Lucy was right, but work was not what she was most worried about.
The most important thing was to find out more about Christopher and his car.
Thinking of this, Janice got up and walked out.
She wanted to call Christopher, but after thinking for a while, she felt that it was not suitable. What if Yvonne was right?
However, last night, she also thought a lot. Even if he was the criminal, she had to give him a chance to explain.
It didn’t seem fair to him that she accused him without asking anything.
She should at least give him a chance to prove his innocence.
Then she dialed Christopher’s number. As soon as the phone was connected, she asked tentatively.
"Christopher, where are you?"
In the office, Christopher sat in front of his desk. Hearing Janice’s voice, he asked, "What’s the matter?"
Janice said, "Nothing. I just want to know what you are doing now."
Christopher glanced at his office. "I am outside."
"Then what are you doing outside?" Janice asked.
Christopher hesitated for a mont and replied, "I was surfing online." Surfing?
The swindler often surfed on the Internet.
She thought, "Sure enough."
Then she said.
"Then can you make a video call with ?"
Hearing her strange request, Christopher looked around and said, "Okay."
Then, the phone was hung up and replaced by a WhatsApp video call sent by Janice.
Christopher walked around his office and found that there wasn’t a suitable place.
He then opened the door and walked out.
Finally, he stopped in an empty cubicle and picked up the video.
Janice’s face soon appeared on the cara.
Christopher waved at her.
Janice also waved her hand, but her eyes were fixed on his surroundings.
From the cara, it could be seen that he was in a cubicle.
Looking at the surrounding environnt.
she rembered that she had reported a criminal who had been arrested in such a place.
She was even more certain.
She said, "I’m free now. Can I go to et you?" "et ? Are you sure?" Christopher frowned. "Yes."
"I’ll go to et you."
Christopher thought that it was better not to let her co to the company before he confessed to her.
Hearing his refusal, Janice was even more certain of her guess.
He didn’t dare to let her look for him, which ant that he had secrets.
She quickly said, "No need. I rember there’s another draft that I haven’t finished. I’m hanging up."
Janice imdiately hung up the video call.
However, Christopher stared at the black screen with a frown.
What happened to her?
He always felt strange.
At this mont, Rob passed by and saw Christopher sitting in an abandoned cubicle.
He stepped forward in confusion.
"Mr. Bateman... what are you doing?"
Only then did Christopher co back to his senses. He stood up and said, "Nothing. Have you found out the thing I asked you to investigate?"
Rob said, "I’m going to report it to you."
"Go ahead."
Christopher walked towards his office, followed by Rob.
"What? He was Janice’s ex-boyfriend?"
Without waiting for Rob to finish his report, Christopher stood up.
Rob was startled, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "That’s what I found out."
...
Christopher’s expression had already turned stone cold.
His intuition was right. Janice seed to care too much about Benjamin Taylor. It turned out to be such a relationship.
Christopher’s cold eyes narrowed as he thought of sothing.
"Take my car for disinfection."
Rob nodded and was about to go out.
"Wait."
Christopher added, "There’s no need to disinfect it. Simply get another car."
He would not allow his car to be contaminated by his love rival.
Rob was shocked. It was a car that he had just bought.
However, he didn’t dare to question Mr. Bateman’s decision.
After Janice put away her phone, she panicked. What should she do?
It seed that things were getting closer to her guess.
Was Christopher really a scamr?
While she was thinking, a familiar figure walked from the other end of the corridor. It was Benjamin, accompanied by a beautiful woman with a good temperant.
The two of them chatted and laughed, and they seed to be quite intimate.
Janice thought, "It seems that what Lucy said is true. She is his girlfriend."
However, it had nothing to do with her. She turned around and headed back to work.
"Janice?"
Benjamin called her.
Janice had no choice but to stop. She turned around and nodded at Benjamin. "Director Taylor."
Benjamin said a few words to the woman beside him and then walked toward Janice.
"Janice, do you have sothing on your mind? I just saw you standing there for a long ti." Benjamin asked with concern.
In her head, Janice said, "Even if sothing happened, it has nothing to do with you", but outwardly she spoke aloud, "It’s nothing. I’m just standing here to get so fresh air. Director Taylor, you’d better go. Don’t keep people waiting."
Hearing her words, Benjamin glanced at the woman not far away and said, "Oh, she is the vice president of the Swift Group. She is here to discuss about cooperation,
don’t be mistaken."
Janice replied, "Director Taylor, you don’t have to explain. I’m just a little reporter. How can I know the plans of the higher managent?"
