Chapter 767
Joyce was smitten at the thought of this.
She was in a daze, thinking about her future with Martin, and then about the bits and pieces she had spent with Martin before. She and he had been schoolmates since childhood, at the Royal Creek Institute and also at Yamenia. Even though they had left school and were working as doctors at San Joto Central Hospital, people called them the tag team of San Joto. Just as she was the only female researcher in Martin’s research, he had never allowed other girls to approach him.
Joyce felt indescribably sweet when she thought of this. She was almost certain that Martin liked her. They had similar interests and compatible personalities, even their professions so perfectly matched. He might have a quirky temper, but she was willing to put up with him. She was sure that she would be the woman who understood him the most in the world and that Martin could never meet another woman like her
The crowd outside had dispersed, and Martin did not hear Joyce’s voice again. He was a little surprised that Joyce could shut up so obediently for so long.
‘Had I known this earlier, I would have threatened her this way?’
Martin had finished his coffee and still did not get to see the person he wanted to see. He sighed and turned to look at the woman next to him, only to get startled by her look.
Joyce was resting her chin on her hand with her elbow on the table, staring at him with a look of infatuation on her face. Seeing him look over, she winked at him with a shy face.
‘Oh, my God.’ Martin shrank back a little, trying to keep a distance from this woman. ‘This is scary. I was too naïve. I should have known that this woman would not stay quiet and do nothing. She’s just pulling another trick on me.’
