Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2321
Larry was lying on the sofa with his eyes half open as he massaged his temple.
God knows how many bottles of wine this idiot downed last night… Had it not been for Caspian, I would’ve left him by the side of the road!
“Huh? Oh, yeah, I’m fine…” Larry mumbled as he staggered to his feet.
“All right, I’ll be on my way, then.” With that, Jessica left his office.
Larry felt his heart ache at the thought of what happened last night. I can’t believe Joan attended the event with another man…
“It’s official, Larry! The directors have agreed to transfer the shares to Dustin!” Caspian shouted anxiously as he came bursting through the door.
“Got it…” Larry replied weakly.
“What do we do now, Larry? Norton Corporation will fall into Dustin’s hands if he becomes the largest shareholder!”
Now that he’s mentioned it, how was Dustin able to accomplish all that while working his butt off in the supermarket? He knows everything that happens in our company, and even bribed the directors into transferring their shares to him! Heh… So much for them claiming to be Dad’s loyal comrades in the corporate world…
“Don’t worry; I’ll go talk to them about this. I won’t let Dustin have his way,” Larry stated as he got up and left his office.
He then whipped out his phone and called up the directors.
“Ah, Mr. Norton! I’m a little busy at the moment, so I can’t meet up with you right now. Let’s talk about this some other day!”
“Sorry, Mr. Norton. I’m too old to get involved in some power struggle, so I decided to sell my shares to Dustin. He is the second largest shareholder of Norton Corporation anyway, so it only makes sense to sell it to him!”
“Watch your mouth!” The look in Larry’s eyes was so vicious that Noelle took a few steps back in fear.
What the hell is wrong with this guy? Screw this! I’m out of here! Noelle thought to herself as she walked away.
Larry looked up at the sky and took deep breaths to calm himself down.
With more pressing matters at the company to take care of, his relationship issues with Joan would have to wait.
“Caspian, find out what the shareholders are up to the next couple of days. I’m going to confront them in person and get to the bottom of things. Make sure to be discreet so you don’t startle them!”
Larry hung up the phone after that, but he wasn’t quite sure where he should go next. It’s still early… Should I go back to the office? I think I’ve pretty much taken care of everything there is to do… Do I go home then? Hmm, I don’t think Joan wants to see me right now…
