Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1975
A cold look flashed across Larry’s eyes as he continued to contemplate the situation.
“Hey, Joan, why are you back again?”
“Yeah, did you miss us?”
“Look at you. You became the supervisor as soon as you come back…”
Several women had gathered around Joan when she arrived at the supermarket, chatting happily about Joan’s return.
Although they were all women, compared to those in the city, women in the village were more enthusiastic and warmer, and there was no scheming and deception amongst themselves.
Perhaps it was because people in the village rarely went to the city. Thus, they did not know of such schemes and traps and only occasionally joked around with one another.
“Yeah, I’ve missed all of you,” replied Joan.
The manager broke into a satisfied smile as he watched the scene in front of him. In the past, he had already wanted to promote Joan since most store employees really supported and liked her. However, she had rejected him. Therefore, right then, things were going great. He was able to promote her, and work would be able to start normally again for everyone.
“Hey, remember the man from that day? Do you have his contact information?” asked a woman in a low voice as she looked at Joan anticipatingly.
Judging by the shyness in her expression, Joan realized that she must have fallen for Dustin.
“Come on, what are you doing? Why are you getting his contact number? He’s Joan’s friend,” said another older woman as she patted her shoulder lightly.
Instantly, the woman who had asked for Dustin’s contact dulled, her face full of disappointment.
“But Joan already has Larry,” she replied, pouting.
Right away, sadness flashed across Joan’s eyes.
Soon, he won’t belong to me anymore. I wonder what’s his decision about the divorce?
“You brat, come over here and start working!” the older woman said, walking over to grab the pouting lady.
