Chapter 94 Janet Fran’s words kept ringing in my ears. Forgive him and get back together. Could we really get back what we once had? Yes I did love him, and he did explain why he had kept Rita and the baby from me, but I was scared of getting caught up in any drama. Should I just risk it? Take it one step at a time? I didn’t go to sleep till nearly 2am, And slept past the ringing of my alarm. It was Fran’s knock that woke me. “Miss Janet! You are going to be late for work!” She called. I sat up and yawned, still feeling tired and sleepy. I forced myself out of bed and took a cold shower, which helped to wake me up. A message came into my phone as I stepped out of the shower. I looked at it. It was from Kevin. Can I take you to lunch later? Please 😚 I hesitated, wondering if that was a good idea, then replied, Okay meet me at 1pm, the usual place. Smiling, I began dressing. My phone rang again as I was combing my hair. It was Jason. I hesitated, then answe
Chapter 95 Janet “What the fuck is the matter with you?” Jason demanded. I stood, too shocked to say anything. I had red paint on my blouse, pants, and arms. Thank goodness my face and hair had escaped. “Now you will learn to keep away from my boyfriend.” She said waving the can. I went crazy with anger. I wanted so much to grab her by the neck and shake the life out of her. “You crazy bitch!” I yelled and lunged at her. “No Jan! This slut isn’t worth it.” Jason said holding me back. “Let her come, I will give her a beat down she would never forget,” she taunted, as I struggled to get lose and get my hands on her. “Shut up!” Jason snapped at her. “Jan!” He held my shoulders and shook me slightly. I stopped struggling. He turned to Rita. “I don’t know who the hell you are you lunatic, but if I catch you around here or anywhere near Janet again, I’ll have you thrown in jail. Now get the hell out of here!” “Wow superman, I am impressed.” She mocked, “tell her to kee
Chapter 96 Janet By morning, I was still depressed but did my best to hide it. I didn’t want anyone, especially Fran, asking questions. By the time I came down for breakfast everyone else was almost done. Dad wasn’t at the table. “I was just about to call you.” Fran said as I walked in. “ Are you okay. “Sure, just overslept.” I said. “Where is Dad?” “Left with Justin.” she said. “Fran and I are debating what color my wedding dress should be,” Lois said. “ I want green, she thinks pink. What do you girls think?” She asked me and Anna. Anna shrugged. “Whatever you like.” She said sourly. For a while now I noticed she always seemed distracted. I guessed it was to do with her recent divorce from Tony and thinking of Tony, I remembered about him and Lois. “Pink is okay.” I said. “ I was with Tony yesterday, he said he saw you a few days back at that hotel out of town?” I asked Lois watching her carefully. Anna looked at me startled. But Lois smiled. “Yeah, I was m
Chapter 97 Kevin I stood staring after her as she got into the car and it pulled away. I was numb, exactly how I had felt yesterday after Jason had taken her away and left me and Rita standing there. “Now you will forget about that bitch and pay attention to me and the baby.” Rita had smirked. I was seconds away from choking her to death, when a security guard walked over to us. “Is there any problem?” He asked, looking at the paint on the ground, then at us. “Yes there is. This crazy woman attacked Miss. Benson, the company P.R.O, with paint.” I said pointing at Rita. “ Call the cops and throw her ass in jail!” Rita looked shocked. She hadn’t expected me to say that. “Wait a minute.” She said panicky. “Where is Miss. Benson now?” The guard asked. “She has been taken to hospital. You can see the evidence on the ground and in her hands.” I told him, pointing at the can Rita was still holding. “She deserves it! She was after my boyfriend.” Rita said stupidly.
Chapter 98 Anna It was nearly 4pm and I still had piles of work undone, but I couldn’t care. I was staring into space, my mind thinking of only one thing. The sex video Tony had made. It has been weeks since it had happened, but I was still asking myself how I could have been so dumb. I should have listened to Jan and dad who told me to keep away from him, but how was I to guess he would team up with Lois against me? I sighed. I was paying the price for my stupidity. I was still brooding when Janet came into my office. “Dani said you came to see me?” She asked. “Yeah I wanted to ask you something but never mind. You went to lunch?” I asked. “Not really. I went to look at a house with Jason. He wants to rent it and wanted my opinion.“ “You and Jason are now together?” I asked. “I don’t know. For now he is just a friend.” “No chance with Kevin? I thought you two were getting back together?” I asked. She sighed heavily. “ No, I don’t think so. Too much drama around him.”
Chapter 99 Janet I came down for breakfast the next morning to meet a smiling Lois sitting next to my dad, who was also smiling. “Good morning everyone.” I said sitting down. “Morning sweetheart.” Dad beamed. Fran came in with my breakfast. “Good morning Miss Janet, right on time.” She said handing me a cup of coffee. “Thanks Fran.” “Morning Jan, I hope you slept well?” Lois asked. “Yeah I did. You two look happy, what is the secret?” I asked. “I have an announcement to make, but we will wait for Anna.” Dad said. “Wait for Anna to do what?” Anna asked coming into the room. “Morning honey, we were waiting for you before I made my big announcement.” Dad said. Anna sat besides me. “What is it?” She asked cautiously. I too was curious to know why Dad and Lois were looking so pleased, although I had a feeling I won’t like the reason. “First of all,” said Lois. “I am thinking of having an engagement party. What does everyone else think?” “It
Chapter 100 Janet I stared at him wondering if he was saying the truth, or just being dramatic. “What do you mean danger?” I asked. He pointed to the couch. “Shall we?” He asked. Frowning, I sat down on the couch crossing my legs and folding my arms. “You have four minutes.” I said. “By the time I start you may see I will need a little more than that.” He said sitting beside me. I moved away. He shrugged. “Some time ago I saw Lois in a hotel downtown with a guy I recognized. “ He began. “He was her brother but they weren’t acting like brother and sister, so I had Breed check them out.” “You hired Breed to spy on Lois again?” I asked surprised. “ Last time he found nothing.” “Because he was looking into her present. I asked him to dig into her background. I didn’t think your dad bothered to have her investigated but I felt it would be a good idea, judging from the guy she was with.” “Her brother? Who is he?” “A guy named Don Richards. I first knew him when I
Chapter 101 Janet “Dad!” I said, standing up quickly. “What is going on here?” Dad asked, frowning at Kevin. “Nothing Kevin was…” “Just leaving.” Kevin cut in standing up. “ I will see you later. Keep cool Jan.” He said and left. “What was that?” Dad asked suspiciously. “Nothing Dad,” I stammered. “ We were just talking business.” “With your lips so close to him?” Dad asked, eyebrows raised. “It is not what you think Dad.” I said blushing. “No it is what I’m seeing. I thought you were going to keep away from that guy?” Dad asked. “I am.” “Yet you two are getting cozy on the couch?” “Come on Dad, he is part of the company. It was your idea to make him a shareholder remember?” “I do. That was business. This looked personal.” “It isn’t.” He looked at me closely. “Are you sure you are okay? If Watson is a problem-“ “He isn’t, really Dad. I am okay. Why are you here anyway?” “I came to tell you I was thinking of bringing forward our shareholders meeting,
