Chapter 130: Chapter 130

(Vivienne)

"Morning morning morning Monica," I said with cheers as soon as I entered the dining room and hugged Monica who was sitting at the dining table busy having her breakfast

"What's gotten into you?" she said with some irritation in her voice and shrugged me away. I didn't move away but tightened my grip even more until I annoyed her even more

"Nothing," I remarked with a half-grin and she frowned even more

"Then why are you wearing makeup?" she asked again. This time her eyes were narrowed slightly and like a fool I reached for my face and shrugged

"This is my natural skin...I'm naturally beautiful" I said with giggles and tightened my grip around her. She smelled so wonderful and she was not happy

"Okay...Well let go of me!" she lashed out and used enough of her strength to shrug me away and I happily moved away from her and pulled out a chair and sat down and slammed my phone to my side

"Aww, breakfast...I want everything today" I squealed, rubbing my hands together as my eyes widened in delight seeing all the delicious food on the table. Monica looked at me disdainfully

"What's gotten into you...did you happen to…" she asked with a frown and ate more of her omelet. I didn't mind or care what she thought because I was so happy

"I was singing with the birds okay...I'm feeling fine" I remarked and took bread toast and stretched my hand to get some water. Monica didn't stop staring at me one bit just as Julia walked in

"Didn't you have breakfast already?" she asked arching her brow at me and with my mouthful I shook my head rapidly

"Nope…I slept in late…"I answered and enjoyed my breakfast

"Yes, Ms...I didn't give her breakfast in her room"Julia defended me and I snapped my hands agreeing with her. Monica scoffed disdainfully and I giggled and stole some of her vegetable salad. She was looking so pretty in the morning

"She's trouble" I heard Monica say but I didn't pay attention to her and ate my food. Shortly my phone vibrated and I sucked it up without even looking at it and brought it to my front

("Up yet")a message came from the man I saved under the grumpy name and immediately my happiness flared up as I smiled nearly choking but I coughed a little and put the glass cup down and started typing to reply to him

("Yeah...any problem")I texted back and giggled and put my phone down. I didn't know he would text me which was overwhelming

"And why are you smiling so much huh?"Monica asked and by now I was grinning like a cat as my phone vibrated again, this time twice which proved two more messages came.

("Ms. Payton do I have to have a problem to check up on you")it was Victor who sent the message and my eyes narrowed as I bit my lower lip thinking about a reply to give to him. I was troubled as I fisted my hair, not sure what to tell him next. Since when did he take interest in chatting with me wasn't he supposed to be working

"Why are you frowning so much...is the food not good?" again Monica asked me with narrowed eyes and I shook my head and fixed my eyes on the phone thinking about words to reply to Victor. How come I had nothing to say to him

"Julia, can you make extra lunch today... Victor will be receiving guests...and Vivie you should also be there" Monica suddenly said, jerking me back to my senses and I looked at her with a weird expression. She didn't seem happy with my reaction judging by her frown

"Yes, you...I'll start making arrangements" she said, taking out her phone and starting doing whatever it was and I was stuck. For the first time,e I felt muddleheaded

"I'll go out to get some fresh air in the garden," I said, getting up and walking out of the dining room. So much for wanting to chat with Victor. I made my way towards the entrance/exit still thinking about what to say.

"Hey doll" I stopped when someone grabbed my arm and looked up I smiled seeing

"Sir...I mean Castro...I thought you left"I said nervously and moved away from his grip. He was looking fresh not in a suit but sportswear. And he was still around. I spent half the night talking to him and he was one funny man

"Well I'm still here...I'm going for a ride...come with me," he said with a charming smile and again grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the house. I couldn't help but laugh, not sure why he was so different from Victor. Unlike Victor Castro was jovial

"But I'm not so dressed okay," I said laughing once we got outside and saw a white sports car parked by the entrance. The day was beautiful and sunny and I loved the fresh breeze and the beautiful flowers shimmering

"But you look fine to me…" he said with a small frown scanning me from head to toe. Yes, I was wearing a dress with simple slippers with my hair down. I was only hiding hickeys Victor gave me

"Okay fine...but don't drive so fast...I'm scared of dying"I said with a small pout and Castro chuckled and reached his hand for my cheeks and pinched me cutely

"You look, cute sweetheart...I'd rather die than let anything happen to you" he beamed and winked at me playfully before he guided me to the car. I shook my head smiling at his weird behavior and got in the car just as another car drove in and I recognized it at once

"You'll be in big trouble...better bring her back!!" it was Leo who shouted in between laughter as he parked his car and Castro laughed as he took the driver's seat and gave Leo a middle finger

"Sorry...he just gets on my nerves" he turned to look at me with a pout and remarked apologetically and I just shrugged and played with my phone and he drove away and we left the mansion.

