Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2527
“Joan, we’re having a gathering today.” A woman’s excited voice drifted over the phone.
“What gathering? I’m busy.” Joan frowned.
“I don’t care. You must join us tonight!” The line went dead immediately after.
What the heck? How often do they have gatherings? I really don’t understand how these girls think. Can their monthly salaries even cover their three meals?
“What’s wrong?” Delilah asked softly.
“There’s a gathering,” Joan replied feebly.
“You should go,” Delilah encouraged. However, Joan didn’t feel like going at all.
“Just go and don’t overthink it. They probably want to celebrate Dustin’s return tonight.”
Joan pressed her lips together. Alright, then.After putting down the tool in her hand, she went directly to her room.
Should I inform Larry? Joan immediately snatched up her phone from the table and called him.
“The girls are throwing a welcoming party for Dustin tonight,” she said cautiously.
“Go ahead,” Larry replied curtly.
He agreed, just like that? Did I hear it wrongly? Joan could hardly believe her ears.
Larry seemed to sense her disbelief because he explained, “As long as you’re not alone with Dustin.”
The sky gradually darkened. After getting ready, Joan notified Delilah before leaving the house.
“Don’t come back too late!” Delilah reminded from behind.
“Okay!” she promised.
Suddenly, Jake appeared out of nowhere and asked, “Where are you going?”
“W-What are you doing here?” Joan looked at him in surprise.
“I’m here to pick you up,” he answered as though it made sense.
For what? I don’t recall making any plans with him. Joan surveyed the man in front of her with a doubtful expression.
