Even so, he carefully brushed away the strands of hair on her forehead and quietly sat next to her. He looked at the glowing yellow streetlights in the dark that felt just as lonely as he was.
Tristan only dared to hold Joyce’s hand when she was unconscious so that she would not shrug him off.
Joyce’s breathing was steady, so he could bear to disturb her. ) Tristan swept a glance at Roman, who was at the entrance of the club.
A coldness crossed his eyes as he thought, ‘What qualifications does he have to compete with me? Shameless!’ In less than twenty minutes, someone knocked on the car window.
Joyce was instantly awakened, while Tristan looked up. She looked around, confused. She was wondering what she was doing here. When she saw Tristan, she froze for a moment.
Then, her brows knitted up tightly. “Why are you here?” Tristan’s tone was calm. “I was just passing by after some business.”
Joyce only remembered that she was drinking in the club, so how did she get to Tristan’s car? She could not seem to recall this segment. Tristan saw Joyce’s confused and dazed face, so he made up a lie without batting an eye.
“I just got out of my car, but you were clinging onto me and insisted on getting into my car. I couldn’t even stop you.” ”
Impossible!” Joyce had a huge reaction after she heard that. Tristan started at her in silence.
“There’s dashcam footage. Wanna see it?” Joyce was silent for half a minute.
Tristan’s righteous look made her feel diffident. ‘Could it be true? Was I so drunk that I couldn’t tell who’s the enemy?’ Joyce suddenly did not feel so confident anymore.
“No need for the trouble. Maybe I was just drunk and wanted to throw up in your car…” The corners of Tristan’s lips twitched. His heart sank. He was angry, but he did not know what to say to that.
Joyce added, “Even my drunk self hates you so much. You ought to go the other way whenever you see me in the future.”
Before Tristan had time to say anything, the person outside the car impatiently knocked on the window again. Joyce looked to the side. Without another word, she jumped out of the car and turned to get into Kai’s car.
Kai’s exceptionally handsome face carried a coldness and disdain at this time.
“Mr. Beckett, do you have nothing better to do? My sister went out for a drink, but you’re still pestering her?” Tristan swept a glance at Joyce’s figure and slowly withdrew his eyes.
His voice was deep and cold. “She’s drinking with a dozen men.
Aren’t you guys worried?” Kai let out a cold laugh. “Worried about what? My sister can drink with as many people as she likes! How could a successful woman like my sister have any less than a dozen silent men backing her?” Tristan’s face instantly turned glum.
The anger in his eyes could barely be restrained, but he desperately had to hold himself back. That was because Kai was Joyce’s brother.
Tristan could not beat him up even if he wanted to! Kai took advantage of this and laughed unrestrainedly.
“Mr. Beckett, you wanted to drink with my sister, right? Unfortunately, my sister’s taste in men improved drastically, so you’re no longer qualified!”
After that, Kai slowly turned around and got into the car without paying any attention to Tristan Beckett again. Mr. Anderson then started the car engine and drove away immediately.
Joyce went back home and had a good night’s sleep.
The light outside spilled through the curtains onto the ground. It turned out that Tigger had changed the room’s sleep mode into an active mode. Tigger was now lying lazily on the balcony swing.
Its four little paws trembled and shrank as it felt scared yet happy.
Joyce was woken up by Julie’s phone call in the morning. She fumbled around helplessly for her phone.
“Did you and Yvette discuss amongst yourselves to not let me sleep in every day?” Julie’s calm voice had a hint of concern.
“You were taken away by Tristan Beckett last night. He didn’t do anything to you, right?” Joyce was jolted awake.
“He took me away?” ‘Didn’t I get into his car by myself?’ “Yeah, Roman, the good-for-nothing, didn’t dare to refuse Tristan Beckett, but I called Kai right after. Nothing happened in between, right?” Joyce’s eyebrows jumped.
“That son of a b*tch Tristan Beckett dared to lie to me?! “No, my third brother came quickly.” “That’s good.” Julie hung up after a casual chat. However, Joyce was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
‘I was fooled by him?!’ Knowing that Joyce was awake, the maids brought up some hangover tea for her.
Joyce ate breakfast and she later carried Tigger to J&L Corporation. Tigger’s program was changed by Maverick, but Molly Stewart must have a way to change Tigger back.
Joyce could not allow Tigger to like the people she hated. The receptionist saw Joyce walking over and immediately came forward with a respectful smile.
“Welcome, Ms. Powell. Mr. Lichman didn’t know that you would be coming over today. Let me inform him immediately…” Joyce raised her hand.
“Oh no, I’m here to look for Molly Stewart. Is she in?” The receptionist paused for a moment.” Of course, she is. Please wait in the lounge.”
Joyce raised her eyebrows and breathed a sigh of relief. ‘Great! Now I can solve this stupid issue that’s been bugging me!’ When she got to the lounge, Joyce stroked Tigger’s soft fur.
“In the future, you must be assertive. You can’t just agree when someone wants to modify your program. You have to learn to reject him, okay?” Tigger nestled in her arms aggrievedly.
( “But Papa is the most handsome person in the world! Mama, you must acknowledge the truth!” Joyce just wanted to pick Tigger up by the neck and teach it a lesson.
At this time, the door to the lounge suddenly opened. “Joyce, you’re here!” Molly Stewart was wearing a white lab coat and had her hair pulled into a messy bun.
Joyce raised her head in delight, but before she could greet Molly, her smile instantly froze when she noticed the two people who came in after Molly.
“Mr. Lichman? Mr. Beckett?” Gerard Lichman and Tristan Beckett walked in one after the other. One with a smile, while the latter was expressionless. Joyce took a deep breath.
‘He’s like a bloody ghost haunting me!’ Gerard pushed up his gold-framed glasses. “It’s been a while, Ms. Powell. Congratulations for coming back in one piece.” Joyce chuckled. “Thank you.”
Gerard saw that Joyce had no intention of greeting Tristan, so to ease the awkwardness, he coughed and said, “Oh, it just so happened that Mr. Beckett was here for a meeting.
We thought that you might want to know about the progress of the AI project, so we came here to discuss it with you.
After all, you’ve been in charge of this project all this while.” He felt that this was the best reason and thought that his excuse was flawless.
Joyce said in the flattest tone possible, Haven’t I handed over this project long before my accident?” Gerard only managed a weak “oh”.
Just when everyone thought that the atmosphere was starting to get awkward, Tristan suddenly opened his mouth.
His voice was gentle and calm. “After drinking so much last night, are you feeling better now?”
After Tristan Beckett finished speaking, there was an indescribable and eerie silence in the air.
Joyce’s face stiffened, and her expression became extremely unnatural for a moment. Soon, she hooked up the corners of her lips into a faint cold smile.
“Much better now. Even my memory has recovered extraordinarily well. I can now remember all the lies you told, Mr. Beckett…”
Joyce did not even bother to cover up anything. She just wanted to tear off Tristan Beckett’s fake face! However, Tristan’s reaction was unexpected.
He did not have a second of uneasiness and guilt, nor the nervousness and shame after being exposed.
His frankness made Joyce look like she was the one being unreasonable.
The corners of his lips carried a faint and gentle smile as if he was being very tolerant and indulgent towards her mockery.
“That’s good.” Joyce rolled her eyes and could not help but close her eyes and take a deep breath.
Molly Stewart coughed and broke this awkward silence. “Joyce, what did you come to see me for?” Before Joyce could say anything, Tigger’s eyes lit up when it saw Tristan.
It then jumped down from Joyce’s arms, Tigger went to Tristan’s feet and hugged his leg with its two paws.
