Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2605

As expected, he treats me exactly like how he treats any of his clients. He is apparently drawing a line between us with his courtesy, humility, and flattery. "Thanks for the best wishes," Della forced a smile and replied.

Late at night, both Larry and Joan were in the living room. "What do you plan to do?" he turned to ask Joan who was seated beside him on the sofa.

She was staring into space and lost in her own thoughts.

At the moment, she was feeling dispirited like an inflated balloon.

She had lost her confidence all of a sudden as she was unable to foresee where she stood in the future. Apart from that, she could not assure that there would not be any changes to the team as well.

"If you plan to set up a new photography studio, I can invest in it," Larry offered her.

The plan had crossed his mind long ago, yet Joan had rejected him right away when he brought up the topic.

She hoped she could sort things out and pursue her career with her own capabilities, and not just solely relying on Larry.

"No, thanks," Joan turned him down again softly as she stood up and moved toward the window.

She has really changed! Gazing at Joan who was standing by the window, there were indecipherable complex emotions in his eyes.

Perhaps, I need to give her more time to ponder before she finally replaces her direction!

"Why do both of you stay up till now? Is there anything?" Delilah asked them with great concern.

"Ms. Young," Joan turned instinctively and greeted her.

"It's getting late. Both of you'd better go to bed soon. Don't forget that you need to wake up early tomorrow morning. Oh yeah, Joan, I almost forget to tell you that Dustin came and looked for you today." She yawned and walked straight into her own room.

The moment Larry heard about Dustin's name, a wave of fury surged within him.

"What did he want with you?" he frowned at once and asked in exasperation.

"I have no idea," Joan replied.

At the peak of frustration due to the acquisition of the photography studio, she was emotionally exhausted and was unable to spare any second on other matters.

"Let's go to bed." Larry stood up and walked into the bedroom.

Joan entered the room after him and lay down silently beside him on the bed. Nevertheless, it was a sleepless night for her. As time elapsed, she continued to stay awake with her eyes widely open. Staring into the darkness outside the window, her gaze drifted off into deep contemplation.

The next morning, Larry woke up really early. He stretched his arms and turned to his side. To his surprise, he was alone on the bed. Where did she go? He looked around the room, yet there was no sign of her.

Did she stay up the whole night?

"Joan!" He dashed out of the bedroom at once and yelled in the direction of the living room.

"She has stepped out long ago!" Delilah responded from the kitchen.

"Where did she go?"

"I'm not really sure. She mentioned something like she's going to meet her team members from the photography studio," Delilah replied.

She is reluctant to accept it when I offered to help her, yet she is thinking of setting up a new photography studio. How is she supposed to set up one without anyone's help? I really don't understand why is she making her own life difficult!

In the park, a group of people was gathering and they seemed to be discussing something excitedly. Joan's arrival had spurred their excitement.

"Joan, have you thought it through and make up your mind?" a young employee asked softly.

Ever since their photography studio was acquired by Jake, they did not have a proper workplace. Since Joan was still in the midst of setting up a new company, they could only gather temporarily in the park, brainstorming on the future implementation for the new photography studio in advance.

"Setting up a new photography studio is not as simple as what we think. First of all, we need a large sum as our fund. Yet we don't have any sponsor..." Joan said hesitantly.

She was looking forward to setting up a new photography studio so there would be a new workplace for the other employees. Nevertheless, she knew that she was still sort of in a recovery state and not prepared to overcome any potential obstacles after the new set-up.

I must think before I leap. At least I should have a backup plan so I won't be helpless in case I encounter any financial crisis after setting up the new photography studio!

"Joan, you are afraid, aren't you?" one of the young employees asked her directly.

She could not deny that her heart was filled with inexplicit uneasiness at the moment. After all, women, in general, were not as decisive as men and tended to spend more time contemplating prior to decision- making.

"Don't be afraid!" A familiar voice sounded abruptly from her back.

Joan turned spontaneously and was surprised to see Caiden. "Why are you here?" she gazed at Caiden and asked surprisingly.

"I heard that you are setting up a new photography studio?" He smiled at the crowd in front of him and asked directly.

"Yeah, we are still planning on it." Joan replied frankly.

"Do you want to invest in it?" One of the photographers asked jokingly.

"Why not! You can count me in on that!" Caiden replied casually.

In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Are you joking?" A young employee asked in disbelief.

"Of course not! I'm serious with that!" Caiden shook his head and replied firmly.
