A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 1747

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1747

Larry placed the sandwiches in front of Nancy and asked, “I thought I asked you to bring Caspian along for breakfast. What happened? Is he still asleep?”

“He is not in a good mood recently and is resting at home,” Nancy lied. The truth was that she intentionally kept it from Caspian when Joan texted her. Regardless, she felt guilty for lying about it.

“Hmm… Indeed. The company must’ve been busy recently. Let him rest then. I hope he can consider returning to help me out when he’s available. Furthermore, the situation at my company has stabilized.”

Nancy’s eyes widened. “Really? There are improvements? That’s great news! Congrats, Larry. All your efforts were worthwhile. Let’s get together again when this ends. My treat. I need to make a move now to prepare for my plans later.”

She spoke speedily while Larry and Joan exchanged glances. Joan wanted to speak but was stopped by Larry.

Nancy gave them a bright smile and left in a hurry. As Joan watched Nancy leave, she asked Larry, “Why did you stop me from asking her to stay?”

Larry narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, “I thought you said that a woman knows another woman the best. It’s already so obvious. Do you really need me to tell it straight to you?”

Joan hesitated for quite some time and finally said, “A-Actually… I am not certain and don’t wish to think that way.”

“She avoided all questions relating to Caspian, averted her gaze, and stuttered.” Larry summarized.

“It seems like there’s really a problem!” Larry and Joan exclaimed in unison, pursed their lips, and nodded at the same time.
