Chapter 1408 Joyce Is In Love
Indeed, the school that Connor went to was an elite school. Sharon wasn’t as smart as Connor, so she was still attending classes at kindergarten.
As Connor was too smart, he stopped attending classes at the kindergarten a while ago. Shane arranged for the little boy to attend an elite school to equip him with knowledge from various fields.
Only those below sixteen with a high IQ would get to enroll in the elite school. Connor was only six, and he was too young to attend ordinary schools. As such, this elite school was just perfect for him.
The reason he loved the elite school was that he no longer had to pretend to be an ordinary child. Back then, he was forced to keep his knowledge to himself in order not to deal a blow to his friends.
At his new school, he was able to discuss with everyone any topic he was interested in. He no longer had to worry about scaring his teachers and his peers.
Thus, Connor was obviously more cheerful now.
Back in kindergarten, he often idled around. He did a one-eighty after going to his new school and was now more upbeat.
That was when Natalie belatedly realized that her idea of sending Connor to kindergarten so he could enjoy a normal and happy childhood was wrong.
He was smart and knew what he wanted, so the only way to make him happy was to allow him to do what he wanted. That would allow him to have a meaningful childhood.
It was wrong for her to force Connor to experience a happy and normal childhood.
After all, not every child wanted the same childhood. For a genius like Connor, he would be able to experience a unique childhood.
After breakfast, Natalie rested in the living room for a while before grabbing her bag to drive to work.
She arrived at the company to see her subordinates gossiping together. Curious, she asked, “What are you guys chatting about?”
“Oh, Ms. Smith!” The employees were clearly surprised to see her. They scattered and greeted her politely.
Natalie murmured a response. “What are you chatting about? I heard Joyce’s name. What about her?” she queried.
The employees shared a look. In the end, one stood out and said, “Well, we all think that Ms. Rivers is acting strangely today.”
“How so?” Natalie shot Joyce’s office an inquiring look.
The employee responded, “Ms. Rivers spent the entire morning calling and texting on her phone. She also kept grinning, so we were guessing that she’s in love.”
Previously, Joyce had never shown any signs that she was dating anyone.
Besides, Joyce was as strict as a discipline teacher. Thus, the employees assumed she would remain single forever.
They reckoned that no man could stand someone as hot-tempered as her.
However, Joyce’s odd actions that day proved that she was dating someone else. The employees were pretty shocked to realize that.
They started gossiping about who Joyce’s boyfriend could be, and how he could stand the difference between her attitude at work and after work.
“Oh, I see. You’re quite observant, huh?” Natalie joked.
Her subordinates gaped incredulously. “Ms. Smith, are you saying that Ms. Rivers is currently in a relationship?”
“Yes, she is.” Natalie flashed a grin and nodded.
The crowd flew into an uproar.
I can’t believe it’s true!
One employee covered her cheeks and wailed, “Oh, I pity myself. Ms. Rivers has a boyfriend, and yet I’m still single!”
Natalie shook her head in amusement and walked toward Joyce’s office.
“Joyce.” She knocked on the door.
Soon, Joyce’s voice rang out. “Nat, is that you? Come on in.”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
