Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2120

"How are things looking now?" Larry asked as he hurriedly made his way into his office.

"Things aren't looking good... It's as if they've all conspired against us. We're now only left with a handful of small companies," Caspian said gloomily.

Never in his life had Larry ever expected the manufacturers to end their many years of working relationship with Norton Corporation. To make matters worse, it all happened so suddenly that he didn't even see it coming.

A company's survival relied heavily on the support of its manufacturers. With Norton Corporation facing such a big crisis, it was no wonder the employees were all panic-stricken and miserable. Even though everyone seemed to be hard at work, many of them had already begun to look for other job options.

"Have you found out why they have all stopped working with us?"

Caspian lowered his head in silence, embarrassed that he hadn't even been able to replace anything about the matter after investigating it.

"Whatever it is, spit it out now. Don't stand there wasting time," Larry chided while flipping through the many documents on his desk.

"Larry, the manufacturing leaders have all disappeared all of a sudden. We've been looking for them since the day they stopped working with us, but... " Caspian replied apologetically. Larry looked up immediately, his expression grim and solemn.

He wondered what games the manufacturing company was trying to play. Was it not enough for them to end their working relationship that they even had to go missing? The more he thought about it, the more he suspected there was more to it than met the eye. These manufacturers wouldn't have the guts to quit working with Norton Corporation. There was definitely a mastermind behind this matter. Someone was pulling the strings in the dark.

"What about the biggest manufacturer? You can't replace anyone to speak to?"

"They've all left, unfortunately. I heard that their boss's daughter will be coming back from abroad soon, though," Caspian continued.

Larry knew an opportunity when he saw one. And this was one he definitely had to grab.

"Okay, I got it. I want you to track his daughter's every move. Once you have any new information, let me know immediately." With that, Larry gestured for Caspian to leave the room.

The immense amount of stress had finally taken its toll on Larry as he felt a splitting headache coming on. He had just settled matters overseas, but now there were even more problems to tackle. He was so exhausted from it all that he no longer cared about the conversation he had previously had with Caiden.

Caiden was, at that time, seated on his sofa and scrolling through his tablet. Every so often, his lips would curl into a smile.

"Oh my, what is this? Why are you smiling to yourself there?" Jaden asked. "And why didn't you come home last night? Were you with Joan? But wait... Isn't she already married?"

Caiden ignored his friend as he continued to play on his tablet.

Even though he had previously gone overboard with his words, they had been friends for so long, and Caiden's parents had even entrusted their son to Jaden. There was no way Jaden would leave him that easily.

He threw a pillow at Caiden to get his attention. "Hey! I asked you a question. What are you thinking about?"

"I helped her with a small favor, and she got me to stay for dinner. Unfortunately, my car stalled when I was about to leave," Caiden explained nonchalantly.

Tsk! That was all? Jaden shot him a dirty look.

He had expected juicier and more exciting news, yet it turned out to be as boring as watching paint dry.

"Have you eaten anything? If not, what would you like?"

Before Caiden could answer, Noelle's voice rang out from out of the blue and interrupted their conversation. "Caiden! Open the door!"

Because of his company's crisis, Larry had been cooped up in his office recently. There was so much he had to handle that he couldn't even replace time to head home. Even though Joan and Delilah had called him several times, he rejected their calls again and again.

Larry had a lot of pride in himself and didn't want to burden anyone else with his problems. More importantly, he didn't want his family to see him in such a pathetic state.

Caspian knew Larry was tired and frustrated and could also imagine how worried his family must be for him. "You should head home, Larry. Joan was so worried about you not being home for a week that she called me yesterday."

"It's okay. Let me finish up things here first," Larry replied without even looking up at him.
