Chapter 86 Curtis only noticed Austin standing there by then.
Austin nodded politely at Curtis, and then introduced himself briefly to Leanne.
"Oh, so you're Joy's boss," Leanne realized with an epiphany.
"Oh, does Joy mentionoften?" Austin asked, "What exactly did she say?" Well, Joy said nothing much about him, just scurses about a lifetwithout sex, infertility, having kids with defects, and things like that.
Joy quickly pinched Leanne, desperately signaling her with her eyes.
Leanne's replied awkwardly, "She says you're a great boss." Austin glanced at Joy meaningfully, her evasive gaze betraying her guilt.

"C"Let's leave it for today," Austin said, "Your friend just moved in. She must be busy. Take the day off and help her out." Joy feigned protest. "No way, Boss. I haven't finished my project, and everyone else is at work. It wouldn't be fair forto take a break!" Con, you're not in the mood for work. If you went in, you'd only distract my other employees.” Ever so polite, Leanne offered, "You've gone out of your way today. Why not cin for a cup of coffee?" "I wouldn't want to impose," Austin declined. "I didn't realize you'd just moved in and didn't bring a housewarming gift. I'll make it up to you sother time. Congratulations on your new home." Contrary to Joy's description, Austin was nothing similar to a modern-day embodiment of a short, ugly, and malicious character that Leanne had initially envisioned.
Leanne hadn't expected him to be so well-mannered and handsome, too..
"Thanks, it's t's very kind of you." "It's the least I can do." The exchange between them was warm and friendly.
Chapter 86 Left on the sidelines, Curtis felt a surge of jealousy and bitterness.
"Why not invitein for a cup of coffee?" he asked.
Leanne glanced at him, clearly uninterested in extending the invitation.
Joy snapped, "See you, Mr. Curtis!" She pulled Leanne inside, about to close the door.
Curtis grabbed Leanne's wrist.
He had raced over in a frenzy, his palm hot, scorching the delicate skin on Leanne's wrist.
"Let's talk." Leanne tried to pull her hand away, but he tightened his grip.
Curtis glanced at Joy, who seemed clueless but was eyeing an opportunity to throw a punch his way. "Give us a moment." "Why should I..." Joy began to protest.
But before she could finish, Austin pulled her aside.
