A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3282

Herman was smart enough to tell that Megan was feeling moody from the tone of her voice. He wanted to comfort her but there was also something that he wanted to verify.

“Yup, I called to tell you that I've boarded the plane. I thought you might worry, so I called to let you know,” Megan replied placidly albeit with a hint of indignation in her voice as she said “I thought”. She played with her hair distractedly while chatting with Jake on her bed.

Jake picked up the whiny tone in the woman's voice which piqued his interest. Cocking his brows, he chuckled softly and the gloom on his face disappeared as he replied, “Yup, I was indeed worried about you. Right after my meeting, I found out that you had taken Herman to the casino. You even gave him your own money and he lost it all?”

Megan was momentarily stunned to hear that.

With a frown, she straightened her back and asked curiously, “How did you know that when you're not even here?”

Jake raised his brows and snorted softly. Holding a document in one hand, he replied, “I am wherever you are. I can't let you escape from me. Anyway, don't try to change the topic.”

Jake had already told Megan previously that he had placed a few of his informants around her. However, he seldom mentioned to her the reports he received from his informants.

That included her private meetings and conversations with Jonas. As such, she kept forgetting that she was actually constantly under Jake's surveillance and felt uneasy when she was reminded of it.

“You're still keeping me under surveillance?”

Megan asked with a hint of annoyance.

After a moment of silence, Jake replied calmly, “I'm not keeping you under surveillance, I'm protecting you. The moneylender you took a loan from earlier on is from the most established underworld organization in Lostaria. Be careful not to get into trouble.

Megan froze for a second when she heard that. She was prepared for Jake to lecture her about going to a casino with a man or lending capital to a man to gamble.

As such, she was surprised by what he actually said. Is he worried about me?
