Chapter 48 - Chapter_48_ Crimson Lumiere

The two were still in the state of disbelief when they pulled up at the main entrance of the Emerald Water Complex. The security there was tight and the van was stopped. 

 

Even then the manager and assistant duo were ninety percent sure that the security would not allow them to enter and that Viviana had just eaten something that made her delusional. 

 

But to their surprise, when the security came over to check on them, all Viviana did was pulled down her window. And the uniformed guard immediately paused his action of approaching and even bowed to her direction before signaling at the person in the gate station to open the gate. 

 

Viviana nodded to the gentleman and told Elisa to drive.

 

The two in the car: "!!!"

 

'She really has a property here?'

 

And as though they had not been surprised enough, Viviana directed Elisa to drive to a place and they saw the sign that was written in Golden color. 

[Golden Crown]

 

 

If the tall building itself did not say enough of the wealth of the people in the building, the parking lot surely did. Elisa felt as though she had entered a show room of all the luxurious and fancy cars that existed in the whole world. 

 

And the fact that Viviana did not even faze an eye at those cars as she walked past them. It was as though they were grass in her eyes and nothing to look at. 

 

The Golden Crown Building had a total of forty floors. But when they entered the elevator, there were only fifteen keys to press, with 13 being the highest floor. And Viviana pressed the 8th floor. 

 

The ride took three times more than a typical trip on to the eight floor. And when the elevator opened there was only one huge door in front of them. The two did not see any other 'room' on this floor. 

 

And it was only when Viviana opened the door that they finally know that Viviana was not joking. But they still could not believe that she was the owner of one of the most luxurious apartments in the costliest city of the country. 

 

"Is this really your property?" 

'Maybe Viviana is not the named owner of the place. But someone who had access to it.' An Mey thought. 

But the answer that came from the actress told her that it was not it.

 

"Do you want me to show you the property statement?" Vivi raised an eyebrow.

 

"No…" An Mey shook her head. 

The manager now had even more question about the girl's identity. And she was beginning to imagine all sort of weird stuffs that could explain Viviana's behavior.

 

But as they walked into the house, the two, Elisa and An Mey were like nomads who had suddenly entered a grand palace. Marveling at every detail of the apartment. They could see the tall glass wall facing the lake, giving them a wonderful view of the greenish blue water body and the vegetation around it. 

 

The crystal chandelier hanging from the top. The expensive looking furniture and also the fact that there were three floors in this apartment. All of these they had never associated with Viviana ever.

 

After being quiet for a few minutes, An Mey questioned again, 

 

"Did you really buy this place?"

 

Her eyes were still skeptical… Elisa also watched curiously without saying a word. But Viviana did not entertain their curiosity anymore. They had more important things to handle first.

"Come up with me. You can ask the questions later." Viviana saw that desire for answers in her manager's eyes. "We'll be late if we don't hurry."

 

"Hmm…" The manager nodded. 'There'll be time later…' 

 

An Mey thought as she followed Viviana to the second floor. Elisa too joined them. And the two were taken into what they could describe as a show room of a luxury fashion brand. There were countless clothes of different styles hanging in the room arranged like that in a show room. Shoes, bags, hats, watches, jewels, accessories. Name anything, it was in the room. 

 

An Mey recognized many high-end brands amongst them and could only look at the person whose back was turned at her. Coming here did not help in solving any mystery behind this girl. But served to add more.

 

"Do you think this is good?" Viviana asked as she pulled out the long black dress.

 

"That…" An Mey checked out the dress. "This should be okay. But don't you think it's a bit too low key. You'll look like you're going for a funeral in this. And your make up might not match this outfit."

 

"Hmm…" Viviana nodded before suggesting. "How about adding some accessories?"

 

"Accessories… Like?" Manager An asked.

 

"Wait a minute." 

 

Vivi then shoved the black dress onto the older woman's hand while she began to open the drawer and search for something. It was not that An Mey did not have any idea of adding accessories for Vivi. But since she was planning to bring up the actress, she cannot just hand her some random jewelry. 

 

And the agent and Lyra would mess things up if she tried to get something of value for Vivi. Or expose her intention on Vivi and ruin both their futures for the worse.

 

But seeing the things in the closet, she had some hope that Vivi might own some good jewelry. And she indeed did.

 

The 'Crimson Lumiere' was a set of jewelry designed by a well-known designer consisting of a pendant, a necklace, a pair of earrings, a bracelet and a ring. The combined value of which would cost up to 300,000 Nott. 

 

"Wearing these should match with my makeup now." Viviana took out the earring and put it up to her ear and looked at her own reflection. 

 

They trio did not have too much time in their hands. So, despite the desire to interrogate Vivi at the spot, the two could only hold their tongue and wait for the event to end.

 

And hopefully, Viviana would give them direct answers this time.
