Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2298
“What else could I be thinking about? I’m naturally missing Joan,” Larry answered mildly.
At this time, he was no longer concealing his longing toward Joan in front of Jessica. Jessica, on the other hand, was an understanding person. She could comprehend his feelings for Joan, so it was natural that she would think of ways for him to fix his relationship with Joan.
“Call her if you miss her. How would she know if you don’t say anything?” she drawled.
“Hah! Please don’t mention that. It was all because of your lousy suggestion that I’ve phoned her multiple times, but she never once picked up. On top of that, she didn’t even return my calls,” Larry retorted with a sigh, his eyes brimming with mild chagrin.
Huh? That’s weird. After a couple has fought, the woman will usually compromise as long as the man takes the initiative to patch things up. What’s more, Joan has always loved Larry. Could it be that someone around her sabotaged things?
Jessica’s brows creased deeply as she plunged into contemplation.
“Ah, forget it. Don’t give me any more crappy ideas. Let’s just wait until Joan comes back,” Larry muttered.
Damn it, what did he just say? How was my idea crappy? That’s something every woman yearns for, okay? Argh! Never mind. He’ll never understand. He’s a man, after all! Turning her face away from him, Jessica ignored him and plopped down onto the sofa. She then picked up a magazine and started reading it solemnly.
“Oh, yes, how are things between you and Caspian?” Larry suddenly inquired as he whirled around.
“Hey, don’t run your mouth, Larry! There’s nothing between the two of us. He’s merely my assistant, so don’t get the wrong idea,” Jessica responded loudly.
Larry was amused. Oh, really? While she can fool Caspian, she can’t do the same to me! From the look in her eyes when she gazes at him, it’s glaringly obvious that she has feelings for him.
“Oh, I see. In that case, all right, then. I’ll just agree to the request,” Larry declared on purpose.
Hmm? What request? What did he mean by that? In a flash, Jessica straightened and stared seriously at the man a stone’s throw away, waiting for his clarification. Unexpectedly, Larry started tapping on his keyboard in the next moment.
“Well? Finish whatever you were saying earlier!” Jessica screeched as her temper flared.
