Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1708
Caspian gave him a thumbs up. “Yes! That’s right! If that’s the case, Alpire Group and S are definitely related to each other. Besides, Alpire Group seems to have been plotting to acquire our company for a long time. I don’t think they’re after us for the money.”
Larry mulled over it for a while before replying, “Exactly, and that was what I worried about the most, but, alas, it’s now confirmed to be true. Anyway, what does S want from us?”
Meanwhile, Nancy was ordering coffee in a café. Her ears immediately perked up the moment she heard two of the servers gossiping about Norton Corporation.
“I wonder what’s the relationship between this guy and Mr. Norton.”
What kind of relationship could they be referring to? Countless questions flashed through Nancy’s mind as she sipped on her coffee, straining her ears to listen more.
“Yeah, it does look suspicious. Look at him—he is even publicly defending Mr. Norton.”
As the servers continued to chatter and giggle at their phones, Nancy could not wait to share what she heard with Joan and rushed back to her seat.
They bumped into each other while on their way to Norton Corporation. Thinking that she had not formally apologized to Joan for locking her out previously, Nancy decided to invite Joan for a coffee together at a café nearby. After all, their previous conflict was not something easy to be resolved.
“Joan, just now I heard the servers gossiping about Larry’s relationship with another guy. I wonder what’s that about.” Nancy eyed the counter, signaling Joan to look at the servers.
