Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2242

In the office, Larry sat on the couch as he read through his documents. He had a dark expression glued to his face.

Outside the office, everyone was hectic with their tasks. It seemed like they were anxious, but at the same time, they seemed like they were enjoying it.

The employees of Norton Corporation were as terrifying as Larry. To them, working overtime was the norm.

"Rest for a while," Joan whispered to him suddenly.

Hm? Why is she here? When did she arrive? Larry raised his head to look at her, surprised.

"Why are you here?" Larry queried.

"I'm here to deliver food to you and to take a look at you. I'm scared you'd miss me too much," Joan murmured. My, when did she start acting in this way? A teasing smile grew on Larry's lips. "Guess what I'm thinking now?" Then, with a tug, he pulled her into his arms.

Embarrassment surged into Joan's brain when she glanced outside the room.

"This is a public space. Hurry up and eat your food instead," she hastily said as a blush crept upon her face.

She's actually shy? We're a married couple. Why is she still getting so embarrassed? However, that was a sight that Larry liked seeing.

"Come, let's eat together." With that said, he then placed her on the couch.

"Look at them. They're so loving with each other."

"Hear, hear. Mr. Norton even hugged her earlier."

"Seriously! Who said Mr. and Mrs. Norton had a bad relationship? They deserve a beating for saying that."

In a corner of the office, several coworkers were in quiet discussion about Larry and Joan. All of them had similar looks of jealousy on their faces.

Out of the blue, Larry said, "Open your mouth. I'm going to feed you."

What is he trying to do? Is he trying to cause a scene again? Joan looked at him suspiciously.

"Larry, what are you trying to do? Why are you so lovey-dovey all of a sudden? It's really unlike you," Joan carefully voiced.

"Hush. Just eat it," Larry responded.

So I'm not even allowed to talk now? How bossy.

"Mr. Norton, it's time for lunch," came Jessica's voice when she suddenly entered the room. The moment she saw the two being endearing toward each other on the couch, she froze in shock.

Why is Joan here? Why are they so intimate with each other? Have they rekindled their relationship? That can't be, can it? It hasn't been long since then. How can they have resolved the misunderstanding so easily?

"Ms. Zimmer's here? Let's eat together, then," Joan enunciated in a deliberately loud tone. She knew the woman was there to bring lunch for Larry. Fortunately, she was quicker than her.

"My wife has brought lunch for me today. Come, let's eat together," Larry added.

He was taking the chance to show Jessica that his relationship with Joan had always been strong. In other words, it would not be easy for Jessica to sow discord between them.

"Here, have mine. I have fish and meat, so it's more nutritious," Jessica uttered.

She makes it sound as though my lunch for Larry has no nutritional value. Joan threw her a displeased look.

"I'm sorry, but my wife's cooking is really good. Moreover, she's made sure that all my meals are well-balanced in terms of nutrition. I'm used to eating her food," Larry responded in a seemingly nonchalant

tone.

His words struck Jessica like a bolt from the blue, and her mind blanked out.

What are they doing? Are they trying to flaunt their love? It was as if someone had dunked her in cold water. She had been nice to express her concern for the man, but all he did was make her disappointed. "What's going on in there? Why is that woman here again?"

"I don't know, but it looks quite awkward. If I were her, I'd have left immediately. Doesn't she feel awkward standing there?"

"I'd say her plan to become the third wheel failed."

Once again, the coworkers were gossiping.

"I'll take my leave now then. I thought you had no lunch. Since someone has already brought you food, I'll leave." With that said, Jessica left the room without sparing either of them another glance.
