A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2626

“Tried. Didn't work,” Larry said.

These two women were equally mule-headed. Once they had their minds made up about anything, not even the strength of ten bulls would be able to rein them in, let alone any mortal being!

“What are you whining about, Caspian?” Jessica asked aloud as she entered.

Is she awake? Della turned her head to regard the woman who was steadily making her way in.

Yeah. Her eyes might be open, but the alcohol is definitely still in her system.

“Ah!”

Her knees suddenly gave way and she landed on all fours. Jessica ruffled her hair and exhausted all her might in an effort to get back up.

“Whoops. How embarrassing.” She dusted herself off and headed straight for the couch.

“I think I'm going to lie down for a bit.” And she did so and closed her eyes.

This was something that Larry and Caspian had become quite accustomed to, but Della's eyes were peeled wide open as she regarded the woman on the couch.

“She's fine. Just a little tired, that's all,” Caspian explained to Della.

Well, that's an eye-opener. Della shook her head at that.

Considerable time had passed before the person on the couch finally came to.

“Hmm...” Jessica had fingers pressed up against her temple and looked in some measure of discomfort.

“Are you up?” Larry asked from behind the desk.

“Where is this?” she asked while her eyes remained closed.

“My office,” he replied.

Lucky for her that it was not some bar or nightclub, or she would be in trouble.

“How long have I been out?” Jessica asked.

“Eons,” he replied.
