Never Late, Never Away Chapter 873
Sleeping for the whole night in such an uncomfortable posture, Finnick woke up feeling aches and cramps all over his body the next morning.
Since Vivian was still asleep, Finnick carefully lifted up his head, trying hard not to wake her up.
He could not believe that his head had been leaning on Vivian’s arm the entire night.
Thus, he wanted to massage her arm, in hopes that she would feel less pain after she woke up.
But the instant his hand touched Vivian’s arm, she opened her eyes.
“Morning…” Vivian looked at him, clearly still in a daze.
For quite a while, she was confused as to where she was. And then she recalled that they did not leave the office the previous night.
All of a sudden, her head was throbbing in pain. She wanted to massage her temples, only to realize that she could barely move her arm.
Her arm, which Finnick rested on for so many hours, had become completely numb. Not only that, she even felt great pain whenever she tried to move it.
Seeing that Vivian was groaning in pain, Finnick’s heart was filled with guilt.
If I wasn’t so tired last night, we wouldn’t have to stay the night at the office. And I wouldn’t have slept on her arm. Ugh… This was all my fault.
“It’s fine,” Vivian said while trying to move her arm. To her relief, her arm resumed to normal after a short while.
“Come on. Let’s wash up and have breakfast. You have a deal to discuss today.” Vivian started to cheer Finnick up, hoping that they would have a fresh start.
Recalling what happened the day before, she sincerely hoped that Finnick would not be discouraged by this setback in his life.
“Okay. Let’s go.” Finnick knew what she was trying to do. Holding her hand gently, they headed towards the washroom.
There was no one in the office yet as it was still early.
At that very hour, the large office seemed deserted and rather lonely.
Vivian was grateful that she was still able to feel Finnick’s warmth beside her. She told herself that she would not be afraid of any future storms coming their way, as long as they were together.
There were all kinds of single-use toiletries in the office’s washroom, specially prepared for those who worked overtime.
