After all, a poor girl like her can't play the game of love.
She wants a warm relationship to know and appreciate each other, and Tom, having been born to a rich family, has a different concept of love.
Vivi thought about it for a long time. When her shoulders were cold, she walked to the bathroom in a mess.
That night, Vivi did not come out of her room again.
Tom just sat in the living room and smoked for a long time.
He likes Vivi!
This realization gradually became clearer in his mind!
While in the hot springs, apart from liking her, he actually had the desire to protect her and take care of her.
What is this!
Vivi was clearly very ordinary, far less beautiful than the previous women.
Why couldn't he just let her go!
Tom had always thought that an arrogant woman like Sasha was what he wanted.
But now, everything has changed!
His mind was going everywhere and he couldn't calm down. Before Vivi's figure refused to leave there, he'd been in constant battle with his own mind.
He just sat in the living room and felt a mood he had never felt before, and he only fell into a deep sleep when it was really night.
Of course, Tom's sad story doesn't stop there.
All night, he slept on the sofa in the living room. The next morning, he suddenly caught a cold!
Even though he was covered with a blanket over his body, he was awakened by the chilly atmosphere in Malang city.
There is no floor heating in this villa, only central air conditioning.
At seven in the morning, he sat on the sofa shivering and holding the blanket with a sad expression.
Busy waiters pass by from time to time. Tom looked at them with a grim expression, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Why did you let me sleep in the living room?"
The maids stood innocently, and someone muttered under his breath. "Young master, we have woken you up twice and wanted to take you back to your room to sleep… but you refused!"
"I refused?" Tom couldn't believe the waiter's words.
Seeing the suspicious look on his face, the waiter smirked and nodded, "Yes, you refused and told us to leave..."
Tom wiped his face and stopped talking!
In less than ten minutes, there was a sound from the door upstairs.
When Tom heard the voice, he tilted his body and leaned back on the sofa, closing his eyes and frowning with a sad expression.
However, Vivi came down the stairs with her luggage and stopped when she saw the maids standing in a row.
The maid looked at the briefcase in her hand, glanced at Tom discreetly, and asked loudly.
"Miss, are you... leaving now?"
Vivi smiled apologetically. "Well, something happened to my company, so I have to hurry back!"
What kind of excuse is this!
Tom suddenly sat up, turned to look at Vivi on the stairs. He took the phone from the table without saying anything, and dialed Chris' number.
"Chris, why is your company so inhumane? Today is New Year's Day, why do your employees still have to work?"
When the voice fell, Vivi dropped her luggage!
Woe to her!
She'd be caught lying!
Vivi rushed to Tom anxiously, grabbed his cell phone, and pressed the end call button.
"Why are you calling my boss!"
She's a little upset, so she just hung up on her boss. She doesn't know if she'll be fired for this!
She blames Tom, because if it wasn't for him, she wouldn't have stayed up all night. She wants to leave as soon as possible, and wants to forget yesterday's events.
Tom looked at Vivi faintly and smirked. "Are you sure your company is forcing you to work?"
Vivi didn't answer, but she noticed that Tom's voice became heavy. "Is there something wrong with your voice?"
"If you hadn't left me alone in the hot tub last night, I wouldn't have caught a cold."
The maids looked at each other and couldn't help but give Tom their thumbs up secretly.
Their young master is really great, lying is already as easy as breathing!
After hearing the voice, Vivi blinked her eyes with a guilty conscience, then muttered, "Then why don't you go out…. By yourself?"
"Can I come out like this?" After that, Tom patted his thigh!
He's still a patient, okay!
There's a lot to gain from pretending to be sick!
No wonder Leonard used this strategy, it seemed like an indispensable method of chasing women!
Thinking about it, Tom suddenly coughed and lay on the sofa with the back of his hand against his forehead, and his shoulders shrank a few times. The discomfort was real, now it depends on whether this woman has a conscience!
Tom lay down for a few seconds without hearing any movement, and couldn't help but lift his eyelids to take a peek.
However, Vivi's figure was no longer in front of him!
Tom's heart tensed. Just as he was about to ask, he heard the maid whisper to him. "Young master, Miss Vivi is going to the kitchen. Quickly lie down, don't let her find out about this!"
"Cough..." He coughed weakly, waved his hand, and said, "Get out of here, don't come in again if nothing goes wrong!"
"Your breakfast..." the waiter asked shyly.
Tom furrowed his brows and insisted. "I'll think about it myself!"
When the words fell, the maids immediately dismissed themselves.
...
In the kitchen, Vivi is making ginger soup.
Knowing that Tom caught a cold, she felt guilty. She planned to make a bowl of ginger soup before leaving.
She found some ginger from the fridge, and skillfully placed it on the cutting board and chopped it into flakes.
Vivi is not a spoiled rich girl. She had learned to cook long ago after wandering outside for many years.
At this moment, she didn't realize that not far from the kitchen door, Tom was limping on one leg, standing in the middle of the living room while peering inside.
He rarely saw the women around him cooking. After all, why cook when he has a chef!
In the brightly lit kitchen, he watched Vivi's petite figure rushing in front of the stove. All her preparations were in order, and she looked like a real chef.
For some reason, Tom was deeply moved by such a simple sight.
If you can always be with someone you love, someone who is in your heart, your every smile will be caused by it. This kind of feeling... is not bad!
He could vaguely understand why Jean and Chris were so obsessed with emotional issues!
Maybe meeting the right person will make him understand them.
Tom's gaze gradually became more serious, and when he was fascinated by her, he didn't realize that Vivi had already come out with the warm ginger soup.
The next moment, the eyes of the two met in midair, and Tom felt embarrassed.
Vivi raised her eyebrows and saw his movements, frozen in her steps, feeling that they were like two fools!
She couldn't control the upward arc of her mouth, and walked forward and put the ginger soup on the table. Then she turned her head to look at him jokingly. "So you're able to walk again?"
Tom straightened up and grabbed Vivi's wrist. "I still can't walk too far!"
Vivi was too lazy to comment. After helping him sit up, she turned around and took the ginger soup and handed it to him.
"Drink this. It will help keep you warm!"
