A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2008

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2008

The assistant who had been standing aside quickly placed the documents back on the table, a cautious expression on his face. Larry glanced disdainfully at the woman before him and continued to work.

“Lars!” a woman outside the office screamed hysterically.

Larry had informed the receptionist that Gabriella was persona non grata. She was now blocking Gabriella from entering the office.

“Get out of my way! Don’t you know who I am? I’m Gabriella Ward!”

Gabriella landed a hard slap on the receptionist’s cheek.

The receptionist glared at her with rage burning in her eyes.

“Ms. Ward, Mr. Norton gave specific orders that you were not to enter his office. I didn’t tell you this so you could leave with your dignity intact, but you’ve left me with no choice. You should leave,” the receptionist stated coldly.

While she had but a handful of interactions with Gabriella, she could tell that Gabriella was an incredibly difficult person. She could also tell that Larry despised her very existence.

“Nonsense! That’s a load of crap! Lars wouldn’t stop me from entering his office. I’m going to be his wife, and I’m pregnant with his child!” Gabriella shouted.

All eyes turned to her at that moment.

“Is she crazy? Mr. Norton’s been married for ages.”

“Yea, how could she claim to be his fiancée? She’s delusional!”

“She’s definitely trying to sink her claws into Mr. Norton.”

A few women began gossiping about the commotion.

“I’m telling the truth! You’d do well to respect me, or I’ll screw all of you once I’m married to Larry!” Gabriella pointed menacingly at the gossips.

“That’s creepy as hell. Let’s go!”

“If she really becomes Mrs. Norton, I’m going to quit!”

The gossips commented snidely.
