Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2512

"Ms. Duff, please don't be too offended by Larry's words. He really cares about Joan, so..." Caspian faltered.

So? That doesn't excuse him for yelling hurtful words at me! Della huffed in utter annoyance.

"Caspian!" Jessica suddenly leaped towards them from out of the blue.

Caspian turned to ask her, "What brings you here?"

Before responding, Jessica sized up Della before doing the same with Caspian. Jealousy fizzled inside Jessica's chest as she eyeballed the two with suspicion.

"Did I interrupt you from chatting up some hot chick?" she intentionally spat whilst side-eyeing Della.

"I'll get going now since I've got matters to attend do." Della then spun on her heels and left without waiting for a response.

"Ms. Duff, allow me to send you off..." Caspian mumbled.

Before he could finish his sentence, Jessica yanked him by the ears.

This made him scream out, "O-ouch! Ouch, that really hurts!"

She shot him a beady-eyed glare as she threatened, "You're offering to send her off?"

"No-nope! She can see herself out," Caspian surrendered.

Some distance away, Della had overheard their commotion. She couldn't help but feel envious of Jessica and Caspian's loving relationship. Right after, Jessica invited herself into Larry's office and announced that she had something to discuss with him.

Larry couldn't be bothered to lift his head off the table as he commanded, "Get on with it."

Jessica instantly knew that he was upset from his intimidating tone and voice.

"Actually, it's nothing serious. I just wanted to discuss about the bookstore with you..." Jessica muttered whilst twiddling her thumbs.

She felt a little deflated, knowing that he probably didn't have the heart to go through future development plans for her bookstore business.

Much to her surprise, Larry shot upright in his seat. This time, his eyes met hers in a focused stare, "Okay, go on."

These days, Jessica's bookstore business was booming. She had already opened up several franchises in the market, all of which were well-received by customers and clientele alike. Therefore, she had plans to expand her business internationally.

"Do you have a detailed proposal?" Larry inquired, thus formally beginning their business discussion.

Meanwhile, another eager discussion took place in Nancy and Jory's home. Nancy's eyes rounded in disbelief at Joan as she shrilled, "Who the devil is Della? Larry's girlfriend? Joan, you must be out of your mind!"

"Quit yelling at me! That witch called herself his girlfriend. Though, I have to admit that she really is an exceptional woman..." Joan's tone bittered with a hint of jealousy.

"Yeah, but that still doesn't make her Larry's girlfriend!" Nancy urged.

"But she's into Larry..." Joan murmured as her shoulder slumped dejectedly.

This was something that Nancy didn't doubt.

Larry Norton, the president of Norton Corporation. He's got rugged good looks, immeasurable wealth, and an alluring personality; he's basically the ideal husband for most women on this planet. However, he already has someone he loves-Joan!

"Relax, Larry will never drop you for some random chick." Nancy shot a comforting smile whilst encouragingly patting Joan's arm.

Not a moment later, Nancy's eyes twinkled with an idea. "Let's go shopping, hmm?"

"I don't want to," Joan refused right away.

Nancy understood why; Joan must have felt too mentally and emotionally exhausted to go anywhere.

"Then how about you stay here and watch my kid for me?" Just as this suggestion left Nancy's mouth, she excitedly snatched up her bag and dashed out the living room without giving Joan a chance to refuse. This woman... how could she be so shameless to ditch her baby with me while she goes shopping? An amused sigh slipped out from Joan's lips as she watched Nancy scamper away.

"Ms. Watts, let me." One of the maids offered to hold the baby instead.

"It's okay. I'm not tired," Joan flashed a soft smile as she politely declined.

She stayed on the sofa whilst cooing lovingly at Nancy's baby in her arms. This scene was so heartwarming that even the butler, who stood aside, cracked the faintest smile.

Thud! Back at Larry's office, someone had kicked the door open.

"Who's there?" Larry called out.

"Me!" Nancy stepped in and shot a death-stare at him.

"Nancy? What are you doing here?" Larry asked. His eyes rounded with curiosity.

"I'm here to see you..." Nancy spoke in a normal tone before suddenly yelling out, "and this Della of yours!"

Della again? Larry felt his temples tighten with an oncoming headache.

Wait. Hold on. Did Della approach her too? That doesn't make sense!

"What did Della want with you?" Larry asked immediately.

"What on earth is going on, Larry? First, Gabriella and now Della? Do you truly love Joan at all?" Nancy didn't hold back. Her question struck him like an unforgiving whip.
