Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2379

"What happened, Boss?" Caspian was worried.

"She is contemplating starting a franchise to expand her business, so she will have to handle many things and may also encounter some issues with jealous competitors..." Larry explained. She is such a career-minded lady! Caspian smiled and hung up.

No wonder she was not keen to get involved in a relationship. I guess she planned to dedicate herself to running the bookstore.

Caspian was very understanding and willing to wait for her.

"I heard you plan to start a franchise?" he asked.

"Yup." Jessica admitted.

Why is her attitude so cold all of a sudden? Caspian frowned, and he was troubled.

"Are you okay? Why do you sound so languid?"

"Nothing. I am studying," she replied.

After Larry lectured her, she brought a pile of books home from the bookstore. She planned to read up on as much information about business in the shortest possible time. "Joan, where have you been?" Caiden yelled from a distance.

"I went out for a while. What's wrong? Are you looking for me?" she asked. He was the bane of her life.

"I miss you." Caiden went up to her with a tender look in his eyes and confessed.

Not again! Joan was embarrassed.

She had made it clear to him that there was just friendship between them, not love. However, he would have none of that and kept on pestering her.

"If you have no other matters, you can leave now," she responded coldly.

Is she chasing me away? How could she be so heartless!

"Joan, you have changed! What happened?" he queried.

What a nuisance! Even if something did happen, it had nothing to do with him. Joan was getting a little impatient.

She turned to walk into the garden and ignored him.

"I'm busy. Please leave." As she was about to close the door, Caiden ran in to block her and grabbed her arms.

"What do you want?"

"Why can't you accept me? Can't you spare a thought for me? You have disappeared for such a long time. I really missed you!" Caiden implored.

"Caiden, take a hold on yourself. We are friends and nothing else. Please don't bother me unnecessarily." She was harsh and cold, and she did that on purpose.

Since she had reconciled with Larry, she knew she had to draw a line with people like him. Joan was very straightforward when it came to love. She would not accept an unfaithful man, and she would never ge involved in any love entanglement.

"But you are divorced, ain't you? So I have the right to go after you." Caiden was adamant.

That is ridiculous! He knows that I do not like him, yet he is so persistent. What is wrong with him? Did I not make myself clear enough?

"Caiden, listen to me. Larry and I may have divorced, but we still have feelings for each other," Joan confessed.

Does that mean she is going to reconcile with him? Caiden stood there, dejected.

Thump! Someone kicked the door open.

"Who's that?" Caiden hollered.

"It's me!" It was Larry who showed up unexpectedly.

When Larry heard this man came to look for Joan, he immediately dropped everything and drove over.

"Why are you here?" Caiden asked.

"I should be the one asking you," Larry retorted.

Joan could clearly feel Larry's hostility.

Oh my! I should get Caiden to leave now.

"Go, quick!" Joan muttered under her breath as she pushed him out.

Why should I leave? Caiden turned to face her, stubborn refusal clearly written on his face.

"I'm not leaving!" he thundered.
