Chapter 1998: Opening a New Company

Joyce returned to her study and slumped into the office chair in front of her desk. She was covered in sweat, feeling hot and slightly annoyed, which only made her even hotter.

Originally planning to try on wedding dresses in the afternoon, she had intended to visit JK Intelligence. But now, she had been drained of all her energy and had no desire to move. She would have to work tomorrow. She seriously suspected that he had done this on purpose, finding every possible way to keep her at home.

Oh well.

Joyce opened her computer and decided not to go out today. Instead, she would handle some business online. Alisha's shooting coach, Chinn, would arrive in the evening, so she needed to make arrangements.

She opened her email and browsed through her messages, working for a short while.

Suddenly, the video call icon on her desktop lit up. The caller was none other than Kane.

Joyce hesitated for a moment before answering the call. On the other end of the video call, Kane's young, vibrant face appeared.

"Hey, sis, good afternoon!" Kane's voice was clear and cheerful.

Joyce frowned. "It's the middle of the night over there. Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I can't sleep, I miss you," Kane replied.

"Stop being cheeky. What do you want?" Joyce scolded.

"Sis, you're not being considerate enough. I heard that Wilson and Cullen are almost a month old, and you didn't even inform me! I was planning to ask you in a couple of days, thinking it was your due date. I only found out when Andres told me while we were playing online! I think I might be the last one to know!" Kane complained.

Joyce apologized, feeling genuinely sorry. "I forgot to tell you. I gave birth a month early and was too busy at the time. It completely slipped my mind."

Kane felt even more aggrieved. "You really forgot about me. You left me behind in Mufron! Not cool at all."

Joyce couldn't argue with that. "Sorry about that. What do you want? I'll try to make it up to you."

Kane, relenting, said, "Never mind. Talking about it might hurt our relationship. Sis, you look tired. Is it because of the baby? Taking care of a newborn must be exhausting."

Joyce shook off her fatigue. However, it had nothing to do with taking care of a child. It was mostly due to someone annoying!

"Yeah, a little bit. By the way, how is the situation at JK Intelligence and Mufron now?" she asked.

"With me there, do you really need to worry? The orders keep increasing, and three new technologies have been implemented. The company is thriving. Sis, I'm considering whether to move the headquarters back to Khebury. I don't want to stay here alone. It's so boring! I want to work with you," Kane whined, pouting like a big boy.

Joyce considered it. "I've thought about it, too. Either way, my future will be in Khebury. But do you really not want to inherit the family business?"

"Of course not, sis! How many times do I have to say it? I have no interest in the media. I love computer technology. It's my life," Kane emphasized.

"Let me think about it," Joyce nodded.

Kane was eager. "Sis, think about it quickly. I can't wait to go back! Can I see Wilson and Cullen?"

"They're sleeping, and I'm in the study. I was about to handle some business. How about I send you pictures later?" Joyce suggested.

Kane agreed, albeit a little disappointed. "Okay, but don't forget."

"I won't," Joyce assured him.

"How's the situation over there? I heard that Jude was kidnapped some time ago but was safely released. Is that true?" Kane suddenly turned serious.

"Yes," Joyce admitted. "That's why I wanted you to stay in Mufron. Jude's kidnapping is related to warlords. It shouldn't affect you directly, but I'm still worried."

"I'm more worried about you! Sis, I can help if I go back!" Kane insisted. "Let me go back. I can buy a plane ticket anytime I want. I asked for your permission because you understand why."

Joyce understood Kane's respect for her. With Jude retiring early, she was in dire need of technical personnel. However, she didn't want to involve Kane. If she did, would he really be safe outside? If the other party really wanted to harm them, what information couldn't they find? She would have no control over the situation.

"Kane, are you willing to do this? Open a branch in Rohomes?" Joyce's eyes lit up. She had a feeling that everything started in Rohomes. If she could infiltrate Rohomes, even if it was only a temporary base, it would be better than knowing nothing.

"Rohomes? Open a branch? Right now?" Kane was very surprised. "To expand our market? We can't even handle the current orders. It seems unnecessary."Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

"It's not for market expansion. I just have a hunch that Rohomes might have the answers I'm looking for," Joyce didn't reveal everything. "Darrin is one of my bodyguards and he's in Rohomes. If you go and open a branch, he can help you."

Kane didn't ask too many questions. "It's just opening a branch. No big deal. Sis, leave it to me. I promise to support whatever you ask me to do. Whether it's going through fire and water, I'll be there for you."

His sincere promise made Joyce chuckle.

"Don't be so dramatic. Where's the fire and water? I wouldn't dare to ask you to do anything unsafe. Opening a branch, contacting some clients, and handling a few orders. That's it," she clarified.

"Got it, sis. I understand. I know you want to gather information about Rohomes through the branch. Don't worry, Media is my family's specialty. I have connections and information channels. It won't be difficult for me. I can even set up the company directly in our family's Rohomes Media Building. I'll have contacts and stay low-key," Kane reassured.

"Great idea," Joyce agreed. "I'll contact Darrin later to help you."

"Okay!" Kane gestured.

"I have to go. I have work to do. Goodbye," Joyce waved and ended the video call.

At that moment, Luther gently pushed open the door to the study.
