Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2633
Unwelcome Realizations
While she was not completely clueless about the situation, Joan remembered Larry telling her that
he had already solved the problem.
âIt's the reason he called me back,â Della added.
So that's what happened!
Joan was frozen on the sofa. A hint of guilt appeared in her eyes.
âIf you really love Larry, don't create more problems for him. He hasn't told you anything, but he's
actually exhausted.â
Every time Larry sees me, he's always in a happy mood. I've never seen him upset at all. I guess he
was hiding some of his feelings after all.
âIf you canât do that for him, please just leave him.â Della fired her last shot.
Della knew she could use logic to fight Joan for Larry's heart, but she could also play a few dirty
tricks if she happened to be in the right mood.
âThank you for letting me know about this,â Joan mumbled. She stared at the ceiling, apparently in
deep thought.
"Ok, that's all I have to say. I have some other things to attend to, so I'm leaving.â Della unlocked
her phone as she left Joan's office.
Joan was immersed in her own bubble of despair at that very moment. She had never expected Jake
to do something as extreme as boycotting Larry from future business collaborations
âJoan, are you okay?â Abigail asked cautiously as she entered the office.
Joan waved off her concern. âI'm ok.â
âThis is a contract with one of our clients. I need you to review it.â Abigail placed the document on
her desk and left.
I'm not in the mood to review documents.
Joan's whole head was filled with thoughts of Larry.
I wonder how heâs doing now. He must have felt awkward calling Della back, right? Did he make
some sort of deal with her? Joan picked up her phone and immediately dialed Larry's number.
"What's up?â
She heard a familiar yet tired tone through the receiver.
âI wanted to talk to you about something,â she said softly.
Larry was surprised. His gaze darkened as he set down his pen in a hurry.
âIs something wrong?" he asked.
âNothing,â she replied quickly.
Then why is she suddenly calling me during working hours? Larry stared at his phone suspiciously.
âLarry, can we just go for a walk?â Joan asked after a long pause.
"Of course.â
After a few more words, they hung up.
Joan flipped through her call log and paused when she saw Jake's phone number.
She didn't know whether it was appropriate or whether she still had the right to contact him.
Half an hour later, she finally plucked up the courage to call him.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service-"
I guess he changed his number a while back.
She hesitated for a moment longer before tiding her clothes and leaving the photography studio.
In the M Group office, countless employees were bustling about their tasks. They looked as if they
barely had the time to stop and take even a sip of water.
âMiss, I'm afraid I can't let you meet our president if you don't have an appointment,â the
receptionist addressed Joan apologetically.
âCould you let your president know that Joan Watts is here to see him?â Joan asked anxiously,
âI'm really sorry, Miss. I can't let you meet the president if you don't have an appointment,â the
receptionist repeated herself.
âThen, is there any way I could contact your president?â Joan asked.
âI'm sorry. We don't interfere with the president's private affairs. Though-" The receptionist
hesitated.
âThough what?â Joan latched onto her hesitation immediately.
