Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2573

"Huh? Aren't you going, Ms. Watts?" a staff asked disappointedly.

"I still have some pending work to complete, so I won't be able to join you guys," Joan answered softly.

"All of you must enjoy yourselves to the fullest! This is an order and also a task," she added. Then, she left with a pile of documents.

The same evening, she had to meet an important client who had just returned from abroad. If the collaboration deal was confirmed, it would help bring the photography studio to the next level.

Soon, the sun set. Most staff had already left, except for Joan, who was still typing away on her laptop in the office.

Right then, her phone rang. As soon as she read the text message, she grabbed her jacket and headed out.

"You're Joan Watts?" Abelyn asked while stirring her cup of coffee.

"Yes, I'm Joan, the owner of the photography studio. Nice to meet you." She extended her right hand.

Unfortunately, Abelyn did not shake her hand.

Embarrassed, Joan withdrew her hand and gave her a wry smile.

"How's the business at your studio?" the woman asked.

"So far so good," Joan replied.

For some reason, Joan felt that the woman had a hidden agenda.

"I'd like to have my photo taken tomorrow," the woman presented her request.

As expected, big clients don't beat around the bush.

However, Joan did not know that the woman's name was Abelyn Chipman; neither was she aware that Abelyn was Dustin's best friend.

"If everything goes well, I'll introduce you to more customers," Abelyn looked her in the eyes and said with a serious face.

"Great! Rest assured that we won't let you down." Joan was resolute.

She had full confidence in the skills of her photographers at the studio.

After a brief chat, Abelyn found Joan to be an easy-going woman whereas Joan felt that Abelyn was a mysterious and unpredictable individual.

Since Dustin couldn't bring himself to deal with Joan, I shall take care of it on his behalf. Abelyn pinched her thigh to remind herself not to fall for that woman's charm.

At that moment, she was able to identify with Dustin. Perhaps, he likes how composed and calm she is, just like a well-grown lotus.

"It's a date then. I'll go over tomorrow morning..."

With that, they made a deal for their first collaboration.

Thereafter, Joan wanted to join her staff at the gathering. However, she changed her mind after checking the time on her watch.

"I thought you had an outing?" Delilah asked.

"No, I went to meet a client," Joan uttered as she slumped on the sofa.

"Dustin dropped by just now to look for you," Delilah informed her.

"Whatever for?"

"I'm not sure, but it doesn't seem urgent," Delilah answered.

"That's a good one, Ms. Chipman. All right, say cheese... Excellent!"

"Come over and adjust the camera lower."

At the studio, the photographer was busy taking Abelyn's photos.

"Who's that woman? Ms. Watts seems to value her greatly."

"I don't know, but she's a big client, for sure."

The sexy and attractive woman had successfully piqued the interest of a few staff who were gossiping at the studio.

"What are you guys up to? Engaging in tittle-tattles?" Joan approached them and patted their shoulders.

"Ms. Watts, this document needs your signature," one of the staff quickly changed the subject.

After a long while, Abelyn commanded the shooting to a halt due to her exhaustion. She then strode into Joan's office, without considering herself as an outsider. "How was it? Are you satisfied so far?" Joan stood up and welcomed her.

"It's not bad," Abelyn scanned her surroundings and then replied.

Joan's ordinary office looked just like her staff's working space; there were no fancy decors. Looks like Joan isn't as sophisticated as I thought, after all.
