Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2615
Jake could not take her impetration anymore, so he walked out of the cafe without another word.
Did he really fall for Faye? Sorrow overshadowed her face as Delilah watched him leave. She badly wanted him and Joan to patch things up, but judging from his reaction, there was little hope.
She sat in the cafe alone as she browsed through her contact list.
Soon, Jessica arrived.
“Anything, Ms. Young?” Jessica asked after she reached.
“I just feel like treating you to a cup of coffee.”
Really? Jessica surveyed her face, thinking there must be more to it.
Delilah was not someone who liked hanging out. She must be here to ask for help.
“Ms. Young, we’re no strangers, so there’s no need to beat around the bush. You may just be frank with me.” Jessica shot her an assuring smile.
“How’s Larry recently?”
“Larry? He’s good.” Jessica was bewildered that was Delilah’s first question.
“But I heard Della’s back?”
Jessica paused for a moment and quickly recollected herself.
“Yes, she’s back, but they’re just business partners.”
“What about in the future?” Delilah continued asking.
In the future? Even Jessica could not give her a definite answer. She shunned Delilah’s scrutinizing gaze and took up her cup, trying to cover up her nervousness.
“Are you not gonna be honest with me?” Delilah smacked the table and raised her voice.
Is this why Larry has not been home these days? Is he “working” with Della? Delilah’s heart was brimming with disgruntlement. Since Jessica could not give her an answer, she left soon after without the slightest idea of what Larry was facing over at Norton Corporation.
“Larry, want to grab a meal together?” Over at the company, Della asked Larry out.
