Jovana pinched the flesh of her palm hard and pulled her thoughts back. She didn’t want to make things hard for Normand, so she said quietly, “Just leave it there, you can go out…”
But Normand just stood there and wouldn’t leave.
Jovana looked up,”Anything else?”
Normand hesitated, “Mr. Dunbar said, after he saw you eat, I could leave…”
Jovana frowned a little and didn’t appreciate Armando’s way of forcing people at all.
But in the end, she didn’t make things hard for Normand, opened the takeout box, and sure enough, there were the croissants and orange juice she liked, plus a few light side dishes.
ovana’s eyes looked dim, and she just tasted a few bites.
Normand stood aside and clearly noticed that Jovana looked a lot more worn out, powerless, totally different from the confident ovana in his memory.
Yeah, when you had stuff weighing on your mind, you’d get crushed by it sooner or later.
Normand couldn’t help but sigh. He thought for a moment, but still couldn’t hold back and said, “Ms. Atherton, what happened at he hospital really surprised us. No one expected that woman to fall into a coma. After Mr. Dunbar heard the news last night, he mmediately arranged for her to be transferred for observation and sent experts from the UK to help.”
ovana paused. Did that woman really not wake up?
Normand said, “Last night Mr. Dunbar called me in the middle of the night and asked security to open the company door for him. He spent the whole night at the office looking for his bracelet…”
Came to the company looking for a bracelet?
Didn’t Armando go keep Juliette company last night?
Really… Jovana kept a straight face, but her hand holding the fork tightened. She struggled to pick up a pork turnover and bit into
L
The food I used to love tasted like wax to me now.
Normand sighed. He didn’t say much, and didn’t dare to say much either. “Actually, in Mr. Dunbar’s heart, you were the most
mportant…”
Even though Armando had Juliette around and sometimes did spoil her a bit, from his outsider’s point of view, Armando treated uliette like a pet, just for fun.
He would never treat Jovana like that.
He didn’t dare say the rest, and he was too embarrassed to say it. It was pretty ironic.
Jovana mayed quiet, not sure if she was listening or not, just poked at the pork turnovers in the box with her fork
The size of the epidermis didn’t seem to change.
But as soon as she tasted it, she knew the flavor had changed, and there was less filling
Just like her marriage with Armando, no matter how glamorous it looked on the outside, it was rotten inside and could never go
back to how it was.
‘Go out.” Jovana swallowed the bitterness in her throat.
Normand nodded and left.

Jovana quickly covered her mouth, got up and rushed into the bathroom. She threw up like crazy, puking out everything she just ate, and in the end, even bile came out.
I didn’t know how much time had passed.
She rinsed her mouth, looked up at her tired face in the mirror, and gave a wry smile.
“How did I end up like this?”
The things Armando bought, just like him, hurt her body and hurt her heart.
Jovana tried hard to hold back her tears, took a deep breath, and walked out of the bathroom.
The phone on the desk buzzed. Lindsey sent a message and gave some feedback on the design draft she sent over last night.
After Jovana finished reading, she found the draft and started editing it right away, totally focused on her work and not letting herself think about anything else…
Vana, what did you draw?” The office door had been quietly opened at some point.
[ovana’s hand holding the paintbrush suddenly stopped. She looked up and saw the man staring at her in disbelief, “What are you painting?”
Nothing, just killing time…”
Jovana panicked, quickly put away the drawing, crumpled it up, and threw it in the trash.
Armando was still suspicious. He had just vaguely seen that what was drawn on it looked like jewelry.
When did Jovana start doing this?
And also, why did you hide it from him?
Armando thought it was unbelievable and was just about to ask more when he was interrupted by a sudden phone ring.
Kaitlynn Dunbar’s phone.
Armando barely frowned and looked up at Jovana.
