Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2658

He Has Gone On A Business Trip

But he realized that it was Joan who was sitting across from him.

Currently, Joan had her head on one of her arms, sleeping soundly at the table.

Seeing her lying quietly in front of him, Jake could not help but to lower his head and scrutinize her dainty face.

Actually, Joan is a rather beautiful woman herself, even prettier than Faye. But why did she not accept me to be her boyfriend? In fact, I’m just as outstanding as Larry. I’m good-looking, physically fit, powerful, and have a strong family background as well. Why does she choose to be with him instead of me? As he pondered away, he subconsciously extended his hand and wrapped his fingers around hers tightly.

“Uh…” Feeling his tight grip, Joan frowned in her sleep and slowly opened her eyes.

When he saw her about to wake up, he immediately retracted his hand and pretended as if nothing had happened.

“You’re awake,” he greeted with a smile.

She stared at him groggily for a moment and rubbed her eyes. “Where is this?”

We’re at a restaurant, of course.

He shook his head in amusement and took his coat hanging at the side, saying, “We should go. I’ll send you home.”

Wait, that doesn’t sound right. Why should I send her home?

He was stunned for a second before turning around and realizing that even Joan was weirded out by his statement, too.

Before he could say anything, she waved her hands hastily and said, “Uhm… It’s okay. I can go home on my own.”

“Okay then. Stay safe.” With that, he turned on his heel and left in a huff.

What happened to me? Why did I care about her all of a sudden? I’m supposed to hate her and take revenge on her!

As he stepped out of the restaurant, Joan watched his back and grinned at his strange behavior.

Ding, ding, ding…

Just then, her phone rang and vibrated on the table, taking her by surprise.

As soon as she picked up the call, Delilah’s voice boomed over the phone. “Joan, where on earth are you?”

Oh no, she’s angry!

Joan turned alert in an instant and replied softly, “Ms. Young, I was working overtime last night,” she answered softly.

“What for? Larry even went to the photography studio to find you, but apparently, you were not there.”
