Chapter 27 Friendship Never Ends
"Of course, I know him. He and I have known each other for many years."
Tiffany glared at Damian's departing figure, then turned around and smiled.
"Did he put in a good word for Leonard Group? Is that why you agreed to come and talk?"
Joye just asked, she didn't expect to get such a clear answer. "He didn't put in a good word for Leonard Group. He put in a good word for you. We've known each other for many years and I have never heard him say anything good about a woman. Little sister, do you know what I mean?"
Joye patted Tiffany on her shoulder with a forced smile. "I think you've misunderstood something. I'm his sister-in-law."
"No, no, no, you no longer have this relationship with him ever since you divorced Shawn. Anything is possible now."
Joye was quiet.
She didn't want such a possibility.
Joye went back to the office with a stiff smile, but there was no happiness on her face.
"President, why aren't you happy to be able to cooperate with them?"
"When you thought it was your efforts that made you successful, but you found out that you succeeded because there was someone secretly helping you. Would you still be happy?" "Are you talking about Yvon?"
Linda was stunned. She thought of what Tiffany said earlier and immediately understood.
"It's fine, let's not talk about this. Now the most important thing is that they quickly design a new product and gain the market's recognition."
The stock price of Leonard Group could be sold based on good news, but a strong company was based on its performance in the market.
As for Yvon's help, it would be the weekend tomorrow. She would thank him properly when she saw him.
At 10 o'clock the next day, her phone vibrated. Joye peeked out from the quilt and grabbed her phone. When she picked it up, she saw Yvon's name on the screen.
"Hello."
"I was worried that you didn't get enough rest, so I didn't call you too early. Are you awake?"
A gentle and low voice came out, and her sluggish mind woke up.
"Have you arrived?
"I'm downstairs, but I'm not in a hurry."
Joye quickly got out of bed and walked to the window. She pulled the curtains open and saw a Jeep downstairs. Yvon was also looking up, so she smiled and waved her hand at him. "Give me ten minutes." Hanging up the phone, she brushed her teeth and washed her face as fast as she could. Then she changed into comfortable sportswear and left the apartment.
"So fast? You were almost as fast as those soldiers in training."
"Don't joke around. I just don't like the feeling of waiting for others. I don't want others to experience what I don't want to experience."
She had waited for so many years. She hoped that he would marry her and love her. She knew what kind of torture it was to wait.
Yvon was stunned at her reply and stopped talking about it. He smiled and opened the car door for her.
"Where are you taking me to?"
After putting on her seat belt, Joye asked curiously as a still-warm packet of breakfast was placed in her hand. "You'll know when we get there. Have some breakfast first." "Thank you."
She didn't know if it was because of the hot food in her hand, but she suddenly felt warmth in her heart. She lowered her head to quietly eat.
Twenty minutes later, the Jeep stopped on the side of the road. Joye looked at the big sign of the entrance at an amusement park and was stunned for a long time before she came to her senses. "I thought you would take me mountain climbing or boxing. Are you sure you want to take me to the amusement park?"
She was already nearing thirty, she was no longer a child of three.
"Screaming and laughing can make people vent and relax. Joye, this is exactly what you need right now."
"So that's why you brought me here. It was also you who talked to Tiffany and Damian. That's why they joined the Leonard Group."
Yvon didn't expect her to find out so quickly. An awkward expression flashed across his face as he said, "I'm sorry. I don't know if you would welcome my help. I just hoped that I can help you share a bit of the burden
"You don't have to apologize. I should say thank you. Yvon, I am very happy to have you as my friend. I hope that our friendship will never end."
Joye looked up at his eyes. No matter if it was a misconception or something else, she hoped that Yvon could understand what she meant.
In this life, she didn't want to have anything to do with another man from the Richard family.
"Yvon naturally understood what she meant. A trace of disappointment flashed across his eyes, but he quickly put on a smile and said, "I am also very happy to have a friend like you. Quickly, let's go in, I've already bought the tickets."
Joye didn't say anything more. They entered the amusement park after checking in. A Rolls-Royce happened to stop on the other side of the road.
"Dad brought me to the amusement park!"
In the car, Dalton was dancing with excitement. Then, he smacked his hand on the window. He couldn't wait anymore, he wanted to jump out of the window to go to the amusement park to play.
"Be good, Dalton. There are a lot of people in the amusement park. You can't simply run around later. You have to hold onto Mom and Dad's hands, okay?"
Vivian smiled and kissed Dalton on the face. Then she smiled at Shawn gratefully. "He saw an advertisement for the amusement park on TV before. After that he kept whining, asking me to bring him here. I'm sorry for disturbing your weekend."
Vivian's words made him less annoyed. His light gray suit made him look young and energetic. "As long as Dalton is happy."
Opening the car door, the three of them got out of the car. Vivian showed the QR code on her phone to the security guard. Soon, they passed the security check and got their wristbands.
Given that the castle he had seen on TV appeared in front of him, the little fellow was so happy that he clapped his hands and jumped up and won. "It's so cool! Dad, I love you so much." Shawn froze before he took another step. His thin lips gently smiled as he reached out to rub Dalton's soft hair. "Then I'll go on all the rides with you once, okay?" "Okay!"
The little boy immediately threw himself into Shawn's arms and kissed him heavily on his cheek.
Vivian looked at the warm and happy scene in front of her with satisfaction. She clenched the red bracelet in her hand. No matter how much effort she needed to put in for her happiness, she would hold it firmly in her hand till the end.
On the other side, after two overly exciting rides, Joye's throat was so dry she felt she was going to die of thirst. Yvon handed her a bottle of mineral water, and his smile made him look much younger. "Is it exciting? Just now, the woman next to me burst into tears."
"Letting it out by screaming a few times would be better than bursting into tears."
She drank some water to ease her sore throat. Yvon was right about screaming being cathartic. She hadn't screamed like this in at least ten years. It was as if she could let go and scream out all the unhappiness that had been suppressed in her heart.
"Why don't we go on a few more exciting rides?"
"No! To tell you the truth, I almost threw up just now. I'm worried that you will be covered by the breakfast in my stomach."
Joye couldn't bear it anymore, so she could only admit defeat. She pointed to the rides in the distance which were more suitable for children. "Let's go and ride those."☐☐☐☐☐☐
