A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1097

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1097

Biting her lips, Hannah was like a terrified little rabbit. Her heartbeat raced rapidly as her breathing quickened. How should I answer him? Do I tell him the truth? What if that angers him more? But won’t it be worse if I get caught for telling lies?

“I conducted an interview and then attended a social event.” Hannah was hoping that her ambiguous answer could satisfy him.

“With who?” Fabian more or less knew what happened as he had called Hannah’s senior editor. However, he wanted to hear what she would say.

Inhaling a deep breath, she decided to come clean with him. I didn’t do anything wrong anyway.

“Xavier Jackson.” She continued, “Mr. Dijon requested me to send him the article I wrote. Then, Xavier wanted to treat me to dinner. I did try to reject him, but to no avail, so I went out with him. When I saw your missed calls, I came back right away without even finishing the food.”

Hmm… Good, very honest. You should be thankful that you didn’t lie to me. Otherwise, you would face harsh consequences. Did you clear the air so that I won’t misunderstand you?

“Would you like to have some more to eat?” Fabian smirked.

Hannah was confused by his expression. Was he being sarcastic or did he mean it literally?

“I’m good. I don’t want to consume too much food at night.” Regardless of his intention, the best solution right now is to say no.

“If you say so. Let’s have a chat then.” Fabian gestured her to sit beside him.

Chat? What is there to talk about? The last time he wanted to have a chat, we broke into a fight. What will happen this time?

As much as Hannah was reluctant, she still strode over to the sofa and took a seat. “What is it that you want to talk about? Go ahead.”
