Chapter 374
Vivian was in a foul mood, and she couldn’t bring herself to tell Sienna that her startup had failed.
She’d lost a whopping 80 million dollars
Not only had she blown through her own allowance, but she also felt too ashamed to face Nathan, who had believed in her so much She’d sworn up and down she’d make it work, and now she’d crashed and burned.
“Want a drink?” Suddenly, a beer can was handed to her from the side Vivian turned around in shock–it was Nathan.
How did he know I was here? she wondered. “You?”
Nathan popped open the can. “I just had a feeling you’d be here. So, what is it? Did losing a mere 80 million dollars drain all the ambition and courage out of you!”
Vivian
took the can and took a sip. The icy, refreshing taste lingered in her mouth
Vivian gave a self–deprecating chuckle. The greater my expectations, the greater my disappointment. I thought I could take charge of Hart Corporation and make my own dreams come true, but I lost it all. Now I’m left with nothing”
Nathan let out a soft laugh as a gentle breeze brushed past their cheeks. The night in Vallaris was dazzling, colorful, extravagant, and full of people hustling just to get by.
“Don’t you understand the principle of perseverance?” Nathan asked, trying to sound wise.
Vivian sighed. “If you don’t know how to comfort someone, you really don’t have to try
Nathan scratched his head, looking embarrassed. “Hey, I just wanted to give it a shot. If it doesn’t work out the first time, just try again. I know you can do it. Treat this first failure as a lesson you paid for.”
Vivian sighed, her eyes clouded with disappointment. That’s easy for you to say. Now that Sienna’s back, she’ll definitely notice. I just don’t want to let her down.”
Nathan shook his head. “I doubt it. How could you ever let her down? Besides, she spoils you rotten. If you really want to start your own business, just talk to her about it
To Nathan, Vivian was just restless and making trouble for herself out of boredom. She literally had someone spoon–feeding her, but the insisted on cooking for herself anyway.
If he
were part of the Hart family and had a sister like Si
Sienna, he’d be over the moon. No matter how badly he screwed up, someone would always have his back.
weakness–itgepends
“I wanted to give her a big surprise. Hart Corporation has this major weakness–it depends way too much on imports. If I can get my company off the ground, not only could we save a ton of money, but I could finally fix that problem for good, Vivian explained.
“Alright, alright, hold up! Didn’t I already say? Don’t tell me any of your business secrets. If anything goes wrong, I’ll be the first one they look at Nathan said, throwing up his hands in mock surrender.
Vivian couldn’t hold back her laughter at Nathan’s reaction and reached out to pat his shoulder.

“Come on, Nathan, is it really
“What’s he so afraid of?” she thought
than met her radiant smile, and in the darkness, his heart thudded uncontrollably. He took a big gulp of beer, trying to calm the

He muttered. “I just don’t want any trouble.”
He just wanted to lead a carefree and unambitious life, without any drive to strive or struggle.
Vivian propped her chin on her hands. “But you know, you need some kind of goal in life, otherwise, what’s the point? It’s just boring
do you still want to give it another shot?” Nathan asked.
