Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2701
Not Welcome Here
Matthew said that decisively and did not seem to leave any room for further negotiation.
Larry merely listened quietly at the side. Indeed, everything happened just as he expected.
“Mr. Matthew, would you reconsider your decision?” Larry asked, still harboring a glimmer of hope.
“What’s there to consider? There’s nothing for me to consider. My decision is final!” Matthew dismissed Larry’s question mercilessly with a wave of his hand.
Has our society become that realistic? Perhaps, that is the way the world works now!
Larry did not wish to continue the conversation anymore and turned around.
That had been his worry all along. He just did not expect that it would happen so soon!
Larry was drained of energy after the trip and he suddenly thought of quitting. He was simply too exhausted but he could not bear to give it all up.
Norton Corporation was already facing a serious obstacle, hindering the company’s development. If Larry could not think of a solution fast enough, he knew that the company might go bankrupt!
The man sat on the sofa in his office and gazed at the ceiling in a daze with a glint of resentment in his eyes.
It had never occurred to him that such a fate would befall him!
“Larry, what else is there for you to consider?” Della asked in a threatening manner as she strode into Larry’s office.
“I can guarantee that your company will get back on track if you marry me,” Della said confidently.
Of course, Larry didn’t have a single doubt regarding what she said. However, he was not willing to give in to her and at the same time, let Joan down.
“Just go. I don’t want to see you,” Larry answered weakly.
His words infuriated Della. No longer able to control her anger, she yelled, “Larry, do you really want to cause the downfall of Norton Corporation?”
The woman just could not understand why the man had turned her down time and again. What could be more important than the survival of his company?
Love? As compared to self-interest and the reality of life, is love, that is just an illusion, really more important?
