    Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2827


    “Bye, Dad,” De called out while heading out the door.


    “De!” Fred shouted after her, but his words seemed to have fallen on deaf ears as the woman was


    soon out of sight.


    Thinking about his rebellious daughter made the elder man feel disconcerted.


    “Mr. Duff, are you alright?” A housemaid darted to his side.


    “My-my meds…” Fred stammered while pointing at a drawer.


    De was not aware of her father’s medical condition. Hence, she could not understand his anxiety.


    De soon arrived outside Larry’s office. She opened his office door as quietly as possible and tiptoed


    inside as to not disturb the man who was working inside. Larry was already aware of his surroundings,

    but he refused to acknowledge her presence.


    De tried her best to pass the time by scrolling on her phone. When all her patience was finally


    exhausted, she walked toward Larry and leaned on his desk.


    “Get up,” he said, deadpan.


    He still hates me? Doesn’t he miss me at all after I went away for such a long time? The woman


    continued to stare at Larry, and a glint of despondent shed across her eyes.


    To Larry, De brought nothing but nuisance and irritation. Therefore, he was thankful to have peace of


    mind when she waspletely out of his sight.


    “Larry, I’m back,” De said carefully.


    So? If she expects a warm wee from me, she can keep on dreaming. How I wish she would vanish


    from the surface of the earth for good!


    “I’m busy,” Larry stated coldly. His eyes were glued to the files in front of him.


    The man’s aloofness saddened De.


    “Larry, here’s the information you wanted,” Caspian’s voice rang out as he walked into the office without


    knocking. He stopped in midstride when he saw De. What’s she doing back here?


    ‘If there’s nothing else, you can leave now.” Larry finally lifted his head and looked at the woman in his


    office.


    There must be something she needs here. I know her too well; each of her moves has been carefully


    calcted in order to serve her ultimate goal.


    “It’s been quite some time since west met. Can we have dinner tonight?” There was an unmistakable


    sign of plea in her tone.


    Ugh! Dining with her is such a torturous ordeal.


    “I’m upied tonight.” Larry retracted his gaze and resumed his work.


    Suddenly, De broke into tears.


    Caspian, who had been a mere onlooker from the moment he barged into the office, looked at the


    weeping woman and felt sorry for her.


    “What are you crying about? Did youe all the way here just to put on a show?” Larry was unfazed


    by the sight of the beautiful woman sobbing before him.


    What now? Did she shift her tactic to try to appeal to my better nature? Larry let out a scoff. Having


    experienced first-hand of what she was capable of, he knew better than to have mercy on De and


    then fall victim to her.


    I have already lost Joan because of her. There’s no way I’ll let this woman get to me.


    “Larry, can you please forgive me? I know that some of my past behaviors were condemnable. But I


    had no choice. I’m just so madly in love with you,” De said emotionally in between her sobs. Larry,


    however, continued to be stoned-face.


    Caspian, on the other hand, kept winking at Larry, trying to get him to go easy on De. To his dismay,


    the man waspletely walled up.


    “De, I’m really swamped right now. If you’re hungry, go find a restaurant and knock yourself out.”


    Larry’s tone left no room for discussion.


    Caspian then blurted, “Um, Ms. Duff, Larry is rather snowed under with worktely, that’s why he’s in a


    foul mood. Please don’t take this personally. Why don’t youe back at ater time when things ease


    up a little?”
