Never Late, Never Away Chapter 374

"Alright, I understand.” Vivian uttered in a low voice, then remained silent.

Seeing that Vivian was clearly upset, Finnick did not know what to say to comfort her. Hence, hepulled her into his arms and gently patted her back.

Vivian also knew that Finnick felt helpless, but she didn’t understand why Evelyn kept appearing intheir lives.

It was a sleepless night for Vivian that night as she tossed and turned in bed. Vivian turned to lookat Finnick who was already asleep. She wanted to touch his face but was afraid of waking him up, soshe retracted her hand and just looked at him quietly.

Since Finnick was right beside her, she could reach out and touch him. However, would Finnickalways be by her side like he was now?

As Vivian reflected on how dull she looked when she and Evelyn stood side by side in the shoptoday, she couldn't help but feel heavily threatened. Will I be able to keep Finnick by my side since Ican't even compare to Evelyn?

The next day, Finnick got up early for work and it was time for Vivian to go back to work at themagazine company as well.

Finnick had requested a week's leave from the magazine company on her behalf due to her footinjury. Now that her foot was almost healed, it was time for her to go back to work.

However, after thinking about how Finnick and Evelyn would meet, talk, and discuss work togethertoday, Vivian's was still very uneasy. Since she was feeling so disoriented, she couldn't bring herselfto go to work. Thus, she called Fabian and told him that she would like to take another day off.Fabian guessed that Vivian was in a foul mood because she had probably read the news aboutEvelyn's unexpected return, which was trending on the internet a few days earlier. In addition,Finnick had also called to inform him regarding Vivian's injury previously. Hence, he agreed to itwithout any hesitation.

“Take a good rest first, you don't need to come to work in such a hurry. You shouldn't take the newson the internet to heart either, it's all in the past. Moreover, I think that you are much better thanEvelyn, and I believe Finnick feels the same way, so don't worry,” Fabian comforted Vivian.

“Alright, I understand, thank you Fabian.” His words and affirmation had truly comforted Vivian fromwithin.

“I'll go back to work tomorrow. That's all for now. Um, alright, goodbye then.” A few more wordswere exchanged between her and Fabian, who told her to take good care of herself. After assuringhim she was fine, she hung up.

While sitting on the sofa, she turned on the TV and kept changing the channels with the remotecontrol as she couldn't pay attention to any of it. Vivian turned around and walked into Finnick'sstudy after turning off the TV, thinking that she might be able to replace some books to read sincethere wasn't anything she could watch on the TV.

The only way she would be able to stop overthinking was if she did something.

Having found some magazines in Finnick’s study, Vivian sat at his work desk and flipped throughthem. However, after a while, she couldn’t continue staring at the magazines because the wordsstarted jumbling up and it was impossible for her to understand what the words were saying.

After she put away the magazine, Vivian closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths. I need totrust Finnick. If he says that he will not have any feelings for Evelyn, then he would definitely not do0...

Then she opened her eyes and continued flipping through the magazine in her hand. Soon after,the door to the study suddenly opened and Vivian saw Mrs. Filder walking in.

"What's the matter, Mrs. Filder?” Finnick had always cleaned the study himself because he was afraidMrs. Filder would accidentally mess up his documents when she cleaned. What is Mrs. Filder doingin here at this time?

The housemaid replied with a smile, “Mrs. Norton, so you are in the study, I was just thinking why Ididn't see you in the living room just now. Mr. Norton phoned earlier and said that he forgot tobring along a file which was sitting on the desk, so he asked me to send it to him.”

After hearing that, Vivian searched on the desk and found a red folder sitting next to the computer,“Is this it?” Vivian picked up the folder and handed it to Mrs. Filder.

“I think so, Mr. Norton said that it's a red folder that is placed right next to the computer. Thisshould be it.” After Mrs. Filder received the folder from Vivian, she wasn't quite sure if it was theright one, but thought it couldn't be wrong.
