Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2660

I Want To Take A Break

“Why didn’t you switch on the light?” Delilah asked, walking into the room.

Seeing that she was finally back home, Joan quickly stood up and welcomed her. “Oh, Ms. Young, you’re back.”

“What’s wrong? Something got you in a bad mood?” Delilah asked kindly.

“Ms. Young, I have something important to tell you.” She held her hand and brought her into her room.

“What is it? Why are you so secretive.”

Five minutes later, Delilah held Joan’s hands tightly and rambled, “What did you say? Are you sure you want to go overseas? Why do you want to go overseas? How about Larry? How about me? How about Lucius? Joan, tell me the truth. Did something happened?”

Joan smiled and rubbed her arm. “Ms. Young, relax. I just want to have a break and enjoy life for a while. You know I’ve been working overtime lately.”

Delilah heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing her answer. “So when will you be back?”

“I don’t know. Maybe a month later, or even a year. Haha.”

What does she mean by that? Is she trying to say that she wants to reside there permanently? Delilah sized her up, puzzled.

“Joan, is it because you don’t like this old lady anymore?” she probed.

What is she talking about? Joan immediately shook her head and wrapped her arm around Delilah’s arm. “Of course not, Ms. Young. You’re my life savior. How can I dislike you? I’m just tired and want to get some fresh air outside.”

Fine. I’ll just let her go then. She’s indeed exhausted from work.

With the thought in mind, Delilah stroked Joan’s hair gently and said, “Okay, you have my support.”

After getting Delilah’s approval, Joan felt a weight lifted off her chest.

Next, I’ll need to talk to Lucius.

The next day, Joan boarded the plane.

She did not inform Larry about her decision nor did she tell Nancy that she would not be in the city for a period of time.

For some people, Joan’s departure seemed abrupt, yet foreseeable.
