Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1762
If this were someone else, Joan would have berated them without hesitation. But because it’s Nancy, Joan found herself at a loss for words.
Nancy stepped forward and held Joan’s arm. “That’s good. I want you to know that you’re still very much like a sister to me, and that would never change, no matter what happens in the future.”
Joan didn’t pull herself away from Nancy as she led them out of the restroom. She took comfort in the fact that they could remain as friends for now.
When Joan and Nancy left the table earlier, Larry began his interrogation on Caspian. “Have the two of you not made up?”
“We have. I had just given her flowers yesterday, and everything seemed fine,” Caspian looked downcast as he replied.
“From what she said earlier, are you facing any relationship issues?”
“What? No, no. You’re overthinking it, Boss.” Caspian tried to play it cool by brushing Larry off. Deep down, he knew Nancy had changed a lot over the past few days. He had suspected something himself, but he wasn’t keen to elaborate in front of Larry.
The onlookers would always see most of the game as compared to the players themselves. So even though Caspian didn’t say it, Larry could guess as much. “That better be the case, Caspian. But you should still pay more attention to your relationship. Identify the issues early on, and you’ll be able to tackle them better.”
Caspian waved him off as he awkwardly replied, “You’re exaggerating, Boss. It’s not as serious as you make it out to be.”
Just then, the ladies made their way back to the table. Nancy was all smiles when she pulled her chair out. “We’ve been gone for so long, and you still haven’t ordered any food?”
