Chapter 480
You Hit My Heart
"What a coincidence that we ran into each other just as you arrived.
What did you come to see today? Want to hang out together?" Joyce
was very enthusiastic, a far cry from her usual self. It was obvious that
Charlotte had lied. She had seen them clearly coming out of the jewelry
store together, and Charlotte must not have known that she had
actually watched them for a while before she lied about just coming to
Skymall.
If they didnât have something to hide, why would they lie?
Shopping together? Charlotte dropped her jaw and had no idea what to
say at all. Since she met Joyce, she had never shopped with Joyce,
Joyce suddenly proposed to shop together, she did not know how to
answer.
"Yeah, fine. What do you want to shop for though?" Charlotte
stammered back.
âJust kidding, I'm here for business today. I want to see some car
decorations. You two take your time shopping, and I'll leave you to it."
Joyce smiled and waved her hand, followed by a few more glances at
Ricky, trying to remember his height, body, facial features.
When she left, she deliberately walked towards Ricky and brushed past
him.
Then, a moment before approaching Ricky.
"Oops." Joyce deliberately let out a low cry, pretending to break her
ankle, and planted her whole body towards Ricky.
Ricky did not expect Joyce would deliberately fall, he subconsciously
tried to dodge, but still, he was a moment too late, and Joyce fell right
into his embrace.
Joyce grabbed Ricky's right arm and pretended to stand still with great
difficulty, then she hurriedly apologized, "Sorry, sorry, I wore a new pair
of shoes today, and I could not stand still."
âIt's okay." Ricky couldn't help but answer Joyce and had to speak up.
Joyce jolted and winced when she heard Ricky's voice. Why? His voice
gave her an inexplicable sense of dread, as well as a sense of
familiarity, as if she had heard it somewhere before. It was low and
thick, giving out a hell-like terror.
Moreover, just now she bumped into him on purpose, and his body
smelled faintly of perfume, exactly the same as Charlotte's.
In addition, the feeling of his limbs also gave her an inexplicable sense
of familiarity. Why exactly was that?
Ricky held back the pain, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead,
because Joyce just tugged on the gunshot wound on his right arm. Last
time he killed Thomas, after being chased by the police all the way, he
was accidentally shot, and still had not fully recovered.
Joyce noticed his expression. He seemed to be clenching her teeth and
holding back from pain, she exclaimed, "Uh, I'm sorry, you have an
injury on your arm, don't you? I accidentally touched it just now, are you
okay, do you want me to take a look at it for you."
When she said that, she went to pull Ricky's sleeve.
"No need."
Ricky looked alert and immediately took a step back.
âNo, he's fine." Charlotte shouted out at the same time, she naturally
knew that gunshot wound on his right arm had not fully recovered, and
she just could not let Joyce see his wound.
"Oh. Sorry." Joyce gave a dry laugh, "Just as long as it's okay, I'll be off
then."
After saying that, she spontaneously turned around and left.
Charlotte let out a long sigh of relief. It's bad luck. She was in a good
mood to go out for a stroll, but she met Joyce and her mood was
spoiled.
"Miss Meyer, she's gone far." Ricky narrowed his eyes, his body lit up
with danger. A keen instinct told him that Joyce must have bumped into
him on purpose.
"Ricky, will she be suspicious?" Charlotte asked uneasily.
