Read online Never Late, Never Away free Chapter 53

As Fabian spoke, he thought of something once more and his face got smugger. “Oh wait, I forgot that you were already priced like that two years ago. But that was your first time, wasn’t it? Now, you are just a piece of trash that has been toyed with by dozens of men. You should be contented that––”

Slap!

Before he could finish, Vivian unleashed her anger and sent her palms across his cheeks. She could no longer tolerate his attitude.

The slap was unexpected for Fabian. He was instantly dumbstruck as he held onto his red cheek and looked at the woman in shock and surprise.

Her previously pale face was now flushed red with fury. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she refused to let them roll down her cheeks and bit hard on her lips.

Fabian felt a knife stab through his heart.

Even though he intended to hurt Vivian, his heart ached when he saw her in that state. There was not a tinge of satisfaction he felt.

She continued to glare at him and controlled her tears. Gritting her teeth, she spat, “Fabian, I f**king regret falling in love with you.”

Then, she pushed him away and walked down the corridor without turning back.

Fabian was still glued to his spot, looking as though he lost his soul. After what seemed like an eternity, Zoe walked out of the Department of Finance to head to the restroom and saw him standing there like a statue.

“M-Mr. Norton?” Zoe jumped in surprise.

Fabian finally recovered his senses and looked at her. “Zoe, do you know why Vivian wants an advance on her salary?”

Zoe was in a dilemma. However, Fabian was the Chief Editor and it would not be wise to lie to him. She blurted, “Vivian’s mom is very sick and the treatment is very costly, which is why she asked for an advance. Mr. Norton, please don’t be angry with her.”

Very sick? Hospital bills?

Fabian did not expect such a response and was stunned.

On the other hand, Vivian knew that she was too angry and upset to work. Hence, she swapped her duty with Jenny and took the rest of the day off.

She hailed a cab and headed back to the Norton family’s villa. After she arrived, she walked to the entrance and removed her shoes. However, she was too tired to step in and sat at the door instead, lost in her own thoughts.

Fabian, Fabian… You are just too good.

Whenever I thought you couldn’t hurt me deeper, you always find a more ruthless way to torment me.
