Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2840
You can never get to the bottom of how the minds of women work. Della does seem innocent on the veneer, but underneath that facade is a guileful mind much slyer than anyone else’s. Only God knows if she’ll stab me in the back again.
“Larry, do you really have to be so stubborn?”
There was a hint of aggrievance in her voice, but Larry was completely unmoved. Regardless of how Della fawned and played the victim card, the man wouldn’t compromise.
Bang! Panting, Caspian butted in with an exceedingly unnerved and wrought up spirit. “Larry, we’re in trouble!”
This jackass never learns! He’s been following me for so many years, yet he’s still so impetuous. Just when Larry was about to admonish him, Caspian added, “Gabriella is here.”
The former was immediately dumbstruck.
What is that skunk doing round here? Hasn’t she left the country for treatment overseas? Damn it. Is she looking for trouble here?
“Let me in! I’m here to see Lars.” Gabriella couldn’t stop badgering at the lobby and was making an awful scene.
“I’m sorry, Miss. You can’t enter without an appointment.” The receptionist was very conscientious and followed Larry’s instructions with no exception.
“Do you know who I am? I’m Gabriella! Just tell Larry Gabriella is here,” the woman shouted at the top of her lungs with an icy air wafting from her as she flung the receptionist’s arm off her and straightened her clothes.
If there’s no appointment made beforehand, she’s not allowed to enter, be it Gabriella or Aubriella. The receptionist stood in front of her, blocking her way. She then grabbed the receiver of the landline to make a call.
“Let her in.” Out of the blue, Larry appeared before them.
The receptionist retreated immediately while Gabriella shot daggers at her. A barbarous aura emanated from her.
“It’s not her fault. I gave her those instructions,” Larry loosened his tie a little as he said to Gabriella.
“Lars, it’s been so long. I missed you so much.” As soon as she finished her sentence, Gabriella darted toward Larry and wrapped her arm around his, beaming.
The people around were all taken aback at the sight of that.
It was nothing new to everyone in the company that Gabriella was an admirer of Larry, but the man wasn’t interested in her at all.
“Gabriella, please mind your manners.” Just as Larry finished his words, he flung her arm off forcefully.
Watching the heartless expression on the man’s face before her, Gabriella was a little disconsolate. Baring her teeth, she clenched onto the side of her shirt, obviously displeased. What’s wrong? We just met! Is he really not going to leave me some dignity? What a jerk! Needless to say, he’s all about Joan again!
Gabriella had been receiving treatment abroad, and her condition had also improved. Hence, when she received the news that Joan had gone missing, she rushed back immediately with great haste, trying to return to Larry’s side. Having said that, the only person Larry held dearly to was Joan. Therefore, it went without saying that the man wouldn’t accept her.
“Ms. Ward?” All of a sudden, Della came out and greeted her.
Why is she here? Gabriella looked at the woman standing across from her quizzically. The two of them had met each other before, but they were not close.
“Ms. Duff, are you here to discuss a business collaboration?” she asked deliberately.
Della chuckled with an indistinct provocative glint in her eyes, and she replied with faint sarcasm, “That’s right. But it’s a shame that Larry is turning his nose up at this small company of ours.”
What? Larry declined a collaboration with her? He must have gone mad! Countless people are contending among each other just to have an opportunity to collaborate with Della, and he’s giving it away?
Gabriella cast a bemused gaze at the two people; she couldn’t get her head around the situation.
“Larry, I shall get going. Let’s meet again some other day.” With that, Della left, and when she passed by Gabriella, she shot her a disdainful look.
For some reason, the other woman felt extremely uneasy in that instance.
“Is there anything you need?” Larry asked Gabriella.
