Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2180

"Here comes the grapes! Took me a while to replace them, but I did. Have a taste?" Having said that, Caspian gave her some of the grapes he had just rinsed clean. The grapes looked so tantalizing, she was unable to resist.

Jessica popped one into her mouth and chewed thoughtfully before swallowing. "It's big and sweet. A fine product." She smiled contentedly at the taste.

"Fresh, right? Have some more!" said Caspian sweetly.

Ah, why is this a**hole being so nice to me all of a sudden? Does he have some kind of agenda? Jessica suddenly gave Caspian the once-over as if she was trying to discern something important. "Say, what are you trying to pull here?" asked Jessica suspiciously.

Is she actually asking me this? Caspian was a little confused when he heard the question.

He just wanted to be nice to her, was that so wrong?

"Don't overthink this, Jessica. He rarely does something like this. He spent the whole afternoon looking for grapes, which is quite out of character," said Larry cautiously.

Caspian fidgeted with his collar, seemingly bashful.

Was is truly that simple? Jessica pouted.

Ever since that incident with Jessica, Caspian seemed to be more concerned about her. Larry was truly happy for Caspian upon seeing the interaction between them. "Ms. Zimmer, have you ever considered Caspian?" asked Larry suddenly.

What the hell is this? What was there to consider? What can someone as uncouth as Caspian do for me, exactly?

"No," replied Jessica curtly.

She was not sure what Larry even meant by "consideration," nor had she the desire to replace out.

"Are you feeling better?" queried Larry, mildly. "We can go back soon."

And why would I want to do that? Since it was so difficult for her to leave in the first place, she was hell-bent on having a good time.

"Say, Larry. Let's stay for two more days, and then we can go." Jessica gently nudged Larry's arm.

However, Larry had no real reason to stay. After all, he had quite a bit of work to do for the company.

Although Dustin was the Norton Corporation's second-largest shareholder, that man spent almost every day dallying and barely spared a second thought towards company affairs. Even if he did take an interest in the Norton Corporation, Larry would still fret over it.

"How about this? I'll leave Caspian here with you. Some urgent matters require my attention, unfortunately. How does that sound?" Larry noticed that Jessica's expression suddenly became tense. "But I don't want to be with Caspian. I'd rather hang out with you." As she said this, Jessica tightened her grip on Larry's arm.

"Hey, watch it." Larry huffed angrily and then pushed her arm off.

No need to get so iffy! I was just kidding. Sheesh. Jessica was definitely not pleased.

"Two days is all you have. Otherwise, you're staying here on your own," said Larry nonchalantly as he walked out of the ward.

He needed to stay the hell away from this woman. Larry would rather have gone back alone, leaving Caspian and Jessica here. However, he was worried that Jessica would cause a scene.

After all, she was still the daughter of a manufacturing company magnate. If anything happened to her, there would be hell to pay. Even though they no longer had a standing agreement, he did not want the Norton Corporation's reputation to be sullied.

"What is it, Larry?" Out in the corridor, Caspian had been waiting for him. He seemed nervous, however.

"What do you think of Jessica?" Larry thought that there was no reason to sugarcoat the topic.

Caspian flushed and shuffled his feet shyly.

How was he going to explain this?

Caspian was quite reserved. If he really liked someone, he tended to keep things to himself and cared for the person silently. Caspian was definitely not the type to shower compliments and sweet nothings on his lover either. However, it was through his actions that his simple, down-to-earth character was exhibited.

"I think she's alright," murmured Caspian. He lowered his head and seemed even more embarrassed than before.
