A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1464

Larry feigned calmness.

“Sure. Here you go.” Joan swiftly handed him the proposal.

“What's with this crappy proposal? This won't do! Draw up a new one!” Larry naturally didn't forget his intention in coming to her office.

“But why? I think it's pretty good.” Bafflement inundated Joan.

“Is the decision in your hands or mine? Of course, you can opt not to change it...”

“I'll do it, I'll change it,” Joan interrupted him, knowing that the matter was in her control.

“You still owe me an explanation. Why did you leave me back then?” Larry's voice carried a weight that overwhelmed her.

However, Joan remained silent.

“Why? Why did you leave? Do you know how much your actions hurt me?” Larry's voice was no longer calm. “Do you have any idea how I suffered back then?”
