Chapter 289
Although Eden and Victor went downstairs without saying a word, Victor still enjoyed the quiet moments with Eden.
They arrived at the entrance of the building one after the other. Eden asked, "Victor, you said that the woman you had been waiting for has returned. Why didn't you go and find her but come to me for comfort instead?"
Victor looked sideways at her and asked with an evil smile, "Eden, why do you want me to find her?" He actually came to find her every day.
"I..." Eden wanted to speak but stopped on second thought. Why did she bring this up?
She looked at him and saw that he was smiling brightly and his black eyes were unusually charming.
She would definitely be mesmerized by him if she was a young girl who had just been exposed to love.
She might even be so involved that she could not get out of it.
It was a pity that she had lost the adorable behavior since long ago.
"Eden, what's wrong? Don't you want to talk about it?" He looked at her with great spirit. He knew what she was actually thinking.
"Ah..." Eden slipped suddenly and she fell backwards. Victor reacted quickly and held her. Eden fell into Victor's arms because of gravity.
This scene happened so suddenly that Eden was completely stunned.
She looked down and saw half of a banana peel not far away from her.
Eden said angrily, "Who is so unethical to throw the banana peel on the road?"
If it weren't for Victor, she would have fallen down and injured her waist.
Eden was in his arms and her fragrant scent lingered at the tip of his nose. Victor's eyes darkened suddenly and he asked in a hoarse voice, "Eden, are you all right?"
He wished he could hold on to her forever.
It was the first time he was so close to her. He had a feeling that he could never let her go.
Eden suddenly realized that she was in Victor's arms. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
She could feel the tip of his nose and his hot breath on the top of her head. She was enveloped with his fragrant and unique scent.
"I'm fine." Eden quickly got out from Victor's embrace and regained her balance. She lowered her head and did not look at Victor.
It was not that she was afraid of Victor but she could feel a complicated emotion spreading in her heart at the moment.
Victor was sad when Eden got out from his embrace.
He smiled and looked at Eden who had lowered her head. She was innocent and lovely. Her face looked pink in her pink home wear, making Victor want to kiss her.
Her slightly open collar revealed her sexy collarbone, causing Victor to leave a deep impression on it. Her fair and smooth skin was very enticing!
Victor's throat tightened slightly and his limbs seemed to be numbed. He didn't want to leave.
Both of them were very close to each other. Eden could clearly feel Victor's hot breath.
She took a small step forward before she turned around and looked at Victor. There was warmth in his dark eyes and he looked completely different from his usual cold self.
She blushed suddenly and whispered, "Mr. Alwynn, good night."
After that, she turned and went upstairs. She swallowed back all the words she wanted to say after the incident.
Victor turned around and watched her back slowly disappear. In the distance, a black shadow also left quickly.
Victor stood downstairs for a very long time. He only moved his stiff legs and left when the lights of Eden' s apartment were switched off.
He smiled faintly and he looked noble and dazzling under the street lights.
Eden took out her other phone and sent a text message to Bethany after Kenneth and Henrick were asleep.
"A life for a life!" She turned off her phone after she sent the message.
Bethany had sent a lot of messages to her, asking her who she was and what she wanted to do. However, Eden ignored all of the messages.
Her main purpose was to find out where she had been knocked down by the car.
She would not ask Bethany that at the moment because Bethany would not tell her that.
She could only wait patiently.
Bethany had been very restless the past few days. She felt very uneasy whenever the text message notification tone she had specially set rang.
She stared at her phone that was on the white tea table.
She grabbed the phone in a panic and became more flustered when she saw the few words in the text message.
"Who is it? Who actually knows what had happened in the past?" Bethany muttered on the sofa and was lost in her thoughts.
Eden brought Ricky to the company the next morning.
She realized that everyone was talking about her when she entered the company.
Eden looked at the people around her in confusion.
All of them were holding phones in their hands. They would look at her and bow their heads to communicate by sending messages to each other.
Eden was anxious and she suddenly realized something.
Henrick also noticed that the people around him were staring at Eden.
He narrowed his large and clear eyes slightly.
"Vo! Isn't this Director Bleu? You are indeed shameless to bring your son to work during the day after you seduced Mr. Alwynn at night." Myra spoke in a sharp tone as she gloated.
Eden stopped and looked at Myra coldly. "Did you eat garlic in the morning? Your breath stinks."
Myra didn't get angry. She smiled mockingly instead. "Director Bleu, don't you want to look at your phone? You're already in the headlines."
Eden took out her phone from her bag when she heard that. She unlocked her phone and she saw a magnified picture of Victor holding her in front of her apartment building when she slipped last night.
Even though the photo was quite dim, Victor's face was clear in the photo.
There was a paragraph below the photo and the words used were vulgar and vicious.
All the comments at the bottom were blatantly scolding Eden.
"Hehe..." She smiled coldly. She didn't expect that some people would go to her place to take photos of her just to make her suffer.
She looked at Myra disdainfully. Haven who was wearing a white dress, stood behind Myra. She was standing there and watching the show quietly.
Eden glanced oddly at Haven when she thought of the conversation she had overheard yesterday.
"Myra, you're the one who did this, aren't you?" She looked at Myra coldly.
"Yo! You said that my breath smells but you are not any better than me. Are you going to put the blame on someone without proof?" Myra looked at Eden fearlessly.
Eden smiled faintly and said in a distant and indifferent tone, "I believe Mr. Alwynn will find out the person behind this soon.
Mr. Alwynn and I are just friends. He held me when I slipped down at that time. The banana peel is clearly in the photo.
As you know, many media dared not to simply report anything about Mr. Alwynn. Someone had made up stories about last night's incident. I believe you know what would happen to the Gienger family if you really have something to do with this.
Myra, don't mess with me. I, you can't afford to do that!"
