Never Late, Never Away (Vivian and Finnick) novel Chapter 232

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 232

Vivian dared not take a seat on her designated seat in the first row. She took a step back and moved away as she felt uneasy.

However, Jenny beckoned and stated, “Vivian, your seat is in the first row!”

“No way! I’m not going to sit in the first row!”

Nevertheless, she had to return to her designated seat since there wasn’t any seat available for Vivian after her colleagues took their seats.

Feeling slightly dejected, she sat down on her seat in the first row.

Finally, the press conference was about to begin. Deafening music and dazzling illumination were initiated in conjunction with Finnick’s entrance.

Noah brought Finnick, who was wheelchair-bound, into the hall and up onto the stage.

The guests who were present stared at Finnick in awe. The man emanated an ethereal presence, similar to those of superior leaders, intimidating those who were present.

Eventually, Finnick started introducing the details of the fund, including its structural characteristic, contingency plan to counter the associated risks, and its pros and cons. However, Vivian wasn’t paying attention at all because she was in a state of reverie.

She wasn’t the only one who had been charmed by Finnick’s ethereal appearance. A lot of guests had lost themselves in the process of thoughts, paying no heed to the details of the fund.

After some time, Vivian finally snapped out of her trance and returned to her usual self, focusing intently on Finnick’s speech.

Halfway through the session, Vivian heard other guests discussing her beloved husband.

“He’s so handsome! The fact that he’s bound to a wheelchair doesn’t impact his look at all! Mr. Norton is such an exceptional man! Too bad he’s already married to someone else!”

“Such a pity indeed! He has been single for so many years! I can’t believe he’s gotten married to someone else out of the blue! Do you know what sort of woman managed to win him over?”

“I have no idea, but I think it might have been a political marriage. Perhaps he isn’t in love with his wife at all. Maybe that’s the reason Mrs. Norton refused to show up in front of others?”

“He’s such an exceptional man! I mean, he’s a great-looking and talented man with abundant wealth! I’m willing to spend a night in bed with him even if he’s a vegetative patient, let alone wheelchair-bound!”

“Are you serious? Have you no shame at all?”

Vivian was rendered speechless by the guests’ absurd remarks because they had gone overboard with their imagination involving Finnick.

She looked toward Finnick, who was delivering his speech on the stage, and thought that he seemed to be in a league of his own, beyond others’ reach. On the other hand, Vivian seemed to be just another ordinary woman, whom Finnick could easily get his hands on. All of a sudden, she felt a strong sense of inferiority as Finnick’s unprecedented talent could easily put others, including her, to shame.
