A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19

Morning broke and Vivian arose after a good night’s rest. She was up earlier by half an hour. After washing up, she switched on her laptop and started penning
a resignation letter right away.

She did not care if people would take her as a coward who was simply running away from the situation—she just could not work under Fabian anymore.

Just as she was typing away furiously on the keyboard, her phone rang and the hospital’s number appeared on the screen.

“Ms. William? The patient's brain waves fluctuated this morning. She could wake up anytime soon.”

Vivian widened her eyes with a huge smile on a face. “My mother may regain consciousness?”

“Yes, there is a possibility. But we don't want to be overconfident,” the doctor said.

“| understand. I'll wait even if it takes years!” Vivian exclaimed, leaping to her feet.

“We will assist her in every way possible. We are giving her a different treatment now that her situation is looking good. But you will need to brace yourself for
the cost of the treatment.” The doctor's voice deepened.

“Don’t worry, I’ve got her covered under health insurance. I'll pay for any expenses not covered by the insurance.” After assuring the doctor that she would
figure out a way to manage the medical expenses, Vivian hung up.

She sat back down and looked at her half-written resignation letter. Pursing her lips, she deleted everything in one go.

She could not afford to lose her job right now. It was not just because she had to pay for her mother’s medical bill, but it would also take some time before she
could find another job.

Vivian scrambled to get ready and headed for work immediately.

She would face whatever came her way.

Since Finnick had not been home since early in the morning, she finished up breakfast in a hurry and hailed a cab right after.

Her magazine company had recently landed a huge long-term project with another magazine company in Q City. The company took this deal very seriously and
Fabian was even going on a business trip to the city to sort out the details of the contract.

Thinking of this, Vivian could not help but heave a sigh of relief.

She hope Fabian would leave for the trip soon, then she would not have to face him at the company.

But things did not turn out the way she expected. Not long after she arrived at the office, Lesley Jenson, the senior editor, rushed over to her. “Vivian, you need
to get ready now. You're going on a business trip to Q City with the Chief Editor.”

Vivian sprang up from her chair and stared at her in bewilderment. “Ms. Jenson, doesn’t the Chief Editor have his own personal assistant? | shouldn't be the
one going on the trip with him!”

The senior editor looked at her and shrugged her shoulders. “Well, if you have an objection, you should go talk to the Chief Editor himself. He was the one who
asked you to go.”

Vivian rolled her eyes and clenched her fists.

What is he trying to do?

He’s about to get married soon! What does he still want with me?

Vivian strode toward Fabian’s office without losing a moment. She had to talk to him.

Sensing the determination in her voice, Fabian was furious. “I'm the one who gets to decide things here. You can resign anytime you like if you disagree.”
Vivian gritted her teeth, trying to swallow her anger back in.

She would have handed in her resignation letter if sne could. Then she would not have to stand Fabian Norton any longer. But since the hospital called this
morning, she simply could not give up at this point. She still needed the money.

Fabian scoffed as he looked at her at a loss for words. “Since you can’t leave as you like, I'd advise you to start getting ready right now. The flight is at 3
o'clock. Miss the flight and you'll lose your job.”

“Thanks so much, Molly. Sorry for bothering you. | really didn't have time to go home and pack myself,” Vivian said apologetically as she took her suitcase from
Molly.

Molly smiled politely at Vivian. The servants adored their master’s wife tremendously. She was always courteous, understanding, and down-to-earth when
talking to the servants. “Don’t mention it, Ms. William. This is what I'm supposed to do. Have you told Mr. Norton that you'll be away on a business trip?”
Vivian gasped.

It suddenly occurred to her that she had totally forgotten to inform Finnick about her business trip. She was so overwhelmed by anger because of Fabian’s
ridiculous demand she totally forgot to let Finnick know.
