Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2134

"Of course not. Mr. Norton and I have a regular employer-employee relationship. Besides, he has a family." The assistant huffed out an awkward laugh.

She couldn't deny that she had indeed harbored inappropriate thoughts toward her boss before, but she had quickly nipped them in the bud. Larry's heart already belonged to another woman. Hence, she was happy as long as he was.

"What? You don't have the guts to confess? What's there to be afraid of? So what if he's married? Divorce is so common in today's society," Jessica continued.

The assistant flushed with embarrassment.

She quickly bowed her head and denied, "No, it's not like that, miss. Mr. Norton and I are really just superior and subordinate. Besides, I have a boyfriend."

This woman spells trouble. If I don't get myself out of this now, it might come back to bite me in the ass. It's best to stay away from rich people like her. The assistant's eyes flashed with a hint of hostility. Without warning, Jessica sashayed right into Larry's office. "Mr. Norton!"

Then, she directly sat on the sofa and asked the obvious. "Sleeping?"

"What are you doing here?" Larry, who had been rudely awakened, rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

"I came here to see you. It's been quite some time since I last saw you, and I kinda missed your presence," she flirted.

She sure has some nerve coming here and saying such things. She must be crazy. Larry slowly got to his feet and walked to his desk.

"Don't you have anything better to do today?"

"Nope. I came back to attend a friend's wedding, so there's nothing much for me to do actually."

"Ms. Zimmer, I think you'd better stop coming here so often," Larry asserted, cutting curtly to the chase.

This woman obviously doesn't intend to tell me where her father is, and that father of hers is dead set on avoiding me. This family is truly a conspiring bunch!

"Why? Are you afraid people might gossip?" Jessica slowly inched toward him.

"A manufacturing company abruptly stopped working with us for no apparent reason, and the boss has gone off the grid. Meanwhile, the boss' daughter keeps coming here every day. Do you think this is appropriate?" Larry lifted his head slightly and enunciated.

What's so inappropriate about this? I like you! It has nothing to do with the collaboration! A coy smile tugged on the corner of Jessica's lips.

"Fine. I'll be frank with you, Larry. Indeed, I deliberately acted that way in front of you the first time we met. But you must know, I'm a very picky person, so... Yes, that's right. I'm interested in you." Her brazen words momentarily stunned the man.

This woman really is a nut job! How could she say something so absurd? Larry shot her a fleeting glance, then looked down and got back to work.

"What? You don't believe me?" Jessica narrowed her eyes at him, slightly curious.

A man like him must have many admirers. He shouldn't be very surprised by my confession... In fact, he's probably used to this!

Truth be told, it wasn't that Larry didn't believe her; he simply didn't want to. He already had more than enough on his plate. The last thing he wanted was to invite unnecessary trouble.

"Ms. Zimmer, I think you've got the wrong person. If you're really that lonely, go to a bar. You won't replace whatever you're looking for here. The door is right there. Kindly see yourself out." Larry's voice was bitingly cold as he made known that she wasn't welcome here.

He's doing this on purpose, isn't he? I've already made it so obvious. Doesn't he feel anything? Jessica's eyes dimmed.

No. One way or another, I'll make this difficult man submit to me. I don't believe he can remain immune to my charms for long. All I have to do is put in a little more effort.

"Whatever. I'll get going now, but I was serious about what I said earlier." With that, she strutted out of Larry's office in her expensive heels.

The moment she left, Larry held his head in both hands as another wave of exhaustion washed over him.
