Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2086
“Uhh… Do you have time today? We haven’t seen each other for so long. How about we grab a bite together?” Flora suggested bashfully, keeping her head low.
“I’m busy today. I have to see Ms. Young.”
Flora instantly felt hollow upon being rejected so straightforwardly.
What the hell is with him? Forget it. I’m done.
“Sure. Go on now. I have work to do.” Flora shoved Dustin right out of her office.
Arghhhh! He pisses me off! The woman stomped her feet in frustration while staring at the lighthouse outside the window.
Meanwhile, Dustin collected himself before walking toward Delilah’s ward.
“What happened? How did you get scalded?” Larry held onto Joan’s arm tightly and blew at her hand.
“Oh, it’s fine. I’ll be better in no time.” Joan caressed the man’s hair.
Delilah smiled in satisfaction as she watched them.
How she wished for them to carry on that way.
Dustin stood outside watching the entire ordeal. Then, he turned and left. The man didn’t want to see how affectionate Larry and Joan were, or he might end up punching Larry in the face.
“Oh, where’s Dustin? Didn’t he come looking for you?” Delilah suddenly asked.
Larry’s gaze instantly turned cold. What is that man doing here?
“What is he here for?” he asked, acting nonchalant.
“Oh, he knows this hospital pretty well, so he rushed over after hearing about Ms. Young. That was quite thoughtful of him,” Joan explained.
Who knows what he’s actually up to or if he’s doing this on purpose. Larry sipped his tea.
“Has Noelle come looking for you recently?”
“No. Why would she? It’s not like we’re close.”
“Come on, Joan. You were so popular in school,” Larry said deliberately.
What does he mean by that? Joan gazed at him, waiting for an explanation.
“Caiden used to like you,” the man added placidly.
How is that possible? We barely even spoke to each other back then!
“Cut that nonsense. Noelle’s going to misunderstand me again if she finds out about this.” Joan glared at Larry.
This woman… I’m being completely serious here, but she doesn’t believe me.
“Anyway, do be careful. I’m guessing that many things will start happening—especially when I’m not around…”
He spoke so sternly that Joan almost took him for his word.
“All right. Your phone’s ringing. Your assistant probably wants you back.” Joan pointed to the device nearby that couldn’t stop vibrating.
In the backyard, Dustin sat on a stone bench, gazing up at the sky while hugging his own arm.
“Hello? How’s it going?”
“Mr. Silverman, we can’t buy any more of Norton Corporation’s shares. The other shareholders refuse to sell their shares, so we can only place second. According to what I’ve heard, those guys are loyal supporters of Larry—”
What an idiot! He can’t even nail such a simple task!
Smack!
Dustin threw his phone onto the ground.
“Aww, such a fiery temper you have.”A familiar but loathsome voice rang out from nearby.
Not responding, Dustin continue to stare into the sky.
“I don’t know what you’re up to, but you’ll never be able to lay a finger on Norton Corporation,” Larry added.
With a smirk, Dustin slowly got up and walked toward him.
“Why? Are you scared?”
He had obtained so many of Norton Corporation’s shares and refused to believe that Larry would remain still or indifferent.
“I have nothing to fear. The corporate world is a battlefield. There are no feelings involved—only wins and losses.”
The two stood in the hallway, staring each other down frostily as the atmosphere tensed up all of a sudden.
“Dustin!” Suddenly, Flora’s voice rang out from behind.
