"... I don't know how to put it to you. They still had a heart. When I mentioned that I was pregnant, they let me go!"
Daniel remained silent for a while after she finished speaking, and just stared at her.
Janet couldn't tell how he felt from the complicated look in his eyes.
She wasn't even aware that he had furiously clenched his fists inside his pockets.
She gently called out to him, "Daniel..."
'What is he thinking about? It's been too long since he uttered another word!'
The man held Janet into his arms so tight that it was difficult for her to breathe.
Daniel rested his eyes on her, and in a coarse voice, said, "Don't ever leave me again."
He regretted that he hadn't been there to breathe soothing words in her ear when everything came flooding in, and that he hadn't been there when anger and frustration had gotten the best of her.
Janet should not have put up with the pain and sufferings that had ensued for her because of his stone cold heart.
It was Janet who had made Daniel feel the most indebted to.
From now on, Daniel decided that he would not allow anyone in the world to boss around Janet or make her suffer ever again.
He wasn't a true man if he ever failed in doing that again.
He felt her heart beating faster, and she felt it against his own heart, throbbing inside his chest.
She followed his overbearing dictation, with no resistance, and said, "Fine."
"Janet," he rumbled.
The girl in his arms suddenly looked up to him, tight-lipped and aggrieved, and finally said, "Daniel."
"Yes?"
"You don't love me any more. You used to call me Jane!" She accused him of this, because she liked it the most when he called her "Jane". That simple word, when he spoke it out loud, aroused an orgasm in her ears.
The man burst out laughing, holding her face, and touching his forehead to hers.
"Jane, I love you," he said.
Janet was now overwhelmed with sweet joy, and put on a happy smile back on her face.
Under the tree, a lovely scenery could be seen, two lovers tenderly embracing each other.
Janet could even hear whispers around them. "The guy looks like Daniel; you know, the bossy CEO."
"Well, he does, indeed. Cute boys like him are rare to see nowadays."
"Rumour has it that he also has a daughter. The girl he's hugging should be the mother of the kid, shouldn't she?"
Daniel was just about to kiss the girl before he heard the gossips around them. Suddenly, he looked back at the gossiping girls, and affirmatively shouted, "Yeah, she's the mother of my child."
Suddenly, there was an outburst of screams, attracting even more attention. The girls wanted to approach them, but when they thought better, they decided not to.
"Wow! He really is Daniel!"
"I can't believe that Daniel really talked to us. Oh my god, he's so cute. My heart... Oh my god, I need a CPR."
"You're stupid. Take a pic of him!"
...
They were one step behind them, and they could only see their backs.
Daniel didn't seem be bothered by those who followed them and took snapshots, because he had intended to announce to the whole world that Janet was his girlfriend.
There were too many people who had wanted to take a frontal picture of the two.
The bodyguards had to step in and keep the crowd at bay away from the couple.
Janet frowned a little at the sight of so many girl fans taking their pictures, and said, "Mr. Si, how about starting out a new career?"
