Damon was smiling brighter and brighter as he watched Jeanette run off anxiously.‘Although I don’t know why she came here to see me, at least… it beats her avoiding me everywhere.’Suddenly, Parker walked in with a strange expression on her face. “What’s the matter?” “Mr. Gardner’s passed away.”Damon frowned. He had never tried to find out how the Gardners were doing ever since they declared bankruptcy. All he had heard was that Mr. Gardner had fallen seriously ill.‘Who would’ve thoug
“Jeanette… Where did you go just now?”“I… Nowhere.”Lucia scooched closer to Jeanette and whispered, “Stop trying to fool me! I saw you walking out of Mr. Xavier’s office with my own eyes! You were there for a long time, so what were you doing?”“Mr. Xavier’s our superior, so of course it’s because I had something to report to him.”“You’re lying! We both just joined the company, so what could we possibly have that needs to be directly reported to upper management? Plus, this isn’t my first
The more Jeanette thought about it, the more frightened she became as she called Damon continuously. However, the woman’s voice kept on repeating, “Sorry, the number you’ve dialed is busy.”Of course, what she did not know was that Damon was on the phone with a customer as he was driving, so he could not answer Jeanette’s phone call.Meanwhile, Jeanette was panicking more and more when she could not contact Damon. She had already forgotten everything about her past, and her son was her entire world. Hence, how could she possibly allow someone to take her son away from her?She immediately called Xavier. “Do you know where Damon lives?”Hearing how much of a panic Jeanette was in that she was almost crying, Xavier hurriedly asked, “What’s happened?”“Damon… Damon’s taken Fe away!”…Meanwhile, at the Godfreys’ residence, Xavier had hurriedly rushed to Damon’s house after receiving Jeanette’s phone call.However, Damon was not home, so it was the butler who answered the door.
“I know it’s my fault for misunderstanding you today. But, don’t stop me,” Jeanette said with her eyes lowered.“My cell phone.”Jeanette was stunned for a moment. Damon was pointing at the cell phone in her hand, and she finally recalled that she had used his cell phone to make that phone call just now. She hurriedly returned the phone to him. Halfway, the screen suddenly lit up. Although Jeanette did not want to pry, she still caught a glimpse of the contents. It was a text message s
“Do they often do this?”“Actually, no. It would be about two to three times a week. I think… Mr. Xavier probably has some job that he needs her help with?”Damon coldly snorted. In fact, Lucia’s last statement was completely unnecessary. She may seem as if she was trying to look for an excuse for Jeanette to be clear of any misunderstanding. However, the fact of the matter was that Jeanette was just a minor clerk, so what sort of job would she be able to do that required her to meet Xavie
“Oh my goodness! That would literally be like what I watched in the drama! Jeanette, you aren’t actually dating Mr. Xavier, are you?”“No! Seriously, I’m not!” Jeanette kept on waving her hand.In order to clear her name, Jeanette hurriedly said, “I… I already have a 4-year-old son, plus I’m older than Xavier, for that matter. How could I possibly have anything to do with him?”“What!? Jeanette, you’re married?”Obviously, this new piece of information was even more shocking to Lucia. Jean
Then, one of the secretary’s office staff told her, “Ms. Woods and Mr. Godfrey have gone out on a business trip. You can just leave the document on her desk.”After that, the two staff members stood up and headed out to the canteen for lunch.Jeanette placed the document on Parker’s desk and wandered around the corridor for a moment. When she saw that they had all entered the elevator, she immediately darted into Damon’s office.‘I’ll make good use of this opportunity and try to find out what
Yet, at that moment, Damon realized that Jeanette had actually been pretending to get close to him by acting soft and all that just so that she could help Xavier steal something for the latter.Damon’s laughter became colder and colder. “I see, so I’ve been thinking about this wrong all this time. Perhaps you really aren’t the Jeanette I’m waiting for… Perhaps, the Jeanette I’ve been waiting for is actually this kind of person.”He then released her hand and turned sideways, allowing her to le
