CEO's Passion: Love by Mistake

It was obvious to Natalie that Joyce did not intend to return to the office as she had already handed over her work.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have needed to text her to come back, and nor would she have doubted her friend's intentions.

When Joyce saw Natalie's reply, her heart skipped a beat.

She did not expect that Natalie could tell that she was lying straight away.

Forget it!

Joyce sighed before replying with a voice message. She said, “Nat, I'm so sorry. I had lied to you indeed. It's true that I don't feel like going back. In fact, I don't think I will go back ever again. It's better this way.”

After that, the woman turned off her phone.

When Justin walked back carrying a cup of milkshake and a cup of coffee, he happened to hear what Joyce said. “Who were you speaking to? Where are you going back to?”

“It was my best friend,” Joyce replied, taking over the milkshake from the man before continuing, “My best friend and I started a fashion design company together in J City. She was asking me to return to work, but I don't intend to do that.”
