Chapter 85\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston\u2019s long fingers reached over and caught Vivian by the chin. His handsome face moved in close, his breath hot against her skin.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYour taste in men really is terrible.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou\u2026 You can\u2019t just insult me like that.\u201d Vivian didn\u2019t move. She barely dared to breathe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She had to admit it. The man in front of her had the kind of face that made her heart race.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston let out a low laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The way their breaths seemed to tangle made Vivian\u2019s lashes tremble.\u00a0<\/p>\n
If she\u2019d never met Logan, she might have already been married to Kingston.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The thought crossed her mind. She quickly looked away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She felt like the scented oil in the room had messed with her head.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston\u2019s mood seemed better. He let go of her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Seeing his smile, Vivian felt her mind heat up. She blurted, \u201cMr. Howard, please give Hartwell Group a chance.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Hartwell Group just needed an opportunity.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston looked down at her, a faint smile playing on his lips. \u201cI just saved you. And now, you\u2019re asking for more?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
His words made Vivian flush. She gave an awkward laugh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He neither agreed nor refused. He only gave her an unreadable look before walking away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian followed him into the elevator.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Theo trailed behind at an unhurried pace, sighing now and then.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s really easy to convince.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian didn\u2019t get it, but Kingston shot Theo a look sharp enough to cut.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKeep talking, and I\u2019ll put you in charge of the Outlands project.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Theo shut up immediately and put on a flattering smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKingston, what are you saying? I\u2019m delicate. If you send me to a place like Outlands, how\u00a0<\/p>\n
Securely buy, sell, and hold crypto\u00a0<\/p>\n

could I survive?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As he spoke, Theo tried to step into the elevator, but Kingston kicked him right back out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Theo wasn\u2019t ready. He fell onto the floor with a thud, then put on a dramatic expression.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cKingston, you\u2019re so cruel.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian was stunned. Her gaze bounced between Theo and Kingston.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For a second, she honestly felt like there was something going on between them.\u00a0<\/p>\n
212\u00a0<\/p>\n
No wonder Kingston hadn\u2019t had any gossip floating around after he ended the engagement\u00a0<\/p>\n
with her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe her curiosity was too obvious. Right as the elevator doors slid shut, Kingston\u2019s sharp\u00a0<\/p>\n
gaze swept over her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cClean the dirty thoughts out of your head.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh,\u201d Vivian mumbled, looking away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When they reached the first floor, Kingston glanced at her and walked out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian followed at an even pace, looking around.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The first thing she saw was a famous international mural directly across from the elevator, Cupid and Psyche.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she walked farther, the walls were covered in murals that made her cheeks burn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When she\u2019d come in earlier, she\u2019d been too tense to look closely. She\u2019d only noticed the biggest mural.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that she\u2019d calmed down, she started paying attention to her surroundings.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The paintings and carved reliefs on the walls mostly depicted couples in intimate poses.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Vivian\u2019s face burned as she unconsciously quickened her steps.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She focused on walking and didn\u2019t realize there were two steps ahead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her foot slipped, and she cried out as her body pitched forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kingston was right in front of her. He reacted instantly and caught her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He looked down at her. Their eyes locked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Both of their ears turned red, like they\u2019d been scorched.\u00a0<\/p>\n
