Never Late, Never Away Chapter 673

Vivian patted her face to calm herself down. Apart from a superior-subordinate relationship, therewould be nothing more between them. She shouldn't have any feelings for him.

She wouldn't want to relive the feeling of hopelessness and despair she experienced five years ago.Finnick, this time, I will not give you the chance to hurt me!

A determined glint flashed across her eyes while a cold expression appeared on her face. Vivian puther phone into her pocket and then splashed her face with cold water.

Looking at her reflection in the mirror, she once again reminded herself that she should neverforgive Finnick.

She steeled herself before leaving the washroom. As soon as she opened the door, she heard thesound of violent coughing.

Vivian cast her eyes over and saw Finnick sitting on the couch. Right in front of him was his laptopon the coffee table.

How could he still work when he is sick? Does he really think he’s a man of steel?

Without any hesitation, Vivian made her way toward the man and slammed his laptop shut. “Don’tyou know you have a fever? I told you you should take care of your body!”

"Vivian, there's an emergency in the office. I need to attend to some urgent matters,” Finnickexplained as he tried in vain to re-open his laptop.

Vivian was pressing hard on his laptop. She couldn't help feeling angry with him. “Nothing is moreimportant than your health. You had a high fever yesterday, and you're only starting to feel betternow. What if your condition worsened? Do you want to be admitted to the hospital?”

Finnick gave in when he saw her worried eyes. “Vivian, are you worried about me?”

Vivian was reluctant to admit it. “I'm just afraid that you would infect me if your conditionworsened.”

Although she had warned herself to stay away from Finnick, still, she couldn't bring herself to seethat man working when sick. Her anger got the better of her, and those caring words emergedbefore she even realized it.

As for Finnick, he smiled at her unconvincing denial. He could tell that Vivian cared about himthough she was reluctant to admit it. If she was worried about being infected, she wouldn't havehelped him dry his hair yesterday.

"Vivian, thank you for caring about me. I will take good care of my body,” Finnick promised, his eyesbore straight into hers.

Ugh! What's the matter with him? I told him I'm not worried about him! Vivian could feel her cheeksburning. She turned around to avoid his eyes and walked toward the bedroom. “I'm going to getchanged.”

"Wait!" Finnick called out. Then, he made his way toward her. “Vivian, your birthday is around thecorner. I wanted to celebrate it with you. Is there anything you want as a birthday gift?”

His words reminded Vivian when she unlocked his phone yesterday. His password was her birthday!At that instant, she felt a little moved.

Vivian, you shouldn't fall for him! Don't go soft just because the man set your birthday as hispassword! Vivian reminded herself internally, and her heart hardened.

With a cold expression on her face, she rejected, “I'm not celebrating my birthday. Also, if I needanything, I can buy it myself. There is no need for you to spend money on this.” With that, shewalked past Finnick into the bedroom.

Finnick was confused as to why Vivian returned to her icy self. She was still very caring toward meyesterday, but why does her attitude suddenly change?

As his eyes followed Vivian entering the bedroom, he suddenly felt distant from her. Back then, hewas the one who knew Vivian best. However, now it was hard for him to see through her, and thethoughts running in her mind were no longer fathomable to him.

A moment earlier, he could feel her care for him; the next moment, all that was left was her angerand resentment for him. In her heart, who am I to her?

Just as Finnick was racking his brain, he received a message from the tour guide, informing him thatthey would be camping at a small island that afternoon and that they were required to gather infront of the hotel at nine.
