Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2329
She knew Larry and Caspian were burning the midnight oil in the office.
“Why are you here?” Caspian stared at her in bewilderment.
Jessica rolled her eyes and mocked, “Why can’t I be here? What kind of logic is that?” Next, she turned to Larry. “Come on, Larry, go home. No point racking your brain the whole night. It won’t change anything. It’s better to rest and recharge your mind for the next day. If not, how about buying me a meal?” Her lips lifted into a mischievous smile.
She’s nuts! Having meal when it is almost midnight? I thought women are obsessed about keeping slim? This woman is an exception! She isn’t afraid of putting on weight and despised by men? Caspian threw Jessica a silent but contemptuous look.
“Mr. Norton, what do you think? We can go to the pizza joint?” she asked excitedly.
Meanwhile, Larry was still chain-smoking. He was too engrossed in his own thoughts to hear a single word. His mind was focusing on locating the shareholder who had disappeared.
Since Larry did not respond, Jessica approached Caspian. “Hey, Caspian, you treat me a meal.”
“At this hour? I need to go home to rest now. It’s too late. Larry, I’ll see you tomorrow.” He moved forward slightly and planned to slip away.
“Hey, you can’t go home now. Come with me so you can pay for my pizza!” Jessica yanked him aside and pinned him on the sofa.
“No way! I’m not craving for pizza. I haven’t slept much lately. Please… let me go! I miss my bed so much.” Caspian pouted.
Jessica’s eyes lit up.
