Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1463

"Are you deaf? If you have a problem with it, put down the contract and get lost!" Larry roared, livid.

Hah! This woman is still as stupid as ever!

"Yes, yes, I understood. Goodbye, Mr. Norton,” Joan hastily replied as she trembled in terror. “Please

excuse me, Mr. Norton. I look forward to working with you.”

Without waiting for him to answer, she bolted out of the office like the hounds of hell were nipping

at her heels.

“This is just the first step. I want to get back everything you owe me. I look forward to working with

you as well,” Larry mumbled as he watched her leave. Nevertheless, even he himself didn't realize

that his attitude had long since changed.

“Phew! I'm finally out of there!” Joan breathed in deeply, for every single second she was in his

office was torture to her.

But at the thought of her conversation with him earlier, her lips that had just curved upward turned

down again.

Such a massive amount of work will require at least two people to complete in a week, so if I'm

doing it alone...

Despite her misgivings, she could only suffer in silence. Without fretting over it anymore, she

instantly went back to the office and started on her insane workload.

Every day, she worked overtime until late at night. Then, she woke up early the next morning and

rushed back to the office. Without her having realized it, three days had passed.

Throughout the three days, she merely buried herself in work. While it was tiring, it was a blessing

for her since she could temporarily put the matter of Larry at the back of her mind.

While Joan was swamped with work, Larry was conversely very much agitated. Not all company

matters required his personal attention, and he could also easily resolve matters involving major

decision-making with his outstanding capabilities, so he had quite some time on his hands.

Whenever he was , Joan's image always appeared in his mind. Ever since she left, he decided to

close his heart off to everyone. After all, it was only when one felt nothing that one wouldn't get

hurt.

Tons of beautiful women flocked to him due to his imminent background and handsome outlook,

yet he wasn't at all interested in any of them. Even when it came to Gabriella, it was only because of

his business dealings with the Ward family and her insistent demand to work at Norton Corporation

did he agree to take her in.

He tried his best to regard Joan as a mere business partner, but even after giving it his all, he

discovered that he was merely lying to himself. The truth was, he still loved her despite hating her.

Joan Watts, you still owe me an explanation! At that thought occurred to him, he no longer

hesitated but instantly drove over to Joan's company.

When the limited-edition Lamborghini gradually came to a stop in front of Opulent Designs, it

attracted the attention of some passersby and staff members. All of them were curious to know

which tycoon was the owner of the car.

As the car door swung open, a shining leather shoe extended out of the car, followed by a tall man

in a suit. He had a handsome and captivating countenance, coupled with a pair of intelligent and

profound-looking eyes. It was none other than Larry.

"Wow! He's so handsome!” Some ladies had long since started gawking by the roadside.

“And he’s driving such a luxurious car despite his young age! Who is he?”

“Don’t you know him? That's Larry Norton, the new president of Norton Corporation!”

Larry was very much accustomed to the commotion he had created, so he didn't tarry at all. Instead,

he strode into the building.

His arrival had the entire company descending into chaos. In no time, Joan's cousin, who was also

the owner of the company, personally came over to greet him.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Larry asked for directions to Joan's office and headed there

right away.

At that exact moment, Joan was taking a nap.

Exhausted physically and mentally from the deluge of work for several days in succession, she was

so tired that she dozed off. Larry sauntered in without knocking on the door. When he spotted Joan

who had fallen asleep while sprawled over the table, his heart clenched abruptly. Unbidden, he

stretched out a hand to touch her face.

Coincidentally, Joan jolted awake at that precise moment. As their gazes locked, she jumped to her

feet.

"Why are you here, Mr. Norton? I wasn't sleeping!” In the next moment, she hurriedly clapped a

hand over her mouth upon realizing that she had misspoken.

Surprisingly, Larry didn't sink his teeth into her remark. Instead, he slowly retracted his hand that

was suspended in midair and awkwardly rubbed his nose. “I just want to take a look at your revised

proposal.”
