A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1635

“You too, get out!"

Caspian kicked aside the reports on the ground. As the secretary had left hastily just now, there were footprints all over them. When he saw Larry bury himself in work, Caspian's guilt intensified as he struggled with his own emotions.

“Boss, why are you making things difficult for yourself?” Feeling guilty, Caspian lowered his voice.

“After going through so much in recent years, why are you letting something trivial bother you to the extent you're hardly recognizable?”

Larry cleared his throat. “Trivial?” He sounded as if he was deeply hurt. “If you have been lied to twice by the one you love, Caspian, do you think you can still stand here and calmly tell me this is just a trivial matter?”

When Caspian remained silent, Larry continued asking, “Have you known about this for a while now?”

He continuously fiddled with the cover of his fountain pen. “Previously, whenever I asked you to investigate something, you would always inform me of the result right away. But this time, you didn't.”

“After cycling through all the possibilities, Caspian, and the fact that we are comrades that have faced death together, I realized there is only one reason that can put you in such a dilemma. And that reason is Joan.”

Caspian gulped as if something had grabbed him by the throat. Evidently, Larry was someone who easily saw through him. There was no need for him to even explain himself.

By then, Larry had calmed down as he placed his fountain pen back on his desk. Stepping over the documents that he swept away earlier, he walked up to Caspian. Staring at the old scar Caspian received during training years ago, he remarked, “I won't make things difficult for you. Just tell me yes or no."

The atmosphere in the office continued to be tense. Caspian's silence caused Larry to feel as if his world had collapsed.

Shifting his gaze away from Caspian's old scar, Larry stepped around him, brushed past his shoulder before walking away.
