Just as the atmosphere was getting cold and stagnant, the phone rang.
Luther took his cell phone out of his suit pocket.
This was Joyce's cell phone. Last night Joyce's cell phone was kicked away by that masked thug, and it was Aaron who picked it up. The screen was broken, but it could still do the job.
When he saw that it was Charlotte calling, he wrinkled his nose and answered, "Yes?"
"Luther? Joy, where's Joyce …" On the other end of the line, Charlotte clearly froze a bit. How come the person who answered the phone was Luther?
Luther put the phone to Joyce's ear, "Charlotte's calling."
Joyce glanced suspiciously. What was Charlotte doing calling her so early in the morning?
The two of them hardly ever called each other. Even if it was about work, they usually talked about everything clearly in the project team.
"What's the matter? Anything wrong?" Joyce asked.
"Oh yes, my mother wants to meet you. When would you be free to come to my house for afternoon tea?" On the other end of the phone, Charlotte asked through clenched teeth. She tried her best not to let her tension show through, and she was holding back very hard.
Joyce was really with Luther. Thomas missed last night and called her later.
Charlotte didn't know who saved Joyce, and she couldn't ask Joyce about last night, so she finally came up with a reason to call Joyce in the morning to confirm.
She didn't expect that it was really Luther who saved Joyce, and what she feared most still happened.
Why was Joyce so lucky to be drugged! Wouldn't the two ......
Thinking about it, she was so angry that she wanted to crush the screen.
Useless Thomas!
What a bargain for Joyce!
"To your house?" Joyce was stunned at first. She hesitated, frowned lightly, and refused, "It's not appropriate for me to go to your house, but we can meet at the cafe opposite the company in a few days, okay?"
Charlotte's mother, Cecelia, whom she once met at Riveria Haze's party, had actually left a very deep impression on her. She was a woman of elegance and nobility and she certainly loved her daughter a lot.
Cecelia really wanted to see her, and she was afraid it would be because of Charlotte's pregnancy.
