Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1634

For some inexplicable reason, Joan didn’t dare look Larry in the eye.

“Dustin?” Larry scoffed with his eyes filled with contempt. He continued to pressure Joan until she had her back against the wall. “He really hasn’t given up, has he.”

Joan looked at Larry fearfully, his anger visibly reaching its limit. His voice carried with it a hellish tone. “Do you know how preposterous it sounds when Dustin uses the word ‘friends’?”

“Why must you insist on seeing him in such a negative light?” Joan retorted as she gently shoved him away.

When Larry saw that she pushed him on account of Dustin instead of apologizing, he fell into a jealous rage and blocked her escape with his arms.

“Are you defending him? Are you regretting that you didn’t leave with him one year ago? And now that he is back, you can’t help but want to leave with him?” Larry crumpled the note in his hand and hurled it forcefully against the wall, causing it to ricochet away.

Joan couldn’t believe what Larry had accused her of. She assumed after what they had been through, both of them would become more mature and trusting of each other. However, she didn’t expect their trust to have broken down so easily.

Briefly stunned, she asked him, “Larry, don’t you trust me? Does this mean you’re doubting me?”

“Yes!” Larry was never one to hide his words. “Don’t think that I’m not aware of the rumors swirling around. Putting aside the fact I don’t believe in you, what about you? What have you done for me?”

Larry’s thundering voice shook Joan to her core. Despite the innumerable things she wanted to say, she calmed herself down when she saw how hysterical Larry had become.

“There’s nothing for me to explain. If you don’t believe me, just forget it. Larry, let go of me. Both of us need to calm down.”

When Larry retracted his arms that were in her way, Joan stormed into the study without even looking back. When he saw her dispassionate silhouette, he was overwhelmed with disappointment.

Calm down? Joan, how do you expect me to calm down?

Leaning her back against the closed doors, tears streamed down Joan’s cheeks.

The disappointment she felt was no different from the time when she saw him making out with Gabriella while delivering a contract to his office.

“Why, Larry? Am I a shameless traitor not worthy of your trust to you?”

Despite trying desperately to hold back her tears, they pitter-pattered continuously onto the floor.

“Mr. Norton, here is this quarter’s financial report. Please see if there are any changes that need to be made…”

“Get out! Just get out!” With a shove of his hand, the documents the secretary brought were swept onto the ground, causing a bunch of papers to be strewn all over.

With sweat breaking out on her forehead, the secretary quickly gathered the documents from the floor. Although Larry had a bad temper, he had never vented on his subordinates to such an extent. Having been on the receiving end of his outburst, his secretary was so fearful that she didn’t dare look up. Ignoring the order of the papers, she quickly grabbed all of them and stuffed them back into the file.

Given how angry he was, everything Larry saw seemed to irritate him. Filled with rage, he was further annoyed by the pile of reports on his table that required his approval. Grabbing a cup from the corner of his desk, he then smashed it onto the ground forcefully.

Upon impact, the drink splattered all over, just like a turbulent wave on a calm ocean surface.

Kneeling by the ground to pick up the report, the secretary was shaken by what had happened. Immediately, she stood up and rushed for the door. Just when she was about to exit, she bumped right into someone coming in.

When she saw who it was, she nodded respectfully in acknowledgment. The person didn’t say a word and just motioned for her to leave quickly.

Given how light the footsteps were, Larry knew who it was without looking. Nevertheless, his mood was equally foul while the room was still filled with tension.
