Female Novel
Chapter 501
Joyce was about to meet Karl in the evening for dinner. She wanted to let Karl know that she had seen
Charlotte at Skymall in the afternoon and that Charlotte was with her accompanying lieutenant.
Karl happened to be downtown on an errand, and it could be seven or eight in the evening before he
could finish his work.
So Joyce went downtown early to wait for him for a while.
She found a cafe with casual meals, ordered a mocha coffee first, and sat down to wait for Karl.
In order not to cause any misunderstanding, she also sent a text message to Juanita, telling her that
she had a personal matter to talk to Karl about the case.
Soon after, Juanita sent a witty reply.
"Well, I, his future girlfriend, approve!"
Joyce laughed out loud. Juanita was really a good girl! She was always so easy-going and cheerful.
She must be such a good match for Karl, but Karl was so insensitive when it came to such a matter.
She was afraid it would take him a long time before he could recognize his own feelings.
She swiped her phone for a while and waited until almost eight o'clock before Karl arrived in a hurry.
Today he was wearing a beige trench coat and looked quite elegant.
Hurrying into the cafe, he pulled out a seat and sat down across from Joyce.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for me so long, something came up today unfortunately. I finished it just
now."
"It's okay, you must be hungry. I won't treat you to a big meal today, let's have two set meals." Joyce
smiled and summoned the waiter, "You may bring what I just ordered."
"Okay. Please wait a moment." The waiter politely left.
"You are in such a hurry, are there any new leads?" Karl asked bluntly.
"You, too, are a workaholic." Joyce laughed.
"Today, I went to Skymall this afternoon for some car parts. As you know, I'm in the automotive design
business and wanted to go there for inspiration. I didn't expect that I would meet Charlotte, who had a
lieutenant with her. He was tall and lanky, with chiseled features and fair looks. He did look well-trained.
I saw them both walking out of the jewelry store together, and Charlotte lied and said they had just
come to Skymall," Joyce recounted.
"Moreover, I saw the two of them flirting at the corner. I saw it clearly with my own eyes, their action
was ambiguous, and they just didn't notice me at that time. Later, when Charlotte saw me, she
immediately distanced herself from him. I felt that something was wrong, so I think I need to tell you
now." Joyce took a sip of coffee and finished in one breath.
"Wait a minute, I'll show you something."
Karl took out his phone, opened his photos, flipped through them for a while, and found a photo before
he handed his phone to Joyce.
"Take a look, is this the guy?"
Joyce took Karl's phone, glanced at it, and immediately said, "Yes, that's him! You know this guy too?"
"Hmm." Karl nodded gently.
"His name is Ricky, and he was specifically assigned to Charlotte by General Ralph as a personal
guard to keep her safe."
"Ricky ..." Joyce softly said the name.
"That's right. This person has got quite a background. At first, I couldn't find any information about him,
after all, he is in the military. The police could not interfere. Later I learned something about him
through my own contacts in the Capital. This person was formerly in the special forces, and was sent
overseas for all kinds of missions. He’s quite familiar with guns, and anti-terrorism means. He only
recently returned to the country. Because of his outstanding performance, he was promoted from a
soldier to an ordinary lieutenant. Now he has been selected as Charlotte's personal guard, and in a
short time, he had been promoted to captain. Some sources tell me that soon, he will be promoted tonovelbin
Major. That’s quite fast."
