A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1703

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1703

So you’re Nancy Barrymore! My so-called fiancée who dumped me for no reason!

That was the only thought that popped into Jory’s head when her name was revealed. However, he did not feel the slightest hint of hatred, which he had originally expected to have when they finally met. In fact, he realized he did not hate her at all. On the contrary, he seemed to have developed an interest in her.

“What a coincidence! This is the third time we meet, and I finally get to know your name. I’m really sorry for what happened just now. Why don’t I buy you a drink?” Jory took note of her crushed hand from earlier and decided to right his wrong.

Nancy was thinking along the same lines. “That’s what I was thinking! I’m really sorry for my rude behavior the other day. I haven’t thanked you enough for fixing my car.”

Simon was startled by their instant friendliness and willingness to buy each other a drink. Do they know each other already? Who has introduced them, and when did it all happen? There was no room for him to think, for the two young people had cheerfully left his office to get some drinks.

Jory and Nancy had gone to a bar with a rather unique ambience. It was unlike other bars she had seen before, which were mostly smoky, reeked of cigarettes, frequented by men looking for pleasure and women with obscure faces.

Jory simply ordered two glasses of wine with relatively low alcohol content, and was first to break the stalemate. “I didn’t expect our third meeting to turn out like this. To be honest, you’re quite different from what I imagined.”

Nancy grinned. “Oh, do tell me. What kind of image did you have of me? And how has that perception changed now that we’re formally introduced?”

Jory looked up at the crystal chandelier, with its sparkling glass crystals, hanging above him. After putting in some thought, he said, “Well, for starters, before I met you, you sounded like the kind of woman who would jump to conclusions about other people despite not knowing them well. When I met you, I thought of you as arrogant and capricious. Now, after meeting you for the third time, you’re actually quite alright.
