Chapter 19 – Interrogation
Vivian had been irked by Jonathan’s indifference but fortunately, the heavens were in her favor and things were looking great for her.
She had boosted her image, her brand got free publicity, the sales had increased, and she finally managed to find the mysterious head of L&L Designs.
Her lackeys in the Smith Group informed her that the girl had spent quite some time in Jonathan’s office.
As much as she hated other women spending time with the man she had considered her own, Vivian could only endure it for the time being.
She asked her assistant to figure out who she was.
Within 2 hours she had her information – Jennifer Cox, came to P city from Maple City a week before.
Her other information had been hidden. But these fit the bill.
Vivian knew that the head of L&L was a young woman in her mid-late twenties, was from P city, had established herself in Maple city. It proved their speculation, Jennifer was the head of L&L Designs indeed.
Vivian had someone follow her after she exited Smith Group, and sure enough, she drove straight to the Central Mall and looked after the renovations.
Vivian then bumped into her by ‘coincidence’.
“Oh, I am so sorry. I was just so busy on the phone. Are you alright?” Vivian asked Jennifer.
“It’s alright Miss. I was not paying attention either. No harm done.” Jennifer smiled and turned to leave.
Vivian looked around and asked curiously, “Pardon the intrusion, but I saw you checking out the renovations. Are you perchance the head of L&L design who has been the talk of the town recently?”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Jennifer looked stunned as she answered, “No! No! How can I be her? You are mistaken.”
Vivian only smiled craftily at her, “Oh I’m sorry. I could not hold back the curiosity.”
Jennifer heaved a sigh, “That’s alright.”
Vivian replied in the most humble tone she could fake, “How about I buy you coffee as an apology?”
Jennifer looked at her curiously and denied, “Please don’t. I was also at fault here.”
Vivian insisted, “Please I insist. Otherwise, it’ll nag at my conscience.”
After a lot of back and forth, Jennifer ended up having an awkward coffee date with Vivian where she was covertly and overtly interrogated.
She slurped her coffee with much haste, burning her tongue a couple of times, and fled.
Vivian smiled triumphantly looking at her retreating back.
Everything about her proved that she was indeed the head of L&L Designs.
The rumors that the head of L&L Designs has strong backing must be true given Jennifer Cox was truly a timid person.
But everything about her proved that she was sophisticated.
Vivian could not be happier.
Since her competitor was so timid, it made her job so much easier.
