Chapter 155
Casey saw that the atmosphere between the two of them was not right.
He hurriedly rounded up the situation, "You all go back to work." He cleared all the people out of the
conference room, leaving some space for the president and the president's wife to handle the matter
themselves.
Charlotte sighed as she saw that everything was over, and left the conference room helplessly to return
to her seat. She looked at the computer screen in a daze, and couldn't help but worry that after Shelly's
fuss, it would be difficult for her to find a chance to get at Joyce for a while.
And, Joyce was alert beyond her expectations.
It was all Shelly’s fault. Just how dare she use such a trick? She had watched too many brainless TV
shows, and maybe she thought it was seamless, but it was actually full of loopholes. How could she
trust just a random security guard, and there was no careful planning beforehand.
Inside the meeting room.
Luther stared in silence at the blank paper in front of him, his face rigid.
She even let him write this kind of shit. Afraid that he would go back on his words?
"Ok. I'll write it, and you can just sign it." Joyce saw that he was still motionless, so she simply took the
white paper from him, took out a pen, and simply wrote a few sentences.
I, Luther, have received a payment from Joyce in two installments, totaling $800,000.
Received from: Joyce.
payee: blank.
"You sign here." Joyce handed Luther the pen.
Luther reluctantly took the pen and signed his name beautifully on the paper. It always felt like she was
missing something when she paid off the money.
Joyce coldly reached out and tried to take this receipt note from under his hand. However, she pulled a
few times, but she could not move the paper at all.
Luther pressed one hand on the receipt and asked in a cold voice, "You asked me for money before, all
for Justin's surgery?"
The idea that everything she did was probably for Justin, and that the person she loved so much was
Justin, depressed him to the core.
This, coupled with her detached demeanor, cold expression, and the sense of distance unmistakably
written on her face, made him extremely uncomfortable.
"So what if it is? So what if it's not?" Joyce put her hands around her chest and looked at him coldly,
"Anyway, we're clear today."
Her words carried a double meaning.
It could be both a monetary clearing and a mutual relationship clearing.
His mouth parted, he wanted to say something, but finally, he said nothing.
She looked really angry at what he did to her today. Although she seemed not to mind the whole thing
on the surface, he could sense that she was quite serious today, which made him feel even more
depressed.
He'd rather she act like a little wildcat and argue with him.
Instead of being so cold now.
But he couldn't pull himself together to explain.
Joyce took advantage of his distraction and took the receipt from under his hand.
"If it's okay, it’s time for me to leave." After saying that, she turned around to leave. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
At that moment, however, Joyce was suddenly pulled from behind, her heels slipped, she leaned back,
and finally, she stumbled back and sat directly on his lap.
Luther smoothly wrapped his arms around her so that she wouldn't fall to the ground.
The softness of her body, and the fresh scent of her hair, made him slightly lost in thought,
remembering yesterday's ambiguity in the cubicle. He couldn't help but fold his arms, and his body
unconsciously reacted.
Meanwhile, Casey returned and saw Joyce sitting on Luther’s lap.
