A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 585

Evelyn shot a dissatisfied gaze at Hunter and turned to Vivian. "Vivian, what were you guys talking about? Let me know if Hunter tries to take advantage of you. I will teach him a lesson he won't forget."

She reached out and tried to hold Vivian's wrist, but the latter averted Evelyn's gesture, so subtly that it appeared unintentional.

Vivian had not spoken since Evelyn's arrival, not even to greet her. She was occupied by the incident with Mark and was in no mood for false social niceties with Evelyn.

"There wasn't much going on, we're just having tea together," Vivian replied grudgingly. "I suddenly recall that I have some urgent matter to tend to. Enjoy your day, you guys.”

Vivian addressed both of them but directed her farewell towards Hunter. She grabbed her purse and promptly left.

Evelyn clenched her teeth as she watched Vivian's departing silhouette. Who does she think she is to ignore me like that?ls this her way of throwing her tantrum?She must think of herself as some hotshot, doesn't she?An urgent matter?It's awfully convenient to have an urgent matter just as I arrived. Does Vivian think I'm a fool for coming up with such a pathetic excuse?

Evelyn did not bother to conceal her anger anymore. "How did it go?" she snapped at Hunter. "Any progress with her yet? It's been a long time!"

It was a rare opportunity that Hunter had: to be in Vivian's company for such a long time. Evelyn's interruption and rude interrogation angered Hunter to such a degree that he was tempted to overturn the table in her face.

But at the thought of his promise to Vivian, Hunter struggled to and succeeded in keeping his temper in check. Now that Vivian was busy in preparation to make a move against Mark, and he himself was lying to Evelyn, he had to be very careful to not let Evelyn's interference sabotage Vivian's chance of success.

"I'm getting along fine with her. These things take time," Hunter reported vaguely.

"How good is 'fine'? What stage are you at with her? Does that b*tch like you or not?" Evelyn fired questions unceasingly, as though she was venting her frustration with every forceful question.
