A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1509

Carl remained quiet as he tried to weigh the pros and cons of doing it.

Even though Larry has a considerable influence in Marsingfill, if I were to pursue Joan as an admirer, he can't really do anything to me, right?

Carl rationalized it within himself and decided to give it a go.

You can't really get what you want without sacrifices. Besides, it's not really possible to win Gabriella's heart without taking any risks. In that case, I'd better agree to it promptly to leave a more favorable impression on Gabriella.

“Alright, I'll do it for you! Don't worry, Gabriella. I'll get it done perfectly, and I won't disappoint you,” Carl assured her in a confident manner.

“Well, it looks like I wasn't wrong about you, Carl. I'm starting to take a liking to you,” In order to motivate Carl to work for her, Gabriella started showering him with compliments.

“Of course, Gabriella. You'll discover more of my strengths in the future,” Carl replied rather smugly as he looked at her.

Just you wait. I'll be able to do whatever I want with you once I get hold of you.If you get it done, Larry would never ever let you off the hook, and I'll be able to free myself from your harassment. This is simply killing two birds with one stone.

In that instant, the two of them, both with a secret agenda on their minds, laughed aloud in unison.

“Gabriella, come on. The gathering is going to start soon. Let's go over there.”

Carl took the opportunity to reach out and hold Gabriella's hand. Let's see what other excuse you can come up with to reject me. If you're not even willing to compromise to such a simple act, that would mean you have not even a single trace of sincerity

Carl was complacent as he thought about that.

As Gabriella was about to fume when she felt her hand being grasped, she was reminded of her agreement with Carl. Turning against him now isn't sensible.

Suppressing the overwhelming disgust within her, she let Carl hold her hand and lead her fo rwa rd.

When the gathering started, Carl sat next to Gabriella, making an impression that he was very close to her. That made all the other men present extremely envious of him.

Throughout that period, Carl tried to take advantage of Gabriella by pretending to touch her unintentionally, but every time he did that, Gabriella was able to dodge him in time.
