Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1937

Gabriella snapped her fingers to get the attention of a server who conscientiously brought her a cup of coffee.

It seemed that she was a regular here. Joan remained guarded as she looked at the woman before her.

“Let me send you back. Larry won’t be showing up even if you stay the night here,” Gabriella said purposefully.

Joan sneered. Why would she be so kind as to send me home? And how did she know Larry won’t be coming?

“Joan Watts!” Gabriella howled.

Joan turned to regard the intimidating woman. “What?”
