Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2763

Confronting Lucinda

“I’m Joan Watts.”

Upon hearing that, the cell phone in Lucinda’s hand slipped to the floor.

“Are you sure you can manage alone?” At the side, Dustin stood up and ambled over to Joan.

“Don’t worry about me.” Joan waved a dismissive hand at him, so Dustin then left the room.

Meanwhile, Lucinda’s gaze darted around at the sight of Joan before her. She didn’t know what to say or do.

“Why, have you forgotten me so quickly?” As Joan said that, she sat down with a nonchalant expression on her face.

What exactly does she want from me? Lucinda rubbed her petite hands vigorously as apprehension seized her.

“Are you cold?”

“No.”

“Then, why are you rubbing your hands?” Joan stared at her while emanating an oppressive aura.

“It’s just a habit of mine.”

Hah! She’s obviously nervous and scared, yet she claimed that it’s merely a habit. What a hypocritical woman! Picking up a glass of wine from the table, Joan gulped it down in one go. Conversely, her expression appeared calm and unruffled.

“Why did you seek me out?” Lucinda queried softly as she turned and looked at her stonily.

Well, well… Don’t tell me she hasn’t the slightest idea why I came to seek her out? Shaking her head, Joan heaved a sigh like a person who had experienced too many trials and tribulations in life. “Do you really have no idea why I came to seek you out? It’s just the two of us here, so drop the act, okay?”

“I have no idea at all! I’m sorry, but I’ve still got something to handle, so please excuse me.” After saying that, Lucinda snagged her handbag beside her and hurried out of the room.

However, Dustin stopped her when she reached the door.

“Where are you going, Ms. Xenos?” he questioned contemptuously. In all honesty, he didn’t have a shred of good impression of her.
