Chapter 106
It's ridiculous and despicable.
She gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in hatred.
But she showed none of these on her face, and she still looked shy, "Luther, I will go back to the project
team first."
"Hmm."
Luther nodded irritably as he jerked open the emergency door and just walked into the stairway.
Depressed, he took a cigarette out of his pocket and held it between his thin lips.
He took out his lighter and tried to light it, but it didn't work, and then he tried again, but still, it didn't
work. Finally, he discarded the cigarette on the floor in annoyance and stomped on it hard a few times.
Joyce was making her way to the project team.
Just a few steps away.
"Joyce." Behind her, came Charlotte's voice.
Joyce paused in her steps as she turned back.
Charlotte was walking alone, and Luther was no longer with her.
Joyce asked, "Do you want something?"
"Just now, did you see me and Luther kissing?" Charlotte was quite straightforward.
Joyce was still calm like nothing had happened, "I saw it. You two had your marriage contract, and I
think it's just normal."
"Oh, I was afraid you'd mind, so it's good that you don't. After all, you and he are now a couple and live
under the same roof." Charlotte said deliberately.
Joyce smiled calmly, and Charlotte could not really see her emotion, "What can I mind? I know my
position very well. You don't have to worry, I won't snatch it from you. What's yours is yours, no one can
snatch it away."
Joyce spoke bluntly. She thought about it and continued.
" Charlotte, you do not need to treat him with such sincerity and worry. Just be confident. A man who
really cares about you will naturally cherish you and love you. He would not change his mind just
because of the people or things around him. If he does not care about you, no matter how careful you
are to stay around him, he would one day leave you. Just be yourself, and don’t lose yourself because
of a man, OK?"
Joyce smiled faintly, "Be confident, and be good to yourself."
Charlotte's face was a little pale.
It was hard to hide it any longer, but she held it back eventually.
She smiled awkwardly and nodded.
‘Joyce, you are quite something. On the surface, you are telling me to be confident and good to myself.
In fact, you are just being sarcastic, right? Although you seem to care nothing about it, you just wanted
to say I am not going to get what I want with every word you just said.’
To begin with, she just wanted to tease Joyce.
She wanted to show off in front of Joyce that she and Luther "kissed", and wanted to stimulate Joyce Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.
so that Joyce would know she should just back out.
But in the end, she only made herself angry.
What one feared and lacked was what one would show off and use to fill the emptiness inside.
It was amazing that she made such a cheap mistake in front of Joyce.
Joyce actually did not think so much as Charlotte did.
She simply just wanted to express that she would not compete with Charlotte for Luther.
Joyce gently patted Charlotte's shoulder, "I'm sorry. I know you're under a lot of pressure from the
public with the fake marriage thing going on. I will find a way to end this mistake as soon as possible."
She just always seemed to mean something with her words!
Between her and Luther, the false start, and the confusion of it all, should have been resolved as soon
as possible.
After saying that, she turned around and walked toward the office.
Charlotte just watched Joyce's back as she left.
The bottom of her eyes was full of resentment.
