The night was extraordinarily quiet.
Inside the apartment, it was so quiet that she could even hear her own breath.
The sense of urgency of the unexpected call and the ringing that seemed to never stop made her feel suffocating.
Joyce held out her hand and hesitated for a moment.
What could Otis be doing calling her at this late hour?
Besides, Mr. Clark had just died, and Otis was looking for her at such a time?
"Thump-Thump-Thump!" Her heart seemed to be pounding straight against her chest disorderly.
When the ringing was about to stop, she finally pressed the answer button.
At the very moment, it would be even stranger if she did not answer the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Robertson, what do you want from me at this late hour?" Joyce had already calmed down when she picked up the phone, her voice was clear and bright, and she sounded just like her usual self.
"Ms. Knowles, what took you so long to answer the phone?" Otis' voice was slightly lowered.
"Oh, just got out of the shower. Mr. Robertson, what do you want?" Joyce said back.
"What? Can’t I call you if I have got nothing?" Otis smiled wickedly, "I missed you before I called you."
"Mr. Robertson don't make jokes. If there's nothing I'll hang up, I had a full day of meetings today and arrived home late. I'm already tired and want to rest early." Joyce frowned.
"Is that so?" Otis smiled, his meaning unclear.
Joyce's frown deepened, and she felt Otis must have known something.
"Ms. Knowles, is the design ready yet? Let's meet tomorrow and you can show it to me." Otis paused, "You're coming alone. And don't bring that guy again. What's her name, Kane?"
Joyce looked aghast. Alone?

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
If this is the ending of this story the story then I wish I hadn’t started reading it doesn’t even end right has not closure. To bad these writers don’t put much into their endings....
When will the new chapters come I can't wait any longer...
Very strange ending, is Joyce pregnant again or does she still have remnants of the devil with her. Christian should have apologized and made up with Luther and Felix. Too much violence and twists and turns, once settled, everyone should be happy and healthy....
Omg… can’t you just let Luther and Joyce live in peace with their children….another controversy doesn’t add to the story....
Not again, ugh … just get rid of this disgusting despicable woman...
Hopefully the underground bio lab East523will be found soon and Luther will make a full recovery, Lily will be reunited with the family and all will be good. Otherwise this will be a very disappointing story....
Please don’t make more trouble for Joyce and Luther, they need to have their children and be happy...
Looking forward to Joyce shooting Otis where it will hurt him the most and end his disgusting ways with women. He’s a pig, deserves to lose his “unit”....
Just tell him you’re the one that saved him , not the evil woman and find your beautiful love story together. Quit being a wet blanket, too smart for that....
I hate it when the hero and heroine are made out to be fools for the evil people that wish to steal their lives and live. Hopefully Charlotte is found out quickly and removed. Why should a villain with an illegitimate child reap all the rewards. Terrible....
