Chapter 2: Victor Smith (1)

A/N: My naming sense isn't good, so please understand. It seems like this story will take two chapters. By the way, this is from the romance genre. Also, the country and place are random.

------------------------------------

A black Rolls Royce Phantom roared elegantly through the traffic of London.

Inside the car, in the back seat, sat Victor, a 35 year-old-man. Victor was one of the wealthiest people in England, worth more than 15 billion pounds.

He wore a formal black suit, black hair, a beard and a cigar in his mouth as he scrolled through his tablet.

"Are you sure you wanna do it? I mean, don't you have meetings?" The driver/secretary asked. His name was Brock. He was Victor's secretary and also a very old friend.

"Hmm, he's a friend of mine. One of the very few I have and also a business partner. Anyways, shut up and drive, don't question your boss." Victor said. He did not look in Brock's direction even once while speaking.

"But I am your secret-" Brock was pleading to Victor but was interrupted.

"Still your boss..." Victor said.

Brock then continued driving after being oppressed and had a disappointed expression.

"By the way, the designer we are going to meet, was her name Olivia Gordon?" Victor asked. He put down his tablet and looked out the window.

"Yup, her name is Olivia Gordon. She is one of the best fashion designers in the world and is also pretty popular right now. She is beautiful and has worked as a model too. She has b-" Brock was interrupted by Victor once again.

"...Did you start stalking her?" Victor asked.

"Nope, but we're here. You can see her on your own." Brock said as he stopped the car in front of a building.

'Haha, Olivia Gordon....she has the same name.' Victor thought in his mind as he got off the car.

Victor, along with Brock and a few guards walked inside the building.

After using the elevator to get to the 4th floor, the guards stopped outside the shop Victor had to go to since they were not allowed to head any further. 

"Welcome, Mr Smith. We have been waiting for you." A woman standing behind a table greeted Victor as soon as he entered the shop.

"Hmm. Where is Ms Olivia Gordon?" Victor asked before heading any further inside.

"That is me, I am Olivia Gordon. Why are you looking for me?" A soft and beautiful voice came from Victor's left.

As soon as Victor looked in that direction, he was surprised.

The woman, Olivia Gordon, had blue eyes just like the ocean, blonde hair and a slim figure with a beautiful face.

"Y-You're Ms Olivia Gordon?" Victor asked as he started to remember someone he used to know.

"Yes, I am. What work do you have with me?" Olivia asked as she rustled through some papers. She did not even look at Victor once.

"I had an appointment with Ms Olivia Gordon. I need a suit for a wedding." Victor answered with some hidden happiness and excitement.

Olivia frowned. She looked at the lady who stood behind the table.

After Olivia saw the woman nod, she looked at Victor.

"Sir, please come here," Olivia said as she escorted Victor to a room behind her.

"Please remove your coat and stand here for a moment," Olivia said as she pointed to a chair.

She then went and brought a measuring tape. She started taking measures for Victor's clothes.

"You know, sir, you resemble someone I used to love," Olivia said while she was busy working.

"Really?" Victor asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes. We were dating 13 years ago, I loved him a lot. His name was Victor Smith. Back then, we planned to marry each other but my father did not agree with our marriage since Victor was an orphan with no money. I planned to run away with him but before I could tell him, he disappeared from the town. In the end, I ran away alone and then started working. I have been waiting for him to meet me for 13 years now...he must have moved on...it's not like I care too much either... Oh sorry if I made you uncomfortable, sir." Olivia said as she finished taking the measurements.

Victor was slowly getting excited as Olivia spoke since he was the same Victor she was talking about and he still loved her too. But, the last line broke his heart and made him lose all the excitement.

"...Are we done?" Victor asked.

"Yes sir, please just sign here," Olivia said as she handed Victor a sheet.

Victor signed and quickly wore his coat.

"Thank you for choo-" Olivia was talking but Victor opened the door and said in a cold voice, "Please get the clothes ready quickly." and left the room.

".....what a rude piece of sh*t," Olivia said as her expression got ugly.

A glance of her fell on the sign that Victor just made and ignored it at first but, when she looked at it again, she panicked.

"H-He joked with me about what I said, right?" Olivia said. She still rushed to the reception to confirm.

"Hey, Samantha, who was the person who just came?" Olivia asked.

"Hmm, Ms Cynthia just came through the entry," Samantha answered.

"Not her, I mean the man who came to me." 

"Oh him? He was very hot, right? Well, he is Victor Smith, one of the richest people in our country... Something wrong, Olivia?" Samantha asked.

Olivia was now regretting what she just did and kept her hand on her forehead.

"You know the Victor I told you about?" Olivia asked Samantha.

"Yup, your previous boyfriend because of whom you just don't date anybody," Samantha answered.

"Yup, it was him. Victor Smith..." Olivia said.

Samantha was silent for a moment but then she said, "He left some time ago so he must be out of the building. Not here anymore... Why don't you call him with an excuse of clothes and talk with him??" 

"No, there is no point in that now. It is his wedding soon." Olivia answered.

"His wedding?" Samantha asked.

"Yes, that is what he came for, right?" Olivia asked.

"No no, it is his friend's wedding, not his. Victor Smith must be a guest." 

"...How do you know this?" Olivia asked.

"Cause I look at the news, not like you. Talk to him soon if you still love him" Samantha said.

Olivia smiled and turned around to go back but she suddenly stopped and went to Samantha.

"Hey, there is something else too..." Olivia said.

"What?" Samantha asked.

"Long story short, I told him about our story thinking that he was someone else and...in the end I said that I don't love him anymore...What should I do?" Olivia asked.

Samantha thought for a while but then spoke, "See babe, there is no problem in trying, right? There is no feeling worse than regret. If back then I had done this or that..."

"Hmm, alright. I will tell him the truth..." Olivia said as she went back to the room.
