Is she embarrassed again? Larry observed her and smiled. It was not our home, after all, so we shouldn't occupy the space for too long. He then called out to Dustin and Abelyn.
"What is it?" Dustin and Abelyn rushed out of the room.
"Thank you for everything," Larry said.
"No problem! Just remember to pass me some door gifts when you both decide to tie the knot!" Abelyn smiled.
Huh? Who said I was going to marry him? Joan looked at them questioningly as she never said that she was going to marry Larry.
Larry continued to exchange a few words with Dustin and Abelyn before he left. Joan was a little sad as she stared at Larry's figure leaving. I must have gone mad. I've only met this guy a few times and now I have such thoughts?
"What's wrong, Joan? Isn't he handsome?" Abelyn asked softly as she cling onto Joan's arm.
Yup, he is pretty handsome.
"Handsome? You must be kidding me?" Joan immediately shook off Abelyn's arm and quickly walked towards the kitchen. She did not want them to see her flushed face.
Larry headed to the office after meeting Joan and he was tailed by two cars as expected.
"Larry, someone's following you!" Caspian said anxiously.
"I know," Larry answered.
"Would you like me to handle it?" Caspian asked.
"No worries. I'll take care of it!" Larry replied as he stepped on the gas.
Three cars were seen speeding across the road. Larry then turned into a corner and got rid of them.
