Chapter 400

Meanwhile.

"Ahem." Juanita pretended to cough lightly twice, "I'll go ahead and get

busy.”

After saying that, she consciously walked aside to avoid the

awkwardness.

Joyce frowned, hesitated for a moment, walked in the direction of the

corridor and pressed the answer button with her slender finger.

"Joyce, let's have dinner tonight, okay?" Justin's voice was as gentle as

a spring breeze.

"Sorry, I have to work late tonight.” Joyce coldly refused.

"How about I meet you downstairs at your apartment in the evening

and have a late dinner together?" He asked again.

“I have a design draft to catch up on. It may be late, or I may not come

home if it's too late and just sleep in the lounge. Don't you wait for me."

She politely refused.

"Okay, I'll contact you on the weekend. Joyce, don't stay up late, take

care of yourself." Justin did not sound upset at all but concerned.

"Yeah, got it." Joyce hung up the phone.

Turning around, she saw Juanita standing a short distance away

looking around and occasionally towards herself.

She shook her head and smiled softly as she walked over to Juanita.

"Curious, and too embarrassed to ask?" She reached out a finger and

patted Juanita's quick-witted little head.

"Heh." Juanita gave a dry laugh as she glanced at Joyce's still-

burgeoning belly, a soft glint in her eyes, "The belly isn’t getting any

bigger at all.”

“The doctor said that I was relatively thin and that my belly would not

bulge significantly until about five months." Joyce explained.

"Just now, was it Justin who called? Even I have heard of his great

name. I heard that he looks noble and mild and has an unworldly

elegance, but unfortunately I have never seen him in person. Is it really,

his baby?" Juanita scratched her hair awkwardly. She finally couldn't

hold back and asked directly out.

"No." Joyce shook her head, "We're not the kind of relationship

everybody thinks we are."

"Oh." Juanita took it in stride and asked no more questions. She always

felt in her heart that as long as the baby wasn't Justin's, there was hope

between Joyce and the boss.

"How are you and Karl doing?" Joyce suddenly asked.

She had just met Karl yesterday. She knew that Juanita liked Karl and

had been chasing him. Naturally it should not be any big deal for a girl

like her, and she wondered how they had been doing.

“I'm ... still working on it. Asked him out for dinner a few times. Although

he did not seem very interested in me and always asked me about

things during dinner, I'm happy that he came out." Juanita's eyes

seemed to be overflowing with tenderness when she mentioned Karl.

“Look at you, you're really in love!" Joyce couldn't help but poke her

temple again, "You're so cute and loved by everyone, he'll definitely like

you."

"Hey, he doesn't reject me. But I think that maybe I'm still some way

from his ideal perfect girlfriend.”

"Really?" Joyce stared in disbelief.

"Yes, I once asked him what type of girl he likes. He said he likes girls

who are elegant, brave, calm, and collected. I don't fit into any of them,

Joyce, don't you think that the criteria he put forward are completely in

line with your character?" Juanita smiled coquettishly and bumped

Joyce's shoulder.

Joyce froze.

Elegant, brave, calm, and collected? How could Karl like this type? It

didn't fit him at all, it's hard to imagine.
