Charlotte was disconcerted when she saw Finnick's face darkened. Did I say something wrong?
Just then, the cable car in motion suddenly jerked. At that moment, a thought came into her mind, and she lurched toward Finnick.
Like a doe caught in the headlights, the young lady who "accidentally" fell into Finnick's arms apologized, "I'm so sorry, Mr. Norton." Yet, instead of pulling herself away, she rubbed her breasts against Finnick's chest.
There was a hint of smugness in her eyes. She was confident with her look and her body. There was no way Finnick would reject a beautiful woman who threw herself at him.
To her surprise, Finnick ordered harshly, "Get off me!" The man held a frosty expression, the fury in his eyes barely veiled.
Charlotte was disappointed that the man rejected her advances. What's wrong with him? Is he an ascetic or something?
She reluctantly pulled herself away from him and then sat beside him. "Mr. Norton, I'm sorry about that. Did I hurt you?"
Finnick cast his gaze outside the window, ignoring Charlotte's question. He was unwilling to have any interaction with the woman who tried to seduce him.
At the same time, he felt fury rose within him. Vivian, do you really want me to be with another woman?
On the other hand, Charlotte was unsettled when the man ignored her. Yet, her eyes were once again filled with confidence when she recalled how her admirers swooned over her. Perhaps he didn't get my signal, or he wouldn't be so calm.
