Sweet Revenge

Chapter 119

Chapter 119 As if caught in a dead end cycle 
With regard to the baby, Vivienne had not yet thought about what she would tell Ladarius after she aborted it, although she had already made up her mind not to.
The possibility of a problem with the formula, however, gave her a chance, a chance to get away with it perfectly and to provoke Ladarius’ guilt and pity.
But before that –
She had asked Louis to meet her in a café, a public place where she could feel at ease.
Louis arrived late, not looking in the best of spirits and with droopy eyelids, but at least he was there.
Probably because she already knew very well what kind of person he was, Vivienne now looked at him in a way that made him look very sick, but even if he was going to die, he should be put to good use before he did.
“I thought you said you didn’t have time to see each other less often these days?”
Carelessly, he picked out a cube of sugar and put it in the coffee cup in front of him, one by another.
Six pieces in all, before stopping and stirring gently with a spoon, “What, miss me so soon?”
A teasing smile escaped the corners of his lips as he picked up his coffee cup and took a long, hard sip, followed by a gasp of contentment.
Vivienne stared at him unblinkingly and waited for him to settle down completely before saying, “The recipe you gave me, wasn’t it, something wrong?”
Her voice was soft and she spoke slowly, but her eyes were locked on him, fixed on him.
“The recipe? what recipe?” Lilting his eyelids, he didn’t seem to press on to what it was.
Seeing the way she was staring at him with her lips pursed tightly, Louis seemed to suddenly remember and came to his senses, “oh … you said that thing you were given last time.”
That one was just a gadget I got off the shelf, I haven’t tested it yet, so how do I know if there’s a problem.” He looked like he was taking it for granted, but Vivienne was furious, “You don’t know?!”
“You have it to me without knowing it there was a problem? You’re deliberately trying to hurt me!”
She was furious, but she couldn’t lose her temper, so she kept her anger down and said, word by word, through clenched teeth, “You knew that I was going to win the award for this year’s competition with these two recipes, how could you do this to me! I … I’ve given so much for you!”
” Tch, angry?” Looking at her angry look, Louis smacked his lips in disbelief and even laughed, “Look at you, what’s with the bad temper. It’s just an annual perfume competition, within American borders… it’s just a small event, why Lake it so seriously?”
Vivienne was furious and speechless.
It might be a small event for him, but for her, it meant something completely different.
She had won a lew awards belore with silvia’s work, but because of uncertainty about her strengths and the fact that VL hadn’t qualified for that it earlier years, she hadn’t won a national award and this time, apart from the size of the award, it was more important to move her up in the perfume world so that more bigwigs could see her.
This tune, she wanted to take the opportunity to rise to the top, not only to stand on her own feet in the upper class, but also to break away from Louls’ control completely.
of course, she would not talk to Louis about these things, the most important thing now was the problem of the perfume formula.
“I don’t care, the formula is not working as well as it should you have to help me! Help me tweak the recipe, I want to make it work as soon as possible, I want to win this one!”
with her eyes looking out of the window, she said in a firm tone.
“OK, no problem. So we’ll go to the lab now?” Spreading his hands out, he looked unconcerned and was surprisingly nice to talk to.
Not expecting him to say yes, Vivienne froze, thought that it he went to the lab, he was bound to let Ladarius know
He already had prejudices againsi Louis and suspected the two of them. So wouldn’t that be, big deal

Alter a moment’s silence, Vivienne askel. Can’t you maketjustments if you non’t go? What if I show you the tailed trials?”
“That would be fine” Louis nodded, ” But that certainly wouldn’t work as well, maybe I could figure out what was wrong in one go, or maybe I might not lind it wentelor su
It was as if he was caught in a dead end!
If she didn’t let him go to the lab.she might not find the kiy to the problem, she wouldn’t be able to develop the perfume, she wouldn’t be able to enter the competition, she wouldn’t be able to win the prize, she wouldn’t be able to make it to the top of her life, but it she let him go, not to mention what Ladarius thought, she would be disqualified from the competition if the competition used the evidence as leverage
Propping one hand on the bridge or her nose, she was annoyed.
“Actually…” looking at her, Louis spoke slowly, “I do have an idea, I don’t know if you’d like it.”
“What? Even if there was a glimmer of a possibility. she would want to try it.
“If I remember correctly, your company’s laboratory, is sort of under your control, right?
Vivienne nodded, “I’m the director, that’s for sure!”
Although she hadn’t been there much recently, at least the nominal title was still there.
Louis smiled slightly, “Then it’s entirely up to you when to go to the lab!”
“You mean…”
“During the day, of course, it’s crowded and easy to be spotted and lelt with evidence. But what about at night?”
He paused at that point and looked at her with a meaningtul smile.
Vivienne quickly understood and it was as if a knot in her brain had suddenly been untied and her mind opened up.
That’s right!
There was no way to avoid the crowds during the day, but in the evening, when everyone was off duty, she could take Louis to the lab alone and nol only find out what the problem was, but he could make it himself there.
With him on hand, it would be foolproof and she would still be afraid of not succeeding, of not winning the prize?
But –
Meeting Louis’ gaze, she still couldn’t help but tremble with that slightest hesitation,
“I’m just giving you an idea, it’s up to you if you say yes or no. I’d prefer to get a good night’s sleep anyway.” Hands folded behind his head, he looked indifferent, “Oh, yes! I forgot to tell you, I won’t be staying in LA for long, I’m leaving in a couple of days.”
“If you need my help, you’d better, as soon as possible!”
Vivienne: “…”
She clenched her fingers, weighed the pros and cons and nodded heavily, “Yes! Tonight, I’ll take you to the lab, you must help me find the problem, the perfume must work, it can’t fail!”
