Joyce quickly grabbed her phone back and said, "Got it."
Just now, though for a brief moment, she wasn't sure if Luther had seen the conversation between her and Christian.
She glanced at him sheepishly.
She was relieved to see that expressionless face.
But, wait? Why should she be afraid? She didn't do or say anything wrong.
She was open and honest, so why should she be afraid of him knowing?
"Add me now." Luther grimaced, took out his own phone, opened the software, and handed it to Joyce.
Casey was also there, so he didn't want to make the scene too bad.
Joyce just had to add him as a friend on the spot.
Luther pressed the accept button. He looked at the screen. Joyce's avatar was actually a cute cat paw cartoon image. He could not help but gave a mild smile. It was a far cry from her usual style. But the cat's paw fit her wildcat-like nature.
"I'm off duty." After saying that, Joyce frowned and turned around quickly to run away from the conference room.
Casey probed over and asked, "Luther, can I add you? Then I can pull you into the work group?" It's funny how Luther didn’t usually like to use these chat apps, but today he's suddenly interested.
Luther gave Casey a blank look, "No need."
"…"
Luther looked at Joyce's coldly departing back and suddenly asked Casey, "As I recall, you're married?"
Casey froze, "Yes." What was the president asking this for?
Getting up, he left the conference room and walked out of the R&S Group.
It was already dark, and he was walking alone on the street as the streetlights came on in layers, stretching into the distance. It was a busy, bustling night, with neon lights flashing all around, and a steady stream of people in the stores along the street.
In a trance, he passed a jewelry store. A necklace placed in the window caught his eye. The unique shape, simple design, and incomprehensible symbols made it really special.
The sales clerk came out enthusiastically, "Hello, sir. This is our newest limited edition necklace, called Wheel of Fortune. The simple lines of the seven mangoes represent the mystery, plus a circle of wheels outside, symbolizing the fate of the unknowable future."
Mystery, fate, an unknowable future.
Luther couldn't help but think of Joyce, the woman he had so far been unable to understand.
He remembered Casey's advice about jewelry…
"Sir, do you want to buy one? It is 70,000 dollars." The clerk tried her best to sell it to him, "Excuse me, do you want to give it to your girlfriend or your wife?"

The readers' comments on the novel: Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Why has all the names changed from english name to Chinese, It’s difficult to understand who is who...
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....
