A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2605

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2605

As expected, he treats me exactly like how he treats any of his clients. He is apparently drawing a line between us with his courtesy, humility, and flattery.

“Thanks for the best wishes,” Della forced a smile and replied.

Late at night, both Larry and Joan were in the living room. “What do you plan to do?” he turned to ask Joan who was seated beside him on the sofa.

She was staring into space and lost in her own thoughts.

At the moment, she was feeling dispirited like an inflated balloon.

She had lost her confidence all of a sudden as she was unable to foresee where she stood in the future. Apart from that, she could not assure that there would not be any changes to the team as well.

“If you plan to set up a new photography studio, I can invest in it,” Larry offered her.

The plan had crossed his mind long ago, yet Joan had rejected him right away when he brought up the topic.

She hoped she could sort things out and pursue her career with her own capabilities, and not just solely relying on Larry.

“No, thanks,” Joan turned him down again softly as she stood up and moved toward the window.

She has really changed! Gazing at Joan who was standing by the window, there were indecipherable complex emotions in his eyes.

Perhaps, I need to give her more time to ponder before she finally finds her direction!

“Why do both of you stay up till now? Is there anything?” Delilah asked them with great concern.

“Ms. Young,” Joan turned instinctively and greeted her.

“It’s getting late. Both of you’d better go to bed soon. Don’t forget that you need to wake up early tomorrow morning. Oh yeah, Joan, I almost forget to tell you that Dustin came and looked for you today.” She yawned and walked straight into her own room.

The moment Larry heard about Dustin’s name, a wave of fury surged within him.

“What did he want with you?” he frowned at once and asked in exasperation.

“I have no idea,” Joan replied.

At the peak of frustration due to the acquisition of the photography studio, she was emotionally exhausted and was unable to spare any second on other matters.

“Let’s go to bed.” Larry stood up and walked into the bedroom.

Joan entered the room after him and lay down silently beside him on the bed. Nevertheless, it was a sleepless night for her. As time elapsed, she continued to stay awake with her eyes widely open. Staring into the darkness outside the window, her gaze drifted off into deep contemplation.

The next morning, Larry woke up really early. He stretched his arms and turned to his side. To his surprise, he was alone on the bed. Where did she go? He looked around the room, yet there was no sign of her.
