Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2108

Although Delilah did not know much about business, she definitely understood that profit meant a lot to a company. Other than charity organizations, no company could survive without making profits.

“Okay. Go to Joan and explain it to her. I can’t help you with this matter.” She looked away and gazed outside the window, sighing.

Lucius had already told her all the things that happened during the field trip. Sometimes, I’m quite worried that Joan might develop feelings for that guy, Caiden. Women are emotional; we tend to fall in love easily with the person who accompanies us, especially during moments of vulnerability.

“How’s Joan lately?” Larry asked tentatively.

How ridiculous! Joan is his wife, and yet, he is asking me how she is doing.

“You can ask her yourself.” With that, Delilah covered herself with the blanket and closed her eyes.

Larry sighed inwardly and left the room, dejected. I purposely rushed to the hospital to see Joan and tell her why I had missed the field trip. But now she is nowhere to be found, and I even got scolded by Ms. Young.

In the mall, Caiden came out of the fitting room and stood in front of a mirror, asking, “Joan, how about this one?”

“Looks good.” Joan smiled and gave him a thumbs-up.

Besides Larry, she had never given other men any clothes suggestions, not to mention that she was not even that close to Caiden yet.

Upon hearing her answer, he turned around and frowned at her in a joking manner. “Joan, how can you be so irresponsible? Every time I try on a new suit, the only comments you give are ‘good’ and ‘nice.’ Are you trying to make me buy all the clothes in this store?”

“No. With your good looks, I honestly think that you look awesome in whatever clothes you wear,” she hastily explained.

Caiden beamed the moment he heard her praise.

Did she just compliment me? Way to go, Caiden!

With a wide grin spread across his face, he took out the clothes he had tried on and showed them to her. “Joan, which one should I choose? White, black, or the pink one?”

That had put her in a tight spot.

Larry was the only man she had chosen clothes for, and that was because she was all too familiar with his style of dressing. However, for Caiden, she had absolutely no clue about his preference. Therefore, she could only give him a general answer.

“Of course you should choose the color that you like,” she replied placidly.

In an instant, his eyes dimmed.

Why is she being so careful with her words? Is she uncomfortable being with me? Or is she still thinking about Larry?

“What’s wrong, Joan? If you don’t feel like shopping with me, you can go back home and have a rest.” Caiden pretended to look hurt, trying to make her feel guilty.

Rubbing her neck awkwardly, Joan sneaked a glance at her watch and smiled faintly. “No, I’m fine. I just need to get back to the hospital to cook for Ms. Young later in the evening. It’s okay. We can continue to shop. Have you found anything you like?”

“Yeah, I like these three, but I don’t know which one fits me the best,” he stated, pointing at the suits in front of them.

She looked at the suits and pondered for a while. “Oh. I think I like the white one.”

Caiden touched the suit that she mentioned. Really? But I like the black one the most. Seems like we don’t have similar taste. What a bummer.

After seeing the hesitation in his eyes, she realized that the black suit was the one he preferred.

Hence, she quickly added, “However, the black one suits you, too. You look quite charming with it.”

Her words made his eyes light up with pleasure. We still get each other, don’t we?

“Sure.” He nodded and turned to the store’s employee. “Excuse me. I’d like to have this.”

While Caiden and Joan were shopping, Larry had decided to go back to his company after visiting Delilah in the hospital. Five minutes later, Caspian barged into his office with a twinkle in his eyes. “Larry, you’re finally back!”

“Uh-huh. How’s the company recently?” Larry asked, flipping through the documents on his desk.

After Caspian finished reporting to him, he was about to leave when Larry called out to him.
