A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 149

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 149

Amused by Vivian’s silliness, Finnick burst out in laughter.

It was only then that Vivian came to her senses and immediately buttoned up her lips, ready to get up.

However, the moment she got to her feet, Finnick grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.

Vivian slumped onto his lap, and before she could exclaim aloud, Finnick gripped her chin and pressed his lips against hers, muffling her gasps.

In contrast to their previous soft kiss, this was an imperious and possessive one.

He quickly parted her lips, raiding and marking his territory while his grip tightened as if he was binding her to him.

It seemed as though time had stopped. When he reluctantly let go of Vivian and looked at the woman who was flushing like a red apple in his arms, his heart melted. He whispered in her ear, “Vivian, thank you for believing in me.”

And thank you for appearing in my bleak and despairing life.

…

Vivian took half a month’s leave to recuperate at home, and eventually, even she felt guilty herself and pestered to return to work in Glamour Magazine.

After all, she had taken too much leave, so she was afraid of being laid off.

With Vivian returning to the magazine company after such a long while, everyone at work was very concerned about her health. Apparently, most of them had realized the past rumors about her were mainly misunderstandings. Therefore, they became excessively ardent toward her.

But of course, there was one exception—Shannon.

As soon as Shannon saw Vivian, she started with a twinge of jealousy, “Oh dear, Vivian the princess has come back to work? I thought your backer is so powerful that you could just make money lying in bed all day.”

There was only resentment in Shannon’s eyes when she looked at Vivian.

When she met Ashley at the mall the other day, she thought she could sabotage Vivian with help from Ashley. But it was unknown to her why Ashley left in a hurry after she tattled about Vivian and took no action afterward.
