Despite his gradually fading smile, his eyes couldn't hide their delight. His tone was also exceedingly gentle to the extent one would cringe at it.
"Scarlett has sought my help for a court case relating to a sponsorship deal of hers. Hence, we met a few times and coincidentally had our picture taken. Our relationship is strictly professional. Hence, the rumors out there are untrue. You mustn't believe them and shouldn't worry about it too."
"Why should I worry?" Vivian was puzzled.
"You are all that matters to me," Hunter declared all of a sudden.
What the hell is this? Vivian's heart was thrown into disarray by Hunter's words. Their relationship seemed to be going in a direction that was out of her control.
No, I can't let this continue. She had no feelings for Hunter, and she wanted to make it clear so that he wouldn't fall deeper into the relationship.
"Hunter, between us, there's no..." Just as she spoke, Vivian was interrupted by her ringing phone.
When she checked, she saw that it was Evelyn on the line. After hesitating a moment, Vivian decided to answer as she was worried that it had something to do with Rachel.
"Vivian, are you free tomorrow?" Evelyn asked with a smile.
"Why?" Vivian furrowed her eyebrows.
"If you're free, I would like to invite you to watch an
opera."
Vivian was unsettled by Evelyn's invitation and didn't feel like agreeing. However, the thought of Evelyn agreeing to donate her bone marrow to Rachel caused Vivian to waver. She was still grateful to Evelyn for helping Rachel.
"Alright. What time will it be tomorrow?"
After agreeing on a time, Vivian ended the call.
"Who is it?" Hunter asked when he saw Vivian's mood change after the call.
"Evelyn," Vivian casually replied.
