    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1705


    Hurriedly, she made up an excuse and left the bar, leaving Jory there all by himself. He did a lot of


    thinking. He thought about the past, the present, and the future. He let his imagination roam and his


    fantasies fly, and somehow he seemed to understand a little bit more why Dustin had been so


    desperately searching for that person…


    He used to tease Dustin that he got hung up over a woman too easily, that he could never seem to let


    go of Joan. He often failed to understand why the man would rather reject the many wonderful women


    around him and continue to waste his efforts on a married woman.


    Love does not discriminate when ites to time or targets, and it makes matches in no particr


    order. How can you be sure who you’ll fall in love with in the next second? One could not predict when


    or how it would happen, just like Jory at the moment. He had no idea that he was starting to develop a

    different kind of feelings for Nancy. He supposed he might have fallen in love with her, but if someone


    asked him what love was, he could note up with a clear answer.


    “What’s up, Caspian? Are you still unable to contact the director of Alpire Group?”


    “I’m afraid not, Boss. I don’t know what’s going on. I’ve searched for all the contact information of


    almost all the existing corporations, but I can’t find anything on Alpire Group!” Caspian reported. He


    was extremely anxious, for this was the first time he had ever felt so powerless. His efforts had been in


    vain.


    On the other side, Larry was getting increasingly worried. “What can we do now? We want to meet


    them, but we can’t even find their contact number. The branches are being acquired one after another.


    If this goes on, we’ll eventually go out of business!”


    Caspian did not respond. The noise on his side was getting louder and louder, so much so that Larry


    could barely make out his voice. Larry ced his ears closer to the receiver in desperate need to hear


    Caspian amid the noise, when thetter suddenly yelled, “Get them out of here!”


    Before Larry could even ask the man whatever was going on, Caspian beat him to it. “Boss, whatever


    you do, don’te to thepany. I don’t know how the hell they did it but this ce has been


    swarming with journalists for the past few days, especially today. They all want toe into the


    building to interview you. Boss, you cannote here! They’ll have you cornered!”


    “Caspian, what’s going on? Why are there suddenly so many journalists?” Larry asked uneasily.


    “I don’t know, boss! There’s a lot more of them today! It’s like they have made a pact to swarm in here!


    I heavily suspect that they’re acting under someone else’s orders. Whatever you do, do note


    here!”


    Despite Caspian’s repeated warnings, Larry believed he had to go see for himself. He was the


    president of Norton Corporation. He should be shouldering all responsibility, and not be shielded by his


    staff. He was not a coward. Hence, he must step forward to bear the burden. As the saying goes, with


    great poweres great responsibility. He understood that much since he took over his father’s


    Before Larry’s ck car could evene to a stop in front of thepany’s entrance, the journalists,


    all of whom had been pestering the front desk manager despite being blocked by the security guard,


    immediately swarmed towards the president. One by one, they pressed themselves on the car windows


    likeyers of vines.


    They held up microphones representing various TV stations and online shows. Behind them were the


    camera crew. They clung onto Larry, hungry and desperate for thetest scoop.


    “Mr. Norton, can you tell us how yourpany’s doingtely?”


    “Mr. Norton, can you talk about the underlying causes of the stock vtility?”


    “Mr. Norton! Mr. Norton! What’s your opinion on the rumors that Norton Corporation’s about to be


    acquired by Alpire Group, the multinationalpany? “


    “Mr. Norton, can you take a moment to ept our interview?”


    Their many faces resembled the scary images one would often find in horror stories. They screamed,


    mored, and twisted, while Larry struggled to catch his breath. He could not even make out their


    faces as he could only feel the opening and closing of their mouths. So much mumbling and murmuring


    rang about his ears, but he could hear nothing else other than the sounds of his own beating heart.


    Thump! Thump! Thump! It was all so deafening, as if the noise could pierce through his chest at any


    given moment.
