Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2326
Joan looked at the two lunch boxes in Jessica’s hands bitterly. These must be for both Larry and her. How nice of them to have their meals together! As his wife, I don’t even get to do that.
“Oh, I-I’m fine. You go on. I need to go now.”
Jessica sighed at her vanishing silhouette. My goodness! Both of them are still on bad terms till now. I wonder what issues they’re having.
“Here’s your lunch.” She tossed Caspian one of the lunch boxes.
“Larry, this is yours.” Then she added casually, “Oh, I bumped into Joan just now.”
Larry looked up at once and waited for her to continue.
“She was almost knocked down by a car just now.”
Larry’s heart skipped a beat. His face turned pale as he jumped out of his chair.
“What happened after that? Was she hurt?”
“Argh! Since you’re so concerned about her, why don’t you go back and have a look? I really don’t understand what’s going through your mind,” she grumbled impatiently.
Jessica never doubted Larry’s love for Joan, no matter how angry he was.
D*mn their pride! Why can’t one of them give in and apologize?
The supermarket was packed as usual. Dustin was occupied in his office while Joan assisted the other employees with the stock check.
Suddenly, she noticed one employee was missing.
“Louis, is anyone on leave today?”
“No. Everyone is here. Why’re you asking this?” Louis answered.
Nothing could hold her back as her rising anger clouded her mind.
Bang! The door to Dustin’s office burst open and Joan marched in grimly.
He looked up at her and broke into a smile.
Then he stood up slowly and approached her. “What’s going on? Are you angry?” he asked affectionately.
“Why did you fire that young lady?” Joan cut to the chase.
What? How did she find out about this? Dustin turned away to avoid eye contact.
He knew Joan hated it when he dismissed an employee from the supermarket. Furthermore, all of them became very close to each other after working together for quite some time. Needless to say, she hoped they could be colleagues forever.
However, the girl only had herself to blame. If she did her job, he would not have kicked her out without a second thought.
