A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1434

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1434

Hannah nodded in agreement. Ever since her return, Natasha had offered to help her move and, hence, had never gotten around to meet their senior editor. That certainly would not do, for it would leave a bad impression.

After some consideration, Hannah said, “Oh, that’s a good idea. We can clean up your desk while we’re at it, so that it’s ready for you tomorrow.”

She rose from her seat, and then addressed both Natasha and Xavier, “Alright, we’re leaving.”

Hannah led them to the shop entrance. Xavier, who was walking behind the two women, checked his wristwatch for the time. He frowned. Apparently, it was getting late. If he insisted on following Hannah, she would not be pleased. He supposed it would be better for him to excuse himself than to make her resent him.

At the entrance of the shop, Xavier had the sense to stop there and bade farewell to Hannah. “Ms. Young, I enjoyed our dinner together. I do look forward to the next occasion,” he said.

After they parted ways, Xavier got into his car and barked instructions at his assistant. “Get to Hannah’s neighborhood now. I want you to purchase the house right opposite hers. No, scratch that. I’ll do it myself.”

The assistant almost fell out of the driver’s seat when he heard that. Excuse me? What are you playing at this time, Mr. Jackson?

Xavier’s assistant considered the order, and then proceeded to ask his boss, “Mr. Jackson, don’t we have a contract to sign?”

“Shut it, will you? Didn’t you hear me? Can’t you see what’s at stake here? There’s always time to make money later, but if I lose sight of the woman I love, I don’t know when I’ll get another chance!”

Xavier could not help but roll his eyes at his assistant as he lectured him. What a fool! This brat almost cost me the greatest happiness of my life!

“Y-Yes, Mr. Jackson!”

The assistant obeyed with a silly smile on his face. He then turned the steering wheel around and drove the car onto the road.

“Mr. Jackson, you really don’t have to deal with such a minor issue yourself. Why don’t you leave it to me? In the meantime, you can head over to the other place and get the contract signed,” the assistant suggested boldly.
