Never Late, Never Away Chapter 197

“Ouch!” Vivian yelled instinctively.

“Are you alright, miss?” The man responsible for the cause of Vivian’s headache asked nervously.

His mind couldn’t quite comprehend what had happened. Brushing off the possibility that the woman might have thrown herself at him purposely to gather his attention, he helped her steady herself gentlemanly nevertheless.

The man studied Vivian carefully. The way her eyes sparkled warmly in contrast to her elegant dress desired him to look closer. The only thing that seemed off about the beautiful lady was the way her eyes darted around skittishly.

“I’m fine… I’m fine. So sorry for knocking into you.” As Vivian leveled her gaze with the man, she fell into a daze.

How charming.

The man in front of her had all the perfect features that anyone could dream of. His nose was straight and finely shaped, and his lips were thin but rather elegant. The way his bright eyes adorned with long eyelashes shone was extremely captivating.

Vivian couldn’t help but feel a little self-conscious in front of the man with ethereal looks.

The man watched with curiosity as she gaped at him with the weirdest expression he had ever seen. It was a combination of awe and amusement.

What a funny expression. I wonder what is on her mind?

“Miss, are you sure you’re alright?” The man asked carefully.

Finally aware that she had been looking at him like an idiot, Vivian grinned sheepishly and answered, “I’m fine. It was nothing.”

The man looked relieved. “Are you here for the auction as well?”

“Yes!” Vivian beamed. “I reckon that you’re here for that too?”

“Yes.” Sensing that Vivian was about to fall into a trance again, he quickly reminded her, “You seemed to be in a hurry a minute ago. Is there a problem?”

Vivian gave herself a mental slap. Damn it! How can I be distracted by a handsome guy and forget about my amulet?
