A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2126

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2126

“Everything’s ready, Larry. Shall we set off now?” Caspian asked softly.

Larry cracked his neck, his eyes once again filled with tiredness. He walked to the window and surveyed his surroundings before letting out a deep breath.

Without any hesitation, he grabbed his phone and strode out of his office. “Let’s go!”

The airport seemed busier than usual. Thanks to the glorious weather, everyone seemed to be in a cheerier mood. There were many heartwarming sights of people hugging and kissing.

And then there was Larry, looking stoic and cold.

“Larry, shall we go over to the waiting area?” Caspian suggested.

“There’ll be no need for that. She’ll be out soon.”

Caspian felt mildly embarrassed as he looked at the many couples behaving intimately in front of them. But since Larry didn’t want to move, he had no choice but to stay rooted in his spot.

At long last, the woman in the photo finally showed up. Larry looked a little domineering as he marched up to her with his hands in his pockets. He stood there, blocking her way.

The woman took off her shades slowly and eyed Larry curiously.

Wow, this man sure is good looking! He’s got high cheekbones and a strong jawline. And despite looking cool and distant, he still radiates a gentlemanly charm.

“Nice to meet you. I’m Jessica Zimmer. And you are?” She held her hand out as she introduced herself.

Caspian was taken aback by her reaction. He had expected her to kick up a fuss and run. Never had he expected her to take the initiative to greet Larry.

Larry went straight to the point, his tone polite. “Nice to meet you too, Ms. Zimmer. I’m Larry Norton. Are you free today? I’d like to buy you a meal if you are.”

Jessica remembered her father instructing her not to come back for the time being. Apparently, something had happened in the company, and he wanted her to stay overseas until things blew over. Alas, she had to come back to attend her friend’s wedding. She just never expected Larry to show up this soon at the airport.

“Mr. Norton? Sure, it’d be my pleasure to have a meal with you,” Jessica replied, her platform heels clicking against the floor tiles as she moved to walk out.

“Before that, however, I’ll have to make a trip home first to put my luggage.”
