Upon remembering what had happened the night before, Joye could not help but feel a little embarrassed. At that time, when Yvon was there, she was so tormented that she did not have time to think about anything else. But now that he was standing opposite her, she could no longer pretend that nothing had happened.
Just when Joye was at a loss for words, she felt something hitting her arm. She raised her head only to see Janina looking Yvon up and down with a suggestive grin. "Dear, don't you want to introduce this handsome guy to me?"
Joye came to her senses and met Yvon’s gaze. "Oh sorry, I forgot. Yvon, this is my best friend, Janina. She has just returned from studying abroad. Janina, meet Yvon, my... friend."
Yvon remained smiling, but when he heard the word "friend", a hint of disappointment flashed across his eyes. Apparently, to her, he was just a friend.
"Since you’re Joye’s friend, let's have dinner together. The food in our prison is even more terrible than I imagined. I'm starving."
Janina did not ask any more questions. Instead, she held Joye's arm with a smile and acted like a spoiled child, rendering Joye helpless. Joye shot Yvon an apologetic gaze as if asking if he was okay to join them.
"There's a nice restaurant nearby. How about I take you two there? I didn't get to enjoy the meal last time, so you’ll have to treat me to dinner again tonight."
Upon noticing his casual tone, Joye was a little relieved. She nodded as she came out of the police station, feeling a little tired while walking down the steps.
She forced herself to walk down the final step, but she suddenly lost her balance and tripped. Before Janina could react, Yvon hugged Jaye’s waist and prevented her from falling.
Joye could not help but blush frantically upon such intimate physical contact with Yvon. She quickly found her footing while Yvon withdrew his hand from her waist. Then, he whispered gently in her ear, "Be careful."
"All right. Thank you."
Meanwhile, inside a Rolls-Royce parked across the street, a distance away, Shawn stared at Joye's slender figure with a dark gaze, the muscles in his jaw twitching.
Joye!
Very good job!
How dare you throw yourself into another man’s arms as soon as you recovered from your fever?
"Wait, why are they together?"
Connor saw Janina holding Joye's arm and wondered out loud. When did the two girls know each other? However, Shawn misunderstood Connor and thought that he was talking about Yvon and Joye. As a result, his face darkened as he tightened his grip around the steering wheel.
He silently cursed himself for being so anxious over Joye’s fever.
"That's ridiculous."
coincidence. All of a sudden, the car lurched forward, causing the back of his head to slam into the headrest. He instinctively grabbed the armrest and turned his head to complain to Shawn, "Why are you driving so fast?"Connor tilted his head while he tried to figure out the
Shawn acted as if he did not hear Connor. He stepped on the accelerator and sped up, stirring up a gust of wind as he drove past the road.
Janina glared at the luxury car whizzing past them and shook her head in annoyance. "Driving a luxury car doesn’t mean you have the right to go against the traffic rules. They should lock the driver up for a few days."
However, at this moment, Joye's face turned pale, as she recognized the number on the car plate.
Yvon had also recognized Shawn's car, and he subconsciously turned to look at Joye. "Are you alright?
"I'm fine."
When Joye finally came back to her senses, she forced a smile at Yvon. There was no hope left for Shawn and her. They were over!
"The restaurant is right in front
. Get in the car."
