Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2236

It was a gloomy look on her face, and Caiden found himself feeling upset. Is Larry that important to her? That thought itself made his eyes dull.

“Why are you looking for me?” Joan asked as she raised her head to look at the person opposite her.

“Oh, it’s nothing, really. It’s just that it’s been some time since we’ve met, so I missed you,” he mumbled as he scratched the back of his head.

The truth was, every passing day without her by his side, he missed her. It was only that day he could not bear not seeing her anymore, and that was why he called to see her.

“If there isn’t anything, let’s not meet anymore. I have work,” Joan softly replied.

The job at the supermarket? That was where Caiden was stumped. He could not wrap his head around why she would work at an ordinary job in a small village supermarket. She’s clearly a talented woman. As long as she wants it, she can get a job a hundred times better than this one.

“Joan, would you like to be my assistant? I’m currently looking for an assistant,” Caiden suggested in a serious tone.

She probably won’t agree to it. it took me ages to get her to agree to meet me when I called her earlier. If she has to spend time with me all day, she’d probably go mad.

“No thanks. I’m not interested in becoming your assistant. My job at the supermarket is pretty nice. It’s not tiring nor hectic, and my friends are all there,” Joan rejected.

Naturally, she did not want to have too much contact with Caiden. If rumors about her spread again, Joan was sure she would not be able to stay in the village anymore.

“What are you afraid of? You and Larry are husband and wife. Don’t you have basic trust? Is it that odd to spend time with me? Moreover, it’s not like there’s anything between us,” Caiden blurted out.

He’s right, but it doesn’t mean I cannot care about everything. Moreover, there are too many things at stake here.
