A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 687

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 687

“Chief Editor, it’s not that much safer for two women to go over on their own. Let the boys and I come with you,” suggested a male colleague in a worried tone.

“No, there’s no need for that. We only have a few men around, and most of us are already at camp. You boys should stay guard over here, just in case. The girls would be defenseless if something happens while you’re gone,” instructed Vivian sternly.

Everyone tagged along happily to go on a vacation with Vivian, so she had to make sure that everyone was safe and would go home in one piece.

“But then, who would protect the two of you?” pointed out a guy. Vivian’s words made sense to him, but he was still worried about letting two women leaving on their own.

“Gah, stop wasting time and talking bullsh*t. Sarah is still waiting for rescue,” said Shannon before Vivian could even speak up. She later added, “The Chief Editor is armed with pepper spray, so we should be fine. Stop worrying needlessly, will you? Besides, she is right. The most important thing is to make sure that everyone is safe.”

After that, Shannon turned to Vivian and continued, “Vivian, let’s hurry over. Sarah and I aren’t on good terms, but we have been colleagues for years. If anything were to happen to her, I-I’d feel terrible.”

Shannon’s voice was thick with tears when she said those words, and sorrow donned her face. No one would suspect her words under those circumstances.

“It’s fine, Lionel. Stay here with the others and keep everyone safe. Shannon and I will go look for Sarah,” instructed Vivian quickly to the guy at her side. Then, she dragged Shannon towards the path Shannon came from earlier.

“Shannon, where did you hear Sarah’s call for help? Why haven’t we heard anything, even though we’ve gone so far?” asked Vivian. She was getting worried because they were venturing further away from camp.

At first, Vivian assumed that they wouldn’t be traveling that far from camp, but they had since gotten to the deeper parts of the wood. Despite that, they still hadn’t reached the place Shannon was talking about.
