"Vivian, let's go in my car." Hunter arrived in less than half an hour and stopped Vivian from going toward her car.
When he saw Vivian hesitating, Hunter added, "If we drive our own cars, I'm afraid Evelyn won't believe that we are going out with each other."
After giving his words some thought, Vivian nodded and joined him in his car.
On the way to the opera house, Vivian looked out the window in a daze.
When Hunter saw her spacing out, he wondered if he should make some small talk but decided against it for fear that it would get on her nerves.
When they arrived at the opera house, Vivian's gaze darkened at the sight of Evelyn who was
waiting by the entrance.
No matter the reason for the invitation, she wasn't going to allow Evelyn to get what she wanted.
When Evelyn saw Vivian and Hunter together, she couldn't help but let out a triumphant smile. It seems Hunter has made good progress as Vivian seems to be into him.Hmph! She really is a fool.
"Vivian, Hunter, you're here." Evelyn greeted them with a smile.
"I hope I'm not imposing by coming uninvited," Hunter responded with a smile while Vivian didn't say a word.
"Of course not," Evelyn replied with a grin. "I can understand when new couples just can't have enough of each other. In fact, am I being the third wheel here by invading your privacy?"
Hunter only responded with a smile while Vivian didn't respond at all. After all, the reason she came here with Hunter was to trick Evelyn into thinking that they were both an item.
When Vivian didn't reply, Evelyn assumed that she had implicitly agreed with what she said. Hence, she was further delighted that Vivian was playing into her hands.
