Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2658

He Has Gone On A Business Trip

But he realized that it was Joan who was sitting across from him.

Currently, Joan had her head on one of her arms, sleeping soundly at the table.

Seeing her lying quietly in front of him, Jake could not help but to lower his head and scrutinize her dainty face.

Actually, Joan is a rather beautiful woman herself, even prettier than Faye. But why did she not accept me to be her boyfriend? In fact, I'm just as outstanding as Larry. I'm good-looking, physically fit, powerful, and have a strong family background as well. Why does she choose to be with him instead of me? As he pondered away, he subconsciously extended his hand and wrapped his fingers around hers tightly. "Uh..." Feeling his tight grip, Joan frowned in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.

When he saw her about to wake up, he immediately retracted his hand and pretended as if nothing had happened.

"You're awake," he greeted with a smile.

She stared at him groggily for a moment and rubbed her eyes. "Where is this?"

We're at a restaurant, of course.

He shook his head in amusement and took his coat hanging at the side, saying, "We should go. I'll send you home." Wait, that doesn't sound right. Why should I send her home?

He was stunned for a second before turning around and realizing that even Joan was weirded out by his statement, too. Before he could say anything, she waved her hands hastily and said, "Uhm... It's okay. I can go home on my own." "Okay then. Stay safe." With that, he turned on his heel and left in a huff.

What happened to me? Why did I care about her all of a sudden? I'm supposed to hate her and take revenge on her! As he stepped out of the restaurant, Joan watched his back and grinned at his strange behavior.

Ding, ding, ding...

Just then, her phone rang and vibrated on the table, taking her by surprise.

As soon as she picked up the call, Delilah's voice boomed over the phone. "Joan, where on earth are you?"

Oh no, she's angry!

Joan turned alert in an instant and replied softly, "Ms. Young, I was working overtime last night," she answered softly.

"What for? Larry even went to the photography studio to replace you, but apparently, you were not there."

Crap! Has he misunderstood what is going on?

Worried, Joan cut to the chase, "Ms. Young, is Larry home now?"

"Nope. He's gone to the office. Hurry up and go to Norton Corporation to explain yourself," Delilah advised before hanging up the call. Dared not to waste a second longer, she grabbed her things and dashed out of the restaurant, heading towards her car.

Seeing her leaving, one of the servers whispered, "Hey, why didn't they leave together? How strange."

"I don't know, but that woman seems familiar to me. I feel like I'd seen her somewhere before. Hmm," his colleague replied. Joan's eyes were filled with trepidation throughout the whole ride.

Unfortunately, it happened to be the rush hour at the moment, so she was caught in the traffic jam, making her even more agitated. Seeing that she would not be able to get there anytime soon, she quickly scrolled through her list of contacts and gave Larry a call. However, she was greeted with an intercept message. "Sorry but the number you have dialed cannot be reached..."

Sighing, she chucked her phone into her bag and proceeded to weave through the traffic to get there as soon as possible. Half an hour later, Joan finally reached the entrance of Norton Corporation. As soon as she barged through the door, she called, "Larry!"

Everyone around immediately turned and looked at her dubiously. Smiling apologetically at them, she was about to head over to Larry's office when she saw Caspian running towards her. "Joan, what's the matter? Why are you so anxious?" he asked concernedly.

I shook my head in response. "Ah, it's nothing. By the way, do you know where Larry is?"

"He's gone on a business trip. Did he not tell you?"

Huh, when did this happen? Joan was dumbstruck.

Suddenly, Jessica came running to them and called out, "Joan!"

"Hi, Jessica." She waved at her and smiled amicably.

Looking around, she turned to Caspian and asked, "Where is Larry?"

"He's gone out of town for a business trip." He scratched his head and darted a glance towards both of them, wondering why they asked him the same question.

What? He's gone for a business trip, too? Jessica eyed Larry's office in displeasure. When she went to the hospital just now, the nurse also told me that Della had been discharged and had gone on a business trip.

How could it be so coincidental? The two of them might have gone on the same business trip together.

With such thought in mind, she pulled Caspian by the ear and dragged him to the side. "Caspian, come here!"
