A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 2809

An awkward silence ensured.

Finally, Della got up and left Larry's office in her stilettos.

What a pity! She could have been an exceptionally outstanding woman, yet she chose to be a wicked person. Caspian felt puzzled as he watched her leave.

Right when Caspian wanted to speak, Larry gestured him to leave the room too.

Putting himself in Larry's shoes, he kept quiet and left the office as well.

Back at the beach, Joan kept herself busy. The only difference was that she became more dispirited.

"What's wrong, Joan?" asked the concerned old woman.

Joan looked at her and shook her head. A hint of fear laced her eyes.

"What's bothering you? Share it with us. We'll go all out to help you if we could," the old man encouraged her.

Joan was deeply moved by their earnest words, but she was determined not to get them involved in her personal matters. She would not want to burden them with her problems; more importantly, she did not want them to get hurt.

Knowing Jake's temper, he'll never let anyone who obstructs his plan go easily.

"Nothing, I'm just a bit tired," she muttered.

Is that so? Why does she look so sad? The old

woman doubted.

Jake would call Joan almost every night to ask about her day. Although Joan was quite irritated by his persistence, she did not dare to show obvious resistance.

Many days had passed, she was still in a dilemma. Lifting her head to gaze at the sky, she felt like she was drowning in a sea of sorry. Should I tell Larry about this?But Jake has warned me not to do it, or else he might harm Ms. Young and Lucius. No, I can't allow that to happen.
