Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2827
“Bye, Dad,” Della called out while heading out the door.
“Della!” Fred shouted after her, but his words seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as the woman was soon out of sight.
Thinking about his rebellious daughter made the elder man feel disconcerted.
“Mr. Duff, are you alright?” A housemaid darted to his side.
“My-my meds…” Fred stammered while pointing at a drawer.
Della was not aware of her father’s medical condition. Hence, she could not understand his anxiety.
Della soon arrived outside Larry’s office. She opened his office door as quietly as possible and tiptoed inside as to not disturb the man who was working inside. Larry was already aware of his surroundings, but he refused to acknowledge her presence.
Della tried her best to pass the time by scrolling on her phone. When all her patience was finally exhausted, she walked toward Larry and leaned on his desk.
“Get up,” he said, deadpan.
He still hates me? Doesn’t he miss me at all after I went away for such a long time? The woman continued to stare at Larry, and a glint of despondent flashed across her eyes.
To Larry, Della brought nothing but nuisance and irritation. Therefore, he was thankful to have peace of mind when she was completely out of his sight.
“Larry, I’m back,” Della said carefully.
So? If she expects a warm welcome from me, she can keep on dreaming. How I wish she would vanish from the surface of the earth for good!
“I’m busy,” Larry stated coldly. His eyes were glued to the files in front of him.
