Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2629
Entanglements
“I can’t!” Joan interrupted.
She hated telling people about her personal life, especially when it came to her relationship with Larry.
“Then it’s time to chug!” Abigail pushed the bottle of beer toward her.
Joan took a deep breath before she drank the beer.
What’s wrong with her?
Suddenly, Caiden grabbed the bottle from her hands and finished it for her.
“Caiden!” she yelled at him while wiping her mouth.
“We were just joking, Mr. Owens. You don’t need to drink the whole thing.”
“Yea, it’s fine. Please stop drinking.”
A few of the staff glared at Abigail as they tried to stop Caiden.
But Caiden had already tossed the empty beer bottle into a trash can.
“Good one, Mr. Owens!” The supervisor piqued up and began clapping.
Joan watched Caiden anxiously.
Argh, they’re going to start spreading rumors about us again!
The game ended shortly after that. No one was in the mood to play anymore, and soon everyone left.
Joan was hunched over a drain in front of the nightclub, vomiting her guts out in agony.
“How are you feeling? Are you ok?” Caiden asked in worry.
“I’m fine; you should go home now. I’ll hail a cab soon.” She waved off his concern.
Caiden could not leave her behind while she was still retching.
“Let me take you to the hospital,” he offered.
His heart ached at her obvious discomfort.
