CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

“So that's what happened.” Caitlin nodded in response before adding, “I didn't notice anything strange about Joyce recently, though.”

“Are you sure? She sounded somewhat troubled when I last contacted her. Please try to recall as many details as you can, Mrs. Rivers. I'm really worried about Joyce,” pleaded Natalie earnestly.

Caitlin then responded to the woman with another nod before trying to remember if her daughter behaved oddly in the past two days. “I remember now!” exclaimed Caitlin suddenly with her eyes wide open.

Natalie immediately straightened her back when she heard the woman. “What is it, Mrs. Rivers?”

“It's nothing alarming, but I have noticed how Joyce tends to stare into space when she sits on the couch in the living room. She does that too when she's in her room. And when she's not doing that, she'd buy a bunch of supplements and clothes for me and her father. I mean, she used to do that too whenever she came home, but I've never seen her buy this much stuff in a single visit before,” explained Caitlin.

Natalie furrowed her eyebrows tightly. “That does sound like something's wrong. Has something happened to you guys, Mrs. Rivers? Maybe that's why Joyce is acting that way.”

“No, nothing happened at all,” replied Caitlin while shaking her head.

“That's strange,” murmured Natalie.
