A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 1655

It was the first time in his life to enter a bar. He used to tell Joan that he looked down upon those who came to such places. When Joan asked him why, he said, “It's because they are lazy and selfish. They don't work hard but choose to numb themselves with alcohol in such places. So, they're merely losers left out by society... they're the pest to society.”

Gazing at several bottles of vodkas in front of him, Larry laughed at himself again. How could I look down on them? Well, I became an idiot who has fallen for the tricks, just like all of them. I became someone whom I loathed the most.

If the blue vodkas resembled the vast sea, he was the traveler drowning in the deep sea who couldn't clutch at any straws.

Larry somehow saw the reflection of a beautiful lady's face in his wine glass. After staring at the face in silence for quite some time, he gulped down the wine and murmured, “Joan, you made me into what I am now.”

Meanwhile, Caspian came to the company to visit Larry as he felt guilty. Nancy told him that the misunderstanding between men remained unsolved often because they either felt embarrassed or dared not speak first. Besides, since Caspian trusted their friendship and brotherhood that had lasted for years, he mustered up his courage to be here.

“I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Norton has left for quite some time.”

“Do you know where he went?”

The assistant put on an apologetic smile and said, “I'm sorry. Mr. Norton didn't disclose it. If you really have important matters, you may wait

for him in the president's office for a while.”

Caspian waved his hands and said, “It's okay. I can come again next time as it's not an urgent matter.”

The assistant still smiled at him politely. “Sure. I'm sorry, but would you excuse me? I've to get back to work.”

Larry nodded in response while thinking to himself. Larry is a workaholic who keeps immersing himself in piles of documents. Since when has he learned to get some rest? The night had fallen when he wanted to leave Larry's office. Suddenly, he saw that something in the office was not turned off, thus giving out a faint glow.
