A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2631

“The weather's been cold and dry lately, so I got you a limited-edition hand cream.” Larry passed Delilah a bottle of hand cream on a nearby table.

“Ah, Larry, this is such an expensive gift,” Delilah muttered as she looked at the hand cream.

Joan eyed Delilah and Larry in displeasure.

Larry reached out and caught Joan's hand in a reassuring grip as if to comfort her.

“Are you sure this is for me?” Delilah lifted her head and asked.

“Of course.” He shrugged.

Delilah left the living room with the hand cream.

Joan was stewing in jealousy as she ate her breakfast in silence.

“There, this one's for you.” Larry produced a small gift box from his pocket and passed it to Joan.

Joan knew this was a precious gift judging by its intricate packaging.

“Larry, why are you suddenly getting presents for Ms. Young and me?” she asked gently as she gazed at him.

“I just felt like it.” He smiled.

I guess that's how a rich man thinks.

After breakfast, Larry left for the Norton Corporation. Joan went to the photography studio while Delilah was still admiring her present in glee.

The other staff members had arrived at the photography studio earlier in the day. No one was late despite last night's drinking session.

“Joan?” Abigail greeted her.

Abigail's chirpy mood instantly put Joan on guard. She merely nodded at her in reply.

“So Joan, what's up with you and Mr. Owens last night?” Joan's cold attitude did nothing to deter Abigail.

Oh god. What sordid scenario is she imagining?

“Get back to work,” Joan ordered.

“Joan, there's nothing to be shy about. We re all adults; you don't have to be so serious all the time,” she goaded.
