Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2262
“It’s time to eat, Larry,” Delilah urged.
“I’m not eating,” he answered softly.
Delilah stared at the untouched food before her and sighed. Looks like this is all going to waste.
Meanwhile, at the supermarket, the staff were already in their assigned areas, waiting for the customers’ arrival. Joan was checking the products on the shelves with a solemn look on her face.
“Are you okay, Joan?” her colleague asked worriedly.
“Of course. Why wouldn’t I be?” she answered with a smile.
Huh? What’s going on? Her husband is having an affair, yet she’s acting as though nothing happened. Isn’t she moving on too quickly? Or maybe she’s already given up on him.
“You can tell me if you’re feeling distressed, Joan. We’ll all help you out. Well, actually, we’ve already come up with a plan. As long as we have your permission, we’ll carry it out right away,” her colleague said awkwardly.
“Tell me about it,” Joan responded as she read through the notebook in her hands.
“We’re planning to teach Larry a lesson,” the former answered.
Joan froze at her words but quickly recollected herself. “There’s no need for that. We have nothing to do with each other from now on, so don’t do anything reckless.”
What? Her colleague stared at her in confusion. He’s the one who betrayed her. He should be taught a lesson!
“Don’t be such a coward, Joan. You can’t let him off just like that.” The flustered colleague raised her volume.
“What are you doing? Get to work!” Dustin yelled a short distance away.
The woman quickly left at that.
Of course, Joan wasn’t being a coward; she just couldn’t be bothered with it anymore.
