Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1938

Gabriella’s brows furrowed hard against the woman opposite her, and the corner of her lips curled as though she had her opposite number exactly where she wanted.

“I don’t believe that with us being so close and having known each other for so long, you couldn’t sense that I liked him?” Gabriella held nothing back.

Since the other woman was drunk anyway, she found no further need to continue masking her own motives.

“No really, Gabriella. You know what? I’ve always thought of you as my best friend. But you kidnapped me. Did you know how much that hurt? We’re best friends…” Joan lifted her own glass and emptied it.

Best friends? Was that why she poached my man?

Gabriella glared at Joan with one fist clenched tight inside of her other hand.

“Come on. Bottoms up!” she declared.

Very soon, Joan was slumped over the table.

“Joan! Joan!” Gabriella prodded at the unconscious woman with her foot.

But Joan was totally out of it.

She really thought I was making peace with her. The foolish woman!

Gabriella then pulled out her own cellphone.

“Get yourselves over here, pronto!” she bellowed into the phone before she hung up.

Joan, oh Joan. Don’t blame me for being heartless. I’m doing this today because you stole my man!

Gabriella’s demeanor had only gotten more chilling since.

“Ms. Ward!” A few men came bursting into the scene.

“Take her away and deal with her as you deem fit. And remember. Stay off Larry Norton’s radar.”

The men gazed at Gabriella and then regarded the unconscious woman. Each and everyone of them smiled slyly.

“Thank you, Ms. Ward!” And off they went with Joan.

This is payback, Joan!

Gabriella narrowed her malicious eyes as she watched the silhouettes of the men fade into the distance.

“Hello, Ms. Young. Is Joan home yet?” Larry’s voice was mired in anxiety and dread.

“No. Where did she go? I’ve tried calling too, but no one picked up.” Delilah asked in return.

Sh*t!
