Chap- 3.
Spitfire: a combustible bomb
Viviana Riess joined the London office of a renowned Investment bank as senior MD, after several job-hopping in most of the world-famous corporate MNC. She was a very different and interesting character from other women. She had an unpredictable volatile temper, perfectly matched with Stalk Market of Wall Street: sometimes too pleasant, even with the genitor, and sometimes too harsh, even to the higher officials for trifling matters. But she was loved by many for her attractive personality.
She had unflinching love for the horse, Real estate, costume and perfume. By birth she was British. She owned a ranch house from her grandmother in the village Crathie near Balmoral of Scotland. Her great grandmother had a friendship with the Royal family. She bought a horse from the Shetland Isles, Scotland and owned three more, from ancestors. She was happy to spend her holidays with her equestrian family. She arranged a company to take proper care for the horses and the ranch.
She was single. But there was gossip around her. She and her high school boyfriend went to study in the Wharton Business school in the USA. After graduation, her boyfriend joined in the Deutsch Bank and Viviana in the Lehman Investment Bank. She went on hopping from job to job, almost in all the #Number one Investment Banks.

She met a hedge-fund tycoon, Jim Carrey of Dallas during her posting in the Goldman Sack. They became very close. Jim Carrey began to visit Goldman Sack in NewYork frequently; and show interest to buy their new product. Viviana got promotion from VP to ED quickly ;perhaps for her special calibre of hooking such a giant client with bright prospect. Goldman had the vigil eye to scan the talent from the crowd.
Soon she shifted to Jim's apartment in Madison Avenue leaving her rented apartment of Westerly building. in Hell's Kitchen . Jim used to come every week end; It remained a mystery whether they were married or not but they lived together in the same luxurious apartment in Madison Avenue.
She worked for long time in Goldman Sack. She used to come every month at her ranch house in London until she met Jim.
Jim, though from the land of Long horn, but he had no love other than money, wine and women.
During her stay in New York Viviana went every year with Jim Carrey in Saratoga(Upstate New York )or Vermont to watch horse race, with the hope to tickle some soft feeling and interest about horse in him.They come together to stay in Vermont just to watch the grazing horses in the green ranch. In one cold winter afternoon, embracing Vivi in one hand wrapped under warm blanket, relaxing on a love couch and with wine cup in other hand Jim commented,
'I never met any woman so crazy about horse, like you!'
There was a subtle bitterness ,cocktail with taunting tune.
Vivi felt a pinch in the comment; with a quick glance she scanned the message in the crooked smile; she remained silent, gazing reluctantly at the grazing horses on the field, but just apparently.....
Jim apprehended the consequent danger of his blunder from her quick icy glance ; but what to do! Once the word slipped from the tongue can't be returned : Just like a bullet from the gun!
But Jim knew it would come back to hit him as boomerang!
To cover up , he rubbed his nose and lips on vivi's cheek dotingly; dragging her closer to his chest whispered, '
'look up to me, honey!... don't make me envious of your old love for quadruped animal, please !' He looked pale, nervous.
To make the atmosphere light , he added, " See I have also four limbs ; Only thing I lack is that I don't own any bushy tail on the back ."
Vivi didn't respond to this joke.
James became now worried.
Then with genuine romantic voice James whispered "listen darling , I love you so much that slightest distraction from you made me mad !" James pressed Vivi more closely against his breast .
Vivi still didn't reply !
With an unusual formal smile she said, "'it is cold ; I am going inside." Releasing herself free from the warm hug and the Raymond blanket, she went inside the room. Jim followed her like a pet,with the last hope to save the romance of this winter night.
They took bullion soup with crunchy garlic bread and pork nugget in dinner along with the swiss pudding in hot chocolate as desserts.
Vivi slipped under the quilt on bed after the dinner ,with a financial magazine; Jim prepared two pegs of ("screaming eagle,NapaValley) wine; passed one to vivi; he threw the magazine by snatching and leaned cozily against the pillows on bed closer to Vivi. Then switched on an old sexy movie of Brigid Bardot to watch together.... 'And God created woman'.
The room was warm; soup also was warm and delicious; hot chocolate was awesome; Above all movie was super hot, still the night remained cold for Jim to keep sleepless;.... and colder;.... and coldest when viviana declared abruptly in the early morning with sipping of the bed tea that she wanted to go back NewYork just after the breakfast.
-"As 'her highness' wishes'!
Jim replied little dramatically, shrugging his shoulder, though the hotel was booked up to next day also.
