Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1994
She wouldn’t mind if Jory ended the call the moment he heard her voice. In fact, that was what she
desperately hoped for.
When Jory heard how strange she sounded, he tried his best to suppress his emotions.
“Ms. Ward, when are you free? Let’s meet over a meal.” Jory got straight to the point.
As to what it was about, Gabrie would only find out once she met him.
“Wow, Mr. Synder, I’m surprised you are inviting me out for lunch. All this while, you never had time to
do so given how busy you are. Unfortunately, I’m unable to make it as it’s inconvenient for me to move
around now. I’m sorry,” Gabrie replied with a contemptuous tone.
She actually rejected me! Jory’s eyes darkened.
“Oh, is that so? And here I was thinking of working with you on a project I have. Since it’s not a good
time, then let’s just forget about it.” With that, Jory ended the call.
Ever since Gabrie came back from overseas, she had be a lot more hardworking. Her decisive
actions in the business world were no lesser than that of a man. Jory was puzzled as to what caused
her to change so much in such a short time.
“Did you say project?” Gabrie’s eyes suddenly sparkled.
Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Since there’s a project involved, I’m definitely interested. As long as a profit can be made, I don’t care
who my partner is. Gabrie’s lips widened into a smile.
“It’s too difficult to exin over the phone. Let meet somece and have a meal together,” Gabrie
suggested.
Since she had invited him, Jory would look petty if he held a grudge for how she treated him earlier.
“Sure.”
After exchanging pleasantries, both of them ended the call.
The stocks that Gabrie invested in had tanked while the projects she was working on hardly yielded
any profit. Hence, she needed to solicit a few more projects to beef up her financial situation.
“Gabrie, who was that?” the man beside her asked.
“Oh, it’s just one of my business partners,” she inly replied.
As she wasn’t feeling too good recently, the man stayed over often to take care of her. In fact, she
didn’t resent his presence at all.
She didn’t like employing maids as she wasn’t one to ce her trust on outsiders.
“Sigh, I need to go out for a while. When you leave, don’t forget to lock the door,” Gabrie instructed.
“How did it go?” Nancy looked at Jory in anticipation.
“Don’t worry. Gabrie is no longer the hedonistic woman she used to be. The best way to tempt her
now is by using projects.” Jory pulled Nancy into his tight embrace.
“Do you feel better now?” He stroked her hair gently.
She did. Jory had never disappointed her before.
“It’s been a while, Ms. Ward.” Jory took a sip of his coffee inside the café.
“Yes indeed, Mr. Synder.” Gabrie rubbed her stomach on purpose.
“I see that you’re pregnant. Congrattions,” Jory remarked deliberately.
Feigning bashfulness for a moment, she quickly regained herposure.
“It’s just a pity it doesn’t have a father,” Gabriemented on purpose.
I had better change the subject before she has any bright ideas.
“How can you say it doesn’t have a father? Come, Ms. Ward. This is the contract for the project. Why
don’t you take a look?” Jory ced the document in front of her.
As they were discussing business, Jory knew he had to show his sincerity. Or else, she might see
through his ruse.
“You are really bold, Mr. Synder,” Gabrie remarked as she went through the document.
He is being overly generous for no reason. Since when did he think so highly of me—to hand me such
a lucrative project?
“How about it? What do you think?” Jory asked.
He was confident that she would sign the contract. After all, any self-respecting businessman would not
let go of an opportunity like that.
“Mr. Synder, I have a question. Why did you choose me? You must know that there are many other
domesticpanies who are dying to partner with you.” Gabrie stared at him warily.
