A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 51

Vivian felt her face getting hot instantly.

"You? Showering?" Vivian dared not even look at him and quickly pushed the bathroom door close.

Finnick lowered his head and glanced at her flushed face. All he could think of was how cute she looked as he allowed her to close the door.

Vivian returned to the bed and still felt as though her cheeks were extremely hot. She picked up her phone and browsed through Twitter to calm herself down.

After a short moment, Finnick stepped out of the bathroom. Vivian still did not have the courage to make eye contact with him and continued scrolling her phone.

"Let's head to bed," Finnick said in a low voice. He switched off the lights after seeing Vivian nod.

That night, her embarrassing, sleepless thoughts engulfed her mind. She could not sleep at all.

Whenever she shut her eyes, she would imagine Finnick's buff figure and the slight smile on his face. She prayed silently for her heart to stop beating so fast.

Unbeknownst to her, Finnick's sleep was also disturbed by her tossing and turning. It was a sleepless night for him too.

He heard the woman muttering to herself in the dark, and for a moment, he wanted to have her there and then. Nonetheless, he resisted the temptation after giving it thought.

She's a delicacy. I have to control myself, and ravish her slowly after.

The next morning, Vivian was awoken by her phone’s ringtone.

Finnick was missing from the bed when she woke up. She picked up the phone from the bedside table and immediately took the call as it was from the hospital.

"Ms. William, we are calling regarding the outstanding ten thousand hospital bill. May I know when you would be able to pay the outstanding sum?"

Vivian instantly felt a headache as she heard this.

She almost forgot about this outstanding amount. Fabian previously declined to advance my salary. Where am I going to get the money?

After repeated assurances that she would pay up within the next three days, Vivian hung up and went downstairs, looking very depressed.

Meanwhile, Finnick was having breakfast in the dining room. Noah stood beside him as he reported the findings of his investigation.

"According to our investigation, the old man is not lying. Someone did try to pull some strings for him, but he didn't manage to connect with the other party. It seems like a third-party stepped in."

"Who is it?"
