After the dinner with Karl.
She did not return to the R&S Group headquarters. She did not want to work overtime today. Last night she had only three hours of sleep, and then in the morning after the Thomas incident, she had been in the police station until the afternoon. Now she was exhausted.
By now she was so sleepy that she yawned all the way back to Eden Apartment.
Arriving at Eden Apartment, she got out of the car and looked around, relieved that Justin hadn't come tonight.
Actually he had sent her a few messages, but she was so busy that she did not have the time to reply, until just now in the cab, she sent him a message. She said she was tired today and would talk about it some other time.
Justin then replied with a message telling her to get an early night and said nothing more.
Joyce took a deep breath of the fresh, moist night air. She really didn't have the energy to deal with Justin tonight, and now she just wanted to get to sleep.
She hurried back to her apartment, and she opened the door.
In the past few days, she had added some furnishings and fabrics to make the whole apartment look very cozy.
When she got home, she didn't even have the strength to turn on the light. She groped her way to the bathroom and took a quick shower, after which she wrapped herself in a bath towel and pushed open the door to her room.
She was so tired and sleepy that she was ready to fall back to sleep.
The moment she lay down on the bed, she suddenly realized the presence of danger, and her whole body was instantly awake from sleepiness in fright.
Something's wrong, there's someone in her bed!
