Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2671

Altercation

Jessica didn’t know that this joke she made was very likely to come true.

“I’m busy. Just leave me be.” Larry absent-mindedly waved at Jessica and motioned for her to leave the office.

Seeing that Larry was in fact, busy, Jessica smirked and departed.

“Mr. Norton!”

An assistant had just barged in, drawing Larry’s ire. “Can’t you knock?” shouted Larry in annoyance.

The assistant looked sheepish but did not calm down. “I apologize, Mr. Norton. But this is urgent. Something has happened!”

“Well, out with it.”

“Three of our partners have terminated all contracts with us,” whispered the assistant. His tone did nothing to conceal the distress he felt.

What? Larry stood up very abruptly.

While he had anticipated something like this, he never expected it to happen this quickly.

“Any other anomalies?” asked Larry tersely.

“We’re still looking into it!”

The two then had a brief exchange. Soon after, Larry grabbed his coat and left the office.

F*ck you, Jake. You’ve really gone for the kill!

Larry fished out his phone from his pocket and made a call.

“Mr. Norton? To what do I owe the pleasure of your call?” came Jake’s cheery tone from the other end of the receiver.

“Let’s talk,” replied Larry brusquely.

“Sorry, I’m rather busy right now.”

“Then I’ll meet you at your company.”

Jake was about to hang up when he shouted, “No need for that!”

He took a few seconds to compose himself before adding, “We’ll meet at our old joint.” With that, Jake hung up.

The old place? That’s the café where we met.
