Never Late, Never Away Chapter 1862
Chapter 1862 Talk To Me
Selena knew that Delilah had always been a sharp woman. Seeing that it was no use in hiding it
anymore, she told the truth. However, she summarized her entire evening in a single sentence.
"Well, I went to the washroom before I got off work. They must have thought that I had left so they
locked me in.â
In an instant, Delilah was filled with fury.
She's just an ordinary cashier! Why is her workload even more than that of a salesperson?
"Who locked you in?â Delilah demanded.
âIt's a co-worker of mine who is friendly with me. Don't worry, it wasn't intentional,â Selena hurriedly
said.
Though Delilah was unfamiliar with social situations like these and doesn't like all the schemes and
tricks involved in these interactions, she had experienced something similar herself and did not
believe Selena.
Somebody must have done it on purpose...
Delilahâs eyes flashed with cold anger.
The sun was already high up in the sky when Selena stretched and opened her eyes slowly.
"Oh, Selena! You're early today!â Freya said as she emerged from her office.
âI did not go home last night,â Selena replied stiffly.
Of course, Freya knew that Selena had spent the night here; it was her doing after all.
âYou didnât go home? Why?â she exclaimed with mock surprise.
Selena scoffed.
This woman is such a good actress!
âWell, I fell asleep in the break room and forgot to go home,â Selena answered blandly.
She did not mention the fact that she had been locked in.
Freya eyed the woman before her with suspicion.
I gotta admit sheâs pretty slick. She didn't even mention being locked in.
But so what? I am still going to make her life miserable. And no one can stop me!
Freya clenched her fists and glared at Selena.
âSelena, you can talk to me if there's anything bothering you. Although I'm not from a big and
powerful family, I still carry some authority within this village.â Delilah gazed at the woman before
her as her heart ached for her.
She understood Selena well. She knew that even when the latter was being wronged, she would not
tell anybody.
âMs. Young, it's nothing. Donât worry, nobody would dare pick on me with you here.â Selena hugged
the older woman tightly from behind.
All this time, Selena had treated Delilah as her own mother. As such, she wouldn't be the bearer of
bad news no matter how badly she was treated at the supermarket.
âBy the way, Ms. Young, I've heard that there was a person who always came looking for you at the
garden. What's that about?â Selena asked as she gazed curiously at Delilah.
âHe just wanted to buy some flowers. But I was unwilling to sell,â Delilah answered at once.
Village people were different from city folks. They just wanted to live plainly and peacefully.
Selena knew Delilah's reasons for not wanting to work with that man, so she did not enquire further.
âOh no, I'm running late!â Selena cried. âI'm heading out, Ms. Young.â
âBe careful on the road!â Delilah gazed at Selena, worry apparent in her eyes.
With a wave, Selena turned and disappeared from sight.
âLarry, we found something,â Caspian said excitedly to Larry in his office.
âSpeak.â Larry gazed outside the window. His eyes were brimming with confidence.
âThe boy is called Lucius,â Caspian said in a low voice. âHe's adopted by Ms. Young and heâs
studying in a school in the village. I heard that the school is very run down.â
Larry smiled with satisfaction. I'd thought so!
âCaspian, I want to speak to the headmaster immediately.â His gaze was stern as he stared at
Caspian.
Caspian found it hard to understand Larry's behavior.
However, Larry thought that Caspian did not need to understand his wishes. He just had to carry
them out.
