A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1510

Joan kindly reminded him.

Most people had already left for the day, save for the security guard stationed at his post. There was virtually no one to discuss business with him.

“Is that so? I didn't know that.”

Evidently, he did not expect everyone to have knocked off. Chuckling, he replied, “I'll just have to visit again tomorrow. Thanks for your reminder.”

“No problem,” Joan politely responded.

The man was elegant and well-mannered, so even though Joan was not interested in him, he managed to leave a good impression on her.

After she finished her sentence, she walked out to hail a cab.

Without hesitation, the man followed after her.

“Miss, you must be a really hard worker, given that you've just ended your day,” the man casually flirted with her.

“It's nothing. I'm used to it.”

Joan had no intentions of interacting with him any longer, and her response was merely out of courtesy.

“It's getting late. How about I send you home? See it as my compensation to you for taking up your time,” the man offered to drive her home.

“There's no need for that. I live nearby, and my boyfriend's waiting for me to have dinner.”

She could tell that he had ulterior motives for inviting her to take his car, so she decided it was better to use Larry's name and directly reject his advances.

“Alright then. Be careful on your way back. I'll be on my way.

The man flashed a grin and bade her farewell without any resistance.

Joan was pleased that he did not pester her any further and returned his smile. “You too."

With that, Joan flagged a cab and gently nodded at him before boarding the car.

His gaze lingered on her cab for a brief moment before he sneered. “Hmm, I guess she's pretty smart. But hey, I'm not gonna let you off so easily. You're bound to fall into my trap!”

The sophistication he exuded previously had vanished into thin air. Instead, his expression transformed into a lecherous one. The man was none other than Carl.

As someone who was no stranger to elite education, it was no feat for Carl to feign a gentleman.

However, Joan didn't manage to get a good look at him, which was why she failed to notice his act.
