    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2005


    Knock… Knock… Knock…


    For a long time, the assistant knocked on Larry’s door but didn’t get any response.


    “There’s a meeting shortly, Mr. Norton. Do you want to reschedule?” the assistant asked carefully.


    She had seen his reaction when he overheard the chatterings of his employees earlier on. She knew


    that Larry would be feeling dejected, so she came into his office to check on him.


    “Reschedule it. Cancel all of today’s meetings,” Larry said in a low voice as he rested his head on the


    table.


    At that moment, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked haggard. The assistant started to worry.


    “Larry, are you alright?” the assistant asked tentatively.


    She had never seen him so disheartened before. Even when Norton Corporation was being acquired


    some time ago, he was never this despondent. But now…


    He must really love Joan, too bad… The assistant’s expression turned grim.


    “Get me some flu medication.” Larry lifted his head up and said.


    “Right away.” The assistant ran out of the office immediately.


    “Lars!”


    As soon as the assistant went out, the despicable woman came rushing in. Larry felt his head


    throbbing.


    “Why are you here?” Larry asked coldly in a weak voice.


    Why am I here? We’ll be getting married soon anyway, so we might as welly some groundwork now.


    A scheming smile crept onto Gabrie’s lips.


    “I’m here to check on you. You didn’t answer your phone when I called you, so I thought something


    must have happened to you,” Gabrie said as she slowly walked up to him and gave him her most


    charming smile.


    But Larry was dreadfully turned off.


    “I’m fine. You can leave now,” Larry replied straightforwardly.


    Her absence was better than anything else.


    “Lars, are you chasing me away? We’ll be living together soon anyway,” Gabrie snickered.


    Who wants to live with a malicious woman like her?


    “What’s wrong with you? Are you not feeling well? Come on, let’s go to the hospital.” Gabrie clung


    onto Larry and tugged him.


    There was utter silence outside of his office.


    “Don’t touch me. Get your filthy hands off me!” Larry roared.


    Just then, Gabrie stared at the man before her in disbelief.


    Damn him! Why is he still thinking about Joan?


    How ridiculous of him to be this lovesick! That woman has eloped with another man.


    I should be grateful to you, Joan. Gabrie stared at him with fierce eyes.


    “Lars, have you seen the news today?” Gabrie deliberately asked in a low voice.


    Larry red at the woman before him, and he knew what she wanted to say.

    “Get lost. You’ll be sorry if you show up in front of me again.” His outburst caused Gabrie to tremble,


    and she stumbled a few steps back.


    “I’ll leave now, Lars. Call me if you need anything.” With that, Gabrie rushed out of the office.


    When she came out of his office, the employees quickly dispersed and went back to their seats. She


    could tell that they were discussing among themselves about Larry and herself again. Nevertheless,


    Gabrie walked past them proudly with a haughty look on her face.


    “What’s going on? Why is Gabrie getting so close to Mr. Norton recently?”


    “I don’t know. But something doesn’t seem right. And Mrs. Norton hasn’te to the office recently.”


    “Gosh, it can’t be! Gabrie is the homewrecker?”


    Just then, everyone was shocked to the core. The women went back to their seats with inconceivable


    expressions on their faces.


    To them, this was a terrible conjuncture. From their point of view, Larry was a man with a sessful


    career and a perfect gentleman. How could he possibly be involved with another woman, let alone


    someone like Gabrie?


    “Mr. Norton!” The assistant rushed into his office with the medicine in hand.
