Chapter 5 My Husband!

Joanne focused on drinking her fruit juice and eating fruits.

She had to pull Freya away and go walk around once she was done. Otherwise, Freya and the man would really "get familiar with that guy on the bed."

Someone tapped on Joanne's shoulders when she was putting a strawberry into her mouth.

Joanne looked up. It was indeed that wench Freya.

Freya smiled radiantly and pointed at the man who bought her the long island iced tea. "This is Travis Clark!" Then, she pointed at another man. "This is Travis's friend,Ryan."

Ryan Collins extended his hand at Joanne. "Hello, nice to meet you."

Joanne swallowed the strawberry calmly. Her right hand was wet from eating fruits, and she dried it on her pants. Then, neither urgently nor slowly, she shook Ryan's hands. "Hello."

Ryan's heart fluttered.

Joanne's action of wiping her hand was extremely adorable to him.

He naturally sat beside Joanne. He said, "I saw you the moment you entered. It's a pity I didn't have a chance to find out your name."

The man wearing a white shirt looked clean and charming.An average person would have already fallen for him long ago.

However, Joanne just answered politely, "I'm Joanne."

"Your name sounds nice."

He smiled lightly. There was not a trace of lying of intentional flattery in his tone and only honest praise.

Joanne felt more comfortable and said, "Thank you."

Just then, Brian and Chris entered. They had never imagined that they would see the two people they were very familiar with.

The two men's steps stopped at the same time even though they had not planned it.

Chris's gaze landed on Freya. She was standing very close to an unknown man.

His pupils constricted and a dangerous look passed across his eyes. Then, only a look of disgust remained in his dark eyes.

Gavin Morgan, who was walking behind the two, saw Brian stop suddenly. He asked in confusion, "Are we getting a room or sitting in a booth?"

"Booth." Brian walked toward a certain direction.

Gavin felt that something was odd. He was Brian's assistant and knew that Brian disliked places like bars. And even if he visited, he would only go to a private room. But today... Furthermore, Chris was behaving oddly as well!

He looked at the direction the two of them were walking in. Then, he saw Joanne and Freya chatting with two unknown men.

According to Gavin's many years of experience in life, Joanne and Freya and the two men had just met. As a man, his understanding of men told him that the man who was chatting with Joanne was definitely interested in Joanne. As for the man who was very close to Freya, hehe, he definitely wanted to get a room with Freya.

There would be a good show to watch!

Gavin followed Brian smilingly and sat in the booth behind Joanne.

They could hear Joanne's voice, but Joanne could not see them.

Just then, Freya was trying to find a way to give Joanne and Ryan some time alone so that Joanne could learn how to get familiar with a man quickly. She asked Travis, "Do you want to dance?"

Travis seemed to understand Freya's intentions. Furthermore, he also wanted to spend time alone with such a marvelous creature. He smiled and nodded, and took Freya away.

Chris stood up in the booth beside. He went to sit down at the bar expressionlessly.

The bar overlooked the entire dance floor.

Only Ryan and Joanne remained in the booth.

Ryan had not encountered a girl he was so interested in in a long time. He wanted badly to become close with Joanne. He still looked rather awkward, but unexpectedly, Joanne's expressions and actions were calm and natural. Furthermore, she took the initiative to speak with him.

"Mr. Ryan, what do you work in?"

Ryan answered happily, "Finance! What about you? Looking at you, you must have a simple and wonderful job!"

"Oh, I'm a medical examiner." Joanne took a sip of fruit juice. She gestured to Ryan seriously. "The sort that deals with dead bodies daily. I use knives to cut open bodies, do chemical analysis, examine bodies at crime scenes and etc."

Ryan's features froze. Joanne, however, grew more excited as she spoke. "Oh right, have you heard of the murder atCityscape Apartments a few days ago? When we arrived after receiving a report, the body had already decomposed and there were maggots. The entire house stunk..."

Ryan almost fell off from the sofa. Even if he had an imagination a hundred times better than what he currently had, he could not imagine that Joanne, who looked innocent and simple, was a medical examiner!

"Excuse me, I'm going to the washroom." He needed to calm down.

Freya had gotten rid of Travis temporarily. When she saw Joanne sitting alone on the sofa, her eyes grew wide and then she asked, "Where's your Ryan?"

Joanne took a bite of the cantaloupe and said blandly, "I scared him off, and he went to the washroom. I guess... he won't be back."

Freya understood immediately. "You used that trick again!"

Joanne shrugged, a look of innocence on her face. "I was just describing my job scope. Furthermore, I only mentioned maggots and how bodies smell..."

"I... damn it!" Freya sat down and shook Joanne's shoulders hard. "Why don't you just talk to him about zombies!"

Joanne nodded. "I can talk about that next time."

Freya spluttered. "Joanne, did you really turn into a human from a monster?!"

"You were the one who said that I'm a married woman," Joanne said seriously while eating fruits. "So I thought that I should be a good wife and be loyal to my husband. I cannot do anything to betray my husband."

Freya bellowed. "Get out! You won't get pregnant by just interacting with other men. But, you're just keeping your virginity for the person you like, aren't you? But you're already married to Brian!"

Joanne paused as she peeled her grape, and she felt her head hurt.

If she had known, she would not tell Shawn and Freya that there was someone she liked when they forced her to tell them why she would not get a boyfriend.

However, it was lucky that she had managed to keep his identity a secret. Otherwise... knowing Freya's character and that she could do anything, Joanne could not imagine what would happen after she got married to Brian.

"Joanne Scott."

A man's voice rang from behind Joanne.

Joanne thought that the voice was rather familiar. And when she recalled to whom the voice belonged to, she felt as if her mind was going to explode for the second time that day. She whipped her head around, and indeed, it was Brian.

"Clang!" Joanne's glass slipped from her hand, shattering into pieces on the floor.

What had Brian heard!

Freya was stunned as well. She pointed at Brian. "Joanne, isn't... isn't that your husband?"
