After Mr. Clark was gone…
Joyce turned around and said with concern, "Juanita, are you okay?"
"It's okay, Joyce. You're here just in time."
Juanita shook her head.
"Karl, I'm sorry. I didn't have time to hang up the phone and make you worries and you had to run all the way here."
Juanita bowed her head to Karl and apologized.
Karl's arm tightened, his anger not going down at all, "What are you talking about? Should I stand by while you're in danger? What kind of person do you think I am?"
"I, I didn't mean that. You have a special status, and I'm afraid Mr. Clark will ask that Mr. Moore of the Military Intelligence Agency to investigate you. You rashly ran here, and now Mr. Clark knew our relationship and he knew about Joyce. I am afraid that it will affect our plans."
Juanita's voice got lower as she spoke.
"Is the plan important, or is your safety important?" Joyce also got angry and went up and knocked Juanita's little head, "Mr. Clark obviously wants to force you to marry him by corrupting your reputation and then spreading the news recklessly. This is no small matter."
"Juanita!" Karl shouted out her name, "I didn't think you'd have the guts to do that! This must not be the first time he's ever hit on you, so why haven't you ever mentioned it before."
"I, I thought he wouldn't dare ..." Juanita stammered.
"Dare?" Karl couldn't help but retort, "A horny old man, what do you think he wouldn't dare?"
"I'm sorry. I know I am wrong."
Juanita saw that she had made him so unhappy and hastened to admit her mistake.
She had always been very good at admitting her mistakes and, moreover, she was always very quick to do so.
Karl stared at her helplessly, and he was really unable to do anything about it.
"By the way, your wedding date has been decided? When is it?"
Joyce heard Karl mention it earlier and she asked curiously.
"Next month. Our parents are in quite a hurry."
Karl said back.
