Chapter 55 Belated Birthday Greetings

• In front of Joyce Albert stood Dicky Johnson, whose origins were unknown. She was momentarily taken aback and asked in a formal tone, "May I inquire as to why you are here?"
• Dicky chuckled awkwardly and replied, "Well, you see, Miss. Claire's documents were misplaced in my office, and I just found them. So, I asked Alicia to go home on her own and came to the hotel to deliver these documents to you." Pausing for a moment, Dicky looked into Joyce's eyes, which were filled with a sense of urgency. "Furthermore, I remembered that today is your birthday, and I realized that you haven't eaten yet. So..."
• Joyce's mind was preoccupied with the man who had been pursuing her. She paid little attention to Dicky's words, only vaguely catching the mention of food.
