The Bored Immortal

Chapter 37 - Tiana Snow

"Wait, what do you mean, Mom? I mean, I am sure we can hire plenty of helpers to help him out, right? It's not like we have to personally babysit him, right?" Tiana asked with a dry chuckle as she looked around only to see no one replying to her statement, especially Sayana, who only lightly tapped her thighs and shook her head with a 'don't say that' gesture.

Tiana mouthed, 'What's the problem?'

"Tiana! Is this how you talk before the same person who needs your help? Or is that how you treat your family? Letting strangers take care of them instead of their own family?" Taya's expression became sharp as she continued in a stern tone, "He is going to study with you in the same college, in the same branch, in the same class. So you will exactly do as I say and help him out, especially in college since he doesn't know anybody else. Is that understood?"

"Whatever," Tiana put out her tongue as she rolled her eyes, feeling quite frustrated that she has to take care of her newfound cousin and felt as if her life was disrupted with his sudden arrival.

"Auntie, it's fine. I-I can learn by myself. I uh...don't want to bother or inconvenience anybody," Viktor said to Taya with an awkward smile as he meekly glanced at Tiana.

Tiana's eyes brightened up as she leaned forward, "See! Even he's telling that. I mean, he is 18 and an adult. I am—"

"Enough! This is not up for discussion. And Dorian, you don't have to feel bad taking help from your family, especially my daughter's. It's high time she did something helpful for once."

Tiana muttered incoherently with a peeved expression while Sayana chimed in with a smile, "Don't worry, Auntie. I will also help him out in college as well. We both will help him out."

"Thank you, Saya. I am sure Dorian will appreciate your help."

"Auntie, I can come to you as well, right? If I need any help?" Viktor asked with puppy eyes.

Taya's face reddened as she knew Viktor was trying to take advantage of the situation. But she could only reply with a smile, "Sure. You can come to me if it involves anything these two can't help you with."

"Thank you, Auntie, for being so kind. I will surely keep that in mind," Viktor said with an innocent smile, but inwardly he couldn't stop grinning, seeing how Taya was trying hard to stop her face puffing up from anger.

"Now that everything has been discussed. Let's eat," Taya said while inwardly letting out a heavy sigh.

Eva noticed how her Madam was easily getting taken advantage of and felt worried if Viktor would try the same with her.

She had no idea how to handle Viktor since he was not like other men and was not someone she could handle like she handles normal people.

Even the fact that she 'threatened' Viktor the first time she interacted with him was not because she wanted to, but because she inwardly panicked and did what she usually does to make people listen, her enemies mostly since she always took part in missions that involved 'taking care' of some people that threatened the Snow Family.

However, thinking about it now, she felt that she was lucky Viktor wasn't the type to hold grudges over such things and was glad that he took it as a joke.

Tiana looked at Sayana with an indignant expression while Sayana was confused about what she was angry at her this time for.

She then let out a snort before tapping the earbuds in her ears and playing the music on her phone.

Viktor curiously looked at the white bud-like thing in her ears and wondered what exactly it was. But he understood that it was probably used to communicate as well and listen to things as he could hear music coming out from those buds in Tiana's ears.

However, by now, he had got an idea of the personality of these two girls and couldn't help but think they are the stark contrast to each other. One was kind and gentle, while the other was rebellious and aggressive, just like Taya warned him.

He then looked at Taya as they communicated with their eyes, 'So you want me to manage a brat?'

'There's no going back,' Taya continued to eat with a subtle smile.

'Fine. No biggie. Sigh, but my role can make it hard to interact with her,' Viktor inwardly sighed.

However, he had to admit that Tiana indeed looked 'smoking hot' and sensuous, especially because of her dressing style.

Her long legs looked so sexy and slender; Viktor was sure boys would go crazy over them with just a glance. And seeing how her bosom was sticking out from underneath her sweatshirt in a tempting way, he was sure it could make one have a nosebleed.

And since Tiana was putting her leg one over the other, it just made her look even more sensuous. If she was wearing a skirt, he might have seen the forbidden region.

He wondered if all modern girls dress this way or if he was missing something here.

However, now that he took a good look, he realized that other than the only man in the house, Brad, the rest were all breathtaking beauties, and as for Sayana, he was sure that despite how her appearance was right now, she was like an unpolished diamond that has yet to show off her true beauty.

He was sure Sayana's true charms and beauty would be no less than her mother's.

'Did I land up in heaven?' Viktor couldn't help but think like that.

He then felt a glare from someone and shifted his gaze to see Taya sending him a subtle glare, asking him indirectly if he was ogling at her daughter.

She couldn't help but feel that she literally invited a wolf into her house.

'Of course not! I was just checking out my target...I mean for research purposes,' Viktor sent back an innocent look to which Taya could only look away with a light snort.

However, he was only curious since he was slightly susprised by her dressing compared to the kind of dresses women usually wore publicly during the old times. He had seen women in all kinds of clothes but never the women from rich families to put on revealing clothes before others.

Brad saw the interaction between these two and softly smiled as he felt nostalgic and also pity at the same time that things didn't end up as he wished.

Umi couldn't help but shoot subtle glances at Viktor thinking about the sensuous moments they shared just before. Even now, she couldn't believe that it was her who did all that and that too with the cute-looking young man sitting silently before her.

Sayana saw her mother smiling at herself at times and also how her face looked slightly reddened. She got a bit worried if her mother was having a fever or something.

The rest of the dinner was silent, and right after Tiana finished eating, she got up and left in a huff, ignoring Taya's glare.

Sayana finished her meal and said softly, "I will go and talk to her."

Umi nodded along with Taya and Sayana while Viktor and the others, including Brad, exchanged glances since now only the four were sitting here other than the maids and servants standing around.
