A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1078

With Xavier's smooth and concise response to every question, the interview soon came to an end.

Hannah let out a sigh of relief when the interview finally ended. Tidying the documents in her hand, she stood up to announce, "That's all. I've got no more questions for you. This interview will be published shortly after I get back to the office and tidy up the loose ends."

Xavier hummed in agreement whilst nodding.

Deep down, he had to hand it to Hannah for meticulously asking questions that were simple yet straight to the point. At the same time, her style of interviewing was impartial and reasonably paced. The way she handled the interview had added points to his impression of her greatly.

"Mr. Jackson, I'll be taking my leave now that the interview is over." Hannah packed up hurriedly. She was terrified of not being to defend herself should Xavier harass her with his sly innuendos again, especially since she couldn't reply or react too outrageously. After all, the senior editor had threatened to end her career if she didn't complete this task properly.

"Okay. As chance would have it, I'm getting off work too. Shall we leave together?" Xavier casually announced after glancing at his watch. Then, he took the lead and exited the office, leaving her with no choice but to follow.

They soon waited inside the descending elevator. Hannah's eyes cautiously darted around while she kept a distance away from Xavier. She deliberately stood in front of the doors, ready to run if anything were to happen. Of course, she knew that this was an impolite thought to have. But what am I to do if Xavier suddenly wants to take advantage of me? I can't just allow him any chance to do that!

Her actions didn't go unnoticed by Xavier, whose smile curved deeper at this. This woman is getting more fascinating by the second.

Xavier teasingly raised his hand and patted Hannah's shoulder. "Ms. Young, I believe that you're also a fellow tea lover. It just so happens that my friend had gifted me some rose tea which is rich with elements good for skin complexion. Honestly, this tea doesn't suit my taste, so I'd like to gift them to you. I'll have my secretary pass it to you in a bit.”

Hannah's heart hammered in her chest when Xavier's hand first landed on her shoulder, but after hearing what he had to say, she exhaled loudly as she patted her chest and rolled her eyes with relief.

Dude! You scared the daylights out of me. While Xavier's actions had scared her senseless, they also lightened the mood and simultaneously improved her impression of him. He's not so bad. How does he earn himself such a reputation then?
