"Kane, cut the crap."
Joyce finally spoke up to stop it.
She gently bit her lower lip, and was indeed a little worried about how Justin would react when he found out that she had chosen to work with R&S.
Justin had a hard time coming out of the shadow of the past, and this was not what she wanted to see.
"Kane, if there's nothing else, you can go back first."
Joyce saw that the atmosphere was tense and getting out of hand, so she shot a wink at Kane.
“Anderson must be home alone, and it's time for you to go back and look after him.”
"I'll just sign the contract." She added.
She didn't want to make things more stagnant.
"Sister. I actually got some important business here."
Kane then remembered that he had left Anderson at home alone precisely because he had something important to give her in person.
"What is it?" Joyce wondered.
"Please take a look at this invitation."
Kane then took a red envelop out of his suit pocket.
He handed it to Joyce.
"What is this?" Joyce was even more surprised.
"This is an invitation sent by Mr. Robertson early in the morning, and he sent it directly to my place. It is evident that he has mapped us out very well, Sister." Kane looked pretty worried about it.
Joyce opened the envelop and read the invitation with a frown on her face.
"What did he say?" Luther asked.
"His wife, Charlotte, is giving a birthday party tomorrow night. And he wants us to be there."
Joyce said.
Last night, before they left Nine Up Bar, Otis did mention such a thing to them.
At that time Otis also said that they all had to be there and that would be an insult if they refused.
"Since you got an invitation, I should have gotten mine."
