Janet, for the moment, forgot all about her old scars and pains that Daniel had brought her, but still thought how to punish him, somehow, if she ever had the chance.
Janet spent the following two days in her bakery working with her apprentices, preparing all the ingredients needed for the mango mousse cups.
And on the third day, Janet got up at early, 5 o' clock in the morning, to make the promised mousse cups.
She worked without taking any break until the noon. At lunch time, as she put her hands around her aching waist, Janet scolded Daniel in her mind for countless times. 'He must be playing some sort of tricks', she thought.
What a back-breaking work she did that day!
Before the dinner, when she finally finished all of her work, Janet packaged all the mousse cups and then called a van and delivered them to the SL Group.
Downstairs, Janet called Daniel: "I'm here with the delivery, where should I put the mousse cups?"
"Come upstairs. Spark will handle the desserts for you, " answered Daniel.
"Alright."
Janet then took the elevator up to the 88th floor, carrying a small case wearily in her hands.
Janet found that although she had left the SL Group for some time, the people there were still talking about her whenever she saw her.
Sighing, she went straight, without knocking, into the CEO's office.
When she saw the people in the room, Janet was dazed for a second's time. Then she understood why Daniel had asked her to prepare the extra dessert for him.
"Kate, this is the dessert I ordered just for you, " spoke Daniel, looking tenderly at the woman sitting opposite to him.
Kate, who was disappointed at seeing Janet, turned pleasantly surprised.
Walking on her 8 cm high-heel shoes, she came near Janet.
"Put down the dessert, and then you can leave, " she said. Actually, Kate had known Daniel's real intentions regarding Janet, but she pretended that she didn't.
"What is this, Daniel?" asked Janet while staring at him furiously.
"What don't you understand? I ordered this dessert for my girlfriend only, isn't it obvious?" replied Daniel indifferently.
Janet then took a deep breath; she initially had thought that Daniel had ordered this dessert just for himself. So when she had almost finished all the mango mousse cups, she had put all her talent into this single mango cake, just for him.
She now knew that the truth was highly overrated; Daniel just wanted to mess around with her again. So he could show his deep affection to Kate, and embarrass Janet in the process!
Janet walked around Kate to Daniel's desk, opened small case she was carrying, took out the knife and cut the cake into smaller pieces.
"No, Janet, I can do it by myself, thanks!" Kate wanted to stop her.
Janet gave her an angry look, forked one piece of the cake and then put it into her own mouth, watching Kate's hands freeze in the air.
After all, the mango cake was made by her, and she didn't want it thrown away for nothing.
"Neither one of you, from now on, can eat the things that I personally make!" As Janet hadn't eaten anything all afternoon, she finished all the cake all by herself.
Unfortunately, she choked on the dessert because she ate it too fast...
Janet's face suddenly turned red, but then she just took a piece of tissue, spat the piece of cake in it, wiped her mouth and quickly left the office with her hand covering her mouth.
'I won't accept anything from Daniel, not even a water droplet!'
Janet rushed out of the SL Group, and after a long run, when she was almost breathless, she found a convenience store. She went into the store, brought a bottle of water and chugged it even before paying for it.
