A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3220

He couldn't help staring a little more and thought that Megan was way more beautiful than Mia.

“Yeah, I want to go home. Please drop me off there.”

Megan only spoke in response to Jonas. She didn't actually know what she was saying. All she could tell was that the effects of the alcohol were getting to her and that her thoughts and body were reacting to it.

“Must we head back right away?”

Jonas remained sober, but he still couldn't communicate with Megan. That got him to frown, and he was especially hesitant when he saw her stumbling like that.

At first, he planned on waiting until she sobered up, so they could hang out. However, he would not force her to stay out if she insisted on going home.

“Alright then, I won't push. Let's head back,” added Jonas.

He helped Megan up and walked over to the elevator. He was going to take her to his car, then bring her home.

Unfortunately, when the elevator reached the first floor, Jonas tapped his pocket and realized that he didn't have his car keys with him.

He recalled how he must've left it in the room when he changed his clothes earlier.

He tapped his own head in exasperation and felt like nothing was going his way that day. After that, he settled Megan down on the sofa of the atrium and tilted his head down to whisper patiently into her ear.

“Wait here, Megan. I'll go grab my keys and will be back right away.”

“Oh, okay,” replied Megan breathlessly. Her head was spinning, and she was so tired that she was massaging her eyes.

Jonas left her alone after hearing her words. He then rushed to the elevator. At that moment, all he could think about was how he could get her home sooner if he got to his keys quicker.

The two adults weren't aware of something rather important, though. Someone had already infiltrated the first floor and had been waiting for the opportunity to strike. The culprit was eager to emerge from the shadows and approached Megan as soon as Jonas left in his hurry.

“It's like I said, Megan Rockford. Jonas can't protect you all the time, and you are at my mercy now.

Megan didn't realize that danger was lurking around her when she rested on the sofa in the atrium. All she knew was that she heard some strange noises from the side, so she shifted her hand and suddenly opened her eyes.

That move frightened her right away and turned her pale.
