Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2315
Indeed, Dustin was invited but he did not intend to join.
He looked at Caiden and replied, “I’m not interested.”
The reason was that he did not have a plus one. Joan was Larry’s wife, so she would certainly be his partner to the banquet. Besides Joan, he did not want to bring any other woman to such an occasion.
Hearing his reply, Caiden smiled wickedly. “I see. I should thank you then, for giving me the chance to bring Joan to the banquet as my partner.”
What did he mean by that? There’s no way Joan would agree to that. Dustin sized up the man in front of him, baffled.
Soon, it was time for Joan to clock off. As her colleagues were getting ready to go home, she sat in the break room, looking grim.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
“You don’t look too well, Joan.”
The colleagues around her came over to her when they realized she was looking sick.
“I’m okay. I just need to get some rest.” Joan smiled weakly.
She was not sick; she just did not want to go out at the moment when her colleagues were still here.
Gradually, all of them went home and Joan was the only one left. After looking at the time on her watch, she finally mustered up her courage and walked out.
She still needed to go back home and prepare dinner. Ms. Young has been busy with gardening recently and Lucius is about to get back home. I need to hurry up and go home to cook.
As she stepped out of the supermarket, Dustin came over and offered, “Joan, do you need a ride home?”
“No, thank you. I’m okay,” she declined right away and walked past him.
The banquet should have started already. Has Caiden left? As she continued on the path, she looked around and saw no one.
Okay. I can finally go back in peace.
