Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2278

Delilah had blown her top off.

Regardless of whatever Joan had done wrong in the past, that didn't mean she deserved to get assaulted by some random stranger!

"Why did you hit me?" Joan immediately demanded.

Is that really a question? It's because you're a b*tch.

"Joan Watts, you're a married woman, so why are you using Mr. Silverman's affections for you and treat him like your servant? Go back to your husband! Oh, right, Larry Norton has found himself a younger, prettier woman, hasn't he? You came crawling to Mr. Silverman because you're thirsty for attention, aren't you?" screamed the girl.

"Shut up!" Dustin shouted back at her.

At that, the girl desperately looked towards her boss, her eyes filled with tears.

"Your manager and I are just friends and colleagues. There's nothing going on between us," Joan tried to explain.

That's bullsh*t! Everyone in the supermarket knew that Dustin had a crush on her a long time ago. Why else would he still wait for her to come back when she hasn't shown up at work for such a long period of time. He should have just fired her straightaway!

"Stop pretending! Everyone knows very well that you're a b*tch who just hates being alone, and can't live without the help of a man!" The venomous words left the girl's mouth without a second thought. Trembling, Joan took a few steps backward. Is that really the workers' opinions of her? I must be a fool to have treated them like her family!

"Don't listen to her," Delilah reassured her. "She's just saying that because she's jealous of you."

"I don't want to see you in the supermarket from tomorrow onwards," declared Dustin. "We don't need an employee like you."

"Come on, Mr. Silverman! I'm doing this for your sake!" the girl acted cutely, stubbornly trying to explain to Dustin. "Look at her! How could she be so shameless? If she really wanted to be with you, she should have divorced Larry a long time ago!"

Dustin wasn't sure how to respond to that, causing Joan to feel rather awkward.

"Take your employee away, Dustin," Delilah demanded loudly. "This is my house, and we do not welcome her here!"

He glanced between Joan and Delilah before he dragged the girl out of the house eventually.

After sending her away, Dustin went back into the house and tried to comfort Joan. "Don't take her words to heart. She just said that in a fit of rage."

Joan raised her head to fix him with a stern stare.

That employee had been right. Dustin had done so much for her, but she'd constantly taken his efforts for granted because she was selfish.

"I don't think you should come to visit me anymore, Dustin. Also, I want to quit my job," Joan told him firmly. She didn't want to add to his burden any longer, and she also needed to maintain her distance from him.

Dustin was caught off guard as he didn't expect this.

"Have you thought about what you want to do from now on, Joan?" Delilah suddenly asked.

Dustin watched Joan's reaction closely, anticipating some sort of change of heart.

"I'll cross the bridge when I get to it," Joan smiled weakly. "For now, I need to rest for a few days. I'll recover and go back to normal soon, so don't worry."

Delilah felt really bad for her.

"If that's what makes you happy. Now that Joan has made her decision, let's not bother her any further, Dustin." As she said that, Delilah tugged on the man's arm and led him out of the living room. "Ms. Young, wait!" he protested loudly as they arrived at the entrance. "What she needs now is someone to comfort her! I can't just leave!"

"Watch yourself, Dustin," the old woman quietly reminded him. "Joan isn't divorced yet. If you really want the best for her, you should wait until she and Larry officially end their marriage before you pursue her."
