Never Late, Never Away Chapter 533
It seemed like half of Evelyn’s plan had succeeded by now. At the very least, Hunter’s interest in Vivian was piqued. Hunter was the kind who would do anything to get the woman he laid eyes on.
Maintaining his gentlemanly demeanor, Hunter politely asked, “What would the two ladies like to eat?” However, his gaze remained fixed on Vivian, who sat opposite him.
“I’m fine with anything. What about you, Vivian?” Evelyn queried in faked concern.
“I’ll have the same as you.” Hunter’s burning gaze on her made the hair on the back of her neck rose, and all she wanted was to leave as soon as she was done with the meal.
While they ate, Hunter and Evelyn chatted away merrily, but Vivian barely spoke. She only muttered a few replies whenever they turned to ask her questions, making it seem as if she was haughty.
Vivian’s disinterest was apparent to Hunter, but instead of dissuading him, his need to win reared its ugly head. To Hunter, the more challenging the woman was, the better she was.
Just as the long-suffering meal was over and Vivian thought she could leave, Hunter suggested going to a bar. Naturally, Evelyn agreed to it, but Vivian excused herself by telling them she had things to attend to. She could not endure a second longer around them.
“How is she? Are you confident in winning her over?” Evelyn smirked at Hunter after Vivian departed.
“Of course.” Hunter shrugged as a grin crawled onto his face. “I’ve never met a woman I can’t deal with.”
The smirk on Evelyn’s face grew wider when she heard Hunter’s response. “I hope you’re not lying about that.” Vivian, you’ll never get the chance to win as long as you’re up against me.
While she was driving back, Vivian thought about the events in the afternoon. It seemed like Evelyn’s aim was to introduce her to Hunter.
Although she did not know what Evelyn’s motives were, Vivian knew well that it would not be anything good. Thus, she reminded herself to be extra cautious if she ever met up with Hunter again.
The next few days, Vivian returned to her normal schedule. She sent Larry to school before heading to work at Morrison Group. After her work, she would then pick Larry up and bring him home. Days went by leisurely.
