... Janet looked at the man and said, "Okay, I know. Be mindful of your wound, and don't forget to take your medicine on time. Daniel, if you don't, I swear I would get angry with you!"
Daniel rolled his eyes, finally nodded, and promised, "Okay, I will!"
"You can go now, " urged Janet. She watched him go inside his car and drive away.
As Daniel's car moved farther and farther away, Janet suddenly remembered that Daniel had told her their rings would be finished in half a month.
Since then, only a week had passed! Janet sighed, 'Okay... I still have to wait another week!'
Then, Janet, who was followed by Roma, went into her cake shop. Since she couldn't deal with the shop these past few days, Daniel had arranged for people to handle the renovations. When she entered her shop, Janet found that it had already been spruced up. She could already start buying her equipment and have them in place.
She also didn't need to concern herself with hiring employees because Daniel had that covered, too. She would have enough workers whenever she would like to open her shop.
Janet strolled around the shop and then went to the market to buy equipment and other necessities.
Earlier this morning, as they walked out of her house, Daniel demanded that she should use his credit card to buy the equipment for the shop.
Janet refused, but Daniel said, "You're already 27 years old. If you still use father's money, he will get mad and break ties with you!"
... Of course, she knew the 'father' he mentioned was Samuel!
She also had understood that Daniel wasn't serious. Samuel might even be glad that his daughter still depended on him.
'Fine!' After thinking it through, Janet finally decided to use Daniel's money. Anyway, he had a lot to spare. Even if she spent tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, he wouldn't mind it at all.
After she had bought some equipment and had come out of the market, Janet happened to notice a building undergoing construction. It was almost finished.
The building was named 'City of Rose'.
It looked splendid from the outside. The building was decorated with rose details on the outside and rose-shaped trinkets on the inside. The decor stayed true to the name.
She asked Roma to stop the car on the opposite side of the road. She watched the workers brushing paint. She wondered when this building began construction and why she didn't know about it.
Why wasn't there any news about it?
Normally, if something this big was being constructed, it would have been on the news. But she hadn't heard anyone talking of it.
The workers were lathering on blush pink paint on the rose sculptures outside.
...
The roses resembled Janet's favorite kind of rose!
She really loved how this hotel looked, but then she wondered whether it was actually a hotel or a restaurant. She then saw some workers going in and out, carrying some expensively exquisite furniture.
When she saw the workers move some dinner tables inside, she thought it was a restaurant.
But then when she saw some expensive beds, she concluded that this building was actually a hotel.
Judging from the building's external features and expensive furniture, Janet guessed that the hotel might be a five-star.
'A five-star hotel, oh...
That's at least one hundred million investment!
One hundred million!
Wow!' marveled Janet in her mind.
From now on, she had a new goal.
She had to earn one hundred million to purchase the City of Rose.
In the afternoon, when she met with Daniel, Janet couldn't stop talking about the hotel. She mentioned how there was a new grand hotel in the north being built, how it looked amazing, and how it was unheard of.
Daniel noticed that Janet's eyes sparkled as she talked about it.
Then, Janet added, "Could you help me find out who owns the City of Rose?"
"Why? What are you going to do?" asked Daniel. He looked at her with curiosity.
"I have to earn a lot of money as soon as possible to purchase that hotel!" swore Janet. That hotel was her dream, and she had never expected that someone would build her dream hotel.
'Was it Bill who owns it?' wondered Janet.
She remembered that she had only told Bill about building a rose-themed hotel.
She still couldn't believe it. She had only seen it in her dreams, never thinking it was possible to have it come to reality.
