Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1772
“What if you don’t?” the old shareholder pressed on.
Larry sneered.
I’m afraid this bunch of wily old foxes don’t really care about the company’s future.
“If I’m unable to produce the expected result, I will resign,” Larry declared confidently. He had rediscovered the bold confidence that he used to have.
Within the meeting room, the attendees exchanged glances with each other. Some of them looked shocked while others were gloating in glee.
“Alright, now that you have vowed to do so, we will then judge the matter three months later,” the old shareholder declared loudly to a few others behind him as he closed the document on the desk.
Three months was hardly enough time to deal with such a complex matter, but Larry couldn’t delay it any further. He needed to take action at once to prevent the matter from escalating.
“How was it? Did they make things difficult for you?” Joan squeezed his hand.
“Everything is fine, don’t worry. They are not that ruthless as now is not the time to remove me.” Larry stroked Joan’s hair lightly.

Her handphone suddenly rang.
When she checked to see who it was, she saw that it was Caspian. She hesitated for a moment but finally decided to answer.
“Joan, are you free today? I would like to treat you to a meal. It will only be the two of us.” Caspian was forthright in his question.
