Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2622
The Spicy Variety
As Larry and De were currently coborators, he naturally preferred not to stand her up.
“Y’all can decide,” Larry said.
He pushed the responsibility outright unto Jessica.
“I’m sure you won’t mind. Wouldn’t you, Ms. Zimmer? De turned back and asked.
How could I not?I totally opposed it!
Jessica gritted her teeth in annoyance.
“It’s rather unfortunate that you aren’t fond of spicy food, Ms. Duff, because I’ve already made a
reservation at a restaurant that specializes in it!” Jessica said.
“That’s okay. I could just rinse it down with a bit of water,” De replied.
Is she being serious? Could she not tell that she’s not wanted?
Jessica’s eyes twitched at the other woman before she turned and stormed out.
What an adorable girl. She really busted her brainsing up with excuses not to have mee
along! De smiled smugly before she walked up to Larry.

Inside the private room, the orders were already tabled by the server. As mentioned, all the dishes
were of the spicy variety. That was, of course, intentional on the part of Jessica.
“I’m so sorry about this. These are all Larry’s favorites,” Jessica said purposefully.
Larry turned sharply and regarded Jessica in surprise.
Though subtle, the gesture was sufficiently picked up by De who had her eyes on Jessica all this
time. She merely smiled withoutment.
“Don’t push yourself, Ms. Duff. If these dishes aren’t suited for your pte, you could always go and
eat elsewhere.” Jessica gloated as she ate.
You need to do better than that trying to get close to Larry, you stupid woman! Buzz off if you don’t
have it in you!
Jessica shot her a look before she shoveled a slice of beef into her own mouth.
“Of course not. I do think that these dishes aren’t half-bad,” De replied as she ate.
Jessica was stunned.
“Umm, I would say that they’re actually quite delicious.” De nodded in approval.
At this moment, Jessica looked dismayed.
Who was it who told her that De did not take spicy food? From the looks of it, it was clear that she
rather enjoyed it! Jessica gnashed her teeth and seethed in silence.
“Come on, have some more,” Larry said as he ced another piece of meat on Jessica’s te.
He knew that Jessica had quite the temper, so he would not venture to imagine what might happen if
she blew her top.
“Would you care for a drink, Ms. Zimmer?” De asked provocatively.
Huh? Is she challenging me now?Don’t underestimate me!
Jessica sat up straight and regarded the woman in front of her with extreme seriousness.
“Sure. I’ll have some,” she replied without any hesitancy.
“You can’t, Jessica.” Larry beside her was quick to caution.
“Shut your mouth,” she leaned in and whispered in return.
The scene ying out told De all she needed to know.
Would Larry have intervened if this girl was a better drinker than she was?
“Here, Ms. Zimmer. A toast,” De dered with her ss raised high.
Jessica shuddered upon seeing the alcoholic beverage inside.
She thought that they were going to have beers, but it seemed to her that it was spirits! Jessica
avoided spirits because they would put her out for the count every single time.
“Why? Are you not up for this?” De asked with a smile.
“Whoever said that? I’m in!” and she downed the entire ss of spirit at a go.
What a sport! De smiled in delight as she regarded the girl in front of her.
She had yed host to many before, but having someone as game as Jessica was a first.
“That’s enough. Let’s dig in, and I’ll send both of you hometer,” Larry said.
“What home? We’ve barely warmed up! Isn’t that right, Ms. Duff?” Jessica was a little unsteady as she
pointed at De across from her.
“Right on. How about I pour you one as well, Larry?” De said in a low voice.
