Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2246
Seriously? I can’t believe they actually came up with a rumor like this.
“No. There were some things I had to deal with the past few days, so I couldn’t come to work. What do you mean I’m pregnant? They’re just rumors,” Joan hurriedly denied.
“Oh? You’re here.”
Somehow, Joan felt a sense of nostalgia when she heard Dustin’s voice.
“I’m sorry. I had many things to deal with the past few days, so I couldn’t come to work,” Joan apologized as she hung her head.
“Hey, it’s fine. He didn’t even say anything about it. In fact, he kept this job for you,” one of them suddenly said.
“That’s right. Joan, our Mr. Silverman had been waiting for you to come back to work,” another voiced.
“What do you mean your Mr. Silverman? He’s clearly ours!”
“Of course he’s not. He’s ours—”
The two women began fighting as though no one else was around them.
However, both Joan and Dustin were used to their antics. In fact, all staff members of the supermarket were used to it.
Dustin’s arrival was often the topic of the few women’s conversations. He was also the reason they remained working at the supermarket.
At the way they were arguing until their faces were red, Joan smiled.
“Dustin, I’d say you should get a girlfriend soon. Otherwise, I’m sure they’d get into a real fight one day. When that happens, it’ll be a workplace accident, and you’d have to compensate them,” Joan teased.
Is that so? But the woman I love doesn’t love me, Dustin thought as disappointment flickered in his eyes.
“I probably won’t get married,” he quietly said with half-lidded eyes.
That was sudden. Why wouldn’t he get married? With curious yet worried eyes, Joan asked, “What’s the matter? Did something happen?”
