Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2244
Larry shook his head and sighed. What was wrong with me back then? Did I lose all my brain cells at that time? Why did I hire him?
“What I was trying to say was—is there anything urgent for you to rush to my office?” Larry queried.
Oh. He’s talking about that. Man, that scared me.
With a relieved sigh, the assistant then swiftly schooled his features.
“The largest foreign manufacturer that’s cooperating with us said that they’ll be coming here next week. I wanted to inform you about it so that you can make arrangements for it,” the assistant uttered.
Why is he coming here? For a vacation? Or is he here to check out the company. For a brief moment, Larry was lost in his thoughts.
“Yes, I have to make preparations for it. You can leave now.” Larry waved dismissively.
What does that mean? Is he asking me to continue working, or is he asking me to leave Norton Corporation? The assistant shuddered as a lost look crawled onto his face.
“Mr. Norton, what do you mean by ‘leave’?” he quietly asked. If Mr. Norton really fires me because of this, I don’t even know what I can do.
That’s a weird question. Isn’t the word “leave” quite simple to understand?
Larry frowned at the other man.
“What kind of ‘leave’ would you like then?” he asked the assistant instead. After all, whatever conclusion his assistant reached had barely any impact on him.
“Okay! I’m going back to work now. Please call me when you need me.” With that said, the assistant darted out of the room as if he feared Larry would change his mind in the next second.
“What’s wrong? Why do you look unhappy? I can see it on your face,” Caspian, who was lying on the hospital bed, carefully asked Jessica.
What else could it be? I can’t believe Larry did that to me!
Jessica was pouting as she peeled an orange, looking displeased.
“Nothing. Here. Have an orange.” At that, she threw it at Caspian.
