After what seemed an eternity, she finally fell asleep. When she woke up the next day with the intention of asking Jake about Larry, she realized he had already left the villa. Why is he evading this matter? Sitting on the sofa, Joan appeared very concerned.
Joan losing her memory was doubtlessly good news to Della. And what excited her, even more, was that Jake had abducted Joan. Therefore, even if Larry was eager to find that woman, it would definitely take him a considerable amount of time.
"I want to see Larry!" Della yelled at the lobby with an overbearing tone.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Duff. Mr. Norton has specified earlier that those without an appointment shall not be allowed to enter," the receptionist stopped her and said.
Damn it, Larry! You actually came up with such a lousy trick against me? You're taking me too lightlylDo you really think you can stop me with this little skit? The woman snorted and straightened her clothes, glancing around as if she was waiting for something.
"Look, there's someone sneaking in over there!" She pointed at a man some distance away.
The receptionist turned around immediately upon hearing that, ready to call the security over the landline. Just as she turned around, Della ran in in a trice.
"Hey, Ms. Duff! You can't go in!" The receptionist’s tone was extremely remorseful.
Messing with me?You have a long way to go! Della put her hands together and walked
into Larry's office.
"So, it seems you're quite clever, aren't you?" In the corridor, Caspian looked at her contemptibly and uttered lowly.
"Better than you, at least!" With that, Della walked past him.
"You!" Rooted to the spot, Caspian was infuriated.
Leaning back on the sofa in his office, Larry was taking a rest with his eyes closed; he was totally unaware of Delia's arrival. The woman tiptoed over and hunkered down beside him, closely observing the face that got her daydreaming. Her lips curled into a gratified curve unwittingly.
Although he disliked her and even hated her sometimes, for some reason, her affection toward him wouldn't seem to diminish.
