Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1936

“Wow. What a coincidence!” A familiar voice rang out.

“Well, join us,” Nancy said aloud.

While Dustin made his way over, there was a twinkle of delight in his eyes when he glanced at Joan.

“Joan’s here too,” the man said.

“Yeah. I came to catch up with Nancy,” she replied.

Ring, ring, ring…

Nancy answered her phone promptly.

“What? Today? Alright, got it. I’ll be right over.” She appeared quite anxious when she hung up.

“I’ve got something to attend to. If you don’t mind, Dustin, keep Joan company on my behalf. And don’t you pick on her!” With that, Nancy picked up her bag and dashed for the exit.

The mood suddenly turned stifling.

A slightly self-conscious Dustin sat across Joan while she kept her head down and pretended to be focused on working her knife into her steak.

“Joan, what’s gotten into you today?” He finally broke the silence.

She paused, laid down her cutlery, and regarded the man earnestly.

“Why are you making moves on Norton Corporation?” she asked.

So, it’s about this.

Dustin smirked when he wiped at his own mouth.

“I could withdraw myself if my entrance into Norton Corporation makes you uncomfortable. I don’t wish to see you unhappy,” he said.

That made her feel a little discomfited.

Forget it. The affairs of men was not something she should interfere in. Joan sipped at her coffee.

“No. It’s just business, but I hope that you and Larry can work together.”

That’s how much she loves that man!

Dustin’s fingers wound tightly fists. His initial plan was to buy the shares from some existing shareholders and become Norton Corporation’s largest shareholder. Who would have expected a few of them had a change of heart and sold them to Larry instead!

Is he dependent on a woman now?
