Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2317
“Pretty good. I like her a lot,” Caiden answered, putting his arm around her shoulder deliberately.
“Uh-huh. I think she’s good, too. After all, I am the one who has spent more time with her compared to you.” Larry took a sip of wine, as cool as a cucumber.
What is he trying to say? Joan looked at him frostily as a wave of sadness swept through her.
“Hey, Mr. Owens. I have something to ask you. May I have a word with you?” Jessica cut them off before they could continue the conversation about Joan and tried to pull Caiden away.
But Caiden did not care about Jessica at all and rejected her immediately. “What’s the matter? We can talk here.”
Ugh, why is this man so tactless? Can’t he see that there is something wrong between Joan and Larry? Or did he do that on purpose?
“It’d be better to talk elsewhere,” Jessica insisted.
“There’s no need for that. We can chat here. If not, you can ask Larry instead. He is the all-knowing boss of Norton Corporation; I believe he can help you with anything you have in mind. Besides, how could I leave my lovely partner here and walk away with you?” Caiden smiled smugly and stroked Joan’s hair.
As soon as she felt his hand on her, she ducked her head swiftly and kept a distance away from him.
Caiden merely smiled in response and continued to provoke Larry. “Why, Mr. Norton? Are you not happy with your partner? I see you keep staring at my partner.”
That son of a b*tch! He did that on purpose! Rage boiled in Jessica as she clenched her fists.
She understood that as a man, Larry could not do anything to Caiden at the moment. But she was different; she could do many things that a man could not do.
All of sudden, she ran to Caiden and threw herself on him, momentarily staggering him.
“Hey! What are you doing? Get away from me! This is inappropriate. Other people might see us.” Caiden darted a glance nervously and tried to push her away from him.
Yes! This is exactly what I want. I want him to panic and let him have a taste of my power.
