Chapter 373 “You too! Have an early night!” “Good night.” “Good night!” After Jaydon and Joanna said goodnight to each other, they suddenly found that there was nothing else to say.
Although Jaydon called her every day, Joanna didn’t really have much to say to him.
After ending the call. Joanna felt a little troubled.
Miranda had run a bath for her. Joanna immersed herself in the bathtub and thought for a long time.
She really did not know where the road in the future would lead her to! However, no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she had to work hard to live.
The next day, at the office of the Haynes Group.
When Joanna arrived at the office, the atmosphere was a little strained and peculiar.
Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger were leaving the company at the same time. It felt as if the Haynes Group was on the verge of collapse.
The employees were also a little uneasy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe reception staff greeted politely, “Good day. Miss Haynes!” “Good day, everyone!” When Joanna got to her office, Luna walked in with a stack of contracts.
“Miss Haynes, this is the agreement to buy back the shares. Please go through it again.” “Mm—hmm. No issue.” “Miss Haynes, are you really planning to pledge 30% of your shares as collateral?” Joanna frowned slightly. “There's no turning back now that we have embarked on this course of action. The wheels are already set in motion. We have no choice but to push onward.
Luna frowned but did not say anything else.
Just like that, life went on uneventfully.
In a flash, another half a month passed.
Today was already the 22nd of July. It would be Joanna's birthday in two days.
Beep! Beep! Beep! “Hello, Jay!” Jaydon’s voice rang out from the phone. “Joann. your 25th birthday is in two days! How do you plan to celebrate?” “Well... No need to celebrate.” Jaydon sighed softly and said apologetically, “I'm sorry. | may not be able to rush back to celebrate your birthday with you. You won't be angry with me, will you?” Joanna laughed. “It's okay! | don't really care about this. Birthdays have no meaning to me other than reminding me I'm at year older.” Ever since Joanna was young, no one had celebrated her birthday for her except her mother.
Ever since her mother passed away, she had not celebrated her birthday anymore.
“But don’t worry. Although | can’t go back, I'll get someone to send you a gift to express my blessing.” Joanna wanted to refuse his gesture initially upon hearing that.
However, after thinking it over, she eventually accepted. “Ha! Alright!” “Joann, | love you!” Jaydon expressed his love over the phone again.
Joanna paused for a few seconds before replying, “I love you too.” “Mm-hmm. Then | won't hold you back anymore!” Im ending the call!” In the blink of an eye, it was already the 24th of July.
This day happened to fall on a Friday.
Chapter 373 At the end of the month, Mr. Paul and Mr. Roger would completely hand over the work at hand. Therefore, Joanna was exceptionally busy at work.
Joanna did not give any thought to celebrating her birthday at all and went to work as usual.
The employees didn’t seem to know that it was Joanna's birthday either. Everyone was busy and no one paid attention to this matter.
At the office, Joanna was busy with work when Luna knocked on the door and entered.
“What is it?” Luna said excitedly. “Miss Haynes, there's a delivery package for you! It looks huge.” Joanna was puzzled when she heard that. “Delivery package? | haven't been doing online shopping lately!” “It's really a delivery package for you. Maybe it's a gift from someone else.” “Oh, put it in the security room first. I'll take it when | knock ofl TM “No, you have to sign for it yourself!” “Is that s0?” Joanna stopped what she was doing and followed Luna out of the office.
“Where is it?” “The delivery guy is waiting at the reception!” “Okay, okay... Joanna strolled toward the office’s reception.
After she reached the reception counter, she saw a large cardboard box on the floor.
It was approximately half the height of a person.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Are you Ms. Joanna Haynes?” the delivery guy asked politely.
“Er... yes.” “This is your package. Please sign for it.” Joanna looked at the box suspiciously. “What is it? It's so big!” “Miss Haynes, once you open it and take a look, you'll know!” Joanna scrutinized the package closely, suspecting that it was probably sent by Jaydon.
“I'll open it after work!” “Miss Haynes, this delivery box looks so big. It's impossible to move it without opening it!” When Joanna heard that, she thought that it made sense.
She might as well open it up for a look.
“Do you have scissors?” “Here you go.” The reception staff quickly handed Joanna a pair of scissors.
Joanna took the scissors and sliced through the sticky tape.
Just as she was about to open the delivery box, a human head popped out suddenly.
“Argh!” Joanna was not mentally prepared and got a big fright.
“Surprise!” Jaydon held a large bouquet of flowers and stood up straight from the box. He smiled at Joanna.
Joanna got another shock and was dumbfounded instantly.
It never occurred to her that Jaydon would come back! “Joann, happy birthday!” “Jay...” “Happy birthday!” Jaydon jumped out of the box and handed a large bouquet of Blue Enchantresses to Joanna.
Bang! Bang! Bang! At the same time, numerous firecrackers went off, and colorful confetti sprinkled down all over the place.
More than a dozen employees then gathered around and started singing the birthday song.
“Happy birthday to you! Happy birthday to you...” hapter
