Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2569

What have I gotten myself into? Joan gave herself a knock on her head in an attempt to calm herself

down.

“How about changing our name and promoting the studio? Let's come up with a package and give

our clients a discount. We can even offer them photoshoot without advance payment.”

Joan had no experience in managing a company. However, as Larry's wife, she had stayed by his

side long enough to acquire some skills and ideas to run a business.

In the meeting room, she asked solemnly, “What do you think? Do you think it's going to work?”

"Yes, it is. But, Ms. Watts, won't we suffer heavy losses if we do it without advance payment?”

“No worries, I'll pump in some funds. Our current priority is to build the reputation of our studio.

Once the business gets on track, I'll give everyone a pay raise. In the coming weeks, I really need

your full cooperation,” she replied.

Joan was a gorgeous and easygoing boss. That was why the staffs were loyal and gave their all at

work.

"Okay, since Ms. Watts has said it, let's get on to work.” A staff jumped to his feet and declared with

both hands raised. Immediately, the rest followed suit. With their hands raised, they looked as if

they were making a vow, oozing confidence.

Great. This is my dream team.

“Let's have a dinner tonight!” Joan announced. In an instant, everyone in the meeting room was

buzzing with excitement.

Since Joan took over the photography studio, there was no longer a hierarchy among them.

Everyone became closer to one another, and the atmosphere at work was relaxing. All of them

welcomed such a change.

Meanwhile, Larry was in the living room, taking off his jacket while asking gently, “Ms. Young,

where's Joan?"

“She's not back yet,” Delilah answered from the kitchen.

The man glanced at his watch. A worried look crossed his face. It's getting late. Is she working

overtime?

Holding his phone, he asked, “Where are you?”

“I'm having a dinner outside,” Joan spoke loudly into the phone.

"What time does it end? I'll pick you up.”

"You don’t have to pick me up. Don’t worry, I can come home on my own.” She then ended the call.

Larry didn’t think too much, as he could understand her feelings of having taken over a new

photography studio. Afterward, the man headed to his bedroom.

“Ms. Young, I'm going to take a rest.” Apparently, he would not have dinner tonight.

"Ms. Watts, I'm really jealous of you,” a tipsy female staff blurted out.

Stunned, Joan gave her a smile without a word.

What's there to be jealous of? I'm going through bizarre things each day, yet I have to play my role

well at home. Sometimes, I felt strained, but I kept it to myself.

"How blessed are you to have a money tree like Mr. Norton. You can buy just whatever you want

without glancing at the price tag,” she babbled on.

"All my expenses are my hard-earned money,” Joan clarified.

“What? Why don't you ask Mr. Norton for money? He's filthy rich, and you're his girlfriend. He

should provide for you.”

“I don't need that, because I'm able to fend for myself,” she replied while getting some food for

herself.

Some women wished their other half got everything ready for them, while the others strived to be

more self-reliant.

"But Ms. Watts, who do you love actually?”

The room fell pin-drop silent at her question. Slowly lifting her head, Joan narrowed her eyes at the

female staff, asking warily, “Who do you mean?”

The latter shook her head and added, “I heard that you've been with Dustin before.”

“I was only taking care of him,” Joan explained promptly.

The female staff burped. “Who are you trying to fool? If you don't love him, why did you even take

care of him at the hospital? Anyway, he isn't as wealthy as Mr. Norton.”
