“I'm very free actually,” she replied.
“But I'm busy,” Larry told her curtly.
“Then you carry on with your work.” Della put the breakfast she prepared on the table, took a quick look at him, and left.
Even spending a brief moment with Larry was enough for her.
Caspian sighed as he watched Della left. She's a fine young lady herself, but why Larry of all people? He already has Joan!
“Caspian!” Larry's commanding voice shook him back to reality.
“Yes?” Caspian came into the office right after he heard Larry.
“What has Joan been doing lately?” “She's spending a lot of her time at the photography studio. It seems like everything is going on well for her.”
“Alright. That's all. You may leave.”
It had been a long time since Larry had a good talk with Joan. His schedule was so packed he did not have time to show her he cared, so he could only get updates about her from Caspian.
As for Della, although there were some rumors going on outside, Larry felt there was nothing to worry about since his conscience was clear.
Besides, he had repeatedly told Della that it was impossible between them.
“Mr. Norton, someone's here to see you,” the assistant announced.
“Let him in.”
Before the assistant could ask the person to come in, someone threw the door open.
“Mr. Norton.”
A familiar voice rang through the office. Larry put down his pen and waved at his assistant to go out.
“What brings you here?” Larry asked.
Abelyn had been expanding her influences abroad, and Larry knew full well about it. It was unexpected that she would come back all of a sudden.
