A Touch of Sweetness novel (Finnick and Vivian) novel Chapter 847

"Let's try to keep this between us."

Vivian hoped that Noah would be able to see to this on her behalf.

"Understood." Noah nodded. He did not think too much of it as it was all for Finnick's benefit.

Vivian's lips lifted in delight when he agreed and promptly let him and Larry be on their way.

In the interim, Vivian went round to the study several times to check in on Finnick. He was hard at work trying to address the company's deficit.

She quietly exited when she saw no change in his expression.

It was awful for Vivian, being helpless to do anything. Even her brother, the only one who might

be able to aid her, had his hands tied.

The woman could only sit herself in bed and wait for when it was time to prepare lunch for her husband.

While this was happening, Evelyn carried on waiting at the coffee shop, day after day, without meeting the person she was longing to see.

She made a call to Hunter, hoping that he would be able to look into the person's identity.

Unfortunately, she had nothing to go on apart from the woman's looks.

On top of it, a man in Hunter's position could not possibly be expected to help, as the nature of their cooperation was impersonal.

Hunter had neither the time nor the enthusiasm to expend on an endeavor that did not serve his

ends.

As upset as Evelyn was over this, there was nothing she could do to him at the present time.

She still needed his financial support, and would only be at the losing end were she to fall out of his good graces.

With the scheme now into the home stretch, Finnick's company was certain to go into administration.

Evelyn was considered expendable now that Hunter had already gotten what he wanted.

But unlike Evelyn herself, Hunter was arguably a much better team player.

Despite being aware of that, Evelyn dared not let her guard down around him.

Right now, all she could do was wait on her own.
