Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2327

“Why? You pity her?” Dustin asked.

“Of course! We have worked together for so long. Many of them were here before we came. Now that you have fired one of them, how do you expect the others to feel?” Joan yelled.

A few employees huddled outside the manager’s office and whispered among themselves. Their eyes widened in disbelief.

“What’s going on? The manager and the supervisor are having an argument?”

“I’m not sure. Will they end up fighting with each other?”

“What are you talking about? Our manager is a gentleman. He won’t hit a woman. Stop your wild guess and get back to work!”

Minutes later, they reluctantly went back to their respective tasks.

Dustin was amused by Joan’s agitation.

She’s letting her emotions cloud her judgement. Again.

“Fine, let me tell you why. She came to my house late one night and threatened to kill herself if I refused to marry her. Instead of pressing charges, I let her off. Besides, I also spoke to the other employees. She wasn’t well-liked by her peers and she couldn’t blend in. Do you think I should let her continue to work here?” Dustin explained patiently.

So this is the reason! Joan knew she had barked at the wrong tree.

I have wronged him!

“I-I’m terribly sorry. I yelled at you without getting the facts. Please forgive me,” she apologized.

Dustin didn’t feel offended. He knew she was a kind-hearted and righteous person.

“It’s alright. Why don’t you buy me dinner tonight to make it up to me?” he leaned closer to her abruptly and teased.

Joan raised her head and chuckled in relief.

“Sure, no problem!” She patted the man’s shoulder hard and promised sportingly.

After some small talk, she went back to work.
