Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2308
“I’ll leave your breakfast here, Mr. Norton. I’ve got something on, so I’ll leave first.”
Before Jessica could make her exit, Larry suddenly shouted, “Wait, bring the food over! You can feed me.”
Wait, what? Is he out of his mind? What is he up to? Jessica was in total shock at Larry’s outrageous request. When she turned to look at Joan, she felt a flush of embarrassment.
“I still have work to do, Mr. Norton. Since Joan is here, she can feed you!”
“Get over here, Jessica!” Larry bellowed.
Jessica had no choice but to do as instructed. After all, she was in no position to offend the person who could heavily impact the future of her life and career.
“I’ll just go over for a bit, Joan,” Jessica said sheepishly as she took the breakfast to Larry.
Just like that, an awkward silence filled the air. Joan froze in her spot, not knowing what to do.
Standing beside Larry, Jessica leaned in and whispered, “What are you trying to do, Larry? Your wife is here, for goodness’ sake!”
All of a sudden, Larry grabbed her by her neck and pulled her forward.
“Do what I tell you to and quit yammering,” he replied with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
Jessica felt a cold chill down her spine and shuddered.
What is this man up to?
Never mind. I guess I’ll just play along. Nothing is going on between us anyway.
“Feed me!” he once again ordered.
Jessica looked at the breakfast she had brought and then at Joan’s. She then sensibly pushed hers aside and picked up Joan’s food.
“Wow! There’s fried eggs, sandwiches, and even milk! Look how thoughtful Joan is!” she exclaimed as she turned to smile at Joan.
For some reason, Jessica’s smile made Joan feel a lot more at ease.
She knew Jessica wasn’t gloating and that the smile was genuine. After all, women know women best. Even though she couldn’t explain it, Joan knew Jessica was being considerate of her feelings.
“What would you like to eat first?”
“The eggs,” Larry replied.
Jessica started to slowly feed him mouth after mouth of the egg Joan had so lovingly prepared. As she watched on, Joan became increasingly frustrated.
“Seriously, can’t you be more careful? You’ve got food all over your mouth. Here, let me wipe it,” Jessica said as she dabbed at Larry’s mouth with a napkin.
That was an instinctive reaction on Jessica’s part; she had not done so to irk Joan. Larry, however, was the one who deliberately left some ketchup stain on his mouth for Jessica to clean off.
Regardless of their intentions, Joan could no longer put up with the intimacy unfolding between them.
You’ve crossed the line, Larry! What have I done to make you treat me with so much disdain? Her eyes welled up with tears as she walked out in a huff.
“Joan, wait… “
Before Caspian could finish his sentence, Joan had already run away.
Inside Larry’s office, Larry and Jessica carried on like nothing had happened. Larry was still typing away as Jessica fed him.
“All right, that’s enough. I’m full,” he suddenly said.
How can he be full from just this little bit of food? That’s not right. And is he getting rid of me after using me? Just wait and see. I’m not going to let him off that easily.
“But this breakfast looks so good, Larry! Come on, have a bit more!” Jessica said as she shoved a sandwich into his mouth.
“Hey! What the hell are you doing? I’m busy. Stop playing!”
“I’m playing? You started this first! Now that you’ve pissed off your wife, she’s going to think I’ve come between your relationship!” Jessica yelled angrily at him.
Getting Joan riled up had been Larry’s intention all along. It was his way of getting back at her for being so close with Caiden and Dustin. After all, no man could tolerate his wife being intimate with other men. His actions were cruel, no doubt, but he just wanted her to have a taste of her own medicine.
