A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1751

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1751

The computer on the desk attracted Gabriella’s gaze. She had tried to unlock his computer before, but as expected, his password was too secure to be hacked.

Gabriella used to be the heiress of a rich family. If she ever wanted something, others would bestow it to her right away. Not even a two-factor authentication system could faze her. If she wanted to hack it, there would definitely be a group of highly skilled hackers rushing to unlock it for her.

Yet, times had changed. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She slammed her right fist on Jory’s desk so forcefully that the computer trembled as well.

Gabriella walked toward the water dispenser, poured herself a cup of warm water, and sat on the couch leisurely, waiting for Jory to return. Since he did not lock the door, it meant that he would certainly return.

“An office building?” Nancy looked at Jory, puzzled. “Didn’t you say that you’re bringing me to your office? Why are we at a random building?”

Jory pressed a button on the lift. “Yeah, my office’s here.”

“I thought that your office would be at Alpire Group…” Nancy teased, “I’d assume that the son of Alpire Group’s chairman would at least be the general manager.”

Jory placed his arms on his waist. “You’re overthinking it. Do you think that the old man would willingly pass the position to me after I fell out with him? My family practices a merit-based system, not a hereditary one.”

Deep in thought, Nancy nodded. “Yeah, that sounds about right. The position of chairman or general manager must be reserved for talented and capable people.”

Jory nodded subconsciously but soon discovered the implicit message hidden in her words. He even foolishly agreed to what she said. Pinching her cheek gently, he said, “Are you saying that I’m neither talented nor capable?”
