After Being Cheating novel Chapter 25

Janet put her phone aside and began to print the documents according to Daniel's instruction.

After about half an hour, Janet sent the printed documents back to Daniel's office and spoke to him: "Mr. Si, these are all the documents you requested."

Daniel, who was checking his emails, didn't utter a word and just stared at his computer screen, absorbed in his current task.

'Does he think he's superior to others just because he's the company's CEO? How dare he ignores me?' thought Jane. Janet curled her lips and turned around to leave his office.

While Daniel asked her to stop, Janet just kept walking towards the door and replied with her back turned to him, "It's break time, Mr. Si." After she slammed his office door, she cleared up her office table and went out to have lunch.

In the afternoon, Janet received a reprimand note, which read: 'Due to the defiant behavior of not obeying the superior and speaking rudely to him, Janet Shao, from the secretary division, is punished to a fine of $500. Let this serve as a future warning for all others.'

...

Having not a care on the world for money, Janet didn't care about $500 whatsoever. This was just another act of hate on behalf of Daniel.

She crumpled up the reprimand, but then unfolded it to sign her name.

In the evening, after work

Janet was the first employee to run out of the company when work ended. 'Why did mother make such a tight time schedule? I finished work at six, and now I have to rush to the hotel to get in time for dinner.'

It was rush hour at that time, and it was very possible that she might hit a traffic jam, so Janet picked up the pace to arrive in time for her meeting.

At 6:50, Janet parked her car in front of the hotel's gate and walked towards the 601 private room, according to Ella's instructions.

The waitress took her to room 601. She opened the door and spoke: "Father and mother, why did you want to go out for dinner today, it's..." Janet stopped talking when she saw that there were other people inside.

"Jane, please, come and sit here, " said Ella. She stood up from her chair and drew Janet to sit beside her.

While Janet stared at Daniel, who was sitting opposite to her in silence, she thought to herself: 'Daniel was still at his office when I left the company; how did he arrive earlier than me?

And why are all these other people here?'

Janet tried to put her bad feelings aside, and said, "Father and mother*, I'm late. I apologize I kept you waiting for so long."

(*TN: Here Father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

"That's alright. You aren't late, because we also just arrived earlier." Lola comforted Jane and caressed the back of her hand.

When she saw that Jane was wearing the ear studs she gave her, Lola became even more happier.

"Jane, how's your work going at Daniel's company?" asked Nicole. Nicole was 29 years old now and worked for the SL Group abroad. When she learned that Jerry and Sally were going to get married soon, she found the time to return back home for a short while and to attend their wedding.

Janet briefly smiled at her, and said, "Nicole, father and mother* take good care of me and I'm doing very well there, thank you."

(*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

When he heard what she said, Daniel slightly raised his eyebrow.

He thought to himself that he also took good care of her at the SL Group. Especially when he wrote her the punishment note and didn't blink for a second when he signed it.

Samuel and Ella looked relieved at their daughter. And they also felt relieved, and believed that their daughter won't get bullied anymore since Lola took good care of her.

"Nicole, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?" asked Janet. She rarely met with Nicole, but she really liked and enjoyed her company, because she was a well educated lady.

She could see in Nicole certain types of etiquette not yet practiced by her, and so she always took Nicole as being a model example.
