Chapter 340


    Joyce left the conference room alone after that.


    She wanted to go back to the automotive project team, but halfway there, she received a phone call


    from a housing agent.


    She looked around, walked to an unupied ce and pressed the answer button.


    "Hey, any news?" She inquired.


    "Miss Knowles, I''ve checked several properties before and none of them could meet your


    requirements. Just now they listed a new property. One bed, near the subway, and only twenty minutes


    from the R&S Group. It is very convenient for you. It''s just that it''s in a prime location and the price is


    rtively high. Do you have any interest?"


    "What''s the name? How much?" Joyce asked.


    "Blue Ocean Apartment, and a one-bed room costs six thousand a month." The agent said.


    "Six thousand!" Joyce whimpered, "I told you I want something about two or three thousand."


    She had heard of Blue Ocean Apartment. She had studied all the nearby houses. Blue Ocean

    Apartment is a white-cor gathering ce. It was great and its environment was beautiful, but the


    price was on the high side.


    "Sorry, Miss Knowles. Properties with the right price would be much farther away and there is really


    nothing that meets your needs at the moment. Since you are in a hurry to move, we don’t have much


    choice here, so why don''t you wait a while longer, give me a week or two, there is always something


    suitable."


    A week or two? Joyce thought, she was afraid she would not be able to wait that long. She


    remembered how Charlotte had cried and knelt down to her before, and really couldn''t dy any


    longer.


    "Can we rent it for two or three months first?" Joyce asked, intending to move in as soon as possible


    and move againter when she came across a better option.


    "Miss Knowles, this is fine. Blue Ocean Apartment allows you to rent for as few as three months, with a


    deposit of one month. Do you think it''s okay?" The agent asked.


    "OK, it''s settled, I''ll rent for three months first. When can we move? Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow?"


    Joyce asked.


    "Anytime is fine. Don''t you need to go to have a look first?" The agent asked again.


    "No, no need. You can just send the video of the house to me. I''ll take a lookter and transfer the


    deposit to you. I want everything to settle down as soon as possible. I''ll go over and sign the contract


    tonight." Joyce said.


    "Okay." The agent replied.


    Joyce hung up and a few secondster, the agent sent a video of the house.


    She opened it up, her long fingers sliding the screen. The house looked tidy and neat, and the


    decoration was also good. Overall she was very satisfied.


    "What are you looking at?"


    She was watching carefully when an ice-cold voice came from behind her.


    She was so startled that her hand shook and the phone identally slipped off.


    Luther saw it, and instantly caught her phone and picked it up. When he saw the video of the house of


    her phone, his handsome face instantly turned bad.


    Joyce turned her head and quickly snatched the phone back from his hand. A trace of guilt shed


    across her face. But why? They were never a real couple. Now she was looking for a ce and moving


    out, what could be wrong with that?


    Luther''s original smile froze at the corners of his lips, "You''re looking for a house? Want to move out?"


    Joyce put the phone behind her back and raised her eyes without saying anything. Strange, obviously


    she got all the reasons in the world but when she looked at him in the eyes, she could not say a word.


    What was wrong with her?
