Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2088
“I’ve heard about you from Joan. Thank you for saving her.” Larry took Caiden’s hand in response.
The two men instantly felt the warmth and force from each other’s hands.
Heh. He’s a pretty strong one! Larry smirked.
“It’s no problem. It’s just something I should’ve done,” Caiden replied.
What a joke. She’s MY woman. Any man who’s ever helped her has my gratitude, but this is the first time I’ve ever heard someone say that it’s something he “should’ve done”.
Yup, he’s no regular guy.
Should I treat our handshake as a declaration of war?
“Oh, uhh… I should let you know that I just came back from abroad not too long ago. There are lots of things I haven’t familiarized myself with, so I’ll be asking for Joan’s help quite a bit.” Caiden spoke confidently as though it was only natural that Joan helped him out.
Larry froze briefly before returning to his usual composed self. He would only appear too petty if he were to look any different.
“That’s fine. I believe she’ll help you out as a way of returning the favor,” replied Larry.
Of course she’ll help me—as long as you don’t get in my way, thought Caiden.
“Caiden! Come on in!” A woman called out from not far off.
“Oh, your girlfriend’s calling for you.” Larry pointed to a car nearby.
Having looked her up previously, he knew that the woman was Noelle Ford. She had secretly liked Caiden for many years.
“She’s not my girlfriend,” Caiden responded immediately.
Larry smirked with a hint of disdain in his eyes. It honestly didn’t matter to him whether or not Noelle was Caiden’s girlfriend.
“Come on, Caiden! What are you waiting for?” Noelle continued to cry out.
Caiden turned to glare at her impatiently.
