Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1514

“I'm Cory Jefferson.”

Carl did not tell her his true name. After all, he was not actually planning to collaborate with Joan.

Moreover, it would do him no good to reveal his identity since he was scheming against her.

"Hello, Mr. Jefferson. Let's get straight to business then,” Joan said solemnly.

“Ms. Joan, there's no need for us to rush, right? What's the point of life if we don't enjoy it? So why

don't we try to know each other first?” Carl suggested.

A topic too solemn was not going to help him with his plan, so Carl was trying to liven up the

atmosphere.

Joan was baffled, sensing something odd about Carl's words.

Even if I want to enjoy life, I won't be doing it with a stranger like you. Moreover, why should I share

my private life with you?

Despite her displeasure, Joan maintained the polite smile on her face.

“Mr. Jefferson, I don't think we're that familiar with each other. It'll be inappropriate for us to talk

about personal matters, so let's discuss the contract instead,” Joan rejected respectfully, hoping to

change the topic.

“Let's be honest, Ms. Watts. I'm very interested in you, but since you have a boyfriend, I know I don't

stand a chance. I just want to find out who's the lucky guy who has such an amazing girlfriend like

you,” Carl said with intentional nonchalance

"How about this? Let's make a deal. I'll show you my girlfriend's photo, and you'll let me see who

your boyfriend is.” As Carl spoke, he stood up and showed her his phone.

Perplexed by Carl's series of actions, Joan rejected again, “That won't be necessary, Mr. Jefferson. I'm

not interested in your personal matters. If we're not going to talk about work, I won't be able to stay

around anymore. I'll be heading home then.”

With that said, Joan began rising to her feet, not wanting to waste any more of her time with Carl. If

there really was anything important for them to discuss, they could just do it the next day.

“All right, all right. Ms. Joan, since you don't like to talk about personal matters, let's not.”

Almost immediately, Carl pressed down on Joan's shoulders to make her sit again. Then, he headed

back to his seat and began talking about “work.”

Meanwhile, someone had taken photos of Carl showing her his phone and holding onto her

shoulders, and that person was the man stalking them earlier on.

Once the mysterious man had gotten what he wanted, he grinned in satisfaction before leaving.

He had to proceed with the rest of Carl's plan. With that, a malicious scheme targeting Joan began

to unfold.

In the meantime, Joan had no idea someone had taken a sneak shot of her; she was still somberly

discussing business with Carl.

However, Carl did not actually have a business deal with Joan's boss, so he could not raise any

substantial points during their discussion.

His words only made her confused, and she could not comprehend what he was trying to convey.

“Mr. Jefferson, you don’t seem well-informed about our company,” Joan pointed out honestly.

“That's true.” Carl chuckled. Of course I don't know anything.

Fortunately, he had figured out what services Joan's company provided before he came, so he did

not end up exposing himself.

“I've only briefly talked about the contract with your boss back then, so I don't really know the

details. I'm really sorry,” Carl muttered apologetically.

“That's understandable,” Joan replied.

Despite her words, she still sensed something strange about the man opposite her. However, she

did not dwell on it.

“I guess that's that for now, Mr. Jefferson,” Joan said. “Do consider how you'd want the design and

what style you would like. Then, please send the details to me, and I'll draft up something for you.

How about that?”
