A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1514

“I'm Cory Jefferson.”

Carl did not tell her his true name. After all, he was not actually planning to collaborate with Joan. Moreover, it would do him no good to reveal his identity since he was scheming against her.

“Hello, Mr. Jefferson. Let's get straight to business then,” Joan said solemnly.

“Ms. Joan, there's no need for us to rush, right? What's the point of life if we don't enjoy it? So why don't we try to know each other first?” Carl suggested.

A topic too solemn was not going to help him with his plan, so Carl was trying to liven up the atmosphere.
