Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2626
A Get Together
“Tried. Didn’t work,” Larry said.
These two women were equally mule-headed. Once they had their minds made up about anything, not
even the strength of ten bulls would be able to rein them in, let alone any mortal being!
“What are you whining about, Caspian?” Jessica asked aloud as she entered.
Is she awake? De turned her head to regard the woman who was steadily making her way in.
Yeah. Her eyes might be open, but the alcohol is definitely still in her system.
“Ah!”
Her knees suddenly gave way and shended on all fours. Jessica ruffled her hair and exhausted all
her might in an effort to get back up.
“Whoops. How embarrassing.” She dusted herself off and headed straight for the couch.
“I think I’m going to lie down for a bit.” And she did so and closed her eyes.
This was something that Larry and Caspian had be quite ustomed to, but De’s eyes were
peeled wide open as she regarded the woman on the couch.
“She’s fine. Just a little tired, that’s all,” Caspian exined to De.
Well, that’s an eye-opener. De shook her head at that.
Considerable time had passed before the person on the couch finally came to.
“Hmm…” Jessica had fingers pressed up against her temple and looked in some measure of
difort.
“Are you up?” Larry asked from behind the desk.
“Where is this?” she asked while her eyes remained closed.
“My office,” he replied.
Lucky for her that it was not some bar or nightclub, or she would be in trouble.
“How long have I been out?” Jessica asked.
“Eons,” he replied.
Perhaps the sighting of Jessica’s awakening in the office set Caspian in motion. He rushed to her side,
quietly worried.
“Could you not start knocking it back so casually from now on, Ma’am?”
Caspian’s tone was a mixture of disgruntlement and entreaty.
“Oh, don’t make such a big fuss about it. I only had a little bit,” she replied as she massaged her own

thighs.
“You know I’m just worried that something might happen to you.”
“With Larry around, what could possibly go wrong? Stop scaring yourself.” Jessica then stood up and
stretched herself in front of the window.
“You ought to be at the bookstore, Jessica,” Larry said after some consideration.
That reminded her that she had not dropped in there for quite a while, so without hesitancy nor pausing
for Caspian to speak, she exited the office.
Caspian sighed upon seeing her in such a hurry.
“Alright, that should be all. You should get back to it,” Larry said.
Caspian thought otherwise. He was not quite finished with Jessica. Nheless, he smiled before he
walked out.
The development of Norton Corporation had always been steady, bereft of surprises in both senses of
the word. At the heart of the issue were the conservative ways by which thepany had always been
operated, which led to its inability to separate itself from thepetition.
That was something Larry did not want and went to great lengths to avoid.
Conversely, the rapid growth experienced at the photography studio ofte was a source of sce for
Joan. She believed that with such a resilient and loyal team behind it, things could only get better for
them.
“How are you doing, Ms. Watts?” Caiden asked as he approached.
Joan got onto her feet upon hearing this familiar voice.
“Not too bad, I’d say,” she replied.
“Would you like to dine together?” he asked.
This, did not seem that appropriate. She did not want to eat out alone with Caiden, as she was
concerned that it might lead to a misunderstanding for Keith and Larry.
“Well, I’ve something else on tonight…”
“You’re the head of the department. If you won’t go, how do you expect everyone else to?” Caiden
suddenly added.
Did that mean that it was a get-together with the rest of the staff from the studio? Joan scrutinized the
man in front of her and waited for him to expound upon it further.
