Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2255

It's just an affair. Don't sweat it. Nothing is more important than having my own source of income. Joan assured herself inwardly while bustling about.

"Don't worry, I'm fine," she said to Dustin.

The man raised an eyebrow disbelievingly. Yeah, she seems really calm, but I bet she's having an emotional breakdown on the inside. Staring at the woman in front of him, he felt his heart ache for her.

I know Joan too well. If she has a choice, she'll never show her emotions on her face.

"Joan, I'm here for you if you ever need anything. You can always rely on me." Dustin gently patted her shoulder.

In an instant, a warm and fuzzy feeling shot through Joan.

In retrospect, I'm really grateful for Dustin's companionship over the years. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have understood many things in life.

"Okay, sure," she nonchalantly replied as she kept her head down,

A few colleagues gazed at her with worry written all over their faces.

All this while, they thought she and Larry respected and loved each other deeply. Never had they expected Larry to have an affair.

"Men are just unreliable, so women have to learn to make money themselves. Otherwise, who is going to fend for us if we get a divorce?" one of them babbled on.

"Stop talking. She's already feeling sad," another employee whispered.

Throughout the day, Joan wasn't in the right frame of mind. Yet, no one blamed her. Dustin even got someone else to redo whatever she had done.

There were many employees in the supermarket, mostly married women. Hence, most of them could put themselves in Joan's shoes. They were normally very friendly to her, treating her as their biological sister.

Nevertheless, a handful of the younger and good-looking ones were jealous of her close friendship with Dustin.

"Joan, what on earth are you doing? If you don't feel like working, go home and sleep! Don't stick around and waste everybody's time!" Finally, a young woman couldn't resist bawling at her. Huh? What did I do to make her so angry? Perplexed, Joan swiftly turned her head around and glanced at her curiously. "What's wrong?"

"Look at what you've done! How many products have you placed wrongly? The manager asked me not to tell you, but to rearrange the products behind you quietly. I'm busy too! I have a lot on my plate, yet I have to come over and help you. Can you be more careful? It's just an affair! Don't make a big fuss out of it! There's no good husband in our society anymore!" she ridiculed in a serious tone.

She was right. The people in the current society were too impetuous and fickle-minded. A long-lasting and unchanging love was only a lie.

"I'm sorry. Go ahead and do what you need to. I'll settle this myself," Joan said with embarrassment. She quickly retreated her steps and reorganized the items.

This woman is annoying. What's the big deal that her husband has a mistress? She can do the same too. If she really can't stand it, get a divorce! No matter who leaves or betrays you, life still goes on. With her lips pouted, the young woman stomped away from the area which Joan was in charge of.

"Can't you be more compassionate?"

"Why should I? I was just pointing out the truth!"

"Okay, okay, okay... Whatever you say is right."

Another colleague tried to reason with the young woman.

In the meantime, Joan was still doing her job, but more carefully now.

I got it. No matter what, I have to live well on my own. She's right. No one truly can't live without another person.

Soon, it was time to get off from work. All the employees in the supermarket were getting ready to go home, stealing glances at Joan from time to time.
