Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2616
A Confrontation
“Why? How would I know if I’m ruining anything?”
Delilah almost shouted when she heard Della’s reply.
Della spared Larry a look and shrugged her shoulders in resignation. It seemed like this was just not her day.
“Aren’t you going out to eat, Ms. Duff?”
“Oh, right. I’d better get going.” With that said, Della scrambled to leave the rest.
Now that it was just the three of them, Delilah’s suspicious gaze fell on Caspian, and then on Larry.
Judging from her look, it was impossible to convince her that there was really nothing going on between Larry and Della.
Delilah knew from the very beginning what kind of a woman Della was, so it went without saying that she worried for Larry.
“What’s the matter, Ms. Young?” Larry asked gently.
“It’s nothing. I’m just here to see if you’re okay. When are you coming home?”
This reminded Larry that he had not been home for a while.
He had not seen Joan for days.
“Ms. Young, Larry’s busy with work these few days, that’s why…”
“I’m not talking to you.” Delilah cried out toward Caspian, who quickly lowered his head and zipped his mouth.
“I promise I’ll go home today, okay?” Larry tried appeasing her.
“Alright. Enjoy your meal then. I’ll get going.” With that said, Delilah went out of the office.
The two men thought she would head home right after, but little they did know, Delilah already had her mind set on stamping this issue out.
