Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2808
A Loyal Man
Jessica was shocked to the core with a pair of widened eyes and a blank face. Had Caspian not shown up in time and saved her, she might have been injured by Larry.
“When I got there, she’s disappeared.” Jessica felt defeated as a sense of helplessness filled her eyes.
Larry could not handle the news well. He stumbled onto the sofa, downcast.
At that moment, Jessica regretted telling Larry about it. She felt sorry for disappointing him after giving him a glimpse of hope.
“Don’t you worry, Larry, as long as Joan is still alive, I’ll find her at all cost!” Jessica declared confidently.
Knowing that Larry could not listen to a word she said, Caspian quickly gestured to Jessica, signaling her to leave the room. Subsequently, he sat beside Larry to console him.
Life is full of ups and downs. With glistening eyes, she cast a gaze at the two individuals in the office. Joan, are you still alive? Where are you right now?
Feeling desolate and bereft, she lifted her head and shut her eyes.
Resting his chin on his right hand, Larry spaced out while staring out of the window.
“Larry, I’m certain that Jessica will look for her,” Caspian reassured him. He knew very well that Larry became very sensitive each time he heard Joan’s name.
Larry bowed his head as tears welled up in his eyes.
“Oh dear, what’s going on? Everything in this room feels so depressing,” Della walked closer as she commented.
Caspian felt irritated at the sight of Della. He was aware of her longing for Larry and suspected her of orchestrating the incident by the beach.
In fact, both Larry and Caspian had the same hunch that Della was the mastermind behind all these, just that they did not have solid evidence to confront her.
“What are you doing here?” Caspian questioned.
She strode proudly to Caspian.
“I’m here for Larry. Does it have anything to do with you?” she replied with disdain.
She’s one shameless woman! Rage boiled in Caspian as he clenched his fists tightly and gritted his teeth.
On the contrary, Larry did not show any response. He had been making an effort to stay away from that woman ever since she called off the collaboration with Norton Corporation.
“What do you want from me?” he asked indifferently.
What else? I want your love.
Della walked up to him and hung her right arm on his shoulder. She stared at him coquettishly; her eyes were filled with lustful desires.
“Larry, let’s grab a meal together.” She exposed her collarbones on purpose.
Too bad, she never understood who Larry was, a man who was loyal only to one woman. He loved Joan, so he would not move on to any other person, regardless if she was dead or alive.
“Sorry, I’m not available. By the way, please show some respect for yourself and others, would you, Ms. Duff?” Larry pointed at her arm, causing her to feel embarrassed.
Initially, Caspian was taken aback by Della’s outrageous behavior. Soon, he felt relieved after witnessing how Larry responded to her.
“You may leave now, Ms. Duff, Larry is very busy,” Caspian remarked.
How dare this ugly man chase me away! Who does he think he is?
“Larry…”
“Get lost!” Larry interrupted her and finished off her sentence with a ruthless order, which shattered her heart into a million pieces.
How much lower should I stoop just to please him? He obviously doesn’t even care about me. Turning sideways, Della took a deep breath to calm herself.
Larry, you’re an insolent fool! Della pinched herself hard on the thigh in a bid to clear her mind.
