Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2467

Nonetheless, Della's words shocked Matthew greatly. After all, everyone in the world knew that she was a single-minded person. She could acquire any company or drive the development of a certain company through collaboration. As for whether it would be for good or otherwise, it all hinged on her mood.

"I'll be honest with you, Ms. Duff. We've never aired our dirty laundry in public, but my brother is sick and has been receiving treatment. So, your consideration is very much appreciated. Whatever it is, you can just speak to me," Matthew asserted in a low voice after having straightened his clothes and shoulders.

Hah! What's the use of speaking to him? He's not the person I want to meet! What a joke! Furthermore, it's obvious at a single glance that he's an entirely unreliable man. He certainly doesn't have many aspirations in life, not to mention career-wise!

Indeed, that was the truth. Otherwise, he would have made something of himself ages ago.

"No, that's not acceptable. I'll repeat it once more I'll only discuss this matter with Mr. Lancaster. Otherwise, I'll simply proceed with an acquisition." As Della said that, she got up to leave.

No, I can't allow that to happen! How could the company that I've finally liberated fall into some other woman's hands?

"Don't make any hasty decisions first, Ms. Duff. Look, we're discussing this matter right now, aren't we? Let's take it easy, okay?" Matthew hastily blurted.

Ugh! Why am I so unlucky these days that the people I meet are more unreasonable as they come?

"I don't want to waste my time with you, so just call me when your brother has recovered. If I don't see him within three days, I'll proceed with the acquisition." As Della said that, she strode out of the office. Argh! How could this shameless b*tch be so cocky? What's the big deal about having a rich father? Behind her, Matthew gritted his teeth as his expression contorted into a mask of rage.

"What should we do now?" the assistant mumbled beside him.

"What else can we do other than playing along with her?" Matthew retorted irately.

I simply don't understand how that damn man got acquainted with Ms. Duff that she's adamant to talk business with him alone!

After leaving the office, Della went straight back to the hospital.

In the hospital room, Larry remained lying on the hospital bed. Bored, he flipped through a magazine absent-mindedly.

I wonder how Mr. Lancaster is doing right now and whether Ms. Duff can resolve this problem. Will Matthew really relent and let Mr. Lancaster go? Anxiousness brew within him.

All of a sudden, his cell phone on the table at the side started ringing. He initially thought that it was Della, but when he picked up the cell phone, he saw that it was a call from Joan. At that, he abruptly remembered that he hadn't phoned her in a long time. All at once, sheer guilt assailed him.

"Are you okay recently, Larry?" Joan asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, so don't worry. I'm just rather busy these days," Larry hastily answered.

"Oh, I see. You haven't called in a long time, so Ms. Young was worried that something had happened and asked me to phone you..." Joan murmured hesitantly.

"Hey, don't use me as an excuse, Joan Watts! The truth is, you're missing him, so stop making excuses!" Delilah hollered from the kitchen.

"Don't put words in my mouth, Ms. Young!" Joan countered shyly.

At that very moment, a wealth of warmth imbued Larry, and his mood instantly brightened significantly.

"Why, don't you miss me?" he suddenly queried.

"Of course, I do. How could I possibly not? I miss you every day, and I even dream of you!" Joan hurriedly admitted in a frantic voice. In the next moment, she went silent, perchance having realized that she was too brazen.

Hearing that, Larry's lips curved into a gratified smile.

Perhaps she's the only woman who can really comfort me in this world.

"I miss you, too. I miss you so, so much," Larry murmured.

All at once, Joan was touched. It's enough as long as he still keeps me in mind.

"How are things going for you over there? Are there any beautiful ladies parading themselves around you?" she questioned sheepishly.
