Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2573
“Huh? Aren’t you going, Ms. Watts?” a staff asked disappointedly.
“I still have some pending work to complete, so I won’t be able to join you guys,” Joan answered softly.
“All of you must enjoy yourselves to the fullest! This is an order and also a task,” she added. Then, she left with a pile of documents.
The same evening, she had to meet an important client who had just returned from abroad. If the collaboration deal was confirmed, it would help bring the photography studio to the next level.
Soon, the sun set. Most staff had already left, except for Joan, who was still typing away on her laptop in the office.
Right then, her phone rang. As soon as she read the text message, she grabbed her jacket and headed out.
“You’re Joan Watts?” Abelyn asked while stirring her cup of coffee.
“Yes, I’m Joan, the owner of the photography studio. Nice to meet you.” She extended her right hand.
Unfortunately, Abelyn did not shake her hand.
Embarrassed, Joan withdrew her hand and gave her a wry smile.
“How’s the business at your studio?” the woman asked.
“So far so good,” Joan replied.
For some reason, Joan felt that the woman had a hidden agenda.
“I’d like to have my photo taken tomorrow,” the woman presented her request.
As expected, big clients don’t beat around the bush.
However, Joan did not know that the woman’s name was Abelyn Chipman; neither was she aware that Abelyn was Dustin’s best friend.
“If everything goes well, I’ll introduce you to more customers,” Abelyn looked her in the eyes and said with a serious face.
“Great! Rest assured that we won’t let you down.” Joan was resolute.
She had full confidence in the skills of her photographers at the studio.
After a brief chat, Abelyn found Joan to be an easy-going woman whereas Joan felt that Abelyn was a mysterious and unpredictable individual.
