Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1994

She wouldn’t mind if Jory ended the call the moment he heard her voice. In fact, that was what she desperately hoped for.

When Jory heard how strange she sounded, he tried his best to suppress his emotions.

“Ms. Ward, when are you free? Let’s meet over a meal.” Jory got straight to the point.

As to what it was about, Gabriella would only find out once she met him.

“Wow, Mr. Synder, I’m surprised you are inviting me out for lunch. All this while, you never had time to do so given how busy you are. Unfortunately, I’m unable to make it as it’s inconvenient for me to move around now. I’m sorry,” Gabriella replied with a contemptuous tone.

She actually rejected me! Jory’s eyes darkened.

“Oh, is that so? And here I was thinking of working with you on a project I have. Since it’s not a good time, then let’s just forget about it.” With that, Jory ended the call.

Ever since Gabriella came back from overseas, she had become a lot more hardworking. Her decisive actions in the business world were no lesser than that of a man. Jory was puzzled as to what caused her to change so much in such a short time.

“Did you say project?” Gabriella’s eyes suddenly sparkled.

Since there’s a project involved, I’m definitely interested. As long as a profit can be made, I don’t care who my partner is. Gabriella’s lips widened into a smile.

“It’s too difficult to explain over the phone. Let meet someplace and have a meal together,” Gabriella suggested.

Since she had invited him, Jory would look petty if he held a grudge for how she treated him earlier.

“Sure.”

After exchanging pleasantries, both of them ended the call.

The stocks that Gabriella invested in had tanked while the projects she was working on hardly yielded any profit. Hence, she needed to solicit a few more projects to beef up her financial situation.

“Gabriella, who was that?” the man beside her asked.

“Oh, it’s just one of my business partners,” she plainly replied.

As she wasn’t feeling too good recently, the man stayed over often to take care of her. In fact, she didn’t resent his presence at all.
