Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1681
Mister, I’m today. I’ll ask her out to a café later. After it’s done, I hope you won’t forget our agreement. May our collaboration succeed. Gabriella.
As he typed away with both hands, a line appeared on his phone screen at one: You may call me S.
Everything was in his control and was going to unfold just the way he wanted it. The corner of Jory’s lips twitched up in an inconspicuous smile.
As the night fell, an attractive figure was sitting at a desk. Rubbing her temples, she picked the pen up and continued editing her design draft. For some inexplicable reason, something about this design felt off, yet she couldn’t quite put her finger on it. Lifting her head, Joan glanced at the clock on the wall.
It was already midnight. The woman breathed a sigh. Because of Larry’s disappearance, she had put her job aside for quite a while. Holding the pen, Joan couldn’t find any hint of inspiration. Even the feel of the pen in her hand felt strange to her.
Later, Larry tiptoed into the room and placed a glass of milk on the desk. At the same time, Joan was staring blankly at the design draft, as if her soul had left her body.
“Hey! A penny for your thought?” He waved his hand in front of her eyes. Deliberately, the man plastered a scowl on his face and questioned, “Are you missing another man? Joan, how dare you!”
His voice broke her out of her reverie. She reached out to slap the back of Larry’s hand. “Yes, I miss my dad.” Looking at his unbelieving face, she replied patiently, “Okay, I’m working on my design.”
Larry took the paper from the desk and studied it for a few seconds. Pursing his lips, he commented, “You did a great job! The design is impressive. What else do you need to edit?”
