?Chapter 619:


    From the bathroom, Joyce’s voice floated out casually.


    “Once you’re done signing, join me.”


    Resolutely, Alexander made his way toward the bathroom.


    Steam enveloped the room, where Joyce, unclothed and rxed, perched on the edge of the sink, smoking a cigarette.


    Upon his entrance, she flicked her cigarette away with a smirk.


    “Carry me to the bath.”


    Alexander’s eyes were zed over, and he moved as though on autopilot. He bent down to lift Joyce and ced her in the bathtub. Joyce smiled, pinched Alexander’s chin, and said, “Come in.”


    Heplied without a word.


    As Joyce stretched out in the soothing water, closing her eyes in contentment, shemanded, as if casting a spell, “Kneel. Kiss me.”


    As the night wore on, it became evident to Alexander that his proud, self-respecting persona was crumbling under Joyce’s demeaning demands.


    Three dayster, when Doug returned, Alexander exited the vi through the back door, clutching the check Joyce had given him. After some distance, he nced back.


    Joyce was hunched over the window, with Doug behind her.


    Yet, her gaze seemed to pierce through the distance, locking with Alexander’s.


    As Alexander held the check, a wave of revulsion overcame him, and he vomited forcefully by the roadside.


    Your new favorite is gα?ησν????s?c?m


    After a moment, he recovered, clenched the check tightly, straightened up, and strode into the darkness, a resolve hardening within him.


    Back at the office, Dani was immersed in her work. Lillian, watching the news, turned to Dani with a click of her tongue.


    “Have you seen this? Alexander is nowpletely under Joyce’s control.”


    Dani, who had been preupied with acquiring newpanies and engrossed in her projects, barely registered the gossip. Noticing the shift in focus, Lillian redirected the conversation.


    “Katrina also met with Joyce recently. Joyce apparently handed her ten million, which Katrina used to fortify her security. Should we step in?”


    Dani raised an eyebrow.


    “Doug’s pretty open-handed with Joyce. There’s no need for us to get involved. Besides, isn’t Nina starting tomorrow? Elyse is far more eager to see Katrina dealt with than we are.”


    The following morning, Nina made a striking entrance in a vibrant pink ensemble, capturing everyone’s attention. Known for her polite demeanor, she courteously greeted everyone at thepany.


    As Lillian escorted her through various departments, Nina’s charm quickly won over many of her male colleagues.


    Hailing from the Dury family, renowned for their attractiveness, Nina skillfully used her beauty to influence those around her.


    Yet, she tended to look down on those she considered beneath her.


    Her motivation for joining Elite Lux was clear—she had already marked a target.


    When Lillian and Nina returned to the secretary department, Nina’s gaze locked onto Cedric.


    Ignoring Lillian, Nina approached Cedric.
