A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1513

To Joan's surprise, she ran into Carl at the exact same spot as the previous day.

“You're off work, Joan.”

Carl looked at her with a grin.

“Yep. Just knocked off.”

She felt that something was amiss but couldn't quite place her finger on it.

“How do you know my name?” she asked in astonishment.

“Your boss mentioned your name during our discussion.”

Carl pretended to be chummy with their boss.

I see.

With that, Joan didn't dwell on the matter. After all, since she was a member of the staff, it wasn't surprising that he knew her name.

“What are you doing here? The office is closed.”

Since they've met a couple of times, he wasn't really considered a stranger.

“I'm waiting for someone, and she's here now,” Carl joked.

Studying her surroundings, Joan took a while to realize that there was no one else there. “You were waiting for me?”

“Yes, I was.” He was grinning from ear to ear.

“Why?”

Hearing his words, she became even more perplexed. Her impression of the man was quite good, and he didn't seem like a fickle person, so it didn't cross her mind that he was trying to court her.

“Well, your boss and I confirmed a deal earlier today. The actual details and the final contract are to be discussed further. Your boss asked me to look for you to talk things through, so I waited till you got off work. I was thinking of treating you to a meal so that we can talk about the contract.”

At that moment, she sensed that something was amiss, but she couldn't tell what it was.

“But why didn't my boss tell me?” Joan questioned.
