Chapter 460: Viv
The man, impeccably dressed in a chauffeur’s uniform, executed a flawless ninety-degree bow as he held the car door open for the stunning woman who had just alighted from the airplane.
Her icy demeanor would make anyone shiver in fear and the driver was no exception as he tried to keep his gaze stuck to the ground. Her cold exterior thawed slightly as she slid into the luxurious interior of the car, immediately greeted by the refreshing blast of the air conditioner.
With each step from the airplane to the awaiting car, Vivenne had felt as though she were traversing a scorching desert. The mere ten steps had seemed interminable, each one a reminder of the sweltering climate she had left behind five years ago. She hated this weather and this country. The only reason she had come back was Seb. Once she’d made sure her goal was accomplished, she would never return here.
Even as her beautiful face would attract the attention of any passersby, it was her cold hazel eyes, that were hidden behind the huge sunglasses that masked her true personality.
"Drive to The Bricks and Brews Cafe." she ordered the chauffeur as he started the car.
The driver paused and looked in the mirror," Ma’am? Sir ordered me to take you home directly."
Vivienne sniffed the air and answered coldly," If you have a problem taking me there, then I can go there myself. Then you can explain to your Sir, how you lost me."
The driver stiffened and shook his head," No, No. There is no need for that Ma’am. I’ll take you right away."
With an approving nod, she leaned back in the seat, fidgeting with her phone as she waited to reach her destination. She wondered how Olivia would react when she saw her. It would be so fun.. She had not felt this type of anticipation for a long time...
Her anticipation, however turned into disappointment as the driver stopped outside a desolate building. The building was definitely where Olivia had been running that cafe of hers. And last she’d heard, it had been doing well. So, what was this?
The signboard had been taken down, and construction materials littered the entrance, signaling ongoing renovations.
With a disdainful huff, Vivienne stepped out of the car, her heels clicking against the pavement with purpose. She pushed open the door to the café, the sound of her entrance echoing in the empty space.
Inside, the air was thick with the scent of fresh paint and sawdust. Vivienne’s lips curled into a sneer as she surveyed the scene.
Ignoring the debris around her, she stood still, her eyes scanning the room until they landed on the back of a young girl, dressed in worn clothing, diligently working amidst the renovation debris.
There she was.. Olivia Brown. A smirk graced her face. It was true. Even if the filthy could earn money, they would remain filthy. Olivia was still a lowly worker at heart. She could have simply hired someone to do the work, but she’d rather get her own hands dirty and save the money. Cheap.
"Hey, Olivia Brown."
The girl whipped around and Vivienne made a face. This was not Olivia. However, whoever this was, she was too beautiful, making her take an instant dislike to her," You. Where is Olivia Brown?"
The girl looked at her silently and she wondered if this girl was mute.That would be typical of Olivia and her bleeding heart.
"You. I am talking to you. Where is Olivia? Do you understand?"
The girl shook her head and looked at her with wide eyes, making Vivienne want to throw her hands up.
"I asked where is the woman who owns this cafe? Her name is Olivia Brown."
Finally, the girl shook her head again and spoke in a light voice," This cafe is not owned by Olivia Brown anymore."
"What do you mean not owned by her?"
The girl shrugged," It means Miss Olivia Brown sold the cafe."
"What! When did this happen?"
"Last month." The girl answered as she made a frightened face," What is it, Miss? Did you have some work with her? Does she owe you a debt?"
The woman snorted and shook her head," Last month... You say she left last month? Do you know where she went?"
The young girl shook her head," From what I heard she was going on a world tour. So she must have taken some cruise...I’m sorry. I don’t really know. Would you like to leave a message, Miss... If she ever calls here, I can tell her about her old friend looking for her."
The woman smiled," Sure. Tell her that Vivienne Dempsey was here. She will know me."
With that, Vivienne walked back out of the cafe, with a happy smile on her face. It seemed the rumors really were true this time. Olivia was gone and Seb was dating someone called Emma. What perfect timing...
At the door, she bumped into another shabbily dressed woman and made a face full of disgust. ’Gosh. She’d have to take a bath once she reached home with all the dirty people she had encountered. Then she would go and meet Seb Frost soon...
Her disgusted expression grew even more as the girl who had just entered the cafe, called out," Nora baby... I got you lunch..."
Nora grinned at Isabella and quickly pulled the little bag of sandwiches to herself," I was starving! Thank you Bella baby!"
"You’re welcome, you’re welcome. So, who was the haughty bit*h who just left."
Nora looked up at Isabella and shook her head as she unwrapped her sandwich," Why would you call someone a bi*ch?"
"Hey! She gave me the look. So, who was she?"
"Well, your bi*ch radar is working just fine. I don’t know. Someone called Vivienne. But she came to find trouble with Olivia. Might have to warn Seb and snoop a bit"
Isabella smiled at the glint in Nora’s eyes. Oops...Someone had gotten on her wrong side... She’d have to ask Ian who this Vivienne was...
