Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2497

Della had the feeling that Jessica was an ambitious career woman and that the two of them would get along well.

Soon after, she made her way toward Larry and asked him out, "Larry, shouldn't you throw a welcome party to celebrate my arrival? Why don't we have dinner together?" Without sparing a glance at her, Larry rejected, "I'm not free. You can go with Caspian."

"Larry, I..." Caspian cast a glance at Jessica.

What should I do now? Jessica will never let me have dinner with Della.

He was stumped, not knowing if he should listen to Larry's order or disobey it for the woman he loved.

"What? Is there a problem?" Larry looked up and cast his eyes at Jessica.

As reluctant as she was, Jessica said, "Well, since you've given the orders, of course, there's no problem with it."

Ugh! Who the hell is this woman? Larry even asked Caspian to welcome her arrival. Jessica furrowed her brows and tightened her grip on her phone.

The next moment, she cast her eyes at Della and said coldly, "Larry, actually, I wish to get to know this business partner of yours."

Ha! That's great! I wish to get to know you as well. Della curled her lips into a smile.

"Then, the three of you shall go together!" said Larry, who was happy with the arrangement.

Wouldn't it be a little too awkward? Caspian cast his eyes at Larry and then at the two ladies. "Larry, why don't we wait until you're done with..."

"Don't you see Larry is busy? Let's go!" Jessica urged as she pushed him out of the office.

On their way out, Caspian asked, "Ms. Duff, what would you like to eat?"

Jessica twisted the man's ear and scolded, "Caspian! Shouldn't you ask me that instead of other women?"

Later, the three arrived at a pizza joint. As usual, the place was packed with customers.

They soon became the center of attention. After all, they seemed to be those people who would dine in a high-end restaurant, and their presence in the fast-food outlet was out of the place. In fact, Jessica had intentionally brought Della to a pizza joint. "Ms. Duff, do you like pizza? Caspian and I like it a lot!"

Standing beside her, Caspian couldn't wrap his head around what she just said.

When did I say I like pizza? That's bullshit. Besides, I have diarrhea for the past few days.

"Oh, I see. So, Caspian likes pizza too." Della cast her eyes at Caspian as she spoke.

"Of course. He likes whatever I like. Isn't it, Caspian?" asked Jessica while clinging on to Caspian's arm.

The latter reminded in a low voice, "Jessica, we're in a public space."

What's wrong with Jessica? She is not acting like herself. Is she... jealous? Inexplicably, Caspian felt a sense of joy in his heart. Well, it kind of feels good to make her jealous. "What's the matter? Can't I cling on to your arm? We always do this in public." Then, Jessica turned to face Della and asked, "Ms. Duff, do you mind?"

Della flashed her a smile and said, "Of course not. I understand."

It was normal for a woman in love to be clingy. Although she was not the clingy type, she had seen many women who liked to stick to their boyfriends. "Ms. Duff, what would you like to eat? Feel free to order whatever you want," Caspian said hospitably.

Suddenly, he cried out, "Ouch!" It turned out that Jessica just pinched his arm.

The next moment, Della commented, "That must hurt a lot."

Upon that, the atmosphere turned awkward, and an eerie silence ensued.

After a long while, Jessica finally spoke up, "Della, let's cut to the chase. Tell me, how did you know them? And also, what's your purpose of coming to Chanaea?” Della was surprised by her bluntness, and she found her all the more likable.
