Keith drank so much that he was a little tipsy. “I… don’t dare to…my nudes are still with her…“
“Hahahahahahahahaha…”
Everyone drank to their heart’s content, and Tristan even more so. In a daze, he remembered Joyce’s face when she looked at him with disgust. ‘Since she wants us to be strangers, should I fulfill her wish?’
Joyce’s alarm clock rang, waking her up from her beauty sleep.
Joyce had requested to go back to her apartment last night. She felt a lot more comfortable without waking up to so many maids.
She looked at her phone and saw that the photos from last night’s party had pushed her and Tristan to fame once again.
(Rich ex—couple suspected to be back together?]
It was attached with a picture of Tristan and Joyce’s kiss at the end of the dance. It was an ingenious shot. Even the lighting and background looked very artistic.
Joyce sneered and did not pay attention to it. She closed the article and opened her email.
Logan had already sent Joyce’s schedule to her early in the morning. Joyce washed up and listened to some finance news.
Last night’s trouble had all been forgotten after a good sleep and she would not let Tristan Beckett affect her mood again.
Yvette kept bombarding Joyce with calls because she had just seen the picture online. She wanted to confirm the truth of the matter because the picture did not look photoshopped.
Joyce picked up and helplessly explained what happened. Yvette then breathed a sigh of relief and started to badmouth the
Becketts, then suddenly said, “Hey, look! The article’s been taken down! “
After checking, Joyce saw that it was gone.
Joyce would not waste her money on this, so who could it be?
Tristan Beckett?
Yvette laughed loudly on the other side of the phone. “Look at our group chat! lan spent money to take it down! ‘
Joyce clicked into their group chat and saw a ton of messages.
[lan Carter: $1 million PR fees! The audacity!]
[Yvette Quimbey: Carter, didn’t you go to the party last night? Why isn’t there a single shot of you?]
(Julie Nixon: If there’s a shot of him, I wonder who’ll pay to take it down…]
(Yvette Quimbey: Hahahahaha! ] (lan Carter: Meanies! ]
Joyce laughed helplessly and sent a message.
(Joyce Powell: Next time, please transfer the money to me directly, then I’ll come out to make a statement.]
(lan Carter: *cries in despair’ “vomits blood*] Joyce put away her phone and was a lot happier.
At about 7:00 am, Logan drove over to pick Joyce up and brought breakfast for her. “I bought this on the way. I don’t know if it’s to your liking…“
Joyce was not that picky and took it. “Thanks. Let’s go.“
‘There’s a meeting at 8:00 am. President Powell said that you’re fully in charge of J&L’s matters and that he won’t ask questions.”
Joyce knew that Grant was delegating it to her as part of her training, so she nodded and said, “Have you contacted J&L? We have to do our inspection in advance.”
“I heard that Beckett Corporation is doing their inspection next week, so I made an appointment for tomorrow morning.”
“Good job.”
Joyce looked down at the documents. She did not want to meet with people from Beckett Corporation. Although Tristan might not be personally involved in this project, she still did not want to take the risk.
They talked on the way to the office about work matters. Joyce was relieved that Grant was willing to give her someone as capable as Logan.
As soon as they arrived at the office, the receptionist came over holding a huge bouquet and looked at her with a smile. “Vice
President Joyce, someone sent you flowers.“
Joyce frowned slightly and glanced at the card on it.
[Dearest Joyce, ll love you for ten thousand years <3 Yours truly, lan Carter] Joyce did an eye-flip in her heart and said to the receptionist, “Throw it away for me, thanks.“ After taking two steps, Joyce stopped in her tracks and looked back. “If there are any more flower deliveries in the future, just reject them.“ She did not want to give lan the slightest hope and wanted to nip his little spark in the bud. “Yes, ma’am. “ The receptionist looked regretful. ‘ These flowers are so pretty…but they’re about to be thrown into the trash can…’ The meeting began on time at 8:00 am. When Joyce went into the conference room, everyone had already arrived. Joyce sat on the main seat and looked at the people in the room. “Our cooperation with J&L Corporation has already begun. Now, we’ll need to form a project team to follow up with the tasks. Logan will send you all a list later.” Everyone knew that this cooperation with J&L Corporation was in a brand new field. Getting involved in this project would likely catapult them to success, so everyone was very eager. After the meeting, Samantha Lindt came to Joyce. “Vice President Joyce, why am I not on the list?“ ‘How can I miss such a good opportunity to reap benefits in this important core project?’ Joyce looked up from her desk and raised her eyebrows. “If every employee who wasn’t on the list came to ask me this question, thousands of people would come knocking on my door. How do you think I should answer?”
Samantha Lindt hated Joyce, but since Joyce had something over her head, Samantha dared not get into an all-out fight with her.
“My experience in leading teams is no less than those on the list, and my performance is one of the best among the senior managers. Vice President Joyce, are you still holding a grudge against me because of what happened last time?“
Samantha was obviously a bit discontented.
Joyce lowered her eyes and laughed. “No, I don’t hold a grudge against you, but I do remember that you were against cooperating with J&L before this. I’m just afraid your attitude will affect our cooperation, so…“
“I will comply with the company’s decision.“ Samantha eagerly showed her allegiance.
Joyce gave her a perfunctory smile. “This list has been announced at the board meeting, so I’m afraid there’s no way to change it now. Let’s talk about it next time we have the chance…“
She started to pack up the things on her desk, giving Samantha an obvious signal that she was done with this conversation.
Samantha gritted her teeth and said, “I’m sure it can still be changed. Vice President Joyce, just wait and see.“
She then turned on her heels and left Joyce’s office with confidence. Joyce’s gaze was deep as she raised her eyebrow. ‘Great! She took the bait.’
In the afternoon, Logan called Joyce’s office phone. “Director Zielinski wants you to meet him at his office.“
‘An old man that’s about to retire?’ Joyce raised her eyebrows. “Sure.“
Aside from Grant and Logan, no one in the company knew of Joyce’s real identity. As the newly instated Vice President, Joyce would like to see what Micah Zielinski wanted to talk to her about.
Micah liked to engage in speculative trading. He only became a member of Powell Corporation’s board of directors through special means and had refused to let go ever since. However, he did not have many shares in the company and was not considered a threat, so they let him be.
Joyce knocked on Micah’s office door and heard a tired voice coming from inside, “Come in.“
She smiled and went in. “Mr. Zielinski, you were looking for me?“
Micah’s eyes lit up when he saw her, but he suddenly thought of something and instantly looked regretful.
