In the Bentley, Luther sped along, driving out far from Canal Square before he stopped at the side of the road.
Joyce placed the lily bouquet in her hand in the back seat of the car. She unbuckled her seat belt to relieve the pressure and used deep breathing to calm her disturbed heartbeat.
"There won't be any more reporters coming after us here."
After Luther finished, he got out of the car, went to the trunk to get water, and handed a bottle of water to Joyce.
Just after all the mess, he noticed her dry lips, and the thirsty and tired look on her face.
She didn't think he could be quite considerate. Anyway, Joyce took the mineral water, since she was indeed very thirsty.
"Thank you for helping me out just now." Joyce took a few sips of water, gently wiped the corners of her lips, and asked, "Are we still going to the Civil Affairs Bureau next?"
Luther turned his head and his deep eyes looked into her eyes.
He snorted, "How is that possible? A divorce now?"
Joyce thought for a moment and explained, "The marriage license being exposed has absolutely nothing to do with me, please don't misunderstand."
She looked very much like she had a vested interest in being exposed as married at such an important moment as receiving an award.
If he felt she was relying on him and did not want a divorce.
Luther gave her a contemptuous look.
How could he possibly think that she had leaked the information herself and then let herself be surrounded by all the reporters at the podium?
He did not even have just any logic?
"What now?" Joyce looked helpless, "How long does it take to get to the application?"
"No divorce at the moment, and the timing is unclear." He propped one hand on his forehead, closed his eyes in annoyance, and said faintly, "You were elected Khebury Shining Star and became a Khebury ambassador. This event has improved the image of R&S Group even more. As the chief president, and getting married to you, it is actually a good thing for the group. Not surprisingly, there will be a lot of media hype. With that, the R&S Group stock is bound to soar, bringing in huge gains."
