“Ms. Morrison, since I have learned a lot from you today, can I buy you lunch?”
After finishing the story, Shane was grinning from ear to ear as he stared at Vivian. At that moment, with sunlight reflecting off her face, she was a gorgeous sight to behold.
However, he did hear that she was married and even had a son.
Nevertheless, it didn’t stop him from having a crush on her.
“Sure, let’s go.” Vivian nodded as it was already noon.
Initially, she planned to have lunch with Finnick. But since it was Shane’s first day at work, she accepted his invitation.
Vivian chose a lower-end restaurant as she was cognizant that Shane was broke. After all, he had just graduated and wasn’t from a rich family.
However, if Vivian was to foot the bill, it would embarrass him instead.
After much consideration, she decided to order something affordable during lunch with Shane.
“Ms. Morrison, are we going back to the office after this?” Shane was looking forward to running stories with Vivian. This way, he would be able to spend more time alone with her.
“Yes.” Checking the time, it was indeed time to go back to work.
Back in the office, Vivian instructed Shane to write the report.
After he agreed, Vivian buried her head into writing her own.
Every time they finished a story, Vivian would have to write a report to her superiors. Similarly, she would get the newcomer to write a report for her.
By doing so, she would be able to gauge how much progress the newcomer had made running a story and what he had learned along the way.
After going through Shane’s report in the afternoon and ensuring it was alright, Vivian bid Paris and Shane goodbye before heading home.
By the time she reached home, Finnick had already returned. Sitting on the sofa, he was glaring angrily at Vivian, to the extent she felt anxious while changing her shoes.
Did I do anything wrong? Why is he looking at me like that?
“Erm… what is it?” Vivian walked up to him and gave him a curious look.
Instead of answering, he stood up and walked closer to her.
Vivian looked at Finnick with a fearful expression. Not knowing what was going through his mind, she became anxious.
Just as he approached Vivian step by step, she began retreating at the same pace. Unfortunately, the sofa behind her didn’t allow her to back up any further.
Just when she thought Finnick wouldn’t approach any further, he pinned her under him on the sofa.
“What’s wrong?” Despite looking dashing not saying a word, Finnick’s expression still made Vivian feel jittery.
“So, Shane Teslar, huh?” Finnick finally spoke. At the mention of the name, Vivian knew what he was thinking about.
Ohh… he’s jealous.
He should have said so earlier if that’s the case. Then I wouldn’t have to be so worried about it.
Now that she was held down by Finnick, she felt guilt surging within her.
“He’s just someone I’m mentoring.”
She felt that it was all just about work and there was nothing much to it.
“Besides, I’m helping you groom talent, so why are you chewing my head off over it?”
Vivian was spot on as she was doing all this for Finnick’s sake and there was nothing wrong with it.
“What if I sack him then, hmm?”
Vivian knew that whenever Finnick was angry, he would end his sentence with a “hmm.”
It would indicate his anger but he only used it in front of Vivian. The reason being no one else had the luxury to talk back to him whenever he was angry.
“Don’t, he’s someone with a lot of potentials.” To her, Shane seemed to be even more capable than Paris.
If Finnick sacked him, it would be his own loss. Vivian tried her best to convince Finnick that there was nothing going on between her and Shane.
“I heard both of you had lunch together?”
