It was obvious to Natalie that Joyce did not intend to return to the office as she had already handed over her work.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to text her to come back, and nor would she have doubted her friend's intentions.
When Joyce saw Natalie's reply, her heart skipped a beat.She did not expect that Natalie could tell that she was lying straight away.
Forget it! Joyce sighed before replying with a voice message.
She said, "Nat, I'm so sorry.I had lied to you indeed.It's true that I don't feel like going back.In fact, I don't think I will go back ever again.It's better this way."
After that, the woman turned off her phone.
When Justin walked back carrying a cup of milkshake and a cup of coffee, he happened to hear what Joyce said.
"Who were you speaking to? Where are you going back to?"
"It was my best friend"
Joyce replied, taking over the milkshake from the man before continuing, "My best friend and I started a fashion design company together in J City.She was asking me to return to work, but I don't intend to do that."
"Your best friend? Is it that woman named Natalie?" Justin asked, sitting down next to her.
With a surprised expression on her face, Joyce replied, "How did you know that?"
"Before contacting you, I did some slight research.Your friend is really pretty"Justin said after taking a sip of his coffee.
Joyce looked at the man cautiously and replied, "Justin, I hope you're not having any funny ideas about my friend.You should forget about it if you are.My best friend is indeed extremely gorgeous and ethereal beauty.However, she's already married with three kids.You'll never stand a chance with her"
Justin was amused after hearing the woman's words.
Knocking on her head lightly, he said, "What are you talking about? Why would I be interested in your friend? I'm just complimenting her on her looks.She's indeed the prettiest woman I've ever seen, but I'm not interested in her at all.I'm also aware that she's married, and I also know that her husband is the chairman of Thompson Group."
"You even know about that?"
Joyce was rather dumbfounded at how much the man knew.
Justin nodded.
"Of course.Come to think about it, Mr.Thompson and I are somewhat acquainted.I was in charge of receiving him when I was working overseas previously."
"I see" Joyce nodded and did not ask any further.