****

"Hi sir" Julia greeted Leo who was in a hurry rushing upstairs Leo just waved her off and ascended the stairs. He didn't even reach for it when he bumped into Monica scattering the files she had in her hands and she was not happy

"For fuck's sake look where…" she lashed out as she pushed her hair back to scold the person who was careless enough to bump into her in broad daylight

"Does it hurt?"Leo asked softly and grabbed her by the shoulders and started inspecting her face. Monica's anger vanished upon seeing him hence she shook her head and tried to get out of his hold

"I'm...I'm fine" she muttered feeling awkward. She preferred not to see him after what happened a few days ago. She was a bad person "Leo it's best if…" she started but Leo shut her up and smashed his lips on hers gripping her face tightly as he initiated a kiss. Monica didn't want to kiss him back but his mouth was insistent as his tongue did wonders and before she knew it. She responded to him and welcomed his warm mouth, sucking on his lips as they moved in unison. Her hands moved to his neck and she pushed herself to him trying to get as close to his warm body as possible. Leo saw through her desperation hence he moved his arms to her back and pressed her firmly

"Mmm...Leo...that's enough" she moaned but soon managed to pry his mouth away from her and she rested her hand on her mouth doing everything to keep her breathing stable. He looked wild and his eyes were lustful and she knew he was in the mood

"I came to get some files Victor left, "Leo said with shortened breaths but looked collected. Monica moved away from him and pointed to the floor showing him all the files scattered around

"I was about to bring them"saying that she turned around and was about to walk away when Leo spoke

"You didn't tell him…" he said and Monica turned around not sure what to say to him.

"We shouldn't see each other...think about others, don't be selfish," she said, knowing he was old enough to understand. Without wasting time she left there feeling guilty once more. What was she doing?

Meanwhile, Victor wasn't concentrating on anything. From time to time he glanced at his phone hoping to get a reply from his Surrogate but so far nothing. He was troubled that Jason who was busy telling him about a few things he had to do was just making noise

"Sir...this is it"Jason finished up quickly, not sure why his boss was distracted. He looked furious and that scared him

"Jason...tell me...are you married?"Victor asked as he looked up at his assistant and leaned his back to his chair. His question came so sudden that Jason was having a hard time replying to him. He was hesitant as he tried to find any hidden meaning but chose to answer anyway

"Y...yes sir," he said and Victor nodded with a straight face

"Send a message to your wife right now, "Victor remarked gesturing for him to do as told and Jason was troubled as he looked at his boss for a while then retrieved his phone from his pocket

"Sir...what…"

"Send any message...greet her or whatever"Victor cut him off and Jason fought to punch in the password as sweat dripped down his forehead. He had no idea what was happening but he searched for his wife's number and sent her a message

"Done sir" he said as soon as he sent it and Victor nodded before he could say anything. Jason's phone vibrated not just once but multiple times showing he was receiving plenty of messages. He was stunned but decided to check and of course, his wife sent so many messages at once that all of them were lovely and naughty. He felt helpless as a small smile tugged at the corners of his lips

"Sir...I…" he started saying but didn't know what to do as he looked up at his boss and Victor was angry. For a second Jason thought he was going to be fired and switched to begging

"Sir...I'm sorry...once I send her any messages she doesn't stop replying...sir don't fire me... I'll switch off my phone right away " he pleaded to fold his hands seeing the deadly expression on his boss's face but Victor just waved him off

"Go and prepare for the meeting"

"T...thank, you sir," Jason said relieved that he war, ed and turned to walk out and answered his wife's calls

"Stop it okay...I sent it by mistake and I'm fine" he whispered as he opened the door and closed it. Of course, Victor was furious. He glanced at his phone and it was an hour and his Surrogate didn't reply to him

"She's testing my patience"  he mumbled as anger flashed in his eyes. Did she know who he was to ignore his message? How dare she take time to reply to him when he took the initiative to talk to her.
