Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1726
Her long curly lashes fluttered, and her eyes slowly opened, still sleepy. She realized she was being carried into the house by Larry, so she struggled to be let down. However, Larry would have none of that but tightened his embrace instead.
“Why are you awake? You were sleeping so soundly at the door,” he teased.
It was amazing he still had the mood to joke, but that did not cheer Joan up. “I woke up when you sighed. Why are you sighing? Did the discussion not go well today?”
Larry had laid her down on the bed and was pulling a blanket over her. He paused when Joan posed the question. She held his right hand and looked him in the eyes, full of concern. “Please don’t hide anything from me.”
Larry sat by her side and held her hand tightly. “I… the meeting today was with Dustin.”
Joan sat up straight immediately and exclaimed in disbelief, “How is that possible? Dustin? Was it a chance meeting? I thought… I thought you said you were going to meet the chairman of Alpire Group. How did you end up meeting Dustin instead?”
Joan bombarded him with a load of questions as she could not believe it was Dustin. The last she met him was when she went to ask him about Larry. He had not contacted her since then too. Why did he approach Larry this time around?
