Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2255

It's just an affair. Don't sweat it. Nothing is more important than having my own source of income.

Joan assured herself inwardly while bustling about.

“Don’t worry, I'm fine,” she said to Dustin.

The man raised an eyebrow disbelievingly. Yeah, she seems really calm, but I bet she’s having an

emotional breakdown on the inside. Staring at the woman in front of him, he felt his heart ache for

her.

I know Joan too well. If she has a choice, she'll never show her emotions on her face.

“Joan, I'm here for you if you ever need anything. You can always rely on me.” Dustin gently patted

her shoulder.

In an instant, a warm and fuzzy feeling shot through Joan.

In retrospect, I'm really grateful for Dustin's companionship over the years. If it wasn't for him, I

wouldn't have understood many things in life.

“Okay, sure,” she nonchalantly replied as she kept her head down,

A few colleagues gazed at her with worry written all over their faces.

All this while, they thought she and Larry respected and loved each other deeply. Never had they

expected Larry to have an affair.

“Men are just unreliable, so women have to learn to make money themselves. Otherwise, who is

going to fend for us if we get a divorce?” one of them babbled on.

"Stop talking. She's already feeling sad,” another employee whispered.

Throughout the day, Joan wasn't in the right frame of mind. Yet, no one blamed her. Dustin even

got someone else to redo whatever she had done.

There were many employees in the supermarket, mostly married women. Hence, most of them

could put themselves in Joan's shoes. They were normally very friendly to her, treating her as their

biological sister.

Nevertheless, a handful of the younger and good-looking ones were jealous of her close friendship

with Dustin.

“Joan, what on earth are you doing? If you don't feel like working, go home and sleep! Don't stick

around and waste everybody's time!” Finally, a young woman couldn't resist bawling at her.

Huh? What did I do to make her so angry? Perplexed, Joan swiftly turned her head around and

glanced at her curiously. “What's wrong?”

“Look at what you've done! How many products have you placed wrongly? The manager asked me

not to tell you, but to rearrange the products behind you quietly. I'm busy too! I have a lot on my

plate, yet I have to come over and help you. Can you be more careful? It's just an affair! Don't make

a big fuss out of it! There's no good husband in our society anymore!” she ridiculed in a serious

tone.

She was right. The people in the current society were too impetuous and fickle-minded. A long-

lasting and unchanging love was only a lie.

“I'm sorry. Go ahead and do what you need to. I'll settle this myself,” Joan said with embarrassment.

She quickly retreated her steps and reorganized the items.

This woman is annoying. What's the big deal that her husband has a mistress? She can do the same

too. If she really can't stand it, get a divorce! No matter who leaves or betrays you, life still goes on.

With her lips pouted, the young woman stomped away from the area which Joan was in charge of.

“Can't you be more compassionate?”

"Why should I? I was just pointing out the truth!”

"Okay, okay, okay... Whatever you say is right.”

Another colleague tried to reason with the young woman.

In the meantime, Joan was still doing her job, but more carefully now.

I got it. No matter what, I have to live well on my own. She's right. No one truly can't live without

another person.

Soon, it was time to get off from work. All the employees in the supermarket were getting ready to

go home, stealing glances at Joan from time to time.
