Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2159

Because I like you! What other reason could there be? The woman looked at him suspiciously while trying hard to guess his intention.

"If you are lonely, go hit the streets and you'll replace many handsome guys you can pick up. Some are even more good-looking than me. You don't have to waste your time on me. Deep down, I believe that you're aware of your own feelings. You don't love me. Instead, you love the challenge of conquering me because you enjoy it as a cheap thrill," Larry uttered.

His analysis was accurate. From the very beginning, Jessica was attracted to his looks. She wanted to prove to everyone that she had the ability to make a married man like Larry fall for her.

Unfortunately, Jessica misinterpreted her own feelings. She assumed that she loved that man, but in truth, it was just a mind game.

"What are you talking about? Larry, I really really like you. How could you say that about me and mock my feelings for you?" she roared.

This is such a joke! She's treating herself as an object. Yet, she still claims that she likes me earnestly.

She was too blind to realize her own heart, but Larry saw through her intentions. "Frankly speaking, Ms. Zimmer, it's not a must for Norton Corporation to collaborate with the Zimmer family. I just thought that it's a pity to terminate this business relationship after years of working together."

"Since your father had made an unswerving decision to discontinue our partnership, we won't push it any further. However, the party who will be suffering hefty losses is definitely the Zimmers, not Norton Corporation." Staring at the woman sternly, Larry was resolute in his speech.

Jessica had analyzed the situation before and that was one of the objectives why she approached Larry. She could not understand her father's decision to end the collaboration with Norton Corporation. Therefore, she had been monitoring each of their moves since her return.

"Do you mean that you've found a more suitable manufacturing company?" she asked curiously.

Yes, Caspian sent me a text saying that he's located the foreign manufacturer. I just need to negotiate the terms with him personally.

I've given the Zimmer family sufficient time and plenty of opportunities. If they're still unwilling to collaborate, we'll cut off ties with them and end up going our separate ways.

"You don't need to know about that. Jessica, you ought to remember that I've not done anything bad toward the Zimmers. My conscience is clear. I've given all that I could and I've never cut corners. That's it fo us." With a helpless look settling upon his face, Larry shrugged his shoulders.

He knew that it was not Jessica's fault, but her father who terminated the collaboration without any valid reason. As a result, the Zimmers had to bear a bad reputation and huge losses.

"Mr. Norton, I'm not too sure about my father's plans. Could you let me understand the entire situation from him first before making your final decision?" Jessica asked desperately. Panic-stricken, she never expected Larry to have found a manufacturer within such a short timeframe.

"No need. Your father should be the one discussing with me, not you," Larry replied softly.

Although Jessica was the only heir to the Zimmer family, she had not taken over the operations of the company. Therefore, she was in no position to make any business decisions. "Everything's ready, Larry," Caspian said under his breath. Great, it's time to set off.

"Let's go." Larry picked up his briefcase while on the way out of his office.

"Um... Larry..." Caspian faltered.

"I think it's best we inform Joan so that she won't be worried," Caspian mumbled.

Upon hearing that suggestion, gloom veiled Larry's face.

Do I need to inform her? Does she care about how I feel when she didn't return home for the night? He was infuriated when he recalled the night when Joan stayed out all night.
