This morning, after Joyce dropped Anderson off at the kindergarten, she rested a little longer at home.
She had been distracted and hadn't slept well since she received Otis' call at night.
After dropping Anderson off in the morning, she lay down in a daze and took a nap.
When she got up it was almost noon.
She ate some sandwiches and milk and turned on the TV. She wanted to know what was going on about the case of Mr. Clark.
Unexpectedly, the channel was broadcasting another story.
"This morning, on the shallows downstream the reservoir a body of a female was found. The dead was about sixty years old, 5’1’’, and her name remains unknown. According to the police, she might have lost footing and ended up drowning. If you have any information, please contact the Capital Police Department in time."
The scene then was switched to the reservoir, and the body covered with a white cloth, lying on the shore. The rippling surface of the lake looked so calm, as if nothing had happened.
Joyce gently frowned and did not pay much attention. Nowadays the society was under great pressure, and from time to time there were always people who would choose end their life, so it was nothing unusual.
She switched to another channel.
But still, there was no follow-up stories on Mr. Clark.
A cold smile appeared on her lips. It seemed that Otis also stepped in to block the media. Sure he had the capabilities and he had suppressed most of the news. The good thing was that Roberts Media had enough influence and all the news released before was still there. Otherwise, she was afraid, no one would ever know about this incident.
She couldn't help but shiver at the thought of Otis' shadowy expression.
She stood up and poured herself a cup of hot water.
She wanted to warm your hands and she took a few more sips before she felt much more comfortable all over.
She was not in a hurry to go to the office to work on the design proposal from Otis. She put it off as long as possible, and there was no need to be in such a hurry. She could make further contact with Otis after Mr. Clark's matter settled down.
She put down the cup in her hand and tidied up a bit more at home.
