Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2094
“Mom, is Dad reallying?” Lucius doubted.
For so long, he had been well aware that Larry often seemed tired when he returned home. It could be
the workload weighing him down, so the boy did not want to take up his time.
“Don’t worry. Your father says he will, and he keeps his promises.” Joan patted Lucius on the shoulder.
But the boy would rather Larry sleep in…
Days passed, and soon the day for camping had arrived. Joan gave her instructions to the doctors and
nurses in the hospital before she left the ce feeling a little relieved. At the same time, Larry was
anxiously reviewing documents in his office.
It was certainly a coincidence that, just when he was almost done with work, someone had to throw a
monkey wrench into his ns.
“Mr. Norton, there’s a call for you.” His assistant quickly passed him the phone.
“Good day, Mr. Norton. It’s like this. We have decided to withdraw the partnership with your
out.
Why the sudden withdrawal? A fit of anger rose within Larry. He did not understand it. What have I
done wrong? Is there anything about the procedures that you aren’t satisfied with? I thought we’ve had
an agreement! Why, of all times, just when the contract’s about to be signed, have you decided to back
out?
“Mr. Lancaster, we’re about to sign the contract. It just doesn’t seem appropriate for you to tell me
something like that. You’ve actively sought partnership with us, haven’t you? And we willingly agreed,
because of yourpany’s credibility…” Larry dished out his discontent.
He had to admit, he certainly had high hopes for that foreignpany in particr. It posed great
potential, and he had wanted to work with an enterprise like that. So when the director of thepany
came to him about extending the partnership, he felt like he had hit the jackpot. Perhaps, in hindsight,
he got hit on the head too hard.
“Mr. Norton, please don’t take it up with me. It’s our boss. All of a sudden, he gave me an order, telling
me to call off the partnership with yourpany. I’m just following orders, sir. It’s not my decision to
make,” said the other party.
“But, you’re wee toe and talk it over with our boss. It’s still possible to turn this around. The
boss seemed to be hesitating when he told me about it,” the director added.
Go abroad to talk it over? Again? Larry was not pleased at all. What about Lucius’ field trip? I’ve
promised Joan I’ll go camping with them. But… this project… I can’t pass this up!
“Mr. Norton, what do you want me to do? Shall I book a ne ticket for you?” His assistant looked on
anxiously, pending his answer.
This was a big project. It would be a shame if Larry gave it all up.
Larry crossed the room to stand in front of the window. He squinted as he took in the view outside. It
was all rather sad. Why is everything happening at the same time?
“Yes, please do that,” Larry said faintly.
“Mom,e on!” At school, Lucius shouted.
“Oh, my dear baby boy. Slow down, will you?” came the response.
“Mom, why isn’t Dad here yet?” Lucius stared at the road a short distance away, expecting Larry’s car

to appear anytime soon.
They waited long enough, but Larry failed to show up.
“Dad’s noting, is he?” Lucius sounded disappointed.
At the same time, Larry was in a car heading towards the airport. The director had specifically told him
that their boss would be leaving tomorrow, so he only had one day’s time to negotiate on the project.
Bored by the scenery outside the window, Larry checked his watch. By the time he took out his phone,
he realized it had been switched off.
With no way of calling Joan to inform her of hisst-minute situation, he was quickly ovee by
anxiety.
“Is everybody ready? Parents, students, can I see a show of hands?” the principal shouted on the
tform with a loudspeaker in hand.
“All here!” echoed the crowd.
Lucius was the only one hanging his head in silence. Joan could not bear to see the sad look on the
kid’s face. She fished out her phone and made a call.
