Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2717

Sudden Board Meeting

Joan smiled awkwardly in response.

I guess these two are the only ones that genuinely care about me right now...

She hadn't contacted Nancy, Jessica, and Delilah for fear of them informing Larry of her location.

The three of them soon arrived at Abelyn's villa which she had purchased before going overseas. "Well? What do you think?" Abelyn asked them excitedly with her arms outstretched.

"It's great," Joan said with a chuckle.

It was very classical in design and had a courtyard, swimming pool, as well as a huge lawn.

This villa must've costed a fortune...

Joan thought to herself as she sat down on a swing nearby.

"Abelyn, please... You could only dream of living here if it weren't for me!" Dustin said in annoyance.

"Oh, come on, Dustin! Be a gentleman, will you? It's not like I'm the only one staying here anyway..." Abelyn protested.

Wait... What does Abelyn owning this villa have to do with Dustin? Joan shot the two of them a confused look.

"Fine, I'll tell you the truth. Abelyn and I bought this villa together..."

According to Dustin, he sold his house to aid Abelyn in purchasing that villa. Her parents objected to her decision on buying a house in Chanaea, so she had no choice but to ask Dustin for help. "Jeez... It's just a villa, man! Why are you being so petty about it? I'll buy you two just like this one overseas, okay?"

Dustin simply shot her a glare in silence, much to Joan's amusement as she always found their arguments to be hilarious.

After unloading their stuff and tidying the place up, the three of them made their way to the supermarket.

Meanwhile, the people in Norton Corporation were working their bottoms off, and morale seemed to be incredibly low for some of them.

"Larry, the board of directors are calling for a board meeting!" Caspian shouted anxiously as he burst into the office.

"Why are you panicking? Here, have a cup of tea," Larry said coldly.

"They're on the way right now, Larry!" Caspian added.

"I know that. Now, calm down."

Larry pointed at the sofa nearby and motioned for him to take a break.

This day is bound to come sooner or later, and I've been expecting it for quite some time now...

"Mr. Norton, I just got a call from the board of directors. It's about the board meeting," the assistant said nervously.

"All right, go get prepared," Larry replied calmly.

How is he so calm? Under normal circumstances, the board of directors would have to discuss with him and agree upon a time and date for such meetings. However, they simply informed him of the meeting this time with no prior discussion whatsoever!

The assistant couldn't help but feel uneasy at the thought of that and said cautiously, "Mr. Norton, there's no telling what could happen in this board meeting...'

"Don't worry, I'm prepared for anything. You just do as I say, got it?" Larry said sternly while looking up at the assistant who then nodded and quickly walked out of his office.

"Are you ready, Larry?" Caspian asked nervously from the sofa.

"Yes, I'm ready," Larry replied while signing some documents.

He must be pretty confident if he's that calm about it! If all goes well with this, Joan won't have to leave Larry! Caspian breathed a sigh of relief and looked out the window.
