Damon had been very nice to Jeanette ever since their reconciliation.One might even say that he was extremely thoughtful.It was nice enough for him to take her to and fro from work, but he had actually asked their chef to make two different sets of meals every day and pretend as if they were delivered via food delivery service, knowing that she didn’t want to have lunch with him at the office.Even her colleagues were curious. “Jeanette, you’re always eating such sumptuous takeout meals. Which restaurant are they from? Is it expensive?”Jeanette felt very awkward about it. Her colleagues ate at the staff cafeteria while she had takeout alone. She seemed really anti-social.Thus, after two days of that, she continued eating at the cafeteria.That day, at noon, she had just ordered her meal and sat down in the cafeteria. Before she could even have a bite, she heard a loud gasp from the door.Lucia enjoyed being a busybody, so she went on her tiptoes to get a better look, only to
“I’ve heard that the Godfreys weren’t too happy about our last meeting, so they took Felix away,” Elias said.Jeanette’s heart leaped. “Where did you hear that from?”“That’s not important, but Damon—”Jeanette’s expression immediately sank. “You shouldn’t be contacting me since you’re already aware of that.”“But I want to protect you. Even if you don’t want me anywhere near you, I still want to protect you.”He reached out to take her hand, but she quickly pulled away.“Elias, you’re not
“Working with you has certainly brought a lot of bad luck. I run into any kind of nonsense at this point.” Elias sneered irritably.“If you have the energy to stand here and enjoy the breeze, you have the energy to get out there and help push the car. Quit blocking the road,” Damon quietly retorted.More than ten employees had tagged along the trip. Naturally, strenuous work like pushing the car would not involve Elias, the rich tycoon’s son.He stood by the side of the road. Why would he ste
The document clearly stated all the shares available in the Godfrey Group, including inheritance.In other words, if Jeanette and Damon were to separate one day, she would not receive a single cent from the Godfrey Group.‘This is expected. The Godfrey Group’s fortune has nothing to do with me anyway.’Sylvia was only taking precautions against her, in case she was actually eyeing the family fortune. It would seem that she had misunderstood Sylvia’s intentions.Jeanette picked up a pen from Damon’s desk. She was about to sign her name for Sylvia’s benefit when her phone suddenly rang.“Mrs. Godfrey, it’s me, Parker.”Parker’s voice sounded particularly panicked on the other end. She had always been calm and collected and rarely ever lost her nerve. Jeanette’s heart clenched. Seeing as she had called her at this hour, something must have happened.Parker took a deep breath and continued. “We got into an accident on the way to the factory. Mr. Damon and Mr. Burnham are both inju
Damon’s driver had sustained minor injuries as well due to the accident. As such, Parker drove them home.Parker told Jeanette about the accident on the way home.Apparently, after Elias’ car was pushed out of the sinkhole, there was a little trouble with the brake system. Hence, the brake was unstable when he started the car and ended up banging into Damon’s car.“There were five to six cars altogether, and it just had to crash into yours. Looks like you were hit with a bout of bad luck, you
Jeanette knocked her head against his chin and said, “Do whatever you want. I’m not going to help you!”She had intended on slapping his hand away and running off, but he stretched out his long arm and pulled her back in.“So… I can do whatever I want. You said it.” He smiled humorously as his breath brushed against her face.Realizing that he was going to steal a kiss, Jeanette quickly pushed him away, knocking his wounded hand against the wall.He gasped in pain, but his arm, which was wra
However, she couldn’t let Damon find out about that, or he’d force her to swallow the hair-dryer.Hence, she casually covered it up and said, “I used to dry my mother’s hair too.”Damon nodded. “How long has it been since you last went home? The weekend starts tomorrow. I’ll take you there.”“Okay!” Jeanette was both surprised and delighted.Jenny had mentioned to her more than once that she and Damon did not get along. Jeanette had always thought that Damon didn’t like her mother and didn’t
‘This man is my father?’She stared at Magnus in an apprehensive manner and saw that he was looking at her too, with a strange and hesitant expression.‘I guess he really is my father.’Jeanette’s heart leaped wildly.She had heard stories about her past and where she had come from from her mother and the people around her from time to time. As such, she had a rough idea, but she never expected to meet him now.“Jeanette, I’ve been looking for a chance to see you when I heard that you survi
