Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss

Chapter 734: A Woman’s Heart Is Like a Needle at the Bottom of the Sea

Vivian Sutton has always been like this, outwardly carefree and slightly muddled.

But her inner self is very meticulous, especially regarding certain details, which she won’t mention verbally, but she will certainly remember them in her heart.

When she finally talks about these things, it always leaves you surprised.

As Selena Kensington reminisced about past times, she chuckled softly, "Hmm, I won’t regret it."

Vivian Sutton’s lips curled slightly, and her mood instantly brightened.

Hugh Kensington watched as Vivian Sutton’s mood constantly changed, remaining silent.

Indeed, a woman’s heart is like a needle at the bottom of the ocean.

She was just sad a moment ago, yet after a few words, she’s happy again.

Vivian Sutton and Selena Kensington continued to chat with Hugh Kensington for a while, with Hugh sharing some future plans regarding Vivian, giving her a rough idea.

By the time they almost finished talking about these things, more than an hour had passed.

It was just about noontime.

Hugh Kensington glanced at the time, "Where are you planning to have lunch?"

Selena Kensington glanced at Vivian Sutton, who paused before speaking, "Clement said he’d come take me for lunch after I’m done."

She then turned to Vivian Sutton, "Selie, what about you?"

Selena Kensington blinked, "I’m also going back to have lunch with Sterling."

"...Alright then."

Since both of them had said so, Hugh Kensington naturally had nothing else to add.

He escorted Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton downstairs.

In the elevator, Hugh Kensington suddenly spoke to Selena Kensington, "By the way, sis."

Selena Kensington looked over, "What’s up?"

"Lynn Rhodes wanted you to visit her earlier. She wanted to show you the design for the winter fashion exhibit and the winter collection of ’Spiritual Dress.’

Hugh Kensington said.

Selena Kensington raised an eyebrow. Just when Hugh Kensington mentioned the winter fashion exhibit of Spiritual Dress earlier, she wanted to ask about it. But she remembered other things afterward, so she hadn’t had the chance to inquire.

Listening to Hugh’s words, Selena Kensington slowly responded, "Alright? Is she at Stardust now?"

Hugh Kensington shook his head slightly, "She’s probably searching for a suitable gallery now. I’ll arrange a time for you both once she’s back. Once you’re home, I’ll send you the plan to look over."

Hearing this from Hugh Kensington, Selena Kensington nodded slightly, "Okay."

Saying this, Selena Kensington stepped out into the ground floor lobby of the elevator.

"Well, we should get going."

With that, she waved at Hugh Kensington, and together with Vivian Sutton, she left the elevator.

Hugh Kensington remained in the elevator, watching as Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton left, and only when Hope Norwood emerged from the lounge beside Selena did he press the elevator button to go upstairs.

Meanwhile, Hope Norwood made her way out immediately upon seeing Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton step outside.

"Ma’am."

She approached Selena Kensington, straightened up, and greeted her respectfully.

Selena Kensington slightly nodded at her and turned to Vivian Sutton, "Where’s Clement? Hasn’t he arrived yet?"

Vivian Sutton was looking at her phone, but at the words, she put it away and shook her head slightly to Selena Kensington, "Not yet, there’s a bit of traffic, he’ll take some more time."

Selena Kensington glanced once more at the clock placed in the Stardust lobby on the ground floor. There was still some time left until noon, so she wasn’t in a rush to meet Sterling Norwood.

"So let’s go relax in the lounge room."

Selena Kensington suggested to Vivian Sutton.

Vivian Sutton’s eyes lit up, "Sure, sure."

Taking advantage of the extra time, Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton settled into the lounge for a bit longer.

Initially, Vivian Sutton felt quite excited about having a chat with Selena Kensington, but once she truly settled into the lounge, her expression seemed to deflate a little.

Selena Kensington glanced at her, "What, can’t hold up anymore?"

From the moment Hugh Kensington mentioned Anson Sutton contacting him privately, Selena Kensington sensed something was amiss with Vivian Sutton’s emotions.

But back then Hugh was present, so Selena felt it was inappropriate to mention anything.

Hugh might have noticed Vivian’s mood wasn’t great at the time, which is why he quickly wrapped up the conversation.

Vivian Sutton let out a bitter laugh, not continuing her brave front in front of Selena.

"I... I don’t know what to do anymore."

"Actually, when he went to retrieve Roxanne Sutton’s ashes last time, I accompanied him and took a look. He... seems to have aged a lot overnight."

Vivian Sutton exhaled a heavy breath before slowly speaking.

Selena Kensington looked calmly at Vivian Sutton, "Do you still have reservations about him?"

Vivian Sutton’s expression turned complicated, "How could I not have reservations... It’s not just that I haven’t let go, but my feelings towards him have only become more complicated over time."

"Especially with what Hugh said today, I never imagined that."

Selena Kensington sighed, slowly starting to counsel Vivian Sutton.

In fact, Anson Sutton’s attitude could be compared to Mr. Duan’s past mindset.

Back then, Mr. Duan had a fierce hold over his eldest son, which only dawned on him once he got older, though it was too late.

His elder son became more of a shadow of a person due to being controlled.

Similar to Anson Sutton, who now regrets how he treated Vivian Sutton previously.

The biggest contrast with Mr. Duan is that Anson Sutton still has a chance.

Whereas Mr. Duan is totally out of chances.

After Selena Kensington counseled Vivian Sutton for a while, her mood gradually improved.

"Thank you, Selie, I’ll go back and think things through."

"It’s good you can sort things out."

After chatting with Vivian Sutton for a bit longer, Clement Luther’s car entered Stardust’s parking lot.

Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton stepped out together, with Hope Norwood following closely behind Selena.

After meeting up with Clement Luther, Selena Kensington chatted with him briefly before watching him drive off with Vivian.

Once they had left, Selena Kensington then turned to Hope Norwood, saying, "Let’s head back too."

"Yes."

Hope Norwood lowered her gaze obediently in reply.

When Selena Kensington returned home, Sterling Norwood was already waiting for her in the living room on the ground floor.

Upon entering, Sterling Norwood immediately turned towards her from his spot on the couch.

Seeing Selena, he promptly set aside the documents he was holding and approached her.

"Why were you held up for so long?"

He asked gently.

"Hmm, just chatted with Vivian for a bit longer."

Upon hearing of Vivian Sutton, Sterling Norwood did not pursue further inquiry.

Taking Selena’s hand, he led her into the dining room, "Hungry? It’s time to eat."

"A bit."

Selena Kensington smiled as she looked at him.

After lunch, Selena Kensington picked up her phone, noticing the plan for the Winter Fashion Exhibit of Spiritual Dress that Hugh Kensington had sent.

Sterling Norwood was beside her, casually glancing at the file Hugh Kensington had sent.

"A fashion exhibit?"

No noticeable change in emotion in his tone.

Selena Kensington replied, "Yeah." She then opened the file from Hugh.

At the top were bolded, enlarged words: ’Spiritual Dress Winter Fashion Exhibit Plan.’

Upon seeing the title, Selena Kensington continued reading below.
