Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1828

What the hell? You're such a scoundrel, Larry Norton! You've taken advantage of me, yet you're now

trying to shirk responsibility! I really can't fathom why on earth Joan likes him!

“Dustin, you should take a shower and leave.” The lid on her emotions finally sprang open, and Joan

burst into laughter.

Ever since Larry and Dustin shared the same bed, their relationship became significantly ambiguous

yet seemingly much better than before.

“Hey, Dustin, you seem to be rather close with Larry Norton recently.” Jory studied the man before

him suspiciously.

He was rather bewildered at their amicable relationship at present since it was Dustin who asked

him to acquire Norton Corporation's branch companies to make life difficult for Larry back then.

"Of course. Why wouldn't we be close when we've even slept together?” Dustin replied placidly.

In the next moment, water spurted out of Jory, who was having a drink.

"What? You slept with Larry Norton?” He gaped at Dustin incredulously.

Oh God, this is shocking news! He has actually slept with someone else, and it was a man! Most

importantly, that man is his love rival to boot! Such mind-blowing news almost had Jory falling off

the sofa.

"Ah, don't get so worked up! Nothing happened between the two of us. We merely slept.” Dustin

hastily waved a dismissive hand at him.

Out of the blue, Jory hooted with laughter.

What has on earth happened? When did he have such kinky predilections?

"Alright, that's enough, Jory. Stop laughing. Let me tell you, I only told you that because I truly

regard you as a friend. Don't repeat it to anyone else, okay?" Dustin asserted sternly.

At that, Jory's chortles abruptly stopped short.

I, Jory Synder, never do anything that ruins someone else's reputation! Furthermore, he’s my buddy!

"Okay, I got it. But I think even if I keep it a secret, someone has already known about it!" Jory

deliberately drawled as he flashed a smile at the door.

“Haha... Dustin, you've actually slept with Larry, your love rival! This is a ludicrous joke! Oh gosh!”

Nancy suddenly appeared in the office.

Dustin glanced over his shoulder at her, looking extremely awkward.

“Hey, that's on you! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have ended up in bed together!” Dustin

groused.

“Ah, that's unconscionable of you, Dustin! If it weren't for you, the two of you wouldn't have had so

much fun...” Nancy didn't give him any quarter.

Indeed, it was because she drank too much with Caspian that day while dragging Larry and Dustin

along for the ride that resulted in the scene of them sleeping in the same bed. However, after that

incident, Dustin and Larry seemed to have regarded each other as friends.

"Okay, that's enough. Stop talking about it! I'm leaving!” Dustin embarrassingly made himself scarce,

slamming the door behind him.

Thus, it was only Jory and Nancy in the office, being all lovey-dovey.

"Oh yes, Jory, I'm thinking about bringing you to meet my father tomorrow.” Nancy hooked her

arms around Jory's neck.

Upon hearing that, Jory hesitated for a moment. It wasn't that he didn’t want to meet Simon, but he

wasn't certain whether he would accept him. After all, he was partly the reason for Nancy's shift of

affections back then.

“What's the matter? Do you not want to do so?” Nancy eyed the man in front of her dubiously.

She had thought that her relationship with him was already at the stage where they could discuss

marriage, and she didn't want to drag things out. Thus, she couldn't understand why he hesitated

when she proposed bringing him to meet her father.

Could it be that he doesn't want to marry me? In a flash, her gaze dimmed.

“Jory Synder, you never thought about marrying me, yes?” Nancy pushed at him.

"Hey, what are you saying, Nancy? How could I possibly not want to marry you? I love you! But I'm

not sure whether your father will accept me.” Jory ducked his head.

In truth, he had really fallen in love with her. It was for that reason that he resolutely abandoned

some of his plans and acted on his father's advice, returning all the branch offices of Norton

Corporation he had acquired when she told him that Larry and Joan were her best friends. Actually,

he didn't have to return them, but he didn't want her to be caught in a difficult position.
