A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 318

At the thought of that, everybody began to look at Vivian with jealousy and disdain.

Yet, due to her being Mrs. Norton, everyone felt compelled to congratulate her. "Wow, that's wonderful. We're counting on you, Vivian."

"Congrats, Vivian!" exclaimed Sarah as she beamed from the bottom of her heart.

To her, Vivian was a much better choice as compared to those colleagues who were absolute hypocrites.

"Thanks," Vivian murmured in response. However, all she could think about was the abrupt announcement.

What is Fabian scheming? Why would he give me this opportunity?

"What's the reason you did that?"

Vivian followed Fabian into his office. With a frown, she questioned, "Fabian, are you pulling my leg?"

She didn't mean to think ill of him, but her recent assignments had proven that Fabian always had an ulterior motive when it came to her tasks.

"What?" Fabian was perplexed by her sudden interrogation, only realizing what she meant when he saw her defensive expression.

He found the situation comical.

Has it come to a point where everything I do or say is going to warrant suspicion? Am I no longer worthy other trust? I suppose I only have myself to blame for the regression in our relationship. I hurt her far too deep...

However, an explanation was still necessary.

"You've misunderstood me," Fabian chuckled bitterly as he explained, "Elaine was the one who specifically asked for you."

Afraid his words were not going to be enough to prove it, he fished out his phone and showed Vivian the text messages between Elaine and himself.

Vivian reached out to take his phone and started to scroll down the conversation. When she realized she misjudged him, she awkwardly uttered, "I'm truly sorry for the mistake."
