You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 148

"Brother, it's late! Why don't you have lunch with me? There's a great steak house across the street." Shelly intimately went up to hold Luther with one hand, and the other hand of hers held Charlotte beside her, "Ask Charlotte to join you. She's got a baby now. And look how thin she is, she needs to eat more."

Charlotte ducked her head in shame; he hadn't looked her in the eye today. She was full of anticipation; Luther had never eaten with her before.

Luther looked sideways at Charlotte, only to see her thin chiseled face, scarlet cheeks, and watery eyes. She looked just pitiful.

She was carrying a child and he never asked about her.

But he was so distracted that he didn't have the heart to eat.

He brushed Shelly's hand away and refused, "You can go with her. I have things to do."

The sense of responsibility always made him feel a little guilty, and he said to Charlotte, "You eat more and take care of yourself."

Hearing his concern for herself, Charlotte smiled and nodded her head in a hurry.

Luther and Casey then both left the automotive project design team together.

On the other hand, Joyce and Juanita both went downstairs together.

Walking down the hall of R&S Group, Joyce could feel the people around her pointing at her and giving her strange looks.

Someone whispered.

"The president's wife even betrayed the group. I really can't think of such a thing. She is still not satisfied with what she had."

"What a greedy woman!"

"I heard that she was having an affair with Christian from the Ballard group."

"Is that the young Mr. Dragon who looks more beautiful than a woman?"

"Yes, so what. Our president is much more handsome. This woman has been really good at her tricks and pretending. Disgusting."

Juanita couldn't stand to hear this, so she went up and tugged a girl at the front desk and scolded her, "What are you talking about? Did you even have any proof? Where did you hear that?"

The girl cowered, trembling back, "A post from the company's forum, just now. It was not that I'm talking nonsense. The whole company knows about it."

Juanita let go of her hand and the girl ran away in a hurry.

Joyce took out her phone and opened the company forum.

Sure enough, a post was made on the forum.

It also posted the Ballard group press conference.

"Damn Shelly, it must be her! I saw her playing with her phone in the office just now, so she's doing this! There's no real evidence, and it's too much!" Juanita couldn't help but curse.

"It's okay. I have never done such a thing. She just wants to ruin me. In the end, it will only be herself who will be ruined." Joyce said indifferently.

"What kind of evidence are we going to find?" Juanita asked curiously as she took Joyce's hand.

"No rush, let's go to lunch first, you must be hungry too after tossing and turning all morning." Joyce was at ease.

"I'm not hungry, really. Your business is more important. Let's go find the evidence first. By the way, I have a good relationship with someone in the surveillance room. Should we ask him to help us check other surveillance and see what we can find?" Juanita jumped to her feet in anxiety. How come Joyce was not anxious at all! It's not easy to have a close friend, and she didn’t want Joyce to leave the group, especially if she was being framed.

"You don’t need to worry that much. Let's go and find something to eat first."

Joyce laughed and tugged Juanita away, "I'll tell you later."
