Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2130
Larry nodded brusquely at her. “You’re early.”
“I just arrived as well,” she claimed, then added, “I ordered spaghetti for you. I hope that’s fine with you? You can order something else if you want.”
She had already found out everything there was to know about him.
Larry liked to eat spaghetti but rarely ate steak. Jessica already knew all of his preferences well before coming to this restaurant.
Larry raised his head to look at her, his eyes gleaming with an unreadable expression. “That’s very thoughtful of you.”
How could I not be? You’re the man I’ve set my sights on, after all.
“Ms. Zimmer, I think you should know why I called you out and what I’m here to talk about, so I won’t beat around the bush. Your father and I used to work together, and for a very long time, if I might add. But for some reason, he recently terminated our contract and has since vanished into thin air. I’d like to know why…” Larry started.
He had a steely look on his face, and his tone was stern, but to Jessica, he still looked as charming as ever. She stared blankly at him and gradually fell into a daze.
A heartbeat later, Larry waved his hand in front of her face. “Ms. Zimmer? Are you listening to me?”
“Huh? Oh, sorry. I spaced out for a while. You were saying something about my father terminating the contract with Norton Corporation? Well, I don’t know much about company matters. My father was always the one who handled everything. Besides, I’ve been studying abroad all these years. I’m sure you know this too, Mr. Norton.” Jessica blinked innocently.
Of course, he knew all of this, but what he needed to know right then was her father’s whereabouts.
“Do you know where your father is now? I need to speak with him. Even if we can’t continue working together, he should at least give me an explanation, don’t you agree?” Larry stated, reining in his temper as much as he could.
