Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2005

Knock… Knock… Knock…

For a long time, the assistant knocked on Larry’s door but didn’t get any response.

“There’s a meeting shortly, Mr. Norton. Do you want to reschedule?” the assistant asked carefully.

She had seen his reaction when he overheard the chatterings of his employees earlier on. She knew that Larry would be feeling dejected, so she came into his office to check on him.

“Reschedule it. Cancel all of today’s meetings,” Larry said in a low voice as he rested his head on the table.

At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked haggard. The assistant started to worry.

“Larry, are you alright?” the assistant asked tentatively.

She had never seen him so disheartened before. Even when Norton Corporation was being acquired some time ago, he was never this despondent. But now…

He must really love Joan, too bad… The assistant’s expression turned grim.

“Get me some flu medication.” Larry lifted his head up and said.

“Right away.” The assistant ran out of the office immediately.

“Lars!”

As soon as the assistant went out, the despicable woman came rushing in. Larry felt his head throbbing.

“Why are you here?” Larry asked coldly in a weak voice.

Why am I here? We’ll be getting married soon anyway, so we might as well lay some groundwork now. A scheming smile crept onto Gabriella’s lips.

“I’m here to check on you. You didn’t answer your phone when I called you, so I thought something must have happened to you,” Gabriella said as she slowly walked up to him and gave him her most charming smile.

But Larry was dreadfully turned off.

“I’m fine. You can leave now,” Larry replied straightforwardly.

Her absence was better than anything else.
