Chapter 65: Chapter 65

(ViVienne)

I didn't think Victor would allow me to be his maid but when I received a private text message from him saying I was hired as his helper. I was shocked that I couldn't stop smiling. I was so thrilled that living in his house was even better. I wasn't only his surrogate but I could work as well and the thought of it brought a smile to my face

After he left, I rushed back to his room just to arrange everything

I hummed to a tune as I arranged his bed. I haven't felt so free before as I put away his files. I was glad he wasn't so hard on me for spending his money on something useless as he called it

To me, it wasn't useless and I was willing to make sure he didn't have to worry about anything

I didn't like the way I saw him the first time we met, he seemed like a good man despite his cold nature. I guessed his wife's death was so sudden for him to be so heartbroken

"Before nine months I'll make sure you smile sir," I said to Victor's photo which I found on the nightstand. He was in a black suit and there was a small smile on his face even saw his professional aura was still there

I smiled as I walked to the bed and sat down still holding the frame. I was delighted to look at him. What was he like when happy. Did he laugh so much that tears fell from his eyes? What would bring a smile to his face

This was my weakness, I didn't have to be happy to be content but seeing others happy was what made me smile. I saw Victor, he had a lot of sadness in his eyes so mysterious that I found him quite intriguing

"Look here, sir...I know I cause a lot of problems but that's the Vivie way...I add spices to your life making it exciting" I said to the picture with a smile on my face and stared at him for a while. He had everything he ever needed, I thought having luxuries made people happy. No matter the pain they went through as long as they had everything they ever needed, they were happy but why was he sad despite everything he had? I sighed heavily and prepared to put the frame back unfortunately just then the door flew open startling me as I missed where to put it and it fell on the floor

"Oh no"I muttered and quickly prepared to pick it up afraid that Victor had come and would throw a fit but to my surprise, before I could touch the glass pieces someone held my hand midair and when I looked up it was Leo who was on one knee. He looked like he had just come from taking a shower seeing his wet hair. The sweet scent of bath soap and shaving cream

"Don't...don't touch this... you'll get hurt" he mumbled as he gripped me and pulled me up. I smiled as I moved away from the broken glass and he let go of me

"So...you are his surrogate?" he asked in a low soft voice as if he was asking himself as he awkwardly rubbed his hands together and I scratched my neck and nodded.

"Leo...I…"I was about to say as I looked at him but he cut me off when he grabbed me by the waist and pulled me in a hug surprising me as a small gasp left my lips as the man caged me in his arms

"Thanks...thanks for everything...I'm glad you came" he muttered as he rubbed his hands on my back and I was confused why he said that. Leo and I knew each other from a past incident that happened a few months back. Although our meeting wasn't that intriguing I still met him a few times and now it was shocking that he turned out to be Victor's best friend

"Oh so now you say thank you," I said with a scoff and pried him away from me. He was being a baby as if he wasn't older than me. I laughed and extended my hand reaching it to his hair and messed it up a little. He chuckle and grabbed my hand and pulled it down

"Well you are troublesome...but I owe you my life...for a little while you are quite brave and to think you are pregnant," he said as he held both my hands in his and we stood face to face. Leo was a spoiled man, he was 29 years old but acted like he was 19 or 20. The last time we met was when my team won the first international game. Our coach was so happy that he asked the school to take us to a private hotel to have fun.

I was thrilled to go there but it turned out that rich people were having a party too although in different places. Accidentally I entered the party which was for Leo. I crushed his party and we ended up fighting. I insulted him and called him a lousy celebrity

It was funny how he and I fought so much. Later I went back to my friends but then grew tired of dancing hence I decided to go out for some fresh air that's when I saw Leo getting dragged by some thugs

"Yeah yeah...plus you paid for it so no big deal, "I said with laughter recalling how he troubled me the entire night. He was drunk and talkative, the men had beaten him so much that but the time I rescued him. He was nearly lifeless. It was shocking how I crazily threatened the thugs, tied them up, and took him away from the warehouse after stealing the thug's car

"Anyway, you are a sweetheart...I'm glad Victor was wise enough to choose you as his surrogate...you are like a little sister" he said with a smile and caressed my face, I smiled as he pulled me to him and planted a kiss on my forehead which made me giggle unfortunately that was a mistake

"How could you!" A Stern high pitched female said echoing throughout the room that startled me as I moved away from Leo and looked towards the door and found Monica standing there

"So is this what you do huh...it didn't work with Victor and now…"Monica said bitterly as she walked to us. She seemed angry and her facial expression was something that made me wonder what she thought. Leo didn't move away from me but turned to face Monica. She glared at me and turned her cold gaze at me

"Monica learn to mind your own business," Leo said sarcastically but Monica was too angry to even her sharp eyes looked piercing

"You and this shameless girl doing who knows what in Victor's room... aren't you ashamed, Leonardo?" she said disdainfully and my eyes widened in shock. What did she think of me? Yes, the situation she found me in was compromising but Leo and I were just friends. He considered me as his little sister so why would Monica think we had something going on

"This is too much...I'm not that kind of girl" I lashed out, forgetting that she was older than me. She had no right to question my character just because she didn't like me

"Victor will hear about this...you are a shameless girl and you Leo he trusts you enough to let you stay here...so disgusting, "Monica said shifting her gaze from Leo to me. I was about to say something when she flipped her hair like a boss and stormed out of our presence. I was irritated as I prepared to follow her hut Leo stopped me

"Don't bother...she's like this...even if you plead with her...she won't act nice…" he stopped me from going and I looked at him suspiciously "come I heard you didn't eat enough...let's go" he held my hand and dragged me away from there. I hoped Monica didn't tell Victor anything. I didn't want him to think so bad of me.
