A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2094

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2094

“Mom, is Dad really coming?” Lucius doubted.

For so long, he had been well aware that Larry often seemed tired when he returned home. It could be the workload weighing him down, so the boy did not want to take up his time.

“Don’t worry. Your father says he will, and he keeps his promises.” Joan patted Lucius on the shoulder.

But the boy would rather Larry sleep in…

Days passed, and soon the day for camping had arrived. Joan gave her instructions to the doctors and nurses in the hospital before she left the place feeling a little relieved. At the same time, Larry was anxiously reviewing documents in his office.

It was certainly a coincidence that, just when he was almost done with work, someone had to throw a monkey wrench into his plans.

“Mr. Norton, there’s a call for you.” His assistant quickly passed him the phone.

“Good day, Mr. Norton. It’s like this. We have decided to withdraw the partnership with your company…” The other party’s voice was quite firm, as though all countermeasures had been thought out.

Why the sudden withdrawal? A fit of anger rose within Larry. He did not understand it. What have I done wrong? Is there anything about the procedures that you aren’t satisfied with? I thought we’ve had an agreement! Why, of all times, just when the contract’s about to be signed, have you decided to back out?

“Mr. Lancaster, we’re about to sign the contract. It just doesn’t seem appropriate for you to tell me something like that. You’ve actively sought partnership with us, haven’t you? And we willingly agreed, because of your company’s credibility…” Larry dished out his discontent.

He had to admit, he certainly had high hopes for that foreign company in particular. It posed great potential, and he had wanted to work with an enterprise like that. So when the director of the company came to him about extending the partnership, he felt like he had hit the jackpot. Perhaps, in hindsight, he got hit on the head too hard.

“Mr. Norton, please don’t take it up with me. It’s our boss. All of a sudden, he gave me an order, telling me to call off the partnership with your company. I’m just following orders, sir. It’s not my decision to make,” said the other party.

“But, you’re welcome to come and talk it over with our boss. It’s still possible to turn this around. The boss seemed to be hesitating when he told me about it,” the director added.

Go abroad to talk it over? Again? Larry was not pleased at all. What about Lucius’ field trip? I’ve promised Joan I’ll go camping with them. But… this project… I can’t pass this up!
