A Touch of Sweetness (Finnick Norton and Vivian William) novel Chapter 2873

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2873

“Jessica, how could you be so free? Are you sure you have settled everything in the bookstore?” Larry asked gently as he patted her on the head.

He sounds just like his usual self! Looks like his mood is not affected. Jessica straightened up at once and heaved a sigh of relief.

To play safe, Larry decided not to share the updated news from Nancy with them right away since Jake had just stepped out. What if the cunning fellow turned back all of a sudden and overheard our conversation? In order to safeguard the success of our plan, I must continue to pretend that I have no idea about the updated news from Nancy.

Staring blankly at the door of his office, Larry’s creased forehead implied that something was bothering him at the moment.

Jessica was observing Larry’s countenance silently and could sense something amiss. She remained silent and waited for him to explain to her. To her disappointment, he remained silent as well. She was becoming restless due to the sudden pin-drop silence that ensued in the room.

“Let’s get together for a meal tonight,” Larry finally broke the silence when she was about to open her mouth.

On the instant, it struck her that Larry would pour out everything to them during the gathering. She nodded at him in acknowledgment and left Norton Corporation.

As dusk fell, both Caspian and Larry tidied their desk before they left for the restaurant to meet the others.

Since both Jory and Nancy were the ones who shared the news with him, Larry did not invite them to join their gathering this round. Moreover, he did not want to take the risk in case Jake smelled a rat, fearing that it would put both Jory and Nancy in deep water.

In a private room of a grand restaurant, Larry threw a glance at the door before he lowered his voice intentionally and said cautiously, “There is a piece of great news from Jory and Nancy this round. They managed to track something when they were overseas.”

“What kind of great news? ” Abelyn stood up and yelled excitedly.

“Hey, lower your volume and don’t interrupt. Let Larry finish his words!” Dustin snapped at her.

Both Dustin and Larry had clicked well lately by putting aside their jealousy toward each other. In fact, they were just like buddies at times. If Joan did not lose her memories, she would surely be delighted at how well both of them were getting along with each other at the moment.
