Chapter 313

He flashed a grin, his little canine teeth showing, looking completely innocent and proud of himself.

Vivian had never met anyone quite like him before. In the business world, she’d come across all sorts trust–fund kids who burned through cash like it was nothing

party animals, playboys, and

But Nathan was the definition of laid–back, just coasting through life and picking up some easy money whenever he felt like it

“We’re almost home. Sit up, Vivian said, giving him a nudge.

Nathan groggily opened his eyes, saw it was Vivian, and leaned in closer, his breath brushing right against her face.

“Vivian, you’re so pretty. I really wanna kiss you,” he slurred, sounding both drunk and playful.

They were so close, their breaths mixing together. Vivian’s eyes flow wide open, her heart suddenly racing.

She leaned back in shock. You-

Nathan shook, his head, a little unsteady. “Nope, 1 can’t kiss you.”

Vivian didn’t even know why she blurted out, “Why not?”

His answer instantly killed whatever little spark she’d just felt.

–

“Because being in a relationship costs way too much, and I’m not about to let my money go to you,” he said.

Vivian’s face went completely blank as she shoved him away, her voice flat. “We’re here. Get out.”

I’ve seriously never met anyone so stingy in my life, Vivian thought, rolling her eyes. Let him stay broke for all I care.

Nathan said, “Seriously, you don’t believe me? Let me do the math for you. If I were dating someone, I’d have to buy her flowers every day, take her out to eat, get her jewelry, bags, dresses, and take her on trips.

“Whatever other girls have, my girlfriend has to have too. That means I’d have to hustle just to keep up. Honestly, sounds like a bad deal. But if it’s you, maybe it wouldn’t be such a loss after all.”

Nathan yelped in pain, rubbing his kicked calf as he got out of the car.

Then he leaned against the car window, grinning cheekily. “Vivian, if you ever need a bed warmer, I’m up for the job–just for you. And hey, I’m still a virgin. Isn’t that a steal?”

Vivian was so embarrassed she wanted to disappear. ‘He really will do anything for money, she thought, utterly speechless.

“Drive,” she snapped.

“At once. Miss Vivian,” the driver said.

Nathan choked on the exhaust as the car sped away, but he was still hollering after her, “Don’t forget to call me. No one else can do it better iluan me. I can learn on the job and serve you at the same time.”

Every word made Vivian’s heart pound out of her chest, her cheeks burning hot. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her wildly beating heart, and shot a text to Sienna.

15lenna, I just dropped a friend off I’m pretty tired, so I’m not going back to the party. I’ll be at home waiting for you.l

Surnina had just left the ballroom when she saw Vivian’s message. (Okay.]

She replied to the message and handed hier plone to Lana. Before her hand was even down, someone behind her gently took it.

Julian wrapped her hand in his, his grip soft. It’she wanted to pull away, she could easily.
