Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2256

"Hi, Joan. Do you want to go shopping together?" one of her colleagues approached her and asked cautiously.

"No, thank you. I'm tired today. I need to rest," she replied in a soft voice.

"Stop asking her to go shopping with you. What else is more effective than sleeping?" the young woman spoke up.

The atmosphere froze instantly.

Long after, Joan was left alone in the lounge. Lying on a couch, she stared blankly at the ceiling. How am I going to face Larry? Should I interrogate him or pretend like nothing happened? Suddenly, her phone beeped.

The woman swiped to unlock her phone. Caiden had sent her some photos of Larry sending Jessica home.

Joan couldn't help but sigh helplessly the moment she saw the pictures. Her gaze appeared even more lifeless now.

Larry, didn't you say that the woman is only a friend of yours? Didn't you tell me that nothing going on between you two? How are you going to explain the kiss you two shared last night? Clenching her fists, Joan seemed a little forlorn.

"Let's go. I'm taking you out for a delicious meal." Dustin pushed the door open.

"I don't want to go anywhere," she declined, wiping the tears off her face.

Meanwhile, in the office. "Larry, what the hell is wrong with you?" Caspian asked in distress. There was a hint of anger in his tone.

What happened to Caspian today? Why is he talking so harshly? Did Jessica pull some sort of prank on him again?

Amused, Larry chuckled and answered casually, "What's the matter? I'm at work."

Caspian seemed distraught. It seems like he hasn't read the newspaper today. He doesn't even know he has made the headline.

"Take a look at today's newspaper, you bigwig. You'd better think about how you're going to explain things to Joan." Caspian then hung up on him.

What should I explain to her? Haven't I done that two days ago? I've already come clean with her.

"My goodness. What's wrong with Larry? How did this scandal come about?"

"Yeah. Is Jessica really his mistress?"

"Why did Mr. Norton do that? Joan is so nice. How could he have an affair?"

As Larry sauntered toward the pantry, he heard a few employees who were working overtime whispering to each other.

What the hell are they talking about? Since when do I have a mistress? I love Joan more than anything else in this world! These people have nothing better to do, spouting nonsense mindlessly. I'm surprised they actually have the nerve to gossip about me.

"What are you talking about?" To their horror, Larry suddenly showed up in front of them.

Instantly, looks of embarrassment crossed the employee's faces.

"Hmm... Nothing, Mr. Norton. We're only chatting while taking a short break," one of them replied hurriedly.

The rest of them took a few steps back with fear glinting in their eyes.

No... I'm certain they know something I don't.

"Tell me everything you said just now. I want nothing but the truth. Otherwise, you won't be allowed to stay in this company," Larry demanded coldly.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you, Mr. Norton. But please don't fire me."

Then, the employee relayed everything that was in the newspaper to him.

What? Jessica and I made the headline? Did they just say I abandoned my wife? Who made such nonsense up? When the employee finished speaking, Larry was smoldering with fury. "Give me the newspaper now!"

Flipping through the newspaper, the man read the news over and over again. Someone had seen the scene of Jessica kissing him when she was drunk and made a drama out of it.

I knew trouble would come my way, but I didn't expect it to be so severe. Not only will Joan replace out about it! Everyone in the city will know of it as well.

Sh*t! My reputation is definitely in tatters in the eyes of some government officials.

"This is only a misunderstanding. Alright, get back to work." Holding the newspaper, Larry went into his office.
