Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2623

A Curious Pair

Della was quite tipsy herself by now.

They had only themselves to blame for opting to consume drinks with higher alcohol content.

"More, Boss!" Jessica started to raise her voice all of a sudden.

"No, thanks!" Larry harried in response.

"Could you not be such a party-pooper, Larry? I'm your little sister, so what's the big deal about bumping a bottle off you? Next time, I'll treat you to an even bigger one. Sounds fair?" Jessica slapped Larry on the back and ranted.

"Look at how drunk you both are. I think we should call it a day!" With that, Larry tried to help Jessica to her feet.

"You're no fun. Why are you chasing us home when we aren't done yet?" Della chimed in.

Sheesh...

Larry was speechless at the duo in front of him.

"Ignore him, Ms. Duff. Let's carry on. I still have something important that I must discuss with you," Jessica said loudly.

What was there to discuss in the state that she's in? Larry shook his head at the woman who seemed quite out of control.

"Let's have it!" Della shouted.

"Let me tell you something, Della. Larry's married. He has a wife at home," Jessica blurted.

The air seemed to have frozen over in that instant.

Larry was stunned as well.

"What are you talking about? I'm really in love with him," Della quickly remonstrated.

"No, no, no, no! Larry belongs to Joan!"

The duo were soon engaged in a fierce debate.

He gave up and let them be, as he reckoned that they would forget everything by the time they sobered up. Larry went on and occupied himself with the food and his phone. He had never came across a curious pair like these two.

Suddenly, he heard someone's phone ringing.

Upon closer observation, he determined that it was not Della's phone, but Jessica's.

"Hey, answer it!" Larry nudged at Jessica next to him.

"Don't touch me. Can't you see we're busy here? Don't bother us!" Jessica shrugged him off in reply.

"Love is not something that we can control, right? Just like the feelings that I have for Larry..." Della continued to regard Jessica in earnest.

At his wit's end, Larry finally walked outside with Jessica's phone in hand.

"Where have you been? Why haven't you returned at this hour?" Caspian hollered.

"Quit yelling. My eardrums are almost bursting," Larry plugged his ears and replied.

Caspian quickly softened his tone.

"Larry? Why come it's you who's answering?"

"Your girl's drunk. Come over and pick her up." He then hung up right after.

Drinking again! Caspian jumped up from the couch and made his way into the living room.

The two women were not done arguing inside the private room going head-to-head in what seemed like a never-ending battle.

"You're behaving like a mistress!" Jessica howled as she slammed her hands upon the table.

"I'm not a mistress! Larry and Joan aren't married so he's fair game!" Della was not to be outdone. Hopeless duo! Larry settled himself on the couch at the side and paid no more attention to them.

"Tell us, Larry. Who do you like?" Jessica abruptly turned to ask.

"Yeah! Tell us who you like to work with most?" Della chimed.

"Ladies, would you kindly stop making things difficult for Larry? Come on, let's go home..." Caspian said after he pushed through the doors.

"Shut up!"

"Shut up!"

The two women yelled in unison.

Caspian was positively dumbstruck.

"That was beautiful! Cheers!" With that, Jessica raised her glass once again.

When did Della become so sloppy? Caspian was quite astonished.

The woman he used to know had to doll herself up even if she was just going for a run, obviously a stark contrast to this shameless drunkard in front of him.
