A Touch of Sweetness novel Chapter 2325

Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2325

Frowning, Larry flipped through the documents in silence and fell into a deep thought.

Something about that elusive shareholder from Norton Corporation was bugging him. Since nobody knew of his whereabouts, it was almost impossible to acquire his shares. Apart from that, Larry could foresee Dustin blindsiding him. He couldn’t let his guard down in the face of such a cunning and manipulative foe.

“Caspian, our options are limited if we don’t find that shareholder.”

“Yes, sir!” The bodyguard left after he received his orders.

Larry and Jessica sat on the sofa. Unnerved by the silence, she started chattering nonstop, to his annoyance.

“Jessica, you’re not young anymore. You lack the demeanor and maturity of women of your age. I really wonder how you are going to cope after you’re married,” Larry blurted out with great concern.

His words dumbfounded Jessica.

The next moment, a wave of fury surged within her.

“What’s the matter with you, Larry? You’re criticizing me for trying to cheer you up? I’m really disappointed with you. Where’s your conscience?” Jessica refuted in displeasure.

Larry was at a loss for words.

No sh*t! You always appear at the wrong time when I’m busy or I need some a moment to myself.

Regardless of his frustration, there was nothing he could do to Jessica. Caspian was his buddy, and he loved her.

In fact, Larry’s extreme tolerance towards her didn’t escape Caspian, who was both touched and appreciative for having such an understanding buddy. For Joan, however, the show of affection for another woman was an act of betrayal to herself.

“Alright, thanks for your concern. But, can you go to Caspian? I have something to attend to,” Larry tried to coax her.

He’s chasing me away again! Jessica pouted unhappily.

At the main entrance of Norton Corporation, a woman was pacing back and forth in one corner, lost in her thoughts. It was Joan who wanted to talk it out with Larry. She was disappointed to see Jessica exit the building.

I bet Larry must be happy to have her around! Joan clenched her fists, feeling defeated.

Jessica is indeed a caring woman. Look at how she always ensures Larry is taking his meals regularly. She’s definitely a better wife for him compared to me!

Forget it. I’d better go back first. She left without another glance.

Honk! Joan froze in shock. A car sped past, almost knocking her down when she was preoccupied with other thoughts.

“Are you alright? Are you hurt?” Jessica dashed toward her and asked anxiously.

Huh? Why is she here? Joan was stunned and looked at her quizzically.

“I was buying lunch, and I saw you here,” Jessica explained softly.
