Babel Novel
Stay away from Max!
She was deeply in love with that man despite knowing that she was far below his standard. But she was hopeful. One day, her dreams would come through. One day, she’d become Mrs Shawn Mandez.
She prays he doesn’t fall in love with someone else and gets married to the person before she meets up with him. Her dreams would be crushed.
Although Shawn was several years older than her, Vivian didn’t care at all. It was even better that way. Older men were more caring and loving than agemates.
“I know mummy. I’m trying my best.” Vivian blushed deeply as she responded to Barbara.
“Very good, my baby. Keep working harder. Before you know it, you’ll graduate from school and become a successful actress in Beats Entertainments. Like you’ve always wanted.”
“That way, it would be easier for you…” the older woman was grinning from ear to ear as she spoke.
Barbara wanted nothing but the best for her daughter. And she was going to see to it that Vivian got nothing but the best.
Back to the present day:
“Awwwwwn.” Vivian squeaked happily as she clicked on the notification she had just received.
Her dearly beloved had just posted an update and she so eagerly wanted to see what it was.
The man rarely posted anything-just once in a couple of months… And each post he made were business related updates-branch openings, company collaborations and the likes.
Despite them being boring, Vivian was always excited to see those updates. They were her only means of connection to him.
She had even set her phone in such a way that whenever he made a post online, she would immediately get notified. That way, she was always one of the firsts to see.
The smile on Vivian’s face vanished and her forehead creased when she saw Shawn Mandez’s latest update.
It was a picture of a bottle of liquor and the trash emoji was used as the caption beneath the picture.
Huh…?
‘Does he not like alcohol?’
She was utterly confused and surprised at the same time.
This was the first time Shawn Mandez would post something completely unrelated to work.
She quickly clicked on the comments section and skimmed through the comments.
Although it was yet up to a minute that Shawn made the post, hundreds of netizens had already dropped their comments under his post:
“City’s sweetheart doesn’t like liquor?”
