Chapter 196 He tempted her with money
Chapter 196 He tempted her with money
Vivian bought a new suit of clothes in a store to replace her torn clothes.
She looked at her red and swollen face in the mirror. Her scalp hurt very much. She ground her teeth
resentfully.
She felt so badly wronged.
She hadn’t seduced Lawrence. Lawrence had tried to tempt her instead.
She had gone to work as usual today. Lawrence suddenly called her to his office in this morning.
She walked into Lawrence’s office with butterflies in her stomach. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Lawrence was slouching back in the chair with no expression on his handsome and cold face. He just
stared at her.
Vivian was intimidated by his stare. It took her a while to work up the courage to ask him carefully, “Mr.
Charles, is there anything I can do for you?”
Lawrence said coldly, “I heard Amanda is suing Quentin for divorce lately because of you?
Vivian trembled with fear when she heard the accusation. She suddenly looked up at Lawrence, “Mr.
Charles, I…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
She had no idea how Lawrence had gotten the news. Quentin and Amanda were secretly married in
the company. There were even fewer people who knew about their divorce.
“Don’t try to muddle through with me.”
Lawrence raised his eyebrows coldly, “Quentin is my secretary general and Amanda is my
administration manager. Both of them are vital to the company. Of course, I investigated everything
about them. They were secretly married, because they wanted to work better. I could understand that.
So I pretended not to know about it. But they’re getting divorced now, and it has badly affected their
work efficiency. It all started with you. Tell me, what should I do with you?”
“Mr. Charles…” Vivian was at a loss what to do. It seemed that she was going to lose her job.
However, Lawrence suddenly smiled and looked at her with strange eyes, “What's the point of being a
third wheel? Why don’t you be my mistress?”
“Huh?” Vivian was shocked. She stared at Lawrence and said nothing.
Lawrence smiled and pulled a credit card from his wallet and threw it on the table, “This is an unlimited
gold card, and you can spend as much as you want. It’s yours if you agree.”
Vivian gasped with a wide-open mouth. She couldn’t wrap her head around it. As far she knew,
Lawrence would never date any female employee in the company. Besides, there was no other woman
in his life.
It was rumored the he was gay and Vivian believed it. But he was asking her to be his mistress with
such an attractive offer. It was mind-blowing. She just couldn’t understand it.
Lawrence frowned when Vivian didn’t say anything, “You don’t want to do it, do you? Never mind. Why
don’t you leave and send Faith in on your way out?”
Faith was another secretary of Lawrence’s.
“Don’t…I’ll accept it.”
Vivian came to her sense when Lawrence might have second thoughts about the candidate. She took
the gold card on the table without hesitation.
The gold card was attractive enough, but what attracted her most was Lawrence himself. He was way
better than Ben Hawk and Quentin in both social status and appearance. A golden bachelor like
Lawrence had always been her ideal future husband.
Lawrence was cold and serious with moral integrity. Vivian had been too unconfident to approach him
in the past. Now she had to seize the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when he offered to take her as his
mistress.
Vivian thought of Joey at the moment.
Joey had found herself a man as perfect as Allen, and Vivian was very jealous of her. She wouldn’t feel
inferior to Joey anymore if Lawrence became her man. She had no idea that Lawrence was actually
Allen’s younger brother at the time.
“Don’t celebrate too early. You have to follow two principles as my mistress, or I could replace you with
another woman anytime.”
Lawrence was disgusted by Vivian’s excitement. He had seen too many women like her who
worshipped money and he had always despised such women. But he needed such a woman around to
put on a good show.
