Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2761

Lucinda Xenos Found

Ah, it turns out that she has made plans, after all.

"How did you get acquainted with Joan Watts?' the bartender asked Abelyn beside him in a murmur while they were in the restaurant.

"Hmm? Well, I guess you can say that we started out as enemies." Abelyn chuckled awkwardly, her guard going up at once. This is strange. Why did he suddenly bring up Joan? "What is she up to recently?" the bartender pressed without lifting his head.

At his continued questions, chagrin welled within Abelyn. Putting aside the issue of jealousy, the fact that he had randomly inquired about Joan put her on high alert.

"Why are you asking? Are you acquainted with her?" Abelyn murmured while stirring the coffee in her cup. She slowly raised her head and regarded the man in front of her with puzzlement.

"No, not at all. Uh... Do you want a refill for your coffee?" The bartender deliberately changed the subject. Nonetheless, the atmosphere suddenly became tense, and conversation between them tapered.

Abelyn, who even had a row with her best friends because of her boyfriend, suddenly felt dreary. The joy within her dissipated significantly as well.

Meanwhile, Joan was nonchalantly flipping through a magazine in the living room. There was nothing much she could do right then, merely waiting for news before executing her plan. Ring, ring!

"Your cell phone is ringing, Joan," Dustin prompted.

"Coming!" Joan hastily called out, dashing over at once. Glimpsing the caller ID flashing across the screen, she immediately answered the call without the slightest hesitation.

"How are things going? Have you found her?" Her voice was tinged with a hint of anxiety and worry.

"Good morning, Ms. Watts. We have found Lucinda Xenos' whereabouts," the other party answered confidently.

"Alright, I got it. Please send me the location, and thank you so much."

Oh my God, this is great! Joan squealed as she stood there with excitement written all over her face.

When Dustin saw that, surprise flooded him. What happened that she's that happy? He slowly got to his feet and ambled toward Joan, who was a near distance away. "What is it? What happened?"

He scrutinized the woman in front of her worriedly while waiting for her reply.

"They've found Lucinda Xenos, so I'm going to seek her out!" As Joan said that, she made to leave.

"No!" Dustin shouted out of the blue, causing Joan to jump in fright.

"What do you mean by that?" Joan eyed the man before her dubiously as bafflement assailed her.

"You can't go out go now since there might be reporters waiting to ambush you at the door," Dustin reminded.

Dear Lord, I forgot about that! All at once, Joan's gaze dimmed. Those reporters are really bloodsuckers, and they'll definitely do their best to discredit me. No, I can't go there personally!

"I'll go. Tell me the location, and I'll go to clarify the entire matter with Lucinda Xenos on your behalf." Dustin was exceedingly emphatic and resolute, which in turn increased Joan's trust in him. And the truth of the matter was, he indeed deserved her trust.

In no time, he drove to a nightclub. The nightclub was hopping with people of all genders and ages who mingled together without any restraint, creating a sensual atmosphere. Damn her to hell! She could've gone to any other place, yet she just had to come to this nightclub!

Thud!

Dustin slammed his fist into the wall while emanating a cold aura. There were too many people that he hadn't any inkling where he should start looking.

Unbeknownst to him, the cell phone in his pocket had buzzed for a long time. However, he didn't notice the vibration perchance because it was too crowded in the nightclub.

Exhausted, he finally plopped down on a seat in a corner. It was only then that he took out his cell phone and noticed the dozen of missed calls from Joan. Seeing that, he quickly left the seat with his cell phone in hand and strode toward the washroom some distance away.

"Hello. Why did you call, Joan?" Dustin asked, raising his voice while clapping a hand against his other ear.

"Room 4! She's in Room 4!" Joan shouted with everything she had to inform him of Lucinda's room number out of fear that he wouldn't hear her.
