A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2541

“What did you say? You saw Joan having a meal with Dustin? In a private room?” Larry yelled from his seat in the office. He was currently facing Caspian, the bringer of the disturbing news.

“Yes, I saw them with my own eyes. Larry, do you want to check it out for yourself? I fear that Dustin would make a move on Joan,” Caspian suggested out of concern.

“That's not necessary!” Larry stopped him.

Caspian could not help but wonder how his superior could remain so calm.

The last time Larry found out about Joan and Dustin, he practically lost his marbles. This time, he seemed indifferent about the whole ordeal!

“Larry, you really aren't going?” Caspian inquired again.

“No!” Larry bellowed.

There was no doubt that he was angry, but he managed to keep his emotions contained. Caspian paused for a moment. Then he excused himself and slowly backed out of the office.

Dustin, that scoundrel! What will it take for him to stop pursuing Joan? Larry stood in front of the window overlooking a lighthouse in the distance. A stern expression hung on his face.

But why would Joan want to stay in contact with him? Larry could not quite figure that out. She clearly knew that Dustin had tampered with Norton Corporation. She clearly knew what Larry thought about Dustin and his unusual hostility towards the man!

On the other side of town, Joan picked up her bag and got to her feet. “I'm leaving!” she announced.

“Where are you going next? I can take you there,” Dustin stood up and offered.

“That won't be necessary!” She exclaimed harshly and strode away.

The woman's cruel rejection sent a chill down Dustin's spine as he watched her go away while he stayed rooted to the spot. He could not explain why, but the more Joan played hard to get, the more Dustin yearned to conquer her.

Joan... One day, you'll choose to be with me! He swore he would make it happen.

Delilah was going about her business when Joan returned. “Oh, you're home!” she greeted her.

“Yes, I am,” Joan answered feebly.
