Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover

Chapter 1969 Protecting You Is My Mission

The two colleagues were close because they hung out often and knew each other rather well. Vivian, who had been slouching, nodded when she heard that question. “Yeah, he’s leaving.” “Leaving? Where is he going? Why isn’t he staying here with you?”

For the longest time, Vivian couldn’t answer. See? That is what everybody assumed would happen, so why am I not allowed to have those same thoughts? Isn’t it normal for me to want to build my career and have him here with me all the time?

Vivian tilted her head back down. Sadly, she replied, “He’s going to Gronga because the people there have been waiting for him to clock in for a while now.” “Huh?”

Suddenly, the light glowing in Vivian’s colleague’s eyes changed. He became more understanding. “I guess that makes sense. Your boyfriend is the top student who graduated in architecture last year and is the prized student of his professors here. I heard that he recently got his Masters as well, so I guess you really shouldn’t stand in his way.”

“I’m standing in his way?” “No, no. Sorry. That was a poor choice of words. What I meant is that it would be a waste to keep his talents hidden. If he were to build a career, he would likely overtake Mikaela Weasley.”

Mikaela Weasley was the most famous architect in the world. Vivian was stunned. She stared numbly at her colleague and couldn’t speak for quite some time.

Twenty minutes later, Kurt showed up right in front of her. He was like a tornado and come to her in a blink of an eye. He didn’t even say a word before he held her wrist. “Kurt?”

Vivian was scared. She stared blankly at the guy with bloodshot eyes, and her mind turned numb. He was terrifying at the time, and she had never seen that side of him before.

“Come here with me. I need to talk to you about something,” said Kurt. He had tried his best to calm himself down to prevent scaring her.

Unfortunately, even as he was holding her, his hand was still trembling. He also had to work especially hard to keep his tone even. Vivian had no choice but to follow him along.
