    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1751


    Theputer on the desk attracted Gabrie’s gaze. She had tried to unlock hisputer before, but


    as expected, his password was too secure to be hacked.


    Gabrie used to be the heiress of a rich family. If she ever wanted something, others would bestow it


    to her right away. Not even a two-factor authentication system could faze her. If she wanted to hack it,


    there would definitely be a group of highly skilled hackers rushing to unlock it for her.

    Yet, times had changed. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She mmed her


    right fist on Jory’s desk so forcefully that theputer trembled as well.


    Gabrie walked toward the water dispenser, poured herself a cup of warm water, and sat on the couch


    leisurely, waiting for Jory to return. Since he did not lock the door, it meant that he would certainly


    return.


    “An office building?” Nancy looked at Jory, puzzled. “Didn’t you say that you’re bringing me to your


    office? Why are we at a random building?”


    Jory pressed a button on the lift. “Yeah, my office’s here.”


    “I thought that your office would be at Alpire Group…” Nancy teased, “I’d assume that the son of Alpire


    Group’s chairman would at least be the general manager.”


    Jory ced his arms on his waist. “You’re overthinking it. Do you think that the old man would willingly


    pass the position to me after I fell out with him? My family practices a merit-based system, not a


    hereditary one.”


    Deep in thought, Nancy nodded. “Yeah, that sounds about right. The position of chairman or general


    manager must be reserved for talented and capable people.”


    Jory nodded subconsciously but soon discovered the implicit message hidden in her words. He even


    foolishly agreed to what she said. Pinching her cheek gently, he said, “Are you saying that I’m neither


    talented nor capable?”


    As he was pinching her cheek, Nancy said yfully, “That’s what you said. I didn’t say anything…”


    The sensation of Nancy’s face against his hand felt good. He snorted coldly, “Forget it. I’m in a good


    mood today, so I won’t make a fuss about it.”


    Nancy clutched her face. “Why isn’t your rtionship with your family good?”


    “Our rtionship isn’t good?” Jory raised his eyebrows. “What makes you think so?”


    “Isn’t it so obvious? It’s almost as if it’s written all over your face?” As Nancy spoke, she pointed at her


    own face.


    The lift stopped on the thirteenth floor and they walked out. Jory rolled his eyes. “I’m relying on my own


    capabilities to support myself. I’m not like other rich heirs who can only inherit their father’s business


    and leech off them!”


    He was indirectly hinting at Larry. After he gathered information about Larry, he subconsciouslybeled


    him as such a person. To be honest, he could not figure out why Joan would rather be with a leech like


    him than an educated and intelligent man like Dustin.


    Thinking that he was mocking her, Nancy asked, “Are you saying that I’m not capable of anything and


    am only relying on my father to enjoy the rest of my life?”


    Jory did not expect her to think that way. “Huh? That’s not what I meant. Even if you didn’t rely on your


    family, you can still earn a living by working as a Taekwondo coach.”


    Nancy did not expect him to react so quickly. She was deliberately putting him in a tight spot, but he


    could react so swiftly. His words were very tactful too. If Caspian were in his shoes, he would definitely


    stutter, “T-That’s not what I mean. Don’t misunderstand!”


    What’s going on? Why am Iparing these two men who have nothing to do with each other? Am I


    subconsciously pitting Caspian and Jory against each other?
