Rachel didn't expect such a dramatic reaction from Fabian and was taken aback. Still, she continuedas if she could relate to Fabian, “Yeah, I was equally as shocked when I heard about Vivian'smarriage to Finnick. Sigh, what were you doing back then, Fabian?”

Fabian could no longer continue the conversation with Rachel. He ran out of the room and sped allthe way back to his office.

Meanwhile, at the magazine company, Vivian and Sarah were eating the sandwiches they bought inthe pantry. While Vivian ate, she was scrolling her phone for recipes to make for Finnick. Her friendSarah glanced at her from time to time as she munched on her sandwich with a blank expression.“Shoot your questions, Sarah,” Vivian said with her eyes still on her phone. She already noticedearlier that Sarah had something on her mind.

Sarah's face flushed red at once. She replied gingerly, “Oh, it's nothing big. It's just that there havebeen these rumors going on in the office about...”

“About me and Fabian?" Vivian raised one brow.

“It's more than that.” Sarah bit her lips and mustered her courage to continue, “Okay, so Shannonand I saw you getting off a luxury car just a few days ago. That time, everyone was already sayingthat you have a special thing going on with the Chief Editor. Then, Shannon also added that she hasa few friends from Z College who said that...”

Vivian felt her heart skip a beat when she heard the word “Z College’.

It was the reason why she left H City for the bustling Sunshine City. She really needed to leave herbad rap behind to start a new life.

But to her mishap, no matter where Vivian went, her past would be brought up.

Vivian finished the last bite of her sandwich and laughed light-heartedly. “What did they say aboutme? That I pimped myself out for cash? Or that I was dating Fabian back on campus?”

Sarah was surprised by Vivian's bluntness. Her expression became even more awkward as shehurried on to answer, “Vivian, never will I think that you are that kind of person!”

Vivian was touched by Sarah's kind words. “Thank you so much for believing in me, Sarah.”

After lunch, Vivian headed back to her office. Right away, she could spot a few of her colleaguestalking about her.

Vivian merely put on a carefree smile.

Two years ago, she could never have survived such slanders and insults. But now, she wasbulletproof. She knew that she couldn't do anything about it and decided to just ignore them.Vivian was aware that she did nothing wrong.

At this thought, Vivian sunk into her seat and started to prepare for tomorrow's interview. Out ofthe blue, a loud bang came from the office door as a silhouette bolted past.

Vivian raised her head in puzzlement and saw Fabian’s contorted face as he strode in her direction.He growled, “Vivian, see me in my office now.”

Vivian furrowed her brows. She wanted to reject his request, but she didn’t want to blow up theticking timebomb in Fabian.

Everyone in the office was now staring at Vivian with an even muddled expression dawned on theirfaces. A reckless Shannon showed up and snorted, “Wow, what was that? Is Mr. Norton trying torekindle his old flame with you? Pfft, leave that poor man alone. You were the one who cheated onhim back then. Don't toy with his feelings anymore.”

Vivian glared at Shannon before striding off to Fabian’s office.

Upon entering Fabian’s office, Vivian could see Fabian pacing in front of his desk.

It was a familiar scene to Vivian. Back in college, Fabian would always pace in his room whenever astressful situation was coming up.

“Mr. Norton,” Vivian took the initiative to speak after reading the mood in the room. “What's thematter?”

Fabian halted in his steps and glowered at Vivian. He uttered through his teeth, “Vivian William. Oh,pardon me. Perhaps I should call you Vivian Norton instead, now that you are married to Finnick.”Vivian could feel the world around her fade out as blood drained from her face.
