His shirt hung off her tiny frame like a gigantic curtain, exposing her collarbones and slender legs every so often.

Finnick looked away, his face heating up rapidly.

He had always prided himself with his self-control, yet he had no choice but to take a few sips of ice-cold water to calm himself down.

Vivian sat down at the table, not having noticed anything strange about him.

“I’m going back this afternoon,” Finnick said halfway through their meal. “Are you coming along?”

Vivian recalled the drama from the previous night and nodded solemnly. “I’ll follow you.”

She could not care less about her relationship with Fabian, even if it would cost her job in the future.

“Alright.”

“Oh, before I forget,” Vivian said. “Why are you in Q City?”

Finnick’s hands froze for a moment, but he regained his composure just as quickly. “I had a last-minute meeting.”

Noah shivered and turned around to meet Finnick’s cold glare.

He lowered his head immediately.

Vivian did not notice a thing. When Finnick got into the car, she hurried over to follow him.

Finnick glanced at the documents in his hand before closing the folder abruptly and looking up at Vivian. “Vivian, let’s go and meet my family this weekend.”

Vivian?

Vivian froze for a few moments, completely caught off guard by how he addressed her. She took a while to digest the situation before answering, “Sure.”
