Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1722
“It’s been a while, Larry.”
Larry tuned him out in his head. As he watched his lips moved, rage started plucking at his nerves.
He stepped forward with lightning speed, grabbed his collar and stared at the man with eyes that seemed like he was about to eat him up.
“Are you trying to mess with me now?” Larry snarled through clenched teeth. The urge to punch him was hard to keep under control.
On the other hand, that man did not feel intimidated. Instead, his expression was as calm as still water. He gazed down at Larry with an enormous grin splitting his face. “If I say yes, are you going to swing your fist at me?”
It turned out that the mysterious man who invited him was none other than Dustin. Despite the tense moment, he gave Larry a sarcastic reply with his composed face. Although it would seem like a joke between two friends in the eyes of others, his words were contemptuous irony.
Larry obviously didn’t take his words as a mere joke because their relationship was more than that. Larry’s wife, Joan treated Dustin as her life savior. She always felt that she owed him, despite Larry and Dustin being fierce rivals.
Soon, people began to gather around them. A buzz of chatter and gossip rose from the crowd. Yet neither of them cared about people’s stares. At that moment, there was a tense atmosphere around them.
Larry clenched his hands into tight fists. “I’m here to talk business. I have no time for your crap. Keep your trash-talk to yourself.”
When he turned and was about to leave, Dustin stopped him. “I can tell you why Alpire Group has decided to acquire Norton Corporation. Once you step out of that door, no one will ever tell you the reason as patiently as I do”
Larry’s heart skipped a beat when he heard about Alpire Group.
As expected, this meeting is not a pure coincidence. He’s got it all planned out. Wait… So he is the chairman of Alpire Group? This is impossible. Norton Corporation was founded later than Alpire Group. He was not even born yet.
