    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2637


    A Woman Scorned


    “Why must you be so cruel to me? Haven’t I been nice enough to you?” De continued.


    “De, if you don’t wish to cooperate with me, feel free to cancel all the partnerships between you and


    Norton Corporation. I’m not stopping you,” Larry said.


    De finally loosened her grip.


    “Don’t you like me at all?”


    “No.”


    De shook her head in despair as her eyes welled up with tears.


    “The only person I love is Joan.” Larry tidied his clothes and left the room.


    De clenched her fists in anger as she watched him leave. Her gaze was cold as ice.


    I’m not going to y nice anymore. I have to make him mine!


    Larry headed home straightaway instead of going to his office.


    Meanwhile, Joan was already lying in bed as she reyed the scene of that devastating phone call


    over and over in her head.


    Click!


    Someone opened the door. Is he back? Joan leaped off the bed and walked to the living room.


    “You’re home,” she greeted him.


    “Why aren’t you asleep?” he asked in concern.


    “Oh, I couldn’t fall asleep,” she replied.


    “Why? Are things too hectic at the photography studio?” Larry rushed over and pulled her into his side.


    Joan’s heart ached when she took in his exhausted appearance.


    “Larry, how are things at your office?” she asked carefully.


    Stunned, Larry paused for a moment before flicking her forehead with a smallugh.


    “Why are you suddenly so interested in Norton Corporation?” Don’t worry, everything’s fine.”


    Is it? Joan forced a smile but wondered why he wasn’t telling her the truth.


    “Larry, don’t lie to me. Did Jake end all his partnerships with yourpany?” Joan blurted.


    He smiled gently as he caressed her hair.


    “It’s fine. Everything’s great.”


    “I’m sorry.” She hugged him tightly as she apologized.


    Neither would expect Jake’s future retaliation toward Norton Corporation.


    The next morning, the room was bright and warm from the sunlight. Joan and Larry had slept

    “It’s time to get up,” Larry said softly as he nudged Joan’s elbow.


    “I’m so tired.” Joan kept her hold on his neck.


    Delh seemed to know that today was not a good time to wake them up early in the morning. Instead,


    she left quietly after eating breakfast.


    “Don’t overthink things next time. There’s nothing Jake can do to stop the growth of Norton


    Corporation,” Larryforted her while gently patting her back.


    “Ok,” she replied.


    They enjoyed each other’spany a moment longer before finally getting up.


    “I’ll send you to work,” Larry offered after they had both eaten breakfast.


    “It’s ok. It’s not on the way for you. You should get going!” She waved goodbye at him before she left.


    Joan felt reassured after a good night’s sleep. Little did she know that she would be hit with some


    upsetting news again.


    Women were strange creatures. When they were happy, they could carry on with their lives without a


    care for the world. Yet, when they were upset, they could recall every unfortunate incident in their lives.


    Joan had already forgotten about how De had answered Larry’s phonest night. One little smile


    from Larry was enough to push her into a drugged state of joy. She could not bring herself to cling on to


    such inconsequential matters.


    Yet all these little incidents were catalysts for a huge misunderstanding. They were merely waiting for


    the right moment to strike.


    “Joan, we’re leaving!”


    “Hey Joan, I’m going off!”


    The staff outside her office left one after another. Soon, she was the only one left in the photography


    studio.
