Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2675
Mutual Benefits
Just how immature can Jessica be? Not wanting to stay and be snubbed, Della slowly stood up and left the office without a word.
“See, she’s gone,” Larry said while pointing at the door.
“Larry, what on earth are you thinking?” Jessica asked in annoyance.
“I’m not thinking about anything.”
His indifference toward her was the last straw for Jessica, and she left the office in a huff.
Just as she was walking down the corridor, she ran into Caspian, who immediately noticed the change in her mood.
“Hey, what’s wrong? Are you angry?” he asked while clutching her arm tightly.
“Yes. I’m angry.”
“Why?”
“It’s all because of Larry! Why else?” With that, Jessica flung Caspian’s hand off and made a beeline for the exit.
What’s wrong with Jessica? Did she quarrel with Larry? Caspian had so many questions and yet no answers. All he could do was scratch his head in confusion as he watched Jessica stomp away.
Della, on the other hand, had been walking around aimlessly since she left Norton Corporation.
She was counting on the walk to help clear her head, but the more she thought about Larry, the more helpless she felt. She knew she had a good chance of wooing him now that Joan was away, but alas, she had no idea what to do.
She was still lost in her thoughts when a voice suddenly rang out behind her. “Ms. Duff? What a coincidence.”
Della turned to acknowledge the person and politely smiled in return.
Jake walked up to her and leaned in close to whisper, “Shall we have coffee together?”
Her reply was quick but firm. “I’m sorry, but I’m busy. Now, if you’ll excuse me.”
“I can wait for you,” Jake replied with a shrug, a smug look on his face.
“No need.”
Just as Della was about to walk away from him, Jake suddenly changed the subject. “I think I can help you woo Larry.”
Della immediately stopped in her tracks.
