Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2508
“What’s bothering you? Why don’t you patch things up with Joan if you’re serious about her? Please tell me you’re not trying to be romantically involved with all of them at once!” In order to guide him to make the right choice, Jessica tried provoking him.
He found her words reasonable, yet he had yet to figure out the proper way to deal with Della and Gabriella.
“Although Joan is no match for Della in terms of looks and capabilities, you can’t lie to yourself because Joan is the only one you care about. If that’s the case, why don’t you be frank with her? Meanwhile, it’s a piece of cake to get rid of Gabriella. Just turn her down without holding back. You know what? All of these are nothing more than trivial issues, yet you have turned it into a big deal because you won’t stop overthinking!”
Larry begged to differ because the world would be a better place if they were as simple-minded as she was.
“You need to stop blurting out such nonsense because you’re not even aware of the actual situation.” Caspian nudged her and told her to keep her mouth shut.
“I’m pretty sure both of you are going to consider my idea naïve again. Is that really the case? Why isn’t it the other way round? Chances are you guys have been thinking too much!”
Perhaps Jessica was right. Perhaps things might end up in a different way should he hold his ground. He just had to prepare himself for the potential consequences of his decisions and actions.
Once Larry made up his mind, he said, “Jessica, let’s head out for a meal! Consider it a treat from me!”
Jessica turned around and stared at Larry with a frown.
“What? Are you trying to tell me you’re not up for a free meal? If that’s the case, I’ll head out without you.” He walked out of his office after he enunciated his reply.
Jessica yelled and went after him, “Hold on, Larry! I’m coming!”
Stuffing the pizza into her mouth, she said, “Larry, you’re such a reliable man! I can’t believe you have brought me to a pizza joint just because I’m craving it!”
Halfway through their meal, Larry asked, “How’s everything going these days? Do you need any help?”
“Everything’s fine, but if you have some extra income at your disposal, feel free to invest in my business. Well, it’s not like I’m trying to force you into submission or something.”
Larry was glad Jessica had made up her mind to start up a bookstore of her own. He wouldn’t mind topping up his investment after investing a fortune in the initial phase.
“Have you made up your mind? How’s everything going?”
She replied with a determined look, “Yes! I’ll try my best to be the largest bookstore chain in the country!”
