Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2368

What the hell is this woman thinking? Caspian’s heart sank slightly and he announced, “I’ll get going now.”

Then, he got to his feet to leave.

“Hey, where are you going?” Jessica blurted out.

What the hell? Why does he want to leave as soon as I got here?

“I have work to do.” With a nod, he excused himself.

“Hey, take her away while you’re at it,” Larry called out.

Caspian looked over his shoulder at Larry, then at Jessica, hesitating slightly. Jessica pursed her lips in embarrassment and countered, “Alright, I’ll leave on my own.”

Without waiting for a response, she strode out of the office.

Looking in the direction she left, Caspian cursed under his breath before moving to catch up with her.

He grabbed her arm in a bone-crushing grip and growled, “Jessica, tell me now. What exactly are you trying to do?”

What now? Jessica swiveled around to study the man, slightly intrigued.

“I’m not planning anything. Now let go! You’re hurting me!” she snapped while struggling to break free from his grip.

Then why was she acting so intimate with Larry? Why does she miss him so much?

“Do you still have feelings for Larry?” Caspian asked out of the blue.

What kind of question is that? I see him as a brother. Am I not allowed to care for him?

“Yes. He’s like a brother to me. Not to mention, he’s helped me so much. Is it wrong to care for him?” she yelled angrily.

That’s it? Is it really that simple though? Caspian scrutinized the woman in front of him and scoffed.

“You’re probably happy that Larry and Joan have divorced, right? Well, now’s your chance. You can pursue him to your heart’s content now that he’s single again.”

What the f**k? Is this man daft or something? You’re the one I like, dumba**! Not Larry! It’s been so long and he still can’t tell?

“Caspian, let me go. I don’t feel like talking to you now,” Jessica uttered icily.

“Then what do you feel like doing? Buying Larry a gift? Bringing him lunch?” Caspian said bitterly. This jerk! I can’t believe he suspects that there’s something going on between Larry and me!

“Mm. Wanna grab a meal together?”

“Sure. You come over then!” Jessica directly ended the call and went back to wallowing in her misery.

Some things required a third party to act as the mediator. Otherwise, the relationship between Caspian and Jessica would only continue going downhill.

Noticing the darkening sky, Larry glanced at his watch. Then, he picked up his coat and left his office.

“That’s enough. Hurry up and eat your food!” Larry commanded.

Why is he always so fierce? Jessica shot him a dirty look but didn’t refute, pushing around her food as she took small bites.

“When are you two going to make up?” he asked.

Jessica’s hands paused in their action, and she zoned out slightly. Is there still a chance between Caspian and me? Sighing softly, she answered, “I don’t know.”

The atmosphere turned a little awkward as silence blanketed them.

In the end, Larry broke the silence. “One is too afraid to confess, and the other is too afraid to accept it. Are you two going to continue being like this?”

Well, what else can we do? Ugh. Now is not the time to discuss my disastrous love life! She stabbed her fork into a piece of meat and stuffed it inside her mouth.
