"Why did Jane slap you?" asked Lola. She looked her straight in the eye.
She knew that Jane was little feisty sometimes, but Jane would never hurt anyone for no reason.
Eh... Linda was embarrassed; she tried to open her mouth and utter some words, but nothing seemed to be coming out.
"Speak!" demanded Daniel. And Linda startled to blurt it out, " Because I accused her that she seduced our CEO. Everyone knows the rumor."
Daniel looked thoughtful, 'Could our last meeting have caused this lot of trouble to Jane?
I thought she was grumpy. But why didn't she complain about it?'
Lola let go of Janet, stepped in front Linda with an explicit sneer on her face and looked at all the people who were now lowering their heads, "Listen up: Janet is not only a godchild to me, she will also be my daughter-in-law. If any of you bully her or backbite her again, I swear you will be kicked out of the SL Group forever."
Her words created a heated discussion again between the employees in the secretary department. Was Janet the CEO's fiancee?
Janet was also dumbfounded when she heard this. When did she become Daniel's fiancee? How couldn't she have known that?
Daniel looked at his mischievous mother and frowned. He had to talk with her at once about what was happening.
Not here, but in his office.
"Mother, I am not..." Janet tried talking, but Lola's wink stopped her.
Daniel closely watched Janet. Huh? How was it then that Jane wanted to keep a distance with him?
"I don't know the source of the rumor, but flirting is normal in a relationship. There is no such thing as this seduction rumor! Everyone should focus instead on their own own work. If you spread this kind of rumor again, you will, I repeat, be immediately fired from the SL Group!"
Lola showed enough respect to Janet in front of the others to protect her from being bullied again.
At the CEO's office on the 88th floor.
Janet and Lola
“Let's go and register our marriage on your birthday!”
Marrying Daniel should have been her best birthday gift, but everything was ruined the moment when she caught him sleeping with another woman on the day before her birthday.
“He’s going to marry that woman! She... was my best friend!"
er all.
Janet bit back her unspoken words.
She closed her eyes, angry and speechless. Why was Daniel such a drag on her?
Lola was delighted. She held Jane by her hand, and held Daniel's too, and put them together.
Daniel wanted to draw his hand back, and Janet struggled even harder to do the same thing.
'Humph? She hates me so much?' There must have been something wrong with Daniel, because he grasped Janet's hand even more tightly instead.
So that Janet would now never get rid of him...
Lola shared a meaningful look for her son. She knew what was going on here.
"Daniel, you have hugged her. Aren't you responsible for her now?" Janet looked at Daniel who had an unbelievably grim face. His slender fingers were holding her hand tighter and tighter.
The warmth coming from his palm made her blush.
"I not only hug you, but also kiss you. It seems that I have to marry you." Daniel sounded indifferent, and Janet could not tell his mood or what he was really feeling.
...
Lola chuckled, let go of them, and stepped back to her husband. Daniel nodded to her, meaning that the two might be a promising couple after all.
Girls were girls, and just a little bit of banter could easily turn their face red in an instant. It was fun for Daniel to tease her.
