Chapter 450
You Hit My Heart
"Okay." Joyce's brain was hot and she impulsively agreed to Justin.
In fact, Justin called her almost every day, and she had refused several
times. Today, perhaps because she heard that Luther was getting
engaged, her mood was affected. She simply agreed. Anyway, she just
had to face it sooner or later.
On the other end of the phone, Justin was clearly excited, "Joyce,
great, you've finally agreed. Then I'll meet you at Eden Apartment
tonight, I want to talk to you alone."
"Got it." Joyce didn't object either.
She didn't know why Justin's father, Garrett Henderson, had insisted on
seeing her, but she knew it had to be no good. The dark memories of
her past were firmly etched in the marrow of her bones.
Hiding was not an option, so it's better to end it.
"Okay, I will wait for you then."
"Hmm." Joyce frowned lightly and hung up the phone.
After receiving Justin's call, she felt duller and more irritable.
Even after she returned to her seat to work, she was still upset, and her
inspiration was all gone.
Near the end of the day, she unusually packed up early and got ready
to leave her work. In the past, she had never left work on time.
When she arrived downstairs, she happened to run into Luther talking
to a senior executive, and the two looked like they were talking
business. She caught a glimpse and decided to take a detour.
Luther was giving instructions about the company and saw Joyce
deliberately walking around him. He hurriedly finished his instructions
and caught up with her.
"Wait." He reached out, tugging on her arm.
"What do you want?" Joyce looked at his bright, starry eyes in surprise,
not understanding what he wanted to do again. The last time she
visited him in the hospital, it didn't go well, and then after that, she
hadn't seen him.
âYou moved out?" Luther asked, raising an eyebrow.
âYeah, I moved out a long time ago.â She tried to shake off his arm and
struggled a few times, blushing badly.
"Eden Apartment, why would I buy it?" He asked again. In the past two
days, he had learned a lot about the recent happenings in the R&S
Group, and the affairs about the company were straightforward, and
soon became clear. But what happened to the Warner family, as well as
to himself, were not all that clear to him, as others knew very little about
them.
For example, he recently purchased an Eden Apartment for twice the
market price, an outrageous price for an apartment far from the center
of the city. Bad location, and no investment value at all.
Although, this amount of money was literally nothing for him.
But he had absolutely no way to understand what could be the purpose
of such an investment?
Even Aaron wasn't sure why he was buying it, he was just following
orders.
The apartment was currently occupied by Joyce.
The only person who could know why he bought Eden Apartment was
Joyce.
Joyce sniffed and couldn't help but snicker, "Joke, how do I know why
you'd buy it? You didn't tell me beforehand either. I can't figure it out
even myself. Don't worry, I will pay the rent to you on time. If you mind,
I can move out next month.â Now, R&S was still quite generous about
her salary, and it was enough for her to support herself.
Luther was upset with Joyce's attitude and she seemed in a bad mood.
He grabbed her wrist hard and refused to let go.
âYou must know something, say it clearly. What, exactly, has happened
between us?" He stared, speaking in obvious displeasure.
Although he couldn't remember what had happened recently, Joyce's
stubborn nature hadn't changed at all, and it was still the same as when
he first met her. He still remembered that the night Justin disappeared,
it was clearly her own drunken madness, and she even threw him a
slap.
âI have nothing to say, Mr. Warner, you are going to be engaged next
month, should you not consider the feelings of your fiancée? Don't
affect your image by pulling and tugging with me in public at R&S
Group."
