Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1670

At that, Dustin’s expression turned solemn as well. “Come, let’s talk in my office.”

However, Joan couldn’t wait anymore. Following him closely, she asked in a voice colored with urgency, “Did Larry ever come and look for you a few days ago? Did he say anything to you?”

Hearing that, Dustin glanced over his shoulder at her. “Why do you ask? And what makes you think that he’d definitely come and seek me out?”

“Because the meeting at the hospital that day was definitely not the last time you two saw each other. Considering his temperament, he’ll certainly seek you out to get to the bottom of things.” Then, Joan continued, “I haven’t seen him for many days now, so I need to know where he is!”

“I’m sorry, but I have no idea on his whereabout,” Dustin replied unhurriedly.

All at once, Joan again reached out and grabbed the hem of his shirt. “I don’t need you to tell me where he is. I only want to know whether he came and sought you out!”

Stopping shortly, Dustin whirled around. His movement was so sudden that Joan almost smacked into him in her distracted state. Even then, she almost fell to the ground due to inertia. Unexpectedly, Dustin reached out and wrapped an arm around her waist.

As the warmth of his palm seeped through her quality clothes to reach her waist, it burned like a brand and scorched her.

This time, Joan reacted swiftly. She still had her wits and she knew that she should keep some boundaries between them. Her hands shot out without even thinking about it, and she pushed his shoulders to immediately put a distance of at least one meter between them.
