he actually addressed me by my name and I smiled still looking at him.
"Send him away... you'll drive me home," I remarked, still smiling. I knew I was being childish and rushing things between us but I couldn't help it when the feelings within me couldn't let me be. I tried to ignore Victor. I didn't want to feel anything for him because he was older than me but I just couldn't
"I'm heading out Ms. Payton..I'm supposed to meet my friends at the bar, "he said and I saw how he gestured with his head and I heard the door closed and I knew the driver left
"So…"
"You should go... I'll take time to go home... you'll get bored coming with me,'' he said with a serious expression and stroked my chin and again leaned to plant a kiss on my forehead. I loved it when he did that because I closed my eyes automatically and welcomed his warm lips on my forehead. His kisses were something I wanted and needed and when his soft lips touched my skin. An electric shiver ran through my body stirring everything I didn't know I could feel ever in my life resurfaced causing me to whimper
"Okay…"I didn't even waste time as I moved away from him. Walked to get my purse and didn't even look back as I walked to the day. I was furious with him if he didn't know. I wanted to go with him but he just refused me
"Ms. Payton, wait!"I heard him call out to me when I left the office but I angrily slammed the door shut and strode away towards the elevator. He was a fool to think I'd beg him to take me home
He was a jerk and I hated him. I pressed the elevator door and it opened.
"I'm such a fool" I muttered and walked in and only when I turned around and the doors closed did I see Victor rushing to me. But it was too late because the elevator was already going down.
