Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2554

There really is no helping her. Why does she need to unnecessarily complicate something that's really simple?

Dustin, when will you ever wake up! Staring at him, Jessica was tempted to give him a slap despite knowing how inappropriate it would be.

"I'm out of ideas. I did everything I could," Jessica lamented on the office sofa.

When he saw how dejected she was, Caspian knew that her persuasion had failed.

"What did Larry say?" she asked.

"What else can he say? He'll probably continue to wait," Caspian replied.

Given how both of them are dragging their feet, they really are made for each other. Jessica sighed.

As Larry had intensified his efforts at work, Norton Corporation's expansion made it the top conglomerate in the city. In second place, was the company owned by the Owens family. "Mr. Owens, congratulations."

"That's right. It's really unbelievable for someone as young as you to have expanded your business overseas. You have already exceeded the achievements of your predecessors." During the banquet, many elderly businessmen surrounded Caiden, trying to ingratiate themselves with him.

"Thank you for your kind wishes. Nevertheless, there's still a lot more for me to learn from all of you," Caiden replied at once.

At that moment, Caiden's parents were delightfully lapping up the crowd's praises of their son.

"Does Caiden have a girlfriend? That's my daughter over there, do you see her?"

"That's right. What kind of girl does your son like? Isn't it about time he got married?"

When Caiden's mom saw him toasting and socializing from afar, she felt a sense of pride.

Finally, the Owens family has a worthy heir. "Why don't you introduce your son to my daughter..."

In one corner, Larry was sitting by himself, looking lonely.

He never enjoyed such events but couldn't avoid them for fear of jeopardizing business relationships.

"Larry, don't you want to talk to them?" Caspian suggested.

What's there to talk about? Business? There no need for me to talk to that hypocritical bunch. Relationships? We don't even have a relationship to speak of.

"You should go ahead and enjoy yourself. Don't mind me," Larry insisted as he took a sip from his drink.

When Caiden saw Larry in his condition, he was surprised.

"What's up? Bad mood?" Caiden gradually approached and asked softly.

"What do you want?" Larry replied without even looking up.

"How are things with Joan?" Caiden asked with concern.

"None of your business," Larry snapped.

He really is a frosty one. Taking a seat beside Larry, Caiden swirled his wine glass as sympathy filled his eyes.

He was sincere in hoping that Larry and Joan could replace happiness together. However, no one had expected to see Dustin come in between them.

"Larry, let's go. Since there's nothing for you to do here, why don't you send me home?" Jessica came over and patted Larry on his arm.

Staring intently at Jessica, Larry looked up and asked, "Have you finished your negotiations? Is the deal done?"

"Don't worry, it's done. They agreed to invest," Jessica answered confidently as she patted her own chest.

However, she was unaware of how unpredictable the business world was. At any second, whatever that had been agreed could be reneged upon just as quickly. "Are you sure?" Larry repeated his question.

"Affirmative. So, let's go." Just as she spoke, she held his arm as they left together.

When Caspian saw both of them leaving, he quickly put down his glass and walked after them.

"Larry, where are we going? I want to go home!" Jessica exclaimed in the car, puzzled as to what he was doing.

"To the hospital," Larry snapped with a chilly expression.

We're going to see Joan, again! Jessica was upset as she looked at him. Sometimes, she felt that he should really give up on Joan, but he was simply too stubborn to do so.
