A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 3318

The alarms inside Martin's head went into overdrive when it dawned upon him what a dreadful mistake it was for him to sign on this contract.

Megan picked up on that and smirked. She then glared at Jake. “So what? It's not like you care about it. First, you tested me, and now you put me under supervision? Why do you insist that there must be something going on between me and Jonas?”

Her aggressive words stabbed at Jake's heart like a knife.

He was perplexed as to why he felt so terrible. What he had taken for granted as an expression of anger before now seemed more like a feeling of care. What he felt was a sense of emptiness and self-pity after being wantonly crushed.

Jake pursed his lips. This was neither the time nor place where he wanted to discuss these things. He averted her gaze and relinquished his grip on her.

“There's nothing to explain. To think you're this upset even though we're just traveling together for work spoke to how much you must have hated me.”

Jake's cold gaze swept over Megan before he brushed past her shoulder. Then, he made a beeline for the door and slammed it on the way out.

The entire lounge abruptly fell into silence. Martin could only look haplessly to the silent Jonas and the sullen Megan.

This is really a disasterlA proper dating show now reduced to a contest of sour faces!

“Yeah... you should talk for a while. I'll come back in when it's time to board.”

Martin did not know how to go about counseling them. The heaviness that hung in the air inside the lounge ultimately proved too suffocating for his liking, so he got Donna to walk out alongside him, emptying the room for the two who remained.

Megan was restless amidst the stagnated atmosphere. She twice glanced over at Jonas in the distance whose eyes were veiled beneath the shadow of his loose fringes.

“Is there anything you would like to ask me?”

Jonas turned sharply to regard Megan. His eyes were quietly wistful, but vacuous otherwise.
