Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1976
He even knows about the promotion? What exactly is with this guy?
Just then, the several women standing around them covered their mouths as they giggled, their gazes filled with interest.
“Are you here for something?”
Dustin was stunned for a moment before he composed himself again.
“Nothing. I just came to see you,” he replied, shrugging.
“Hi there, handsome. Can you give me your contact number?”
“Yeah, me too…”
Suddenly, the women rushed toward Dustin, asking for his contact number with both shyness and courage.
“Sure, we’re all friends, aren’t we?” he replied with a smile.
Since when did they become friends? Joan watched the people as they interacted with Dustin.
“Okay, thanks, handsome!”
“Do you want my autograph?” Suddenly, Dustin turned around to look at Joan with a playful smirk on his face.
He’s really quite bewitching. He’s handsome and has a good personality…
“No thanks, I have to get to work. You should go if you have no business here,” she replied bluntly, not wanting the others to misunderstand. At least at that moment, her husband was Larry, not Dustin.
“I just arrived, but you’re already trying to drive me away. You’re so cruel.”
“Don’t leave. You can stay here as long as you like, handsome,” a woman hastily replied.
Joan was stunned.
We’re at work right now. Are you sure we should be doing this?
Just then, the manager walked over and said, “Mr. Silverman, I’ll be heading off first. You can take over from here.”
The women, including Joan, were taken aback by his words.
“Dustin, come outside with me for a while,” she said, pulling him out.
The crowd then slowly dispersed when they left.
“What’s wrong?” The man gave her a suspicious look, not knowing why she had dragged him out.
However, Joan was only filled with anger then.
“Why did you come here?” she asked coldly as her eyes flickered with anger.
Upon hearing her tone, his eyes instantly dimmed with sadness. Does she not like me? Larry had just cheated on her, and the pair were on the verge of getting a divorce. All Dustin wanted was to care for her and accompany her when she felt the most helpless. But, she…
“You don’t want me here, do you?” he asked in a low voice, with a hint of disappointment in his tone.
Having witnessed a confident man suddenly become so depressed, Joan instantly felt sorry for him.
Forget it. Let him do whatever he wants then. He’s not hindering me anyway.
“It’s fine. I was too impulsive just now. Don’t mind me. But this is still a supermarket. It’s our workplace. I hope you…” Joan looked as if she had something else to say but held herself back.
