Spencer's POV:
Nicole had brought along with her large group of young lady friends to Mint Bar.
Vivian, being the heartless woman she was, left me in Nicole's mercy and strode upstairs without a word. But just before she disappeared at the end of the staircase, she flashed me an encouraging look that roused my fury.
"I'm sorry, Spencer. Do forgive me for coming over without telling you in advance. These are my friends. All of them wanted to see you, so..."
She trailed away, gazing at me with quiet enthusiasm and blushing red. Her voice grew lower and lower as she spoke, and she sounded like a timid little rabbit.
Why was she here again?! This had gone far enough!
I pulled my lips into a frown, giving off the impression that no one was allowed to come close to me.
Sadly, these girls were too young to be sensible. They didn't sense my displeasure and surrounded me instantly. They kept asking me questions over and over in their high-pitched voices, like a bunch of nosy flies.
"Spencer, so you're Nicole's boyfriend?"
"How did you know Nicole, Spencer? Do tell us!"
"Spencer..."
One by one, they shot foolish questions that gave me goosebumps. I tried to push down my annoyance and keep calm throughout it all. Unfortunately, I couldn't get rid of them at all.
In fact, my mind was full of Vivian and Lee. I wasn't in the mood to deal with these giggly little girls.
"I'm sorry, but I need to go to the washroom."
I found an excuse to leave. Once I managed to escape the crowd of annoying girls, I whipped out my phone and sent a message to Vivian.
"I'll come to you later. If you don't explain what happened before, I'm not letting you sleep tonight!"
I waited in the washroom for her reply, but nothing came. Vivian was silent.
Damn it! I would definitely punish her later!
Reluctantly, I returned to Nicole and her friends. Immediately, the girls from before pounced on me and continued their barrage of stupid questions. So much, I was drowning in them! Being around the girls was a test of my patience. Suddenly, I spotted Lee in the crowd from the corner of my eyes.
Looking closely, he was holding a lady's bag in his hand. My eyes automatically zeroed in on Lee's figure, and I realized that he was walking to Vivian's room.
What day was it today? A gathering day for blind dates?! Argh!
Then, the door was opened and Vivian popped out. She greeted Lee with a sweet smile before pulling him inside and closing the door shut.
Just like that, the last vestiges of my reasoning vanished. Anger surged in me, prompting me to stand up abruptly. I said to the girls, "Excuse me. I have something urgent to deal with." As soon as I said that, I turned around, about to leave.
"Spencer? Where are you going?"
Nicole wanted to stop me from leaving. However, I turned around and threw her an icy glare. I could no longer suppress my anger and hissed, "Nicole, you crossed the line."
My curt warning frightened her into tears. She stood still, frozen on the spot, her eyes brimming with tears that threatened to fall.
Everyone fell dead silent. Under the surprised and shocked looks of everyone inside, I hurried out of the room.
As I stormed upstairs, the image of Vivian and Lee embracing intimately appeared in my mind. My heart ached, as if it was being torn to pieces. Were they doing the deed?
With that in mind, I increased my pace and sprinted to Vivian's room. I kicked the door open immediately.
"Vivian! You...!"
My furious outburst came to a sudden halt. To my surprise, Lee was nowhere to be found. In fact, there was only an alluring beauty in lingerie. Maybe Vivian had just taken a shower. She wore a skimpy silk nightdress that showed her generous cleavage. It was so short, it couldn't cover her snow-white, slender legs. She looked charmingly lazy, tempting men into approaching her.
Seeing her in such a state, the question I yearned to ask got stuck in my throat. I couldn't take my eyes off Vivian.
"What's wrong, Spencer?" Vivian approached me step by step and looked at me with a teasing gaze.
"If you're here to catch the adultery in the act, I'm afraid I've let you down. Lee just came to give me the bag I left in the club and left right after. Why are you so flustered?"
I kept stepping back, breathing hard, until the door touched my back.
This woman was just like a mind reader! She could see through my thoughts so easily.
Then, Vivian burst into amused laughter. She retreated away from me and sat back on the edge of the bed. She leaned against the head of the bed, bending her body into a seductive gesture.
