After work one afternoon, Paris asked Vivian to give her a ride home as she had to teach Larry that day.
"Sure." Vivian nodded. After all, they were heading the same way since she was heading home as well.
"Ms. Morrison, Paris, are you talking about Larry?" Shane knew that Vivian's son was named Larry.
Since they were colleagues, it was natural for him to hear the name mentioned many times in the office.
"Yes." Paris nodded while looking at Shane, wondering what it was he wanted.
Paris wasn't close to Shane despite both of them being Vivian's mentees. For some inexplicable
reason, she just didn't like him.
"Erm... If it's alright with you, I would like to see him too.”
Shane felt that it was the perfect opportunity. Otherwise, at the rate he was going, there was no way for him to execute Evelyn's plan.
Just the other day, he met up with Evelyn again. Evelyn was dressed beautifully and didn't look as miserable as the previous night.
The sight of her beauty caused Shane's heart to race.
"I just want to spend my life happily with you. However, as long as Vivian is around, I will never ever have peace."
Evelyn's declaration of love for him was seared into Shane's mind.
Therefore, he decided to help Evelyn so that he could live the dream she promised him.
In truth, Shane had asked Evelyn why she wanted to seek revenge on Vivian, to which she replied, "Her husband was my first love."
Having heard her response, Shane was outraged as if something that belonged to him was taken away.
Back to the present, Shane was giving Vivian a pleading look as his eyes were filled with anticipation, making it difficult for her to refuse.
While she was still wondering if Finnick would be angry if she brought Shane home, Shane had already followed both of them into the car.
Having no other choice, Vivian prayed that Finnick would not lose his temper when they got home. That would be for the best.
