A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 52

"It's alright..." She quickly avoided his gaze. "My mom isn't feeling very well... She needs time alone to rest..."

Vivian kept her words vague and did not mention her mother's illness. Nor did she bring up the outstanding hospital bills.

Finnick's eyes darkened.

As an experienced businessman, he had definitely met girls who were fake or promiscuous. Those who came from prominent families always acted coquettishly and only knew how to rely on men on every trivial issue. They were always asking for his money or for his help.

However, Vivian was different from the rest of them.

Even though they were newlyweds, she never once asked for anything from him. To be specific, she intentionally avoided doing so.

Her distant and cold demeanor somehow irked Finnick.

"Really?" The coldness in his voice revealed his unhappiness. "Well, I hope she gets well soon then."

Vivian furrowed her brows slightly.

Did I say anything wrong?Why does Finnick look upset?

However, she did not continue the conversation and finished breakfast. Finnick then drove her to the Subway station, and she took the train to work.

After arriving at the building, she headed to the Department of Finance instead of her office in an

attempt to get a month's advance on her salary.

However, she already got an advance previously. If they approved her request once more, it would be an advance for the month after.

"Vivian, it's not that we don't want to help you. We understand your difficulties, but we are not authorized to approve your request." Zoe from the Department of Finance looked at Vivian in a helpless manner.

Vivian's eyes darkened slightly. She was about to speak, but suddenly, a cold voice echoed from behind.

"Vivian, don't you know it's office hours? Why are you here at the Department of Finance? You should be preparing for this afternoon's interview!"
