Spencer's POV:
I held Vivian's hand and gripped it gently in my own.
Her skin was smooth and delicate to the touch. It felt good to hold, and I couldn't stop myself from gently caressing it.
Vivian was briefly stunned by my gesture. When she came back to her senses, she hurriedly pulled her hand away.
"Spencer..." Nicole's voice drew my attention back to her. She pouted sulkily as she cast an unhappy glance at Vivian. "Every time I come to the bar, I always see you with Vivian. Do you have a good relationship? Do you two have dinner together often?"
Nicole's whiny tone was testing my patience. The sound was grating my ears, so very annoying. I wanted nothing more than to tell her that not only do Vivian and I had dinner together often, we had also slept together!
But then, Vivian's warning gaze fell on me. I held my tongue and drew back. Then, I looked coldly into Nicole's eyes. "Why do you want to know?"
Nicole shivered at my tone, instantly lowering her head in fear. "I... I just..."
"Now, now, Spencer. How can you be so mean to a lady?" Vivian interrupted with a smile.
I stared at her helplessly, but she was grinning at me.
Happy that Vivian was siding her, Nicole regained her cheer and said fawningly, "Vivian, Spencer's got someone in his heart, right? Do you know who she is?"
Vivian shrugged, feigning ignorance. "I'm afraid you asked the wrong person, Nicole. Only Spencer knows who he likes."
I was a little disappointed by Vivian's answer, but that was to be expected. As for me, I didn't plan to hide my feelings. "It's true, Nicole. I do have a woman I like."
"Really? Who is she?" Nicole asked anxiously, grabbing my arm in a hurry.
I quickly drew my hand back in distaste and took a step back, distancing myself from her. "She's..." But I wasn't able to finish my sentence, because something kicked my foot hard and silenced me immediately.
I cast an aggrieved glare at Vivian, but she replied with a warning look.
The expression was gone by the next second as she turned to smile gently at Nicole. "I'm done eating. Please, do help yourself."
Vivian then stood up and left amiably.
I hesitated for a moment, wanting to follow her. In the end, my rationale won and I remained where I was.
I told Nicole sincerely, "Nicole, don't come to me again. You are still a student, and I'm the boss of a nightclub. I'm definitely not a good match for you. Besides, there's a big age gap between us. Why are you so attached to me?"
My words were rather straightforward and somewhat painful. However, they didn't faze Nicole, who still wore a bright smile on her face. "I don't think that'll prevent us from being together! Spencer, I promise I'll be a generous wife. It doesn't matter to me if you have other women. As long as you don't take them home, I won't interfere with whatever you do outside the house."
Listening to her words, I was on the verge of breaking down. This woman was too difficult to deal with! If I wasn't direct, she wouldn't give up.
And so, I sized Nicole up and down with a frivolous leer. "Nicole, the woman I like knows all kinds of postures in bed. What about you? What postures do you know?"
That stunned her. She stared at me open-mouthed, dazed.
I sighed and shrugged, helpless. "Look, we really can't see eye to eye. I'm not expecting to have a wife like you. Be careful when you go back, Nicole. Bye."
Without waiting for her response, I turned around and headed upstairs.
Vivian was standing outside the room, phone in hand.
"Vivian." I walked up to her with a big smile, but she only glanced coldly at me.
"What nonsense did you just say to Nicole?" Vivian barked, her tone unfriendly.
I gave her an innocent stare and replied simply, "Nothing."
Vivian shook her phone, annoyed. "Nicole just called and told me something. Turns out that you like the kind of woman who knows many postures in bed."
What?! How did Nicole tell on me so soon?
I grabbed Vivian's hand and pulled her into my arms. Then, I whispered ambiguously in her ear, "Isn't that true?"
"You bastard!" Vivian shoved me away and ran into her room, and then slammed the door.
