You Hit My Heart -
Chapter 157
Joyce quickly grabbed her phone back and said, "Got it."
Just now, though for a brief moment, she wasn't sure if Luther had seenthe conversation between her and Christian.
She glanced at him sheepishly.
She was relieved to see that expressionless face.
But, wait? Why should she be afraid? She didn't do or say anythingwrong.
She was open and honest, so why should she be afraid of himknowing?
"Add me now." Luther grimaced, took out his own phone, opened thesoftware, and handed it to Joyce.
Casey was also there, so he didn't want to make the scene too bad.Joyce just had to add him as a friend on the spot.
Luther pressed the accept button. He looked at the screen. Joyce'savatar was actually a cute cat paw cartoon image. He could not helpbut gave a mild smile. It was a far cry from her usual style. But the cat'spaw fit her wildcat-like nature.
“I'm off duty.” After saying that, Joyce frowned and turned aroundquickly to run away from the conference room.
Casey probed over and asked, “Luther, can I add you? Then I can pullyou into the work group?" It's funny how Luther didn't usually like to usethese chat apps, but today he's suddenly interested.
Luther gave Casey a blank look, "No need."
Luther looked at Joyce's coldly departing back and suddenly askedCasey, "As I recall, you're married?"
Casey froze, "Yes." What was the president asking this for?
"What do you do when a woman gets angry?" Luther asked.
"..." Casey had no idea what to say.
Is the president trying to make his wife happy?
"Buy jewelry ... buy flowers ... buy ..." Casey stammered. He wasn'tvery good at it, and Luther was absolutely asking the wrong person."Nothing, you go out." Luther was cold-faced and looked a littleembarrassed.
"Yes, Luther," Casey said as he hastily and respectfully excusedhimself.
By the time Casey left, Luther was the only one left in the emptyconference room.
The fact was that just now, although only a short glimpse, he sawclearly Joyce chatting with Christian.
The more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became.
Getting up, he left the conference room and walked out of the R&SGroup.
It was already dark, and he was walking alone on the street as thestreetlights came on in layers, stretching into the distance. It was abusy, bustling night, with neon lights flashing all around, and a steadystream of people in the stores along the street.
In a trance, he passed a jewelry store. A necklace placed in the windowcaught his eye. The unique shape, simple design, andincomprehensible symbols made it really special.
The sales clerk came out enthusiastically, "Hello, sir. This is our newestlimited edition necklace, called Wheel of Fortune. The simple lines ofthe seven mangoes represent the mystery, plus a circle of wheelsoutside, symbolizing the fate of the unknowable future.”
Mystery, fate, an unknowable future.
Luther couldn't help but think of Joyce, the woman he had so far beenunable to understand.
He remembered Casey's advice about jewelry...
"Sir, do you want to buy one? It is 70,000 dollars.” The clerk tried herbest to sell it to him, "Excuse me, do you want to give it to yourgirlfriend or your wife?"
