    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 149


    Amused by Vivian’s silliness, Finnick burst out inughter.


    It was only then that Vivian came to her senses and immediately buttoned up her lips, ready to get up.


    However, the moment she got to her feet, Finnick grabbed her hand and pulled her into his embrace.


    Vivian slumped onto hisp, and before she could exim aloud, Finnick gripped her chin and pressed


    his lips against hers, muffling her gasps.


    In contrast to their previous soft kiss, this was an imperious and possessive one.


    He quickly parted her lips, raiding and marking his territory while his grip tightened as if he was binding


    her to him.


    It seemed as though time had stopped. When he reluctantly let go of Vivian and looked at the woman


    who was flushing like a red apple in his arms, his heart melted. He whispered in her ear, “Vivian, thank


    you for believing in me.”


    And thank you for appearing in my bleak and despairing life.


    …


    Vivian took half a month’s leave to recuperate at home, and eventually, even she felt guilty herself and


    pestered to return to work in mour Magazine.


    After all, she had taken too much leave, so she was afraid of beingid off.


    With Vivian returning to the magazinepany after such a long while, everyone at work was very


    concerned about her health. Apparently, most of them had realized the past rumors about her were


    mainly misunderstandings. Therefore, they became excessively ardent toward her.


    But of course, there was one exception—Shannon.


    As soon as Shannon saw Vivian, she started with a twinge of jealousy, “Oh dear, Vivian the princess


    hase back to work? I thought your backer is so powerful that you could just make money lying in


    bed all day.”


    There was only resentment in Shannon’s eyes when she looked at Vivian.


    When she met Ashley at the mall the other day, she thought she could sabotage Vivian with help from


    Ashley. But it was unknown to her why Ashley left in a hurry after she tattled about Vivian and took no


    action afterward.


    These princesses are truly hopeless.

    Nevertheless, she had no means to deal with Vivian herself, so she was only all bark and no bite.


    On the other hand, Vivian could not care less about Shannon, and neither did others.


    Sarah took Vivian by her arm and told her excitedly, “Vivian, you know what? Legal action has been


    taken against the sweatshop we exposed earlier, and the workers have all gotten their wages back.”


    “Really?” Vivian was delighted upon hearing the news.


    These days, the workers had be disadvantaged, and it happened very rarely that wages could be


    redeemed unless the issue boiled over.


    “Yes! In addition to that, everyone isplimenting us, saying that we should take the credit for


    revealing the sweatshop, and so we got awarded!” Sarah was getting thrilled and took out her phone to


    show Vivian her search results. “Something like a social contribution award. Even though it’s not


    something grand, it’s increasing the poprity of mour Magazine! Even theizens on Twitter are


    saying that we’re the most conscientious media tform.”


    Vivian was astounded.


    Indeed, the magazinepany had very little to do with the workers getting their wages back. Despite


    that, increasing poprity would contribute to advertisement sponsorships as well as the sales of their


    magazine.


    “That’s really good,” replied Vivian with a smile.


    “Right? Our Chief Editor said he’d foot the bill for a drink tonight! You muste this time. We won’t


    take no for an answer.” Sarah was grinning from ear to ear.


    Surprised, Vivian asked, “He’s back to work?”


    “Oh yes, it so happened that the Chief Editor also took leave the same time you did.” Sarah seemed to


    have thought of something and continued, “But he came back to work a week earlier than you.”


    A perplexed look crept on Vivian’s face.


    Fabian was more severely injured than me. Howe he’se back to work so soon?


    Before she could ponder on it, Sarah tugged at her arm and said, “Vivian, you muste tonight.”


    Vivian knew very well that she seemed rather like a sore thumb in thepany for always skipping


    their group activities. Since it would be attended by arge group of people, there was nothing to worry


    about, so she agreed to go.
