Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2686

Holding His Ground

"I'm at home. What's the matter?"

"Code red. You need to come to the office immediately!"

Caspian was having the shakes.

Larry hung up, and in a flash, he was out the door with his jacket in his hand.

"Larry, think hard about how you are going to tell Joan!"

Delilah was extremely concerned and couldn't figure out how things had gotten into this mayhem.

Larry got into his car, and bam! He rammed his fist onto the steering wheel to let off steam.

At Norton Corporation, flocks of reporters were blocking the entrance. They were all waiting for Larry.

When Larry saw the chaotic scene, he stealthily sneaked into the building via the backdoor.

The office was in an utter mess.

"Hey, what's all this?" Larry turned his head towards Caspian.

"Ms. Duff was here early in the morning. She was drunk and started smashing stuff the moment she arrived," Caspian nonchalantly explained. He didn't dare to stop Ms. Duff unless it was an instruction from Larry.

Thump!

Larry kicked his office's door open.

All employees outside his office held their breath in curiosity. It was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.

"Della, what are you up to?" Larry hastened his footsteps and glared at her.

"Finally, you're here, Larry. Do you know how scared I was after you left last night?" She threw him a hug.

Feeling out of place, Caspian shuffled quietly out of the room and closed the door.

"What do you want?" asked Larry.

"I want you to marry me, Larry." Della moaned.

"No way!"

"Then you shall lose everything!" Della snapped.

She was never a person who joked about, and meant every word she spoke.

"I don't love you."

"But I do, and I'm content with that."

Della clutched onto Larry with all her might and buried her head into his chest.

"What's going on? What's with Ms. Duff?"

"No idea. She was throwing tantrums a minute ago. How did she suddenly turn so compliant?"

"I guess Mr. Norton's the only person on this planet who could make her submit."

A few staff outside Larry's office were tittle-tattling about what they saw.

"Let me go!"

"No!"

Della's grip got tighter.

"Della, please understand that you have a public image to hold." Larry tried to talk sense into her. "It's not as important as you."

My goodness. This woman has turned mad! Larry pulled her away and flung her onto the couch.

"Listen. First of all, nothing's gonna happen between us. Secondly, if you want to terminate our contract, go ahead. You may leave now!" Larry's eyes widened, and his lips pressed tightly against each other as he pointed towards the door.

"Larry, what if your company goes bankrupt? You'd lose everything without me. Aren't you scared of that?"

Larry was terrified alright. But what petrified him most was him losing his principles!

"You may leave!"

"What if I don't?" Della was persistent.

Larry picked up his phone and made a call.

"Jasper, come to my office immediately and see Ms. Duff out!"

Jasper appeared in the blink of an eye and gestured courteously for Della to leave. "Ms. Duff, this way, please."

"You'll regret it, Larry!"

Della got up and left Larry's office in her platform heels.

The corner of Larry's mouth twitched.

He'd never once regretted. It was nothing, really. Worse comes to worst, the company would go bankrupt. He truly believed that he could rebuild his legacy from ground zero. He also trusted that Joan would be by his side, supporting him along the way.
