“Then did you feel a deep emotional connection with each other, and hope that you'll be together forever?” continued Joan.
“Of course! I would lay down my life for Boss! And admittedly, I did hope that we'd be together forever.”
Too bad those days won't ever happen again. Caspian looked down on the ground and sighed wistfully at that thought.
“I can't believe this! I would have never expected you to be this type of person!” gasped Joan before glaring at Caspian. “I'm warning you, Larry already has a fiancee, so don't even think about it!”
What? What does this have anything to do with what we were saying? Caspian was utterly
baffled and confused.
However, he caught on immediately the second he noticed the sly smile on Joan's face.
“That was not what I meant. Don't misunderstand me, I do not swing that way. I don't like Boss at all!” Caspian quickly explained with a straight face, clearly not amused at Joan's little joke.
“Hahahahaha...”
Joan broke into a peal of hysterical laughter, clutching her stomach as it was starting to ache for laughing so hard.
“What were you guys talking about? You sure are in a good mood.” Larry smiled as he asked Joan. He was returning from the car with the first aid kit in his hand when he heard Joan's magnetic and irresistible laughter. He then turned his head towards Caspian and shot him a glare, “Also, what do you mean, you don't like me at all?”
"1-1 didn't mean that I don't like you! Wait, no... I don't like you! I mean-” stuttered Caspian before sighing heavily, not knowing how to explain the situation. With misery written all over his face, Caspian shot a pleading look at Joan.
“Ahahahaha...” Joan laughed harder at Caspian's loss for words.
Caspian opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Larry.
“Shut up. Roll up your shirt again. Let me deal with your wound first,” ordered Larry.
Caspian instantly snapped his mouth shut and
obediently rolled up his shirt, not daring to defy Larry's instructions.
Larry stopped speaking as well, concentrating as he wrapped up Caspian's wound.
