Joyce seemed to be conscious of the things Natalie had in mind. She tapped on her friend’s shoulder and said, “Speaking of which, aren’t you going to conduct another DNA examination?”
“That’s my plan, but I can’t get my hands on the sample I need because Shane’s not around.”
Joyce shrugged her shoulders and suggested, “Just take your time. If it turns out they’re related, it’s time for you to talk about it with him. If they’re not related, I think it’s better for you to leave him. On top of that…”
“What?”
“Well, on top of the affection you have for him, haven’t you gotten married to him because he’s Connor and Sharon’s father? He has to take care of Connor and Sharon if that’s the case, but you can’t possibly expect him to execute the role of a father if they’re not related, can you?”
Natalie gaped at Joyce’s rhetorical question. In the end, she shook her head and answered, “I guess you’re right.”
Indeed, I married Shane because he’s the man I love and my children’s father. If that’s not the case, I’m not that shameless of a woman to insist on having him take care of Connor and Sharon.
“See? There are quite a lot of things you have to sort out. Take a break and gather your thoughts. I’ll drop by the mill on your behalf.”
Once Joyce departed, Natalie started brainstorming her next best course of action.
Meanwhile, Joyce made her way to Thompson Group instead of dropping by the textile mill as she had mentioned.
She couldn’t stand her friend sulking over a man anymore. Thus, she thought of teaching Shane a lesson on Natalie’s behalf.
As soon as she pulled over at the entrance, she made her way to the elevator that was exclusive to the CEO without informing the receptionist.
Startled by Joyce’s presence, it took the receptionist a few seconds to snap out of bewilderment. She rushed over to stop Joyce. “Miss, you’re not allowed to be here because this is designated for the CEO only. If you need to head upstairs, please make use of the elevator over there.”
Joyce brought herself to a halt and asked, “Can I reach the highest floor using that elevator over there?”
Stupefied by the question Joyce directed at her, she shook her head and answered, “That’s impossible.”
