Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1655

It was the first time in his life to enter a bar. He used to tell Joan that he looked down upon those

who came to such places. When Joan asked him why, he said, “It's because they are lazy and selfish.

They don’t work hard but choose to numb themselves with alcohol in such places. So, they're

merely losers left out by society... they're the pest to society.”

Gazing at several bottles of vodkas in front of him, Larry laughed at himself again. How could I look

down on them? Well, I became an idiot who has fallen for the tricks, just like all of them. I became

someone whom I loathed the most.

If the blue vodkas resembled the vast sea, he was the traveler drowning in the deep sea who

couldn't clutch at any straws.

Larry somehow saw the reflection of a beautiful lady's face in his wine glass. After staring at the face

in silence for quite some time, he gulped down the wine and murmured, “Joan, you made me into

what I am now.”

Meanwhile, Caspian came to the company to visit Larry as he felt guilty. Nancy told him that the

misunderstanding between men remained unsolved often because they either felt embarrassed or

dared not speak first. Besides, since Caspian trusted their friendship and brotherhood that had

lasted for years, he mustered up his courage to be here.

“I'm sorry, sir. Mr. Norton has left for quite some time.”

“Do you know where he went?”

The assistant put on an apologetic smile and said, “I'm sorry. Mr. Norton didn't disclose it. If you

really have important matters, you may wait for him in the president's office for a while.”

Caspian waved his hands and said, “It's okay. I can come again next time as it's not an urgent

matter.”

The assistant still smiled at him politely. “Sure. I'm sorry, but would you excuse me? I've to get back

to work.”

Larry nodded in response while thinking to himself. Larry is a workaholic who keeps immersing

himself in piles of documents. Since when has he learned to get some rest? The night had fallen

when he wanted to leave Larry's office. Suddenly, he saw that something in the office was not

turned off, thus giving out a faint glow.

As the door was partially closed, he entered the room and saw a white laptop that wasn't shut

down. He realized the glow came from it and was reflected on the wall.

"Since when did Boss become so careless? Why did he forget to shut down the laptop before

leaving?” Caspian murmured.

When Caspian grabbed the mouse, he saw a photo on the laptop of a man and a woman.

Apparently, they visited a market together.

“Is that Joan? And Dustin?”

After investigating Dustin thoroughly and obtaining his personal information, Caspian always saw

Dustin as his archenemy. Caspian believed that Dustin definitely had a poor character since he had

the cheek to ruin the relationship of others.

A moment later, Caspian mustered up the courage to look at the next photos. There were more

than twenty photos of Joan and Dustin, which were taken from various angles.

Click, click! He immediately took out his phone to snap pictures of everything, including the photos,

email address, and the sender. After saving all of the pictures, he sent one of them to Nancy and a

voice message to briefly explain the situation. Also, he asked Nancy to think about where Larry

would have gone.

Now I understand why Boss left without shutting down his laptop. If I were him, I would smash my

laptop and punish the jerk myself.

Caspian felt restless as he walked out of Larry's office. Will he take things too hard and harm

himself? No, he’s not that vulnerable. He only needs some time to calm himself down. Caspian said

to himself as though he wanted to have peace of mind.

After that, he quickly hailed a cab and told the taxi a few locations. He went to different places in

the same cab to save time.

First, Caspian went to Larry's house. However, he couldn't enter it because the gate was locked.

Although he could enter the house of Larry's parents, Finnick and his wife told him that Larry had

not visited them for a few days. They even asked if Caspian knew what Larry was up to recently.

Caspian came up with a story as he dared not tell them what had actually happened.
