Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2632
Planting Doubts
Caiden turned and left the office at her hostile behavior.
Maybe I went overboard? Joan put down the pen in her hand and stared at Caiden’s back.
Oh well.
“Mr. Owens!” Abigail shouted as she ran toward Caiden.
Abigail was no longer intimidated by Caiden after his willing participation in last night’s game.
“Yes?” Caiden lifted his head and looked at Abigail. He tried to subdue the disappointment on his face.
“Did you get into a fight with Joan?” she asked bravely.
A few of her colleagues stared at her with their mouths wide open. They held their breaths in fearful anticipation of their boss’ reaction.
“No,” Caiden answered.
Abigail looked awkward.
“Mr. Owens, I may look young, but I’m an expert when it comes to relationships. I can help you if you need any relationship advice.”
Wow. She really has no filter. Caiden paused for a moment before leaving without a word.
“You silly girl! He’s our boss. Why are you sticking your nose into his private affairs?” her supervisor shouted.
“I’m just trying to help them out.”
“Well, they don’t need your help. They’re perfectly fine.”
Finally, Abigail realized how awkward the atmosphere had become. She returned to her desk in a huff and began typing furiously on the keyboard. She was pissed.
Meanwhile, Joan had been alternating between reviewing documents and photos on her computer. It was a busy day. Despite her busy schedule, she could not help but think of Caiden from time to time. She chalked it up to the regret she felt at her earlier hostility.
“Ms. Watts, someone’s here to see you,” one of the workers yelled from outside her office.
“Let her in!” Joan replied.
“Are you busy?” Della asked as she entered Joan’s office.
“Della? Why are you here?” Joan was surprised at her visit.
