The cold wind kept pouring in, so Charlotte had to force herself to calm down.
Her eyes were covered with red blood, and she could finally hide her grimace after a while.
She deliberately turned her back, and she didn’t want whoever came in to see her.
No matter what, she must not let outsiders see her like this now.
She must maintain her image of perfect gentleness to the outside world.
Only, to her surprise, she was pushed aside by the person who came in, with force.
Joyce just happened to pass by the door of the lounge and vaguely heard a heated argument inside. And it was Juanita's voice.
She hurriedly pushed open the door of the lounge.
Unexpectedly, she saw a woman in a scarlet dress about to hit Juanita.
Without thinking much, she rushed into the lounge, pushed aside the woman, and stepped forward to support Juanita. She asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Juanita didn't expect Joyce to come in unexpectedly.
Hell, Joyce was wearing a mask and was Zora now. She must not be exposed.
Juanita hurriedly squeezed her eyes at Joyce, signaling her to stay out of it.
Joyce was stunned, and only then did she react. She glanced sideways, and it turned out that the person she had just pushed away was none other than Charlotte.
Luckily, she didn't call Juanita's name just now.
Even if she had known Juanita, in such a short time, she would not be so familiar with her.
If she called out her name, then she would be even more suspicious.
Joyce made a gesture to clear her throat, "Chief Secretary, what's going on?"
Then she looked at Charlotte and pretended to recognize her, "This is ... Mrs. Robertson? I didn't expect Mrs. Robertson to be here, and you two are...?"
"I'm just walking around, and I want to get some fresh air."
Joyce smiled at Charlotte, "Mrs. Robertson, I'm sorry for the misunderstanding. Did I hurt you?"
Charlotte touched her arm. Just now Zora had pushed her so hard, and she could still feel the pain even now.
Now in front of her eyes were all the people she didn’t like, Joyce's nemesis Juanita, and Zora Knowles, who seduced Otis.
The more she looked at them, the more angry she became, so she simply flung her sleeves, coldly grunted, and passed between the two of them.
She pushed them both away at the same time, and she threw the door open and left in a huff.
Just now, Zora Knowles' defense of Juanita was like a thorn deep into her heart. She must find out how the two of them met and what their relationship was.
On the other hand, Luther simply walked out of the meeting and went for a walk in the back garden.
It was getting cold at night. Even the air he inhaled gave him a prickly feeling. The silver-white moonlight was sprinkled on the ground, which was as if covered with a thin layer of frost. A few dim landscape lights in the garden enveloped the surrounding with haziness.
