Natalie was overwhelmed by a sense of melancholia.

Only after a while did she say, "All right, then.I won't ask about what you're going to do.However, I have a question, and I need you to answer me.This thing you're doing, does it have something to do with Stanley?"

Joyce moved her lips, and it seemed like she wasn't willing to say anything in response.

However, her heart softened when she saw Natalie's pleading eyes.

I'd have to distance myself from Stanley so that Nat wouldn't have an idea about what I'm going to do.

She nodded and answered, "Yes.It has something to do with Stanley, albeit not much."

Natalie nodded.

"I've heard enough.Okay, then.I'll respect you and stop asking.However, promise me you'll return to J City after you're done with your plan, okay? Come back to our company and be the vice president.That position is only for you.Do you understand?"

She patted Joyce's shoulder and continued, "Back then, we've already said that we'd build the company together and establish our own haute couture brand.Since our dream isn't even halfway completed yet, I hope you are not letting me complete it on my own because that'll just be selfish.That's all, Joyce.I'll wait for you in J City."

With that, she smiled faintly and left Joyce's room.

Tears welled up in Joyce's eyes as she watched her leave.

A while later, she started sobbing, and she murmured to herself, "I'm sorry, Nat.I'm destined not to be able to achieve that dream of ours.I'd have to break my promise to you.I'm sorry."
