Chapter 141: Chapter 141

(Vivienne)

When I woke up in the morning. My eyes were stinging a little and rubbing them made things worse however I had to wake up and do something

"Good morning Miss I see you don't wanna get out of bed" my morning alarm greeted me as I stretched my arms above my head letting out a lazy yawn I leaned back to the headboard and nodded at Julia. I didn't feel like leaving the comfort of my bed knowing I was not wanted anywhere

"Yeah...so don't bother me please, "I said hoping she wouldn't bring up something like breakfast downstairs. She drew the curtains apart and opened the window. The bright sunlight sipped into my room like the scent of flowers accompanied by that wet morning fresh air had me exhaling and I called. Julia chuckled shaking his head as she walked back to my bed

"Well, I won't since the entire house is busy...I think you'll get to rest for some hours" she remarked while getting some clothes from the couch which were lying around and I was lost

"Is there a special occasion?"I asked to shift a little to get comfy and I held my belly and looked down to say a silent good morning to the baby. I smiled knowing I always did this whenever I woke up. Doctor Maverick and doctor Justin told me it was good for the baby and that the baby could hear my voice and if possible would be able to recognize me once it was born hence ever since that time. I talked to the baby even though it looked weird

"There's going to be a party later on... company anniversary...I thought you knew this," she said and walked to the closet. I was a fool to forget this when Monica had been reminding me about it. They were talking about this the other day and I was a fool not to pay attention

"That's nice...I'll stay here...not a fan of parties"I muttered rubbing my belly. It was best I didn't go. I wasn't part of the family, going there would only give me a headache and I didn't want that

"Oh...then Ms. Monica's dress will go to waste, "Julia remarked and walked back to my bed she glanced to the sides where the little sitting-room was and I followed her gaze, I saw a medium-sized white box. It would have been lovely if there was pizza in it but when she picked it up and brought it to me. I frowned and shrugged my shoulders

"She asked me to give you this too" Julia handed me a note and I took it hesitantly even though I wanted nothing to do with Monica. She insulted me and called me names and recalled the big fight we had. I didn't want to talk to her in any way

"Oh really...why don't you take this back and tell apologies don't come with insults, "I said with a frown when I read what was written on the note and tossed it away. She said something about me being reckless and always pushing her buttons to the limit to top it up she wrote I was a troublemaker and she had forgiven me for all the bad things I do

"Hahaha okay...but I think she doesn't hate you...she's more of an older sister figure…"Julia said with a chuckle and I felt guilty. Aside from Monica's tantrums and angry terms I felt embarrassed having g Julia around after what she saw and like she read my mind she stopped laughing and got serious

"Julia about the other…"I didn't even know how to say it. It was all Victor's fault that Julia walked into the room and found me like that. I mean what was I thinking, these days it seemed my body did the thinking not my brain because it was my brain. Then I wouldn't have ended up in Victor's bed later alone want more

"You don't have to say anything...you are a good girl and sir is...a good man...tell you what I'll keep the secret provided that…" she remarked with a smile and upon hearing what she was saying I frowned, not in the mood for blackmail. And I wasn't the type to be blackmailed

"You should go to the party...I'm sure sir will be happy" she added and I felt silly. Here I was thinking she would say something bad and well she went the opposite

"No he won't like it I'm sure he…"

"He asked about you this morning and told me to give you breakfast on time"Julia cut me off and said with a half-smile and I was startled. Victor asked about me. I recalled being angry at him that I ended up throwing him out of my room but now I felt stupid

"Alright go on...I still have to do something about my face and hair" I said, shoving her aside since she was half sitting on the bed with her hand resting on my thigh. She smiled and moved away

"Okay Ms. I'll be here if you need me", just like that Julia left my room and I was back to square one

"I need to appease the grumpy man or forever hold my peace... Vivienne, it's time to get beautiful" I said dramatically and shoved the blanket off my body, and crawled out of bed. I was doomed for this but I had to fix my hair and make it beautiful before evening and I had it all covered with Cassy's beauty products

"This will do, "I said immediately as I was out of the shower and wore shorts and a loose shirt. Wore some house slippers and dragged the big black bag Cassy gave me back then saying. It would help me if I wanted my face to glow or shine hence I decided to go to the garden

**

Like Julia had said the house was quiet. There was no Castro, no Kyan, and certainly no grumpy man or Monica. I smiled knowing I would have a good time by myself in the garden and I did

"Good morning" I greeted the two security guards who always stood by the entrance door. They nodded at me and I proceeded my way. I was feeling energetic and my wet hair fell to my shoulders in waves blowing around as the wind got even more

"Okay so what to do,'' I said and dropped the bag on the table and I sat down. The garden was peaceful and hidden. The brown knitted garden chairs were beautiful since there was a big hut to rest or relax in, the hut was surrounded by vibrant bright flowers which smelled delightful. The floor was all white tiles and amazingly good. The day was bright and I was happy as I took a towel, draped my wet hair on my front, and started drying it. Of course, I was going to be here for a long time hence I worked from the scalp and traveled all the way down

"Casey will laugh but I have no choice...I don't want Moni to say I look awful" I said and flipped my hair to the sides and smiled like a child when I took the bottles of hair products from the bag and set them on the table in a straight line. I had to put the face products together and the hair products together

"This and this...what's this"I counted but stopped when I spotted a pink bottle "face mask" I muttered putting it away and I knew I would use it for my face

While Vivienne was showcasing cute beautiful scenery in the garden. The man in the room above her was standing by the window holding the curtains between his fingers as he looked at the girl sitting down as a child. He couldn't help but stand there admiring her. She looked simple and the way she was drying her hair had him thinking

"Trouble" Victor murmured as a smile broke on his face, his lips quivered upwards knowing his morning was already a good one. He was supposed to be upset that she threw him out of her room but seeing her now. She was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen

"Ahem...so are you gonna watch her all day or what"his view was interrupted by Leo's annoying voice but even still Victor stood there and took a few glimpses of his Surrogate before he turned around

"What?" he asked in a sarcastic way which had Leo frowning

"Well I came here a while ago to inform you that I'm bringing my car here to check it, "Leo said with narrowed eyes not believing Victor had become so shameless as to watch Vivienne secretly but it was cute because it made it seem like teenage love where the male crush watches the female crush pass by his classroom window

"And what does that have to do with me?"Victor said sarcastically as he walked back to his bed and finished getting ready. Leo shrugged and scanned his friend from head to toe and exhaled heavily

"This is awkward coming from you but I'll be on my way" saying that Leo walked out of Victor's room because he had more important things to do than watch a man in love stalk the woman he loved.

Victor stopped what he was doing and reached his hand for his chest, specifically his heart area, and his heart was beating rapidly.
