Joyce got into the car and left. When she heard Tristan’s misunderstanding earlier, she felt hurt because he did not know what kind of person she was after three years of marriage.
After a moment, Joyce regained composure and did not show any mood fluctuations.
She promised not to look back and repeat the same mistakes twice. Tristan Beckett had nothing to do with her.
Cl a ster 34 Treated You Like a Sister lan hummed a tune and glanced at Joyce. “I saved you today, so how would you like to thank me?*
“What kind of gift do you want? Or do you just want me to transfer money into your account?“
lan looked at her with a smile. “This is the first time a woman tries to slap me with money, but I’d prefer if you pledge yourself to me! “
Joyce gave him a sidelong glance. “Dream on! “ “Why? You should give me a chance! “ lan grunted.
Joyce gave him a faint glance. “I’ve always treated you like a sister.“
lan’s lips twitched. “Anyway, I ‘Il prove that I’m the most suitable person for you.“
Not knowing where his confidence came from, Joyce could not help but laugh. “Suit yourself.
After all, Second Young Master Carter’s enthusiasm usually would not last a month.
lan looked at her smile and felt a pain in his chest. He would not give up this opportunity to anyone else again.
After Joyce got back home, Yvette excitedly called her to ask about the progress.
Joyce told her what happened. She paused slightly when she mentioned Tristan Beckett and lightly brushed over it.
“This Samantha Lindt is like a pimp at those nightclubs. I think her talent’s wasted in the company. She should really just be a pimp instead.“
Joyce lowered her head and laughed. “I can’t just close this case sloppily. Now isn’t the time to fire her yet. Samantha is capable, she just doesn’t have the right mindset. She’s just a clown anyway. It won’t do me any harm to keep her around as long as she doesn’t make trouble.“
The next day.
Early in the morning, Joyce went to the office and found that her chair was replaced with a new one. She was satisfied with
Logan’s efficiency and brewed herself a cup of coffee when her door was slammed open.
“Joyce, are you deliberately trying to mess things up? I clearly asked you to accompany Mr. Zeller to dinner, but you left me behind?*
Samantha barged in furiously. She still had some ambiguous marks on her neck that she could not hide. Flint Zeller’s eccentricity was indeed horrifying.
Afterward, Samantha thought about it and knew that Joyce must have backed out. Otherwise, why would Flint Zeller not take a bite of the cake that was at his mouth?
Joyce waved her hand, signaling for Logan to leave, then hooked her lips into a seeming smile as she looked at Samantha.
Samantha suddenly felt guilty and no longer looked so fierce.
“Forget it. This will all be over once you sign the contract.“
Samantha brought the contract over and threw it in front of Joyce.
Joyce did not even raise her head, took out her phone, and tapped on it a few times to play a recording of yesterday’s dinner conversation.
“Joyce, what’s the point of you only relying on Grant Powell? You’d be better off getting a few more backers. Think about it,
Grant clearly wants to do you harm because he just left you in this position without even guiding you. He probably won’t marry you either…”
“Look at the clothes you’re wearing. They don’t even have a brand. Did you buy them off those online catalogs? How do you get to and from work? A taxi?”
“To be honest, I’ve been in your shoes. You won’t lose out if you follow Mr. Zeller. He prepared a secondhand Audi for you. With
Mr. Zeller’s help on the project, you’ll be able to sit firmly in your position…”
Samantha’s face turned pale and her body trembled slightly.
Joyce laughed. “Samantha, if I expose this recording, the company will thoroughly investigate all the projects you handle. If so, you won’t be able to stay in this industry anymore and might even be imprisoned. Are you really willing to give up your career for
FH Corporation?“
Samantha would not give it up.
A trace of panic flashed in Samantha’s eyes as her face paled. She immediately spoke with a respectful tone, “Nic- Vice
President Joyce, I was too reckless earlier. FH Corporation’s project isn’t that great anyway, and that company is in fact already an empty shell…“
Joyce nodded with satisfaction. “Then don’t mention the cooperation with FH Corporation in the future. I recognize your capability, but you have to use it for your own work. Don’t worry about other companies.“
“Yes, Vice President Joyce.“ Samantha stiffened slightly.
After dealing with Samantha, Joyce had to study J& L’s project. Getting this project was imperative because, besides Tristan’s
Beckett Corporation, there was no other company that had a stronger background than Powell Corporation to compete for this project.
Joyce found out that Beckett Corporation did not intend to get involved in artificial intelligence , so she was confident about landing this deal.
The sky gradually dimmed. Logan came into Joyce’s office with a stack of documents and said, “Ms. Joyce, J&L Corporation’s dinner turned into a networking party. They invited a lot of people and intend to announce their project partners on their anniversary. They’ve sent us a VIP invite. Should I contact them beforehand?”
Joyce rubbed her temples. “J&L Corporation is pretty confident in their project. They know that they have a big slice of the pie and everyone’s waiting to get a cut. There’s no need to contact them in advance. We have the best conditions, so we’ll just attend the party.”
Logan nodded. “Yes, Vice President. Do you need me to arrange for a car to take you home?”
Joyce glanced at the time. It was indeed quite late. Just as she was about to leave work, there was a knock at the door. lan stood there with a seductive smile and looked devilishly handsome. “Ms. Powell, do I have the honor to invite you to dinner?”
Seeing the man, Joyce could not help but smile. “Of course, I ‘d love for Second Young Master Carter to buy me dinner.”
Logan wisely retreated.
lan was a gentleman and went over to put on Joyce’s coat, took her bag, and excitedly said, “I’ve driven away our biggest third wheel, Hugh, so we can finally have some alone time today! “
Joyce rolled her eyes at lan and did not take him seriously because lan was always flirting and fooling around with countless women.
“lm hungry. What are we eating?”
“There’s a new lovers’ restaurant in South City… “ Before lan could finish his words, Joyce swept a glance at him, so lan continued, “…That I just opened, so let’s go check it out.“
Joyce strutted out in her stilettos. lan followed closely behind her with a smug face.
The restaurant was on the top floor of the building that had a great view of the city. They could see the colorful neon lights scattered everywhere that showed the vibrance and opulence of the city.
