Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2632

Planting Doubts

Caiden turned and left the office at her hostile behavior.

Maybe I went overboard? Joan put down the pen in her hand and stared at Caiden's back.

Oh well.

"Mr. Owens!" Abigail shouted as she ran toward Caiden.

Abigail was no longer intimidated by Caiden after his willing participation in last night's game.

"Yes?" Caiden lifted his head and looked at Abigail. He tried to subdue the disappointment on his face.

"Did you get into a fight with Joan?" she asked bravely.

A few of her colleagues stared at her with their mouths wide open. They held their breaths in fearful anticipation of their boss' reaction.

"No," Caiden answered.

Abigail looked awkward.

"Mr. Owens, I may look young, but I'm an expert when it comes to relationships. I can help you if you need any relationship advice."

Wow. She really has no filter. Caiden paused for a moment before leaving without a word.

"You silly girl! He's our boss. Why are you sticking your nose into his private affairs?" her supervisor shouted.

"I'm just trying to help them out."

"Well, they don't need your help. They're perfectly fine."

Finally, Abigail realized how awkward the atmosphere had become. She returned to her desk in a huff and began typing furiously on the keyboard. She was pissed.

Meanwhile, Joan had been alternating between reviewing documents and photos on her computer. It was a busy day. Despite her busy schedule, she could not help but think of Caiden from time to time. She chalked it up to the regret she felt at her earlier hostility.

"Ms. Watts, someone's here to see you," one of the workers yelled from outside her office.

"Let her in!" Joan replied.

"Are you busy?" Della asked as she entered Joan's office.

"Della? Why are you here?" Joan was surprised at her visit.

"I'm here to see you," she said with a smile.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little busy right now."

"That's fine. I can wait," Della answered.

Is she here because of Larry? Joan appraised the woman before her carefully. Her heart sank.

An hour later, she had finally finished her work for the day. When she lifted her head, she realized all the staff members had left.

"They've all knocked off work," Della added.

"I see."

"Let's grab a bite," Della continued.

"Ms. Duff, I'd appreciate it if you could just be honest with me about your visit," Joan interrupted.

"Joan, I think we need to talk," Della said seriously.

What else is there to talk about? Joan raised a brow at her but didn't say anything.

Why would you be here if not for Larry?

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Joan asked directly.

"Do you still love Larry?" Della asked her.

What a stupid question. I wouldn't be with Larry now if I didn't love him!

"Of course I love him," she answered firmly.

"Well, do you know the difficulties that Larry is facing right now?" Della continued.

Now that was a question for Joan to ponder.

Larry's never said a word about Norton Corporation's growth, and I've been busy with the photography studio, so I haven't asked him either. Is his company really in trouble? Perplexed, Joan could only stare at Della.

"Larry's hit some rocks thanks to you. There've been a few obstacles lately," Della stated tactlessly.

What is she talking about? Joan stared at her sternly while she waited for Della to elaborate.

"Why? Have you forgotten? I'm sure you remember Jake? He's no longer working with Larry, and his boycott is on an indefinite timeline. It's all because of you," Della accused.

Joan didn't know how to react to Della's harsh statement.
