Never Late, Never Away Chapter 2247

“Don’t misunderstand. You know men, we can’t control ourselves sometimes,” Larry explained sheepishly.

Larry was at a loss for words. That was the only explanation he could give to excuse that moment of recklessness.

“Yes, you couldn’t hold yourself back. That’s why you did those things with Joan in broad daylight,” Jessica scoffed.

“No, we were in the office, all right? It wasn’t as awful as you’re trying to make out!” Larry snapped.

“You didn’t lock the office door. What’s the difference whether you were inside or outside of the room, doing what you did?” Jessica sneered.

Why couldn’t they have just done whatever they wanted to do in private? What were they trying to do? Any normal person would have gotten jealous from seeing that! What with an attractive-looking man like Larry, Jessica reflected.

“Fine. Let’s not dwell on this anymore. How is your side holding up? Have you informed everyone yet? Was there any outcome?” Larry inquired, steering the conversation away to another topic entirely.

“Yes, they’re all aware,” Jessica answered shortly.
