Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2574

"How do you cope with such a large-scale photography studio single-handedly? Must be tough I presume?" Abelyn was curious.

It's exceptionally challenging. Joan smiled politely. Admittedly, she wanted to give up at the initial stage when she first took over its operations. In fact, she wanted to sell it off and dismiss the entire team. In the end, she persevered through the challenges because of the faith her staff had in her. How the photography studio could develop according to plans within a short span of time was beyond her expectation. "Thanks to my team of staff. As long as they're with me, I have no fear," Joan replied briefly.

Truth be told that her team was the motivation that fueled her persistence. She was reluctant to give up on a group of passionate and ambitious talents. She could never bear to see their disappointed expressions.

Abelyn was stunned as she glanced over the woman in front of her.

I've only heard about how passively submissive Joan was, but I wasn't aware that she's actually a career-minded person who values relationships.

Well, it goes to show that we can't trust all the rumors we hear.

Abelyn strongly believed that Dustin had made a lot of sacrifices for that woman.

"Is there anything wrong, Ms. Chipman?" Joan muttered.

"Oh, nothing, everything's fine." Abelyn quickly collected herself.

She contemplated. On one hand, she felt sorry for Dustin and wanted to acquire the studio for him. On the other hand, she found Joan to be a decent person with a pleasant personality.

At Dustin's house, he questioned Abelyn loudly, "What did you just say? You went to the photography studio? What did you do there?"

"Why are you so worked up? I didn't do anything to Joan," Abelyn replied.

He's so worried because he has a soft spot for Joan.

"Didn't I say it before that I can handle my own matters and I don't need you meddling in my business?" he reiterated his position.

"I didn't meddle in your affairs."

"Then, what are you planning to do exactly?" he interrogated her.

"I want to acquire the photography studio," she said calmly.

Dustin was dumbstruck by her statement.

Abelyn's thought process was very simple. She merely wanted him to focus on his career. Whatever that he could not achieve, she would do it for his sake.

Although Dustin understood Abelyn's perspective, the thought still did not sit well with him.

"Whatever it is, the photography studio belongs to either you or me." Abelyn sipped her tea.

She's simply unreasonable! Enraged, Dustin left the living room.

People need a push to go the distance, otherwise others will never know how great they can be. Take Dustin for example, he became so reserved and even gave up on multiple opportunities to upgrade himsel because of Joan. In the end, he's got nothing.

Abelyn wanted to prove a point to Dustin, that love was not the only thing of great importance in life. There were other things that should take priority such as having a prospective career.

"Ms. Watts, I think we need to be more careful," Faye urged.

"What do you have in mind?" Joan asked.

"This is our first time working with Ms. Chipman. I think that we don't need to rush into a subsequent deal with her. Moreover, we need to get to know her a little bit more..." Faye said a lot to convince Joan earnestly, but Joan was very reluctant to give up on such a big client.

"She can bring us many businesses," she reminded her assistant.

"Precisely the reason why we should replace out more about her, no?"

“Here, I have her information. You can take a look," Joan gave a casual reply.

"Ms. Watts, those are information from the Internet..."

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Suddenly, Joan's phone rang. It was Larry.

"Where are you?" Larry asked.

"At the photography studio."

Glancing at Joan who was on the phone, Faye sighed while exiting the office. I pray and hope that Abelyn is nothing more than a regular client. Watching Faye's leaving back, Joan turned her head sideways and continued talking on the phone.