"Janice..."
"Director Taylor, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first."
Without waiting for Benjamin to say more, she turned around and walked towards the News office.
Benjamin stared at her back and frowned.
At this ti, Vivian Swift who was standing beside Benjamin, glanced at the direction in which Janice had left, and there was a little curiosity in her beautiful eyes.
"It seems Director Taylor has soone he likes."
Benjamin was stunned. He chuckled without acknowledging her words, and said, "Ms. Swift, let’s go."
Vivian was very smart. His silence was an ad admission that she was right. It’s alright, she liked a challenge.
By the ti Janice returned to her seat, she was no longer in the mood to work.
She rembered that she still had a few coupons for barbecue in her pocket. Before she got off work, she called Yvonne and made an appointnt to go with her to discuss a plan.
The two of them arrived at the barbecue restaurant. As soon as they sat down, Yvonne asked curiously.
"Janice, have you figured it out yet?"
Janice shook her head.
"Ah? What should we do then?"
Janice didn’t know either. She was afraid of going ho and facing Christopher.
Yvonne saw that she was in a bad mood, so she did not ask any more questions.
Soon, a group of people ca in.
A tall figure was particularly conspicuous.
Yvonne was sitting opposite the door. She couldn’t help taking a few more glances, but when she saw a familiar face, she couldn’t help but be stunned.
"Janice, isn’t that your husband?"
...
Janice looked over and found that it was Christopher, and the person beside him seed to be Daniel Pattinson.
Why would Christopher be with Daniel Pattinson?
Janice was surprised.
Yvonne exclaid. "Wow, your husband is much more handso than in the photo." Upon hearing Yvonne’s words, Janice glanced at her speechlessly. "Don’t be a fangirl, okay?"
Yvonne chuckled and said, "However, to be honest, your husband doesn’t look like a scamr at all. Look at how noble his temperant is, as if he was born with it."
Upon hearing Yvonne’s words, Janice turned to look at Christopher again.
It was indeed as Yvonne had said. Christopher’s temperant was top notch. She could tell from the first ti they t.
However, the truth was right in front of them.
If he hadn’t done sothing illegal, how could he own such an expensive car?
However, Janice did not want to think about it anymore. She only wanted to know why he was with Daniel.
Looking at them talking and laughing, it seed that they were quite close.
However, she clearly rembered that they were not like this in the hotel last ti.
Could it be that Christopher knew Daniel personally?
However, how could that be possible with the difference in their status?
Or was Daniel his next target for fraud?
This thought suddenly popped up in Janice’s mind. Her body could not help but tremble.
No, she couldn’t think of Christopher like that.
She found that she automatically linked every action Christopher made to that of a scamr.
This was not a good sign.
Thinking of this, she quickly got shook the idea out of her mind.
"Janice, aren’t you going to say hello?" Yvonne asked.
However, Janice shook her head.
She didn’t want to. She purposely didn’t want to go ho to face Christopher, that’s why she ca out.
Moreover, she also wanted to find out how Christopher and Daniel knew each other.
So she definitely couldn’t let them know that she was also here.
Thinking of this, she stared silently at Christopher’s figure. It wasn’t until he and Daniel walked up the stairs and disappeared from sight that Janice looked away.
She imdiately looked up the contact list on her phone and found Daniel Pattinson’s phone number, which she saved the last ti.
She thought about it and sent a text ssage.
At this mont, Daniel and Christopher were sitting in their private room upstairs.
Daniel was playing with his phone, and Christopher picked up his wine glass.
Daniel glanced at him. "You don’t seem to be in a good mood today."
Daniel knew Christopher very well. Although he didn’t show his emotions, he usually exhibited self-control. He wouldn’t drink like this as soon as he sat down. It was obvious that he had sothing on his mind.
Christopher didn’t reply to Daniel. He didn’t like to share his worries, especially his innermost feelings.
Seeing that he did not reply, Daniel could only continue to play with his mobile phone.
Suddenly, a text ssage popped up.
Daniel stared at that ssage, speechless. What era was this? There was actually soone who sent a text ssage.
Thinking that it must be a spam ssage, he was about to delete it, but found that it was sent by Janice Gladwell.
He looked at Christopher in front of him in surprise and opened it.
"Mr. Pattinson, I’m Janice Gladwell. May I ask if my husband, Christopher Bateman, has contacted you recently?"
Daniel was confused by Janice’s text ssage. He glanced at Christopher in front of him, paused, and typed a few words, "What’s wrong?"
