After Being Cheating

"Mr. Si, I have nothing else to say. It has been said that you are a bad man. Now I know for sure that you certainly are."

"Poe Yi, I will remember what you did to me," said Daniel in a cold tone.

Poe felt regret, but he still nerved himself up to say, "Mr. Si, I sent my daughter to your bed to please you. Allow my company to join the Shuntian Project. If our two companies cooperate, we can maximize the profit."

As Daniel kept silent, Poe continued, "My daughter Ivanka was a virgin. But Mr. Si, you don't have to worry about that. I hope you had a happy night. It's okay if you don't want to take the responsibility for sleeping with my daughter. Just allow my company to join the Shuntian Project."

A happy night? His Jane was missing. How could he be happy?

"Poe, you bastard! I will destroy you," said Daniel with his teeth clenched. After saying this, Daniel hung up the phone.

'If I don't let Poe pay for this, I, Daniel, do not deserve to be called a man.'

Until evening, there was no news about Janet. Every available person had set out to search for Janet. If they couldn't find her, they would be forced to call the police.

At around nine o'clock, Shirley walked toward home with takeout as she rubbed her sore neck.

Just as she took the key out of her handbag, she saw a figure curled up at the head of the stairs. It startled her.

"Shirley!"

The familiar voice allowed her to feel some relief.

"Janet, what are you doing here? Come on in," Shirley opened the door quickly and led Janet who was a mess into the living room.

"Do you know that everyone went all out to find you?" Shirley closed the door and let Janet sit on the sofa.

Janet's dazed eyes fell on Shirley. She repeated, "Shirley!"

She muttered 'Shirley' again and again and didn't say anything else.

After looking at her pale face, Shirley felt very sorry for her. Then she sat beside Janet and asked, "Janet, what happened to you?"

Daniel had been angry all day at his company. Many strangers came in and out of his office.

The public relations manager of his company was busy dealing with a certain issue on the internet. But Janet didn't know what on earth the issue was.

Janet leaned quietly on Shirley's shoulder. She didn't know how to tell Shirley what happened. All the happiness and joy vanished at the very moment she found out that Daniel had betrayed her.

'I trusted Daniel so much that I wouldn't give up loving him until I witness him betraying me.

It turns out that all his loving words are worthless.

He can't keep himself away from other women for three months. He even claimed that he was not with Kate.'

"Maybe what Kate said is true. Daniel never loved me. He is forced by his Father and Mother to date me," murmured Janet. "But I have felt his genuine love. Maybe his heart is overflowing with love that he can give to a couple of women at the same time. Maybe he is a womanizer. He, Daniel, can play with different women whenever he wishes to. Nobody can stop him."

Shirley knew what she meant and asked, "Did you have a quarrel with him?"

Janet shook her head and replied, "We didn't even have a quarrel. His action proves that he doesn't love me at all. Even if he loves me, he still fools around with other woman. So ultimately, he doesn't love me."

"Janet, what did you see? Did you see Daniel hang out with another woman? He is not that type of guy. What's wrong?"

When Janet thought of the scene she saw in the morning, her face turned pale. 'Nobody deserves to feel such pain. You see your lover sleep with other woman not long after he said he loves you, proposed to you, and wanted to go with you to the Civil Affairs Bureau to apply for a marriage license.'

"It feels like being thrown into hell from the heaven. My heart is unbearably aching that I want to dig it out of my body, " Tears were trickling down Janet's cheek.

It was the first time she cried since this morning.

"Janet, don't think about that. It must be a misunderstanding," Shirley believed that Daniel was not that kind of guy.

Janet shook her head again and said, "Shirley, I saw it with my own eyes... that he was naked in bed with another woman." After uttering those words, Janet broke into a sob and was unable to say more. 'What? Daniel laid with other woman? Janet had seen it?' Shirley felt very shocked.

"Janet, don't cry. Maybe he just meant to play with that woman for a while."

'Play with that woman for a while? He has a girlfriend so he shouldn't play with any other woman for any reason. I, Janet Shao, wouldn't date him if he did.'

"Janet, if he really did something unfaithful to you, you shouldn't cry for him. He doesn't deserve your tears."

Janet took the tissue from Shirley's hands and wiped away her tears. 'Shirley's right. Maybe I shouldn't cry for a guy like that.'

But she couldn't suppress her tears. She cried for a very long time in Shirley's arms before she fell asleep on the sofa.

Shirley laid her down gently. Then she lingered around the living room with a phone in her hands.

'Should I call Daniel?' Shirley didn't want Daniel to find Janet, but she longed to see Daniel. She also would feel satisfied if she hears his voice. Finally, she called his new cell phone number.

"Hello?" Daniel's hoarse voice came through the phone. Shirley's heart thumped heavily.

She went into the bedroom with her phone and said in a low voice, "Mr. Si, it's me, Shirley."

"Talk," said Daniel unemotionally.

Shirley wanted to say more, but his cold manner stopped her. She immediately got to the point, "Janet..."

"Where is my Jane?" he raised his voice momentarily.

Upon hearing this, Shirley's heart ached badly, but continued, "I'll tell you where she is, but don't tell her it was I who told you."

"Okay."

"Janet is in my house now..."

After hanging up the phone, Shirley was in a trance for a while. She opened her closet, took off her work clothes, and put on a sexy nightgown.

Then she walked toward the dressing table, untied her hair, and let her hair hang loose. Finally, she picked the perfume which was given as a gift by Janet and put some on. The door bell rang in less than ten minutes. Shirley smiled bitterly. He came so quickly.

When the door opened, Daniel caught a glimpse of Shirley, but he didn't care. He simply asked, "Where is my Jane?"

Shirley's heart sank. She stepped aside and looked toward the sofa.

Daniel stepped into the living room and squatted by the edge of the sofa, looking at the girl who was sleeping soundly.

He carried Janet and just as he was about to go out, Shirley stood in his way and said, "Mr. Si, Janet is still feeling terrible."

Pain was reflected in his eyes. He said with melancholy, "I know."

"She doesn't want to see you now. You see, she is safe in my house. You might as well let her stay here."

Shirley's words made him think. 'Shirley is right.'

He turned to look around the room and found there was only one bedroom. ☐☐☐☐☐☐
