Chapter 340

Joyce left the conference room alone after that.

She wanted to go back to the automotive project team, but halfway

there, she received a phone call from a housing agent.

She looked around, walked to an unoccupied place and pressed the

answer button.

"Hey, any news?" She inquired.

"Miss Knowles, I've checked several properties before and none of

them could meet your requirements. Just now they listed a new

property. One bed, near the subway, and only twenty minutes from the

R&S Group. It is very convenient for you. It's just that it's in a prime

location and the price is relatively high. Do you have any interest?"

"What's the name? How much?" Joyce asked.

"Blue Ocean Apartment, and a one-bed room costs six thousand a

month.” The agent said.

"Six thousand!" Joyce whimpered, "I told you I want something about

two or three thousand."

She had heard of Blue Ocean Apartment. She had studied all the

nearby houses. Blue Ocean Apartment is a white-collar gathering

place. It was great and its environment was beautiful, but the price was

on the high side.

"Sorry, Miss Knowles. Properties with the right price would be much

farther away and there is really nothing that meets your needs at the

moment. Since you are in a hurry to move, we don’t have much choice

here, so why don't you wait a while longer, give me a week or two,

there is always something suitable.”

A week or two? Joyce thought, she was afraid she would not be able to

wait that long. She remembered how Charlotte had cried and knelt

down to her before, and really couldn't delay any longer.

"Can we rent it for two or three months first?" Joyce asked, intending to

move in as soon as possible and move again later when she came

across a better option.

"Miss Knowles, this is fine. Blue Ocean Apartment allows you to rent for

as few as three months, with a deposit of one month. Do you think it's

okay?" The agent asked.

"OK, it's settled, I'll rent for three months first. When can we move?

Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?" Joyce asked.

"Anytime is fine. Don't you need to go to have a look first?" The agent

asked again.

"No, no need. You can just send the video of the house to me. I'll take a

look later and transfer the deposit to you. I want everything to settle

down as soon as possible. I'll go over and sign the contract tonight.”

Joyce said.

"Okay." The agent replied.

Joyce hung up and a few seconds later, the agent sent a video of the

house.

She opened it up, her long fingers sliding the screen. The house looked

tidy and neat, and the decoration was also good. Overall she was very

satisfied.

"What are you looking at?"

She was watching carefully when an ice-cold voice came from behind

her.

She was so startled that her hand shook and the phone accidentally

slipped off.

Luther saw it, and instantly caught her phone and picked it up. When

he saw the video of the house of her phone, his handsome face

instantly turned bad.

Joyce turned her head and quickly snatched the phone back from his

hand. A trace of guilt flashed across her face. But why? They were

never a real couple. Now she was looking for a place and moving out,

what could be wrong with that?

Luther's original smile froze at the corners of his lips, “You're looking for

a house? Want to move out?"

Joyce put the phone behind her back and raised her eyes without

saying anything. Strange, obviously she got all the reasons in the world

but when she looked at him in the eyes, she could not say a word.

What was wrong with her?
