Chapter 982

"Who invited you here? You're not welcome!" Isabella crossed her arms, her eyes filled with disdain.

Felix walked right past her, his gaze locking onto Vivian. "Dr. Laurent, be the judge. Is this attitude appropriate?"

He secretly sighed in relief. That strange phone call from Isabella earlier had made him think something serious happened.

"My attitude?" Isabella scoffed. "Some people really lack self-awareness."

"What did I do?"

"Get lost, player!" She pointed at the door. "Don't dirty Vivian's place."

Felix looked genuinely confused. "Since when am I a player?"

"Stop pretending! Didn't some girl call you 'Brother Felix' all sweetly this afternoon?" Isabella wrinkled her nose in disgust. "Coming straight here after rolling out of some woman's bed? Disgusting."

"That was a business meeting!" Felix pulled out his phone. "I'll send you the club address. Check the surveillance yourself. If there's no evidence, you'll have to call me 'Brother Felix, I was wrong' in front of everyone."

"In your dreams!" Isabella's tone was defiant, but doubt crept into her mind. Could this really be a misunderstanding?

Vivian peeked out from Ethan's embrace. "Isabella, it might really be a misunderstanding. Felix isn't that kind of man."

Felix's eyes lit up. "Dr. Laurent understands. Maybe I should start calling you Sister Viv too?"

Vivian massaged her temples. "Felix, you're several years older than me."

"Age doesn't matter." Felix said seriously. "'Sister Viv' is a title of respect. If you take me under your wing, this tigress won't dare bully me anymore."

"Who are you calling a tigress?!" Isabella bristled.

"The shoe fits." Felix raised an eyebrow.

As their argument threatened to escalate again, Vivian gave Ethan a helpless look.

"Let them bicker." Ethan tightened his arm around her shoulders. "We can talk privately."

"Did you finish handling your company matters?" Vivian looked up at him. He'd arrived much sooner than expected.

"No." Ethan lowered his head, his warm breath brushing her ear. "But wanting to see you overpowered everything else."

The tips of Vivian's ears instantly turned pink.
