Dustin knew all too well about Abelyn's love for snacks and fruits.
“Thank you, Dustin!” she said while making a thankful gesture at him.
Honestly, these two make quite a great pair! Joan thought to herself with a chuckle as she went into the kitchen.
“What the hell?” Larry jumped out of his seat angrily.
On his table were pictures of Joan and Dustin shopping at the supermarket.
“What's wrong, Larry?” Caspian got up from the sofa with a confused look on his face.
Larry slowly walked towards the window and stared at the sky above before closing his eyes in an attempt to calm himself down.
“Joan is back?” Caspian asked in surprise when he saw the pictures.
“Go look into it right now! I want to know where Joan is!” Larry ordered coldly.
Oh, boy... He looks really angry this time... Not wanting to face his wrath, Caspian ran out of his office and began his search.
“Hey, Jessica! Did you know about Joan's return to the country?”
Caspian sounded really anxious on the phone.
“What? She's back?” Jessica exclaimed in shock.
I'll take that as a no, then... But if Joan is back, why didn't she go home? Why didn't she come to see Larry? Is she facing some sort of trouble?
Caspian narrowed his eyes in bewilderment.
“Where is she right now?” Jessica asked worriedly.
“I don't know, but she seems to be with Dustin...”
How is that possible? I know for a fact that Joan and Dustin are just friends!
“You'd better watch what you say, Caspian! If Larry hears you, he might...”
“He already knows,” Caspian cut her off before she could finish.
