A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2600

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2600

“Ms. Watts, do you have some time tomorrow? I’ve got something to discuss with you,” Hubert said straightforwardly, though he sounded diffident.

“Sure,” Joan replied over the phone.

Hubert was the previous owner of the photography studio. He handed it over to Joan because his whole family moved abroad. Now, Jake pressured him to come back and retake the photography studio.

The next day, Joan sat on the corner of the café and looked out the window. She looked composed but failed to conceal the sorrow in her eyes.

“Ms. Watts,” Hubert greeted her as he arrived.

“Hubert, what can I do for you?” Joan asked.

“How’s everything recently? Are you okay?”

“I’m doing well,” Joan replied after taking a sip of her coffee.

Nonetheless, Hubert could feel that she probably wasn’t doing well, for she kept avoiding his gaze.

“Ms. Watts, if you feel that running a photography studio is difficult, I’m willing to take over it,” Hubert wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said.

What does he mean? Is he going to snatch the photography studio back? Joan stared at him in disbelief.

“Hubert, you insisted on handing the photography studio over to me back then. Besides, I paid your for it,” she argued.

“You know, I’m just worried that the photography studio would eventually shut down due to mismanagement.” Hubert came up with an excuse.

“Rest assured that our business is good,” she said confidently.

Hubert certainly knew that she wouldn’t hand over the photography studio to him easily.

“I’ll be frank with you. Jake wants to acquire your photography studio,” Hubert declared as though he had given up on giving more excuses.

Upon hearing it, Joan was startled.

She was aware that Jake was an influential figure, while his family was also powerful in the area. However, she never thought that he would covet her photography studio.

Mm, I think it’s all because of Faye!

Joan lowered her head, looking crestfallen.

“I understand,” she replied.
