The Stand-In Who Burned the Script novel Chapter 533

He stared at her for a moment before stepping back.

But Vivian was still holding onto his tie.

Only a step away, there was nowhere left to retreat.

She had a beautiful pair of fox-like eyes, the naturally upturned corners giving her an inherent seductiveness. Combined with the sparkling look in her gaze, she was utterly captivating.

"Remember, every time I leave the house, we have to kiss first. Every time."

"..."

Silas took a deep breath, stepped forward again, and looked down at her. "Where should I kiss?"

"Anywhere."

Anywhere was fine.

A deep kiss, a light peck—either worked.

But skipping it was not an option.

Silas placed a large hand on the back of her head and gave her a token kiss on the forehead. "Like this?"

"Yeah, that works."

"You're so high maintenance."

"..."

Vivian watched him head downstairs, then turned and leaned against the window until his black Cayenne disappeared from view.

She went back to change.

As she was heading out, she checked her phone and saw a message pop up from an unknown number.

[Let's grab lunch.]

[...Vivian, take me off your blocked list.]

Reading the second text, Vivian finally realized the sender was Jonah Granger.

She twirled her phone in her hand, thinking it over, and eventually decided to go.

He wasn't as difficult to handle as Silas, but comparatively, just like Zoe had said, his character was far worse.

If he actually decided to pull a stunt, it would get ugly fast.

It was still early, so Vivian swung by the office to handle some things before driving leisurely to the agreed-upon location.
