Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2679
Ambush
Upon hearing that, Larry froze. Might he have done anything to Della in his drugged state? In an instant, Larry’s guard went up.
“Della, did I do anything inappropriate to you last night?” he asked in a hushed tone.
If something really did happen, how was he going to explain to Joan?
Della smiled at him coyly and stood up straight. “Don’t you remember what you did last night?”
It was then that Larry realized Della was wearing only a camisole and panties.
Panic began to set in when he saw that he was half-naked himself. With the both of them dressed so scantily, it could only mean one thing.
Larry was still in a daze when someone suddenly started knocking on the door.
He turned to Della with a questioning look. “Who could that be?”
“I have no idea,” she replied as she started to panic herself.
Outside the room, a man turned to the hotel staff and ordered him to open the door.
Thankfully, the staff had his principles and rejected him. “Sorry, sir. The room’s occupied.”
“I know it’s occupied. I’m here to give Mr. Norton his clothes!”
The crowd seemed to grow with every second, and soon, the staff had no choice but to give in to their request.
Once the door opened, a group of journalists immediately swarmed into the hotel room and crowded around the unsuspecting Larry and Della.
“Hello, Mr. Norton. What’s your relationship with Ms. Duff?”
“Mr. Norton, are you going to marry Ms. Duff?”
“Ms. Duff, when did your relationship with Mr. Norton begin?”
The journalists were relentless as they continued to fire their questions and snapped away.
The sudden turn of events had left Della dumbstruck. She had never expected herself to be caught in public while being so scantily clad. She was so embarrassed that all she wanted to do was to bury her head in the sand.
