Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1610
As Larry said that, he stalked toward Joan.
âHaha... Stop tickling me! It's ticklish! I'm ticklish! Haha... I'm sorry!â Joan hastily pleaded for mercy
as she dodged Larry's retaliation.
The entire Norton Residence turned lively thanks to the visit from the family of three.
After resting for a few days and keeping his parents company at home, Larry started getting busy
with his work.
Ever since he left, he had entrusted everything to Caspian. Thus, Caspian had been exhausted lately.
Upon learning that Larry and Joan were back, he called Larry at once.
âI heard that you're back, Boss?â Caspian hastily asked the moment the call was connected.
âI'm not back yet. Who told you that I'm back?â
Wanting to pull his leg, Larry didn't tell him the truth.
"Stop trying to dupe me, Boss. My subordinates had already told me about your return.â
âHaha, you're aware of it, huh?â Chuckling, Larry admitted, âI just came back a while ago.â
âThen, hurry up and come to the office, Boss! There are too many things to handle here, and my
brain simply can't take it!" Caspian griped.
Indeed, he was meant to be a general and not a commander. He had no problems executing
something, but it was exceedingly difficult for him when he had to make decisions.
âWell, just hold the fort for a few more days. I've just come back and am not feeling all that well, so I
need to rest for a couple of days.â
After learning that there werenât any major problems at the office, Larry decided to slack off for a
few more days since Caspian was more than capable of handling things.
âNo! Boss, I really can't take it anymore, so please come and save me!â
Caspian didn't believe Larry at all. Considering Bossâ constitution, if heâs feeling unwell just because
he'd gone on a vacation, pigs might fly!
"Okay, okay, I got it. Alright, let's wrap this up here. I'm hanging up.â
Not wanting to continue bickering with him, Larry hung up resolutely.
âBut Boss... Hello? Boss? Damn it!"
Hearing the disconnect tone on the other end of the phone, Caspian was seized by the urge to hit
someone.
Argh! Boss is simply trying to shirk his responsibilities! No, I can't allow that to happen!
However, no matter how many times he called Larry, Larry ignored his calls. Ugh! I feel as though
I'm going to lose my mind!
After leaving the donkey work to Caspian for a few days, Larry finally raised a white flag at his
fervent begging and came to the office.
That had Caspian so touched that he was on the verge of tears. Thank God, Boss has finally grown a
conscience!
Afraid that Larry would renege on his word, he beat a hasty retreat after greeting him. Yes! At long
last, I donât have to handle this mess anymore!
Seeing that, Larry shook his head in exasperation. Goodness, heâs so gutless that heâs doesn't at all
fit the mold of a bodyguard!
The moment he stepped into his office and spotted the documents piled on his table, he suddenly
understood why Caspian had taken off.
Flipping open a document randomly, he saw that the date indicated was actually two weeks ago.
Then, he opened another document, only to see that it was three weeks ago!
Larry was instantly stunned. What the hell? He wasn't helping me handle things at all! It's glaringly
obvious that he didnât do anything!
âCaspian!â Larry roared, his voice echoing in the entire building.
He initially wanted to take advantage of Caspian for a bit and push some work to him, but
unexpectedly, the joke was on him.
On the verge of tears, he inwardly swore that he would definitely get back at him the next time he
saw him.
Hearing his furious bellow as well, Caspian couldn't help shuddering. Phew! Thank God I hightailed
it out of there fast enough! Otherwise, I would've been severely reprimanded again if he had caught
me!
While he had been handling business matters on Larry's behalf, he had been adopting the attitude
of just getting by without having any high ambitions.
If it wasn't anything crucial or something that could be deferred, he would simply place it aside and
leave it for him to resolve himself when he came back.
That was truly a pain for Larry, and he had no choice but to work overtime for several days in a row
to clean up the mess Caspian left him.
At long last, he was finally done settling everything and planned to have a good rest at home.
After having breakfast, he wanted to return to bed to catch up on his sleep, but little did he expect
Joan to pull him out of bed.
