Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1815
Joan jumped up and down in excitement, celebrating her victory like a child. Dustin had originally been disappointed with his loss, but his mood lightened up the moment he saw Joan looking all electrified.
“Your team played decently, I guess. I can’t believe you just won a volleyball match.” Dustin patted her shoulder approvingly.
“That’s Joan Watts for you!” the woman exclaimed, tilting her chin proudly.
Dustin lifted her off the ground, happy and content to see her happy.
“What are you doing! Put me down!” Joan shrieked in panic.
Larry, who had just arrived at that moment, caught sight of them from afar.
“Let’s have a barbecue to celebrate,” Dustin suggested, ruffling her hair affectionately.
As soon as they turned, they bumped right into Larry.
“Larry! What are you doing you here?” Joan asked, startled.
“Why can’t I be here? Am I interrupting something between you guys?” Larry asked back coldly.
Is he angry? Joan looked at his face searchingly, trying to figure out why he was pissed.
“So glad you graced us with your presence, Mr. Norton. Is everything well taken care of at your company yet?” Dustin asked sarcastically.
Larry spared him a cursory glance before he turned to look back at Joan sternly.
The woman knew that look on his face far too well.
She quickly made her way over to him and wrapped her arms around his hand. “Why not we go out for a meal together?” she questioned.
Instead of replying to her question, Larry growled, “You’re leaving with me.” He grabbed her arm as he turned to leave.
Dustin quickly interjected, “Larry, she hasn’t eaten anything. She’s worn out.”
At that remark, Larry turned and looked at the other man, exuding a patronizing air.
