Standing by the cable car, Finnick asked, "Vivian, can I join you guys?"
Vivian noticed Charlotte shot her a look, signaling her to agree with Finnick's request. She forced a smile and said, "Sure."
Instantly, a grin flitted across Finnick's face. Meanwhile, Charlotte's heart fluttered upon seeing the man's bright smile. Oh, he looks warm and cute with his smile. If only he can smile at me like that...
As for Vivian, she felt uncomfortable to have Finnick sitting opposite her, let alone to need to talk to him. Fortunately, it didn't seem like he was going to talk to her either. Also, she would appreciate it if that man could stop smiling at her; it gave her goosebumps.
Just then, Charlotte broke the silence, "Hi, Mr.
Norton. I'm Charlotte, Vivian's friend and also her subordinate.” With a bright smile, she reached out her hand for a handshake.
"Hi." Finnick gave her a limp handshake. Then, he shifted his gaze back to Vivian, smiling at her as if the two of them were the only ones in the cable car.
Finally, it was time for the cable car to leave. Vivian hopped out of the cable car in the nick of time as the door was closing.
She waved at them while saying, "I suddenly remembered I forgot about something. I'll take the next ride.”
"Vivian!" Finnick wanted to get out of the cable car, yet the door had closed. Now he and Charlotte were the only ones left.
She only recalled it when the door was about to close? She must have done it on purpose! Finnick slammed the cable car window in anger.
