Later that evening at ho, Janice was still thinking about Tina.
Tina did not tell her the reason.
She was hiding sothing. Janice was wondering what on earth Benjamin had said to her.
"I’m back."
When Christopher entered, he saw Janice squatting beside the dog’s kennel and playing with Nino. It seed that sothing was weighing on her mind.
He confusedly thought, "Hadn’t I already solved the problem?"
Why did she still look unhappy?
He walked over, and squatted beside her.
"What’s the matter? You don’t look good."
Janice glanced at her and said, "Nothing. Sothing happened in the TV station today made feel uncomfortable."
Christopher asked, "What is it? You can tell ."
Since the matter had been solved, Janice thought there was no harm in telling him. She said, "One of my old classmates took so embarrassing photos of and spread them around. But the photos have been destroyed, and she also apologized in public. It’s all right now."
Although she said in a relaxed tone, Christopher could tell that she was still worried about sothing.
He said, "Since the matter has been solved, why are you still uncomfortable?"
Janice sighed. "It’s settled, but I owe soone a favor. I don’t like this feeling."
Christopher couldn’t help laughing, and thought, "She doesn’t know that it is who she owes a favor to."
Seeing her expression, he teased, "Then how are you going to return the favor?"
Janice frowned. "That’s what I’m worried about."
Although she disliked Benjamin, she still had to thank him for dealing with this problem.
However, their relationship was still too awkward.
Christopher did not realize that the person Janice wanted to thank was soone else.
But to comfort her, he said, "Maybe the person who helped you doesn’t need your thanks. He just hopes that you can be happy."
Hearing this, Janice turned to him surprisedly.
"Really?"
"Will Benjamin think so?" She thought.
Christopher nodded. "Of course, forget it. Let’s eat out tonight."
Then he removed Nino from her embrace.
At the restaurant, Christopher was ordering several dishes while Janice sat there with a worried look.
Perhaps Christopher was right. But she didn’t want to owe Benjamin anything since they had already broken up.
Finally, Janice decided that no matter what, she would still repay the favor.
She said, "Christopher, I’ve decided. I’ll treat him to a al as a way of thanking him."
Christopher was surprised. "A al?"
He rembered that he had asked Rob not to reveal his identity.
So, who did Janice want to treat?
Then, he asked, "You... do you know who helped you?"
...
Janice nodded. "Of course."
Christopher’s heart skipped a beat. Rob didn’t keep it a secret?
Thinking of this, Christopher said, "I’ll make a phone call."
Janice nodded. When Christopher left, she was still wondering if she should ask Yvonne to et up.
Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing. Then, Janice imdiately sent a ssage to Yvonne on WhatsApp.
Outside the room, Christopher called Rob.
"Have you made clear to that man not to reveal my identity?"
On the other side of the phone, Rob answered, "Mr. Bateman, I have warned them according to your instructions."
Christopher was confused. Why did Janice say that she had already known it?
Then Christopher returned to his seat, paused for a mont, and asked, "So, who is that person?"
When Janice who was texting Yvonne heard his question, her heart skipped a beat.
She suddenly realized that she never told Christopher, Benjamin was not only her boss but also her ex-boyfriend. She didn’t know how he would think if he knew that.
Then Janice explained, "He is one of my colleagues. You don’t know him."
Christopher confusedly thought,
Christopher was very unhappy. Although he did not intend to let Janice know what he had done for her, it did not an that he was willing to let others steal his credit.
Thinking of this, he said, "How can you be so sure?"
Janice didn’t quite understand his words.
Christopher continued, "What if you got the wrong person?"
Janice said, "No, he himself told ."
He himself told?
Christopher’s face imdiately changed. How could this be? He wanted to know who dared to take his credit.
So, he said, "When are you going to invite him?"
Janice answered, "Tomorrow. I have ti at night."
"Okay, I’ll go with you."
Christopher said.
Janice was surprised by his words. After all, she was going to invite her superior and ex-boyfriend. How could Christopher go with her?
Thinking of this, she quickly refused, "No, I can go alone. Besides, you don’t know each other. It’s so embarrassing."
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Janice’s face.
Christopher narrowed his eyes. Okay, he could stalk her. After secretly making the decision, he didn’t say anything more.
The next day, as soon as Janice arrived at the office, she was called into Chief Gray’s office.
"Janice, I am sorry that I misunderstood you. You don’t have to write an apology statent."
Janice didn’t say anything. It was not her fault at all. Of course, she didn’t have to write anything.
When she returned to her seat, her colleagues surrounded her.
"Janice, we knew that you were wronged."
"Yes, Tina is too bad."
"That’s right."
...
Upon hearing this, Janice was speechless. It was also these guys who tried to push her away before.
However, she had to maintain the relationship. Thinking of this, she didn’t care about it anymore.
"Janice, you don’t have to rewrite that draft."
Linda said while walking past her.
However, Janice didn’t want to let her go so easily. Yesterday, she had been tornted for a whole day.
What about the ti she wasted yesterday?
Then she stopped Linda. "Don’t you think you owe an explanation?"
Linda sneered, "What explanation?"
Janice said, "Apologize to ."
Linda laughed out. "Janice, are you kidding? I don’t have ti to play such a boring ga with you."
Then she left.
"You..."
Janice was livid.
She was so arrogant!
"Janice, she’s always like that. Just ignore her." Lucy said.
Janice swallowed the words and sat down in her seat.
"By the way, I have sothing to ask you." Lucy suddenly asked.
Janice said, "Go ahead."
"What’s your relationship with Director Taylor?"
Janice said, "Why do you ask?"
Lucy said awkwardly, "I saw the dress you wore that night."
Janice did not quite understand.
Lucy continued, "I saw Director Taylor buying that dress. At that ti, I thought he had a girlfriend. I didn’t expect that he bought it for you."
Hearing Lucy’s words, Janice realized that the dress was bought by Benjamin himself.
She didn’t know how to explain. After a while, she said, "Actually, when we were in
school, we worked together."
"What exactly?"
Lucy looked over in confusion.
Janice knew what Lucy was wondering. But she wouldn’t tell anyone about the relationship between her and Benjamin. After all, it was all over. If she said it, there would be so gossip.
It wasn’t a good thing for either her or and Benjamin.
Then Janice said, "We used to host so seasonal parties together."
"Really?" Lucy didn’t buy it. "Then why did he buy you a dress?"
Janice answered, "Maybe it was a coincidence. It was so late that night and I didn’t have a suitable dress. He just wanted to help ."
"I see."
Lucy seed to believe it. Then she smiled, "Then it doesn’t matter."
Seeing the smile, Janice was finally relieved.
In the afternoon, Janice went to the office to look for Benjamin.
When she entered, Benjamin was talking on the phone. Seeing her co in, he let her sit down first.
This was the first ti for her to co to his office, so she was a little restrained on the sofa.
But there was sothing that she had to do, so she had no choice but to sit down.
Later, Benjamin hung up the phone. He was a little surprised to see Janice.
After all, she had always been avoiding him lately.
"Would you like a drink?" Benjamin asked.
