Chapter 24
\nAfter Being Cheating novel Chapter 24<\/p>\n
Janet returned to her seat and began to handle the work assigned by Spark.<\/p>\n
“Janet Shao is too rich to care about the $1000 full attendance award.<\/p>\n
She is the sworn daughter of our chairman and our CEO’s fiancee. She works here just for fun.”<\/p>\n
“Fiancee? For a celebrity like our CEO, the press must’ve published by now his engagement to her! This must be another joke of our chairman’s wife.”<\/p>\n
“Who knows how the rich people’s world is like…”<\/p>\n
Janet began to sort out the documents and didn’t hear a thing about what other people were talking about around her.<\/p>\n
But Spark heard everything. He looked at Janet and reluctantly shook his head.<\/p>\n
A spoiled little princess like Janet wasn’t the right match for Daniel; Kate and Daniel were made for each other.<\/p>\n
Nobody in the company dared to provoke Janet anymore because of Lola, and Janet was glad about it. In the following days, Janet was very low-key, and dedicated herself to the work assigned by Spark.<\/p>\n
Then, one day, Daniel and Janet both received phone calls from their own parents, who asked them to have supper with them in a restaurant.<\/p>\n
Janet simply said yes, but Daniel asked Lola, “Mother, why do we have to eat supper out in town?”<\/p>\n
“To discuss Jerry and Sally’s wedding, and your engagement with Jane.”<\/p>\n
‘Engagement?’ Daniel frowned after thinking of the young harpy outside. But, then again, he might be on to something, and said yes to the invitation.<\/p>\n
At lunch time.<\/p>\n
Janet was collecting the documents. Daniel and Spark, who just had just finished a client meeting, went to the office, and at that moment, the internal telephone of the Secretary Department started ringing.<\/p>\n
Spark, who was closer to the telephone, picked it up, “Hello, this is the 88th floor.”<\/p>\n
After hearing something, Spark replied with OK and then went to Janet: “Janet, a soldier is looking for you downstairs.”<\/p>\n
‘Em?’ Janet was confused. ‘Looking for me?’<\/p>\n
Oh! It must be the soldier whom she had met that day, the one who was supposed to deliver letters to Bill for her.<\/p>\n
“Thank you. Spark.”<\/p>\n
Janet was pleased to meet again with the handsome soldier. She took out a letter, which was written for Bill from her bag, and cheerfully walked towards the elevator.<\/p>\n
“Miss Shao, make a copy of this document, now.” Daniel stopped Janet in her steps with a cold voice.<\/p>\n
Janet’s heart immediately sank. She took over Daniel’s document, and said, “I’ll make a copy of it soon.” Then she put it down on her desk and again started walking towards the elevator.<\/p>\n
“I said now!” Daniel stopped her again in her tracks with an even severer voice.<\/p>\n
Janet held the letter tight in hand, and said, “I heard it. But I’m busy now. I’ll make a copy of it later.”<\/p>\n
Someone was waiting for her downstairs; she felt sorry for keeping him waiting.<\/p>\n
The elevator arrived and Janet walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the first floor.<\/p>\n
Seeing the elevator doors close, Daniel walked into his office and slammed the door behind him.<\/p>\n
Spark looked at this odd scene, lost for words. Then he took a look at the document on Janet’s desk and wondered why didn’t he know this document needed to be copied.<\/p>\n
In the office.<\/p>\n
Daniel sat down on his chair and, irritated somehow, called the company’s internal telephone: “I need to see the monitoring screen of the company gates. Now.”<\/p>\n
“No, no, no. Bill is like my good friend. I’m proud of him that he could make an honorable contribution to the country, ” replied Jane.<\/p>\n
Her words sent thrills of joy to Jordan’s heart. He stretched out his right hand, and introduced himself, “Hello, Janet, I’m Brian Han, Bill’s cousin. Nice to meet you!”<\/p>\n
Brian Han? Bill’s cousin? This explained a lot of things. Janet held his big hand in hers, and said, “Hello, Mr. Han… What should I call you? Oh, what about Brian? Brian, nice to meet you!”<\/p>\n
When he saw the girl’s sweet smile, Brian couldn’t help but laugh. Her little hand was soft and smooth and, for a moment, Brian even forgot to loosen her hand out of his.<\/p>\n
Janet awkwardly took out her hand out of his grip: “Thank you, Brian. I’m still at work. See you next time.”<\/p>\n
Brian returned to Earth and nodded his head: “Sorry to disturb you. Go on to your work!”<\/p>\n
On the 88th floor, when Janet and Brian were talking, Daniel asked Spark to hand him Janet’s phone.<\/p>\n
Daniel did something to it and asked Spark to put it back. Daniel told Spark: “If Janet asks you something, just reply that you saw nothing.”<\/p>\n
Spark was dumbfounded, but when Daniel took a brief cold stare at him, Spark nodded his head immediately and conformed with orders.<\/p>\n
On her way back to the office, Janet hummed a tune, and then returned to her seat.<\/p>\n
She unlocked her phone but was confused. ‘Why isn’t there a missed call showing up?<\/p>\n
Was it because Brian failed to get through, or she didn’t have any signal?’ Janet searched the complete call log, but found nothing.<\/p>\n
She looked at Spark and questioned him: “Mr. Shi, did you see someone do anything to my phone?”<\/p>\n
Spark shook his head without turning around: “I know nothing. I saw nothing.”<\/p>\n
Janet was now even more confused. ‘Maybe Brian failed to get through.’<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-52","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/52","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/touchgame.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=52"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
