Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2843
“What’s your relationship with Gabriella?” Della exclaimed.
Larry sat on the couch, took a sip of tea, and answered nonchalantly, “It’s none of your business.”
“Explain yourself!”
Why should I? Is she going to view Gabriella as her competitor just because she likes me? What a ridiculous woman! There was not any competition at all, to begin with! Ultimately, Larry only cared for Joan.
Larry turned around and ignored her. No matter how she screamed at him, he just gave her the cold shoulder.
Della could not stand how cold he was toward her. She walked up, raised her hand, and was ready to slap him. However, Caspian stepped in and stopped her just in time.
“You’re now in the Norton Corporation, so please watch your behavior, Ms. Duff,” Caspian warned, “and please show Mr. Norton some respect. You can’t do anything to him as you wish.”
Della was taken aback by Caspian’s crude warning. This woman doesn’t seem to know her place. Larry has given her many chances in the past, yet she’s still as stubborn as a mule!
“You should leave now, Della. Gabriella and I are just friends. So are we.” Larry made it clear. “Please do not come and find me anymore. You wouldn’t want to disgrace your Dad, would you?” He said that on purpose.
Upon hearing that passive-aggressive remark, Della organized her thoughts and regained her composure. She took a sidelong glance at the office and left in embarrassment.
“Should we lodge a police report?” Caspian asked.
Larry had wanted to lodge a police report for some time now, but because of Samuel, he withheld his action as he did not want to burn bridges with Della’s family.
Even Caspian was aware that Della’s action lately had constituted harassment.
“What’s with that face?” Jessica asked as she walked into his office.
“What are you doing here?” Larry sat down and asked.
He’s still as cold as ever. I’ve not seen him for a couple of days now, yet he doesn’t miss me at all? Jessica walked over and leaned against him.
“I missed you.”
Jessica knew Larry would shove her aside — she was prepared for it. But before the man could react, Caspian raised his voice. “How dare you flirt with another man in front of me?”
He went up, pulled her away, and threw her on the couch.
Come on! I was just pulling your leg! Ugh. Jessica tidied up her disheveled appearance and shot daggers at Caspian.
Meanwhile, Larry continued to focus on his work and was not bothered by the drama around him. But deep in his heart, he did somewhat find the young couple adorable.
“What other man? It’s Larry, okay?” Jessica said in a gentle voice.
“No means no! Larry is a man, and you can never do this to him! What if you fall in love with him? It’s not impossible since he’s handsome and capable!” The more he spoke, the more inferior Caspian found himself by comparison.
Upon hearing that, Jessica walked toward him and wrapped her hands around her neck. She then kissed his cheek and said gently, “I’ll never fall in love with another man because you’re the love of my life!”
“That’s enough! Stop being all mushy in front of me!” Larry waved his hand in the air and said. Yet, the couple ignored him and continued ribbing each other.
