A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2805

Ted gazed blankly at Jake's retreating figure in confusion. I'm supposed to ask Joan out? What nonsense is this? Why would she agree to go out with me? Or should I do it using Mr. Wilson's name?

Clasping his fists, Ted grew in confidence.

"Ms. Watts!"

Seeing how Ted dashed toward her, Joan was startled for a second before her features gradually returned to normal.

Why is he here? Oh no, does he intend to find fault with me? A tinge of fear flashed across her eyes.

It was not easy for her to lead a stable life. All she wanted was to wait until the issue settled down in the city, before returning home.

However, she did not expect Jake to have found her so fast.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" she asked without beating around the bush.

Embarrassed, Ted sniffled.

"Um... Ms. Watts, Mr. Wilson would like to ask you out," he enunciated each word carefully.

The whole world was aware that Jake loathed Joan very much, to the extent that he harbored hatred toward her. Hence, it would be a natural thing for Joan to decline to meet up with Jake.

"Sorry, I'm quite busy and don't have time for a chat," Joan rejected bluntly.

This woman clearly doesn't know what's good for her! No, I can't let Jessica find her. Ted's gaze

grew intense.

"Ms. Watts, our president really has something to discuss with you. It's about Ms. Young and the child," Ted covered his mouth and whispered.

Joan was stupefied.

What is he trying to do? Threatening me with an elderly and a kid? That's utterly

despicable! Putting down the tool in her hand, she stared daggers at the man before him.
