Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2803

The Fight Has Just Begun

"Mr. Wilson," Ted asked carefully, "Well, shall we go over and say hi?"

No, we can't greet her.

Jake clenched his fists in an attempt to suppress the urge of meeting Joan. She must still think that I hate her. I need to give her some time to gradually change her perception of me... "No need. Let's head back," as he spoke, Jake turned around and walked toward the car.

What does he have in mind? Dumbfounded, Ted watched him walk away.

"Arrange for someone to be stationed here and protect her. Remember, don't let her get hurt at all costs. Also, don't allow anyone to disturb her," Jake instructed solemnly.

Ted was completely baffled. What's Mr. Wilson doing? Has he fallen for Joan? Then, what about Faye?

I guess it's normal for a guy to desire women and love a few of them at the same time. Ted fixed his shirt and nodded unswervingly.

Joan was enjoying her moments by the sea with the old woman. She had no clue that Jake was there. The latter then started a brand new plan.

At the Norton Corporation, all staff was as busy as a bee, especially Larry. Recently, there had been additional projects, which made him a little excited.

The busier he got, the lesser time he had to think about Joan. That was exactly what Jessica had hoped for.

"Have a cup of coffee, Larry." Jessica served him a cuppa.

"I've said this before; don't come over to my office until Joan is found," Larry stated firmly without glancing at her.

Pouting, displeasure flitted across Jessica's gaze.

As she had expected, he was harsh with his words. Yet, she was not bothered by it.

Larry should remain his workaholic self and be in that tiptop condition to motivate his staff at Norton Corporation, regardless if Joan was dead or alive. If the boss slacks off, what reason do the employees have to work hard? Hence, she chose to procrastinate although she had been searching for her too.

"I heard that you've acquired a few more projects lately. Is that right, Larry?" Jessica smiled gladly.

"Yes," Larry answered indifferently.

Seeing him being overwhelmed with work, Jessica's heart went out to him.

She had once loved Larry dearly, but had given up after multiple failed attempts of winning his heart. Since then, she had devoted her feelings toward Caspian.

"Oh, congratulations!" she commented.

Larry paused for a brief second before continuing to sign some documents.

I wonder how's Joan right now? Or is she already in heaven? His expression dimmed and remained faintly aloof.

Jessica knew that he was thinking about Joan. So, she stopped talking and went back to sit down on the sofa.

Joan, are you still alive? Squinting her eyes at the ceiling, she sank into deep thoughts.

After what seemed like forever, she fell asleep on the sofa.

Bang! A panic-stricken Caspian darted into the office.

"What is it?" Larry stared at him angrily.

"Um... Jake has also established a fashion company," Caspian said with bated breath.

Larry put down the pen in his hand and paced across to the window. Staring at the lighthouse nearby, he looked burdened and worried. Looks like Jake is determined to fight me till the end? With his arms folded across his chest, Larry exuded an intimidating aura. Business is a win-or-lose game, and the competition with Jake has just begun.

"What should we do now, Larry?" Caspian sounded anxious.

What else? Remain calm and tackle him head-on. Larry turned and gave Caspian a dead stare.
