Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2841
What’s that supposed to mean? Does it mean I can’t come to see him if there’s nothing going on? Pouting, Gabriella was a little downhearted. She fiddled with her fingers as she replied, “Lars, I missed you so much.”
The man had long got tired of hearing such a response from her. Hence, he turned around and left right away. Hurriedly, Gabriella caught up to him and followed him into his office.
“Lars, I heard that Joan went, erm, missing?” Her gaze was fixated on the man before her as she posed the question carefully, afraid of arousing his sorrow.
Did she come back because of this matter? What has it got to do with her? Larry nodded once as he tapped his fingers on the keyboard without showing a change in his expression.
Looks like what I’ve heard when I was overseas was indeed true! Gabriella’s eyes glinted with secret glee. Joan, oh Joan, it’s hard to believe that even God isn’t willing to help you this time! She leaned against the sofa, tilted her head to one side, and looked at the ceiling. All at once, she felt relieved and relaxed.
“I need information about Gabriella. Also, check why she’s returning all of a sudden. I want info on all her activities abroad too,” in the office, Della ordered the assistant beside her in an icy tone.
“Sure!” The assistant walked out right away.
There goes Joan, and here comes Gabriella. What are the odds? It seems like I still have to work harder! Della held on to the wall next to her and coughed softly. It was probably owing to her overworking and the chilly weather recently that she caught a fever.
Less than thirty minutes later, the assistant returned with some documents. “Ms. Duff, here’s all the information about Gabriella.”
Well, she’s complicated and quite the diehard. Della heaved a sigh as she read through the documents.
“Lars, won’t you have dinner together with me? Please? I’ve come to find you as soon as I return; I haven’t even gone home yet,” Gabriella shook the man’s arm and pleaded kittenishly.
What an annoying woman! Larry closed his eyes and drew in a long breath, trying to rein in his emotions.
Looking at how impatient he looked, Gabriella was suddenly displeased. Is he still mad about what happened in the past? Well, it’s explicable. With all the awful deeds I’ve done, how is it possible for him to forgive me so easily?
“Enough, stop shaking me. Come, let’s go for dinner!” Larry brushed her arm off him immediately and strode out of the office. Since when did she become like this? The man’s figure looked rather helpless and lonely from the back as he walked.
In the restaurant, they sat at a table in the corner. The atmosphere was tranquil, and Larry lowered his head, nibbling the steak on his plate. Gabriella, on the other hand, couldn’t stop looking at the man sitting across from her with a fervent glow in her eyes.
I’ll just let her watch. She won’t get to do it for long anyway! Larry didn’t mind any of her behavior at all.
“Lars, have you thought about getting married again?” she asked softly. There was even a note of embarrassment in her tone.
Getting married? To? Larry shook his head.
Oh sh*t, can it be that he’s never going to get married again just because Joan has disappeared? No way. I must think of ways to make him change his mind!
“Lars, we only live once, so carpe diem! I know you’re saddened by Joan’s disappearance, but life goes on,” she urged anxiously.
Larry, however, looked like he didn’t hear anything. He continued munching on his food, totally nonchalant to what she said. Despite that, Gabriella ran her mouth like a car without a brake, showing no sign of stopping.
Unable to take her babbling any longer, Larry wiped his mouth and roared, “That’s enough!”
“I’ve finished eating. You enjoy your meal.” With that, he rose and made to leave.
“No!” Gabriella grabbed his arm instantly, reluctant to let him leave. Looking at her plate that was still full, she uttered softly, “I haven’t started eating yet.”
“It was you who insisted on having dinner together, but all you did was blather non-stop.” Larry was a little disgruntled. He was already cutting her much slack by agreeing to have dinner with her.
