Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2840
You can never get to the bottom of how the minds of women work. Della does seem innocent on the veneer, but underneath that facade is a guileful mind much slyer than anyone else’s. Only God knows if she’ll stab me in the back again.
“Larry, do you really have to be so stubborn?”
There was a hint of aggrievance in her voice, but Larry was completely unmoved. Regardless of how Della fawned and played the victim card, the man wouldn’t compromise.
Bang! Panting, Caspian butted in with an exceedingly unnerved and wrought up spirit. “Larry, we’re in trouble!”
This jackass never learns! He’s been following me for so many years, yet he’s still so impetuous. Just when Larry was about to admonish him, Caspian added, “Gabriella is here.”
The former was immediately dumbstruck.
What is that skunk doing round here? Hasn’t she left the country for treatment overseas? Damn it. Is she looking for trouble here?
“Let me in! I’m here to see Lars.” Gabriella couldn’t stop badgering at the lobby and was making an awful scene.
“I’m sorry, Miss. You can’t enter without an appointment.” The receptionist was very conscientious and followed Larry’s instructions with no exception.
“Do you know who I am? I’m Gabriella! Just tell Larry Gabriella is here,” the woman shouted at the top of her lungs with an icy air wafting from her as she flung the receptionist’s arm off her and straightened her clothes.
If there’s no appointment made beforehand, she’s not allowed to enter, be it Gabriella or Aubriella. The receptionist stood in front of her, blocking her way. She then grabbed the receiver of the landline to make a call.
“Let her in.” Out of the blue, Larry appeared before them.
The receptionist retreated immediately while Gabriella shot daggers at her. A barbarous aura emanated from her.
“It’s not her fault. I gave her those instructions,” Larry loosened his tie a little as he said to Gabriella.
