You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 1640

Chapter 1640: Promotions for Both

Night Garden Private Club, a high-end gathering place in the Capital. Situated at the foot of the mountains with beautiful scenery, only the top political figures frequent this place, so its location is quite secretive.
Today, Luther booked the entire venue.
Juanita and Karl were the first to arrive. The spacious private room had an artificial landscape of rockeries and flowing water outside the windows. The interior was designed in a Japanese style, with every decoration exquisite. When entering the private room, shoes needed to be taken off.
The tatami mats covered the entire private room, and the Japanese-style dining table was already set with cold dishes.
Karl looked at his watch. "You're so impatient. The host hasn't arrived yet, but we're already here."
"What's the big deal?" Juanita leaned against Karl. She had been sleeping since the afternoon and was still a little drowsy after waking up.
"It seems like you've been sleeping a lot lately," Karl touched her hair.
"Yes, maybe it's because I'm in the later stages of pregnancy. I can't wake up easily. Don't worry, as soon as Joyce arrives, I'll be full of energy. Let me lean on you for a while now," Juanita nestled in Karl's arms. "After the warlord's matter was resolved, I suddenly realized that you've had a lot of free time recently. I'm not used to it."
Karl smiled. "Hehe, do you want me to be busy every day and never be seen?"
"Not really, there are pros and cons. When you're with me all the time, I feel like you're meddling in my affairs too much. What I eat, when I sleep, you have to manage it. What I wear, where I go, do you manage too much?" Juanita suddenly sat up straight from Karl's embrace. "Why didn't I notice before? How can you be so meddlesome? What I eat, when I sleep, you have to manage it. What I wear, where I go, do you manage too much?"
Karl glanced at her. "You don't understand me enough. Your self-awareness is so poor, you don't have the sense of becoming a mother at all. Eating randomly, not sleeping on time, not taking breaks when working. Of course, I have to restrict you."
Juanita suddenly felt deflated. She felt like she had fallen into a trap and couldn't get out now.
Ah, who would have thought that she would be trapped like this.
This is what they call men, completely different before and after marriage?
Before they got married, he let her do as she pleased, but now...
Juanita sighed. Who made her fall in love with him and insisted on winning him over? Now, it's done. She has become her own trap.
"What are you thinking? How do you plan to escape my control?" Karl saw her resentful expression and couldn't help but laugh.
"I dare not, Karl," Juanita said.
Just as Juanita finished speaking, the sliding door of the Japanese-style room was pushed open, and Joyce walked in.
Coincidentally, she heard Juanita say, "Karl."
Joyce's eyes lit up. "I heard that Commissioner Gregory is going to be promoted to the head of the House of Inspection. Has it already been announced?"
Juanita immediately perked up and sat up from Karl's embrace. "It was just announced this afternoon. He will officially take office tomorrow."
Karl smiled and remained silent.
Luther entered with Joyce. He didn't close the door. "I saw Chris parking outside. Everyone has arrived. Congratulations to Commissioner Gregory on the promotion, becoming the head of the House of Inspection."
Juanita smiled. "It was just announced this afternoon. He will officially take office tomorrow."
Karl smiled but didn't say anything.
Luther approached and looked at Karl. "With your position in the legal world, becoming the head of the House of Inspection is only a matter of time. This military consolidation has made a significant contribution to the Special Investigation Department, directly propelling you to a high position. It seems that in a few years, it will be your turn to sit on the Supreme Court."
Karl smiled and shook his head. He had no interest in power, but now that he had been pushed to a high position, it wouldn't be good to decline.
"By the way, Juanita, didn't you get promoted to the president of the charity party?" Joyce asked.
"Ah, yes. It's so annoying. I don't want to do it," Juanita complained.
Joyce chuckled. "Congratulations, President Sanchez. This is a position that many people dream of. And you don't want to do it?"
Juanita had a black line on her face. "You don't know how troublesome it is. I can't finish answering all the calls every day. Various trivial matters, it's frustrating."
"You have to do it to prevent corruption. This position is perfect for you. Head of the House of Inspection and president of the charity party. Integrity on top of integrity, it's an official match," Joyce gave a thumbs up.
Karl chuckled. "She complains, but when she really gets to work, she's dedicated and works harder than anyone else. I have to remind her to eat on time and sleep on time. Just now, she even found me annoying."
"Who said I find you annoying?" Juanita hugged Karl's waist and clung to him like an octopus, not shy about being spoiled. "I love you to the point I can't even express it."
After speaking, she even boldly kissed Karl on the cheek.
The sudden confession made Chris and Nina, who had just entered, stunned.
Chris was fine, but the affectionate scene made Nina's face turn red. She stood at the entrance, unsure of what to do.
Joyce couldn't help but cover her forehead. Juanita, indeed, was returning to her true self.
Luther cleared his throat and looked to the side.
Karl's handsome face stiffened. "Juanita, calm down a bit. You're scaring people."
"It's okay, we're all familiar with each other. What's the big deal?" Juanita then noticed someone standing beside Chris at the entrance.
More accurately, hiding behind Chris.
She felt like she had discovered a new continent and immediately perked up.
"Wow, Chris! Is this your little beauty? She's even more stunning than I imagined."
Nina's head almost lowered into her neck. With such enthusiasm, this must be President SanchezJuanita, the current president of the charity party, as Chris mentioned before.
She softly greeted, "President Sanchez, hello."
"Come, let me have a look at you." Juanita approached Nina without hesitation, raising her chin. "Wow, you're much more beautiful in person than in the photos. Such a classical temperament. You're like... let me think, how can I describe it?"
She pulled Nina into the private room and under the bright lights, she twirled her around, praising, "Wow, you must have come from another era. Just standing there, you exude a unique aura. Pure, graceful, and serene, like... like some kind of saintess, yes, a saintess. One can only admire from afar, not profane."
"Chris, you've really struck gold. Amazing. A girl like this, who is a rare treasure, is now in your hands." Juanita winked at Chris. From the way Nina was dressed, with the collar almost up to her chin, it must be covering something. It was obvious what they had been doing during this time.
Chris uncomfortably coughed a few times. What was he supposed to say? It made it seem like he was defiling a saintess.
However, as Juanita said, Nina did give off that kind of vibe, which made it addictive. Once you touched her, you couldn't quit. The more you fell into it, the deeper it became.
Nina's face turned crimson, and she didn't dare to raise her head.
