After Being Cheating

Janet went to see Sven to get the medicine for Daniel and gave him some dessert for Nicole.

After leaving the hospital, Janet directly went to SL Group.

Since all receptionists knew her, she wasn't stopped by anyone. After greeting them, she went straight to the elevator and pressed the button of the 88th floor, Where the CEO's office was located.

At the door of the CEO's lounge, Shirley knocked, "Come in." Daniel answered feebly. Shirley came in with a stack of files.

"Mr. Si, the meeting materials from this morning have been reorganized. Here they are. And the materials for the meeting in the afternoon have also been- ah!" Shirley suddenly screamed out. She lost her balance and fell on the bed.

She awkwardly dropped on Daniel's legs which were covered with a thin quilt. Her hair hung about her shoulders.

"I'm... sorry... Mr. Si, I'm so sorry..." Shirley stood up in panic. However, she was so anxious that she fell down again.

This time, she fell into Daniel's arms...

Daniel looked furious. He tried to control his temper because she was Jane's best friend.

"What are you doing now?" Daniel heard a familiar voice. He froze at once.

Shirley dared not look at her as she hurriedly stood up and said, "Janet... There's some misunderstanding. My... My heels are a bit high. I lost my balance when I walked on the carpet, so I accidentally fell down..."

Daniel pushed back the quilt and got down from the bed. He got up so quick that he couldn't help coughing.

Janet felt extremely sad again.

'Is this another misunderstanding?' She indifferently looked at Shirley who was fixing her clothes.

Unconsciously, she was reminded of the moment that Daniel carried Shirley when she nearly fainted last time.

She felt that she had been betrayed. The feeling haunted her in her mind.

Daniel stood up and was about to give Janet a hug. But he sat back when he was reminded of their conversation two days ago. "Why did you come here?"

His tone was indifferent. Hearing that, Janet looked paler. She threw a handbag at him and said, "Take these pills!"

Glancing at the medicine, Daniel went on scanning the files.

Shirley spoke to Janet in a low voice, "I'd better go. You two talk."

Janet didn't say a word. She approached a water dispenser and got a cup of hot water.

With the pills in her hand, she delivered the cup to him and said, "I came to see you for the sake of Mother*."

"You are not needed here. Get out of my sight!" Unexpectedly, Daniel lost his temper. Janet was really startled. Daniel had never been like this to her. Biting her lip and snuffling her nose, Janet tried to hold her tears back. "I'll leave once you take these pills!" Daniel really looked ill. What Lola said was true.

"I won't take them!" Daniel refused her. However, Janet didn't get angry. She felt that his manner was more like a stubborn kid's. So she still held the medicine and cup in her hands without saying a word.

It was so quiet. Feeling uncomfortable, Daniel nastily threw the files away.

He rudely got pills and cup from her and gulped down medicine rapidly.

He aggressively put down the cup and said, "You ought to leave now!"

Janet took a deep breath and said, "I wish you could take the rest of the medicine on time. Otherwise, coming here was a waste." "For fear of seeing you, I take it!"

...

Janet walked quickly to the door with tears in her eyes.

Wiping away her tears, she went out. Daniel saw all these.

He suddenly felt sorry for losing his temper.

Outside the door

Greeting Spark, Janet took Shirley aside and said, "Shirley."

"Janet, please trust me. I didn't mean to fall down!" Shirley explained anxiously.

Looking pale, Janet smiled and asked, "Who helps you pay for your apartment?"

The monthly rental of the apartment Shirley lived in were several thousand dollars. Her salary couldn't afford it.

At the beginning, Janet was puzzled about this. But she didn't care.

The scene earlier at the lounge enlightened her.

Shirley was stumped for a little while. She lowered her voice, "Janet, I'm willing to tell you. But I'm afraid you will get angry."

Janet smiled and spoke his name out, "It must be Daniel, right?"

Tightly biting her lip, Shirley didn't deny nor explain why Daniel rented the house.

"At that time, he gave me five hundred thousand dollars and asked me to..." Shirley didn't continue. But it was enough for Janet to make an assumption. Janet was deep in grief at once.

For a long time, she said painfully, "I know. I don't care. Above all, Daniel and I have parted."

Turning around and waving to her, Janet approached the elevator. She threw the bag of cakes into the garbage can in disappointment.

Tears burst out when she got on the elevator.

'When did they fall in love?' She never did notice.

As she got off the elevator, Janet wiped her tears in a hurry and went to the parking lot.

In her car, Janet couldn't help crying. She deleted all the contact information of Daniel and Shirley.

But she sent a text to Daniel first, "Flirting with the best friend of the ex-girlfriend makes you feel well, doesn't it?"

Daniel was so infuriated that he coughed badly. But he failed to call Janet up or text her a message because she already blocked him.

He found out that they weren't connected in WeChat anymore.

'Janet, do I really seem that bad in your mind?'

In three months, he would ask Ivanka to do a paternity test. If the results turned to be negative, and he wasn't the father of the baby, he will let Janet beg for his forgiveness. Daniel called Spark up and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

"Mr. Si, all the bodyguards on duty that night have been handled by Poe. Later, the bodyguards monitoring Ivanka said that it was very quiet in the apartment on the first day she was held there." 'Very quiet?' That wasn't like her.
