Vivian whipped out her ID and provided a long explanation before she successfully convinced the receptionist to let her in.
She had been here many times, so she knew where Finnick's office was.
On the way to the office, she bumped into the lady who brought her up the last time she was here. Hence, they both headed up together.
Vivian was surprised when the lady entered Finnick's office beside her.
"Who are you?" she inquired. The woman seemed really ordinary but could enter the president's office as she please, so Vivian felt slightly vexed at that.
"I'm Mr. Norton's assistant," the woman replied with a smile. Vivian glanced at her for the last time and fell silent.
Previously, Finnick only hires male assistants. Why did he hire a female assistant now? Vivian was upset, but she didn't say anything.
She waited for a long time, but Finnick didn't show up. After putting the desserts on his desk, she left his office.
"Mrs. Norton, are you leaving?”
The assistant knew who Vivian was, so she greeted Vivian politely.
"Mm. I'm busy."
Vivian gave her a nod and strode out.
The reason Vivian showed little interest in this assistant was that the latter had a curvy body and
pleasant attitude.
I left some snacks on your desk. Enjoy!
Vivian sent Finnick a text, but he didn't reply after a long wait.
Instead of waiting patiently for his reply, Vivian headed back to work.
When it was time to get off work, she realized Finnick still hadn't replied to her text. She immediately switched off her phone.
He should be busy, she comforted herself.
Yet, she couldn't shake off that niggling feeling in her heart.
When she reached home, Finnick hadn't returned yet. Vivian had dinner with Larry and went to bed alone.
