Chapter 1136
You Hit My Heart
Twins Cafe.
Joyce arrived first. She sat on the second floor, ordered two cold brew
lattes and sat by the window waiting for Juanita.
A few moments later, she saw Juanita pull up downstairs in her
Porsche, and then she grabbed her brown briefcase, stormed out of the
car and jogged into the cafe.
Joyce smiled. No matter how long it had been, Juanita still looked so
cute when she always dashed everywhere.
Juanita rushed into the box, panting, "Sorry I'm late."
She put her briefcase on the couch across from Joyce and sat down,
"Went out and took a few calls. They just kept talking, and the
nonsense was annoying as hell."
âYou are now so busy, and you are also the president of the charity
commission. It's only right to be a little busy."
Joyce laughed.
"Donât make fun of me! I am not as smart as you are. Work is just fun
for you, but for me, it is torture. Err!" Juanita waved her hand and
complained.
"Why are you free today and you even call me out?" Taking a sip of
coffee, Juanita praised, âWow, the cold brew coffee tastes so good.â
âLuther went to see Karl, so I came out to look around." Joyce didn't
beat around the bush and asked, "How did the two of them get
involved, Juanita? You're living with Karl now. Do you know why?"
âLuther? Karl? The two of them meeting privately? We haven't been in
touch with each other since we left Khebury. Strange.â Juanita
scratched her short hair, amazed.
Joyce teased, "Look at you. You don't even know what your pillow
partner is doing every day. You're too careless for that."
"No, what pillow partner? We don't sleep in the same room, okay?"
Juanita could not withstand the teasing and her face immediately
turned red.
âLiving with a handsome man for so long and you haven't even got it?
That's so unlike you." Joyce continued to snicker.
"Not really, we have ..." Juanita said, and suddenly she realized that
she was being wound up by Joyce. She blushed even more and said
with a huff, "You just know how to tease me. I am not going to answer
your question anymore! Humph!"
"Don't be angry. Don't be angry. Just kidding." Joyce's mood suddenly
got better after days of depression.
Sure enough Juanita always made her happy, and their friendship was
the best spice in life.
"Wait a minute. I remember something, Joyce. It's most likely because
of the case of Ms. Armstrong!" Juanita slapped her head and had an
epiphany.
"Ms. Armstrong? Which Ms. Armstrong?" wondered Joyce.
At this question, Juanita cautiously watched Joyce's face, "You don't
know?"
"What am I supposed to know?" Joyce was even more puzzled.
"Karl didn't tell you?"
Joyce shakes her head.
It was Juanitaâs turn to be surprised.
"How come? Obviously he told me not to tell you yet, and he said that
he would investigate further and then tell you personally.â
Joyce frowned, still shaking her head.
"Ms. Armstrong? The only Ms. Armstrong I know is from the Khebury
Orphanage ..."
Juanita interrupted.
"Yes, that's her. She died, inside the reservoir near the venue of the
charity party. It took a few days for the body to float downstream to the
shallows before it was found by a scavenger, and I went to claim the
body and notify the Khebury Orphanage.â
Juanita's words were like a thunderbolt to Joyce.
"What?!" Joyce was stunned, she had seen Ms. Armstrong at the
charity party, and because she was wearing a mask to conceal her
identity, she couldn't go up and greet her.
