Never Late, Never Away Chapter 659
“Mr. Norton.” Vivian bowed at Finnick’s presence, indicating she was there as his subordinate.
“Have a seat.” He beckoned her over to join him.
Vivian cut the small talk and took a seat as instructed, showing him the summary of the progress over the past week.
Finnick felt awful because Vivian had made herself clear; the sole reason she was there was for work. He couldn’t do anything about it because he ran out of better ideas to reach her.
“Mr. Norton, Hunter is the candidate for our upcoming issue because we wish to ride the wave of the last issue’s success.” After she finished reporting the summary, Vivian brought up the proposal to acquire Finnick’s consent.
“No!”
When Finnick turned her down without a second thought, Vivian got worked up. “Why? The decision has been collectively made after much consideration. Hunter is the best candidate. Can you please reconsider your decision, Mr. Norton?”
“Do I need a reason to turn down the proposal? Is there anything else?” Finnick’s expression darkened out of the blue.
He couldn’t be bothered if Hunter was the best candidate or not because he would never allow her anywhere his rival.
At the end of the day, Finnick was her supervisor. Therefore, she couldn’t possibly defy him during work. Albeit reluctantly, Vivian had no choice but to listen to Finnick.
After he turned down the proposal, Finnick directed a few simple questions at Vivian, including the composition of text, the areas to be focused on, and the corresponding market research.
Vivian was infuriated because she had included those in the summary a few minutes ago. Is he trying to waste my time? Has he not paid attention? If he doesn’t really care, why has he summoned me here?
Although she was fed up, she managed to keep her composure and put on a calm front.
