Female Novel
Chapter 1042
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.
After reconciling the accounts and sorting out the mail, it was time to grab her handbag and leave for
her office on the top floor of Cloud Bay Tower.
By mid-afternoon.
Joyce was working on some aimless design ideas on her drawing panel.
While she drew the sketches, her thoughts had long drifted away and she didn't even know what she
was thinking.
At this time.
She received a phone call from a number she didn't recognize.
At first, she was a little hesitant and didn't answer.
However, the unknown number did not just stop and continued to call her.
Looking at the flashing screen, she finally frowned and picked up the phone.
Much to her surprise, a familiar voice came from the phone.novelbin
Surprisingly, it was Justin.
"Ms. Knowles, excuse me, is it convenient for you to talk now?"
Joyce was sitting inside the swivel chair and idly answering the phone, and when she heard Justin's
clear voice, she flinched and immediately sat upright.
Justin, how could he call her? It was unbelievable.
After all, she was now Zora Knowles, and her biggest concern was that she didn’t want Justin to know
who she is.
"Excuse me, you are? I couldn't hear your voice. I'm sorry." Joyce deliberately pretended not to
recognize Justin's voice.
"It's normal. Ms. Knowles, after all, we've only met twice. I'm Justin, I wonder if Ms. Knowles
remembers me?" On the phone, his voice was very gentle.
"Of course I remember you, Mr. Henderson of JAXAH Corporation. How do you do?" Joyce took over,
"What can I do for you, Mr. Henderson?"
