A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Vivian’s heart skipped a beat at his response.

What do | think? | don’t even need to think about it!

Despite her inner thoughts, she still managed to quirk her lips up in a small grin. “Let me guess... A man with such outstanding achievements as yourself, I’m certain that you’re already
married. Am | right, Mr. Norton?”

Thereafter, she avoided his gaze, as guilt crept up on her. In the next instant, she berated herself for feeling so.

Why should | feel guilty? He’s the one who had concealed his real identity from me! He kept pretending that he didn’t know me! I’m not in the wrong here!

Across from her, Finnick took note of the minor changes in her expressions, as her conflicting emotions played out, all over her face.

Almost imperceptibly, his lips twitched upwards.

Even before this interview, he already knew that she would be the one who would be interviewing him. In all actuality, it was probably more accurate to say that he had only agreed to it
because he found out that she worked at Glamour Magazine.

She thought that today was the first time that they had met. In truth, he had seen her three days ago when she was on a blind date.

At that time, he was quite certain that he had never seen her before. Yet, somehow, she seemed incredibly familiar to him. Thus, he instructed his men to investigate her.

It was pure coincidence that he had met her again, this morning, at the Civil Affairs Bureau. The man whom she was supposed to marry had not shown up. He had even called to humiliate
her.

Recalling the information that his men had found out, he had approached her and suggested that they marry each other instead.

He had tossed the earlier question to her to answer because he wanted to tease her. He had not expected that she would be so nervous and shy about it. It did not match what he had
known of her past at all.

The serene look on his face was unchanging as he uttered, “Yes, I’m already married. It only happened in the past few days actually.”

As he said that, his eyes flicked over to Vivian, causing her heart to pound faster.

“Mr. Norton, you’re already married? Aww, all our female readers are going to be heartbroken!” Sarah sighed mournfully before she perked up and prodded, “I wonder what sort of woman Mr.
Norton's wife is? Is she a daughter from one of the influential families?”

“Alright, that’s enough of asking Mr. Norton about his private life. Let's move on to the questions related to the company.” Not wanting to linger on the topic of marriage for too long, Vivian
hurriedly brought the interview back on track.

“I’m very happy to have received this interview from Glamour Magazine.” Finnick shook each of their hands after the session had ended. When it was Vivian’s turn, he paused for a second,
his gaze fixed on the ring that she was wearing. His lips curled up into a smirk. “What a beautiful ring.”
