Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2591

"What should we do now, Ms. Chipman?" asked someone beside her.

"We don't do anything," Abelyn replied.

Of course, she was not about to let Joan off. She simply needed to make a detailed plan first.

Meanwhile, Joan had held a press conference to address the incident in the photography studio.

"Hi Ms. Watts, I'd like to ask a question. You'd been working as a supervisor in the photography studio when such an incident happened. How did you get through it?" asked a journalist. "Firstly, I want to thank my ex-husband. When I was having a difficult time and was feeling helpless, he was the one who gave me motivation and hopes," she answered affectionately. There was a round of applause from the audience...

With Larry's help, the incident with the photography studio had finally been completely resolved that day. Joan had returned to her office after the press conference ended. "Congratulations," said Jake softly as he walked in.

What's he doing here again? Noticing his presence, she got up and walked over.

"Are you here for me?" Joan asked.

"Why? Don't you welcome me?" he said, then took a seat.

Um... Joan was at a loss for words.

Ever since Larry had misunderstood her the previous time, she had been more careful to keep her distance from Jake. However, she did not expect that he would turn up at the company that day. "How's your business been lately?" he asked, looking out the office.

Observing his actions, Joan realized the true purpose of his appearance.

"It's been okay," she replied.

Then, she suddenly spoke into the landline on her table, "Come into the office."

Very soon, the door was gently pushed open.

As soon as her assistant walked in, Jake's eyes fell on her, carrying a very affectionate look. Feeling his gaze, the assistant smiled slightly at him, then immediately walked toward Joan. "You're looking for me, Ms. Watts?" she asked gently.

"You've been working hard recently. You can go home and rest now," Joan replied straightforwardly.

Her assistant was instantly shocked.

"But today's a workday," she hurriedly reminded Joan.

Is she firing me? The assistant stared eagerly at Joan, with a nervous look on her face.

"I know you've been working overtime recently, so I want to let you relax for today. Since it's also the weekend tomorrow, you can rest for longer," she explained while flipping through some documents. Oh, so that's what it is. The assistant held a hand against her chest, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Um... I'm not tired. It's okay, I can still..."

"You have to go back and rest today. Or you can go out and play," said Joan firmly as she glanced over at Jake.

Her tone basically made her words an order. The assistant hesitated, wanting to speak. However, she eventually did not and left the office in silence after that.

On the sofa, Jake was absentmindedly flipping through some newspapers, lost in thought. He seemed to have something on his mind.

"Aren't you going to leave?" she asked.

"Soon," he replied.

"If you don't leave right now, someone else would have asked my assistant out on a date by then."

Suddenly, Jake raised his head as his eyes lit up.

She's right. Her assistant's so pretty. She's basically a goddess. Surely there's already a line of men waiting to date her!

"I'm leaving, bye," he said as he hurriedly ran out of the office.

Joan laughed as she watched him go.

And you told me you didn't like her! You said you didn't have the slightest bit of feelings for her. If I didn't force you, you really wouldn't have realized that you liked her. Indeed, in only two days, Jake's relationship with her assistant had grown by leaps and bounds. At that point, he no longer needed Joan's reminders for him to realize his feelings.

All along, he had taken his gratitude for Joan to be love. However, with the appearance of Joan's assistant, Jake was able to really feel the sweetness of falling in love.
