"Janet Shao, well done, indeed! I hope you'll get a regular spot among Daniel's other lovers." The daughter of the well-known lawyer Samuel Shao, abandoned her self-esteem just to be man's lover. What a stupid girl!
If this news were to be someday exposed to public, the whole Shao family's reputation would suffer enormously.
"Thank you for your praises. Tell you what, I'll ask Daniel to call you back when he is available. OK? Even the ancient emperors had to treat their lovers fairly, right? If he really doesn't want to speak with you, I'll beg him to at least have pity on you!"
Janet now seemed to showcase how generous she was and how pitiful Kate was!
The reason Kate had called Daniel was because she wanted something from him, but now, in Janet's mind, she seemed to be another grumbling woman.
"Enough!" An angry voice sounded behind her, and then the phone was taken away by Daniel.
Too bad! Janet had so much fun playing with Kate that she didn't even notice when Daniel had came out of the bathroom. She drew back her neck in fear and then looked at Daniel, who now had a long face.
Then she stood up in the bed, held his neck in her hands, and said belligerently, "Don't talk to her!"
She felt uneasy when she saw Daniel and Kate talking to each other on the phone.
Daniel shook off her arms, put the phone over his ear and then went out on the balcony, "Kate."
After hearing Daniel scold Janet, Kate seemed to know what had really happened there and felt more relieved.
Since Daniel knew what Janet had done, she didn't have to relate it to him anymore. 'Daniel would know that I'm a generous girl,' thought Kate.
"Daniel, there's something wrong with the company. Mr. Xue is unable to provide funds to me anymore. I..."
Daniel leaned against the balcony's handle and looked around the bedroom. Janet puckered her lips and then jumped off the bed.
"Don't worry, that's just a slight issue. Mr. Xue is in jail now. Tomorrow I'll ask Spark to invest some money in Changsheng in the name of the SL Group."
This was exactly what Kate was waiting for him to say. She then spoke in a cheerful voice, "Daniel, thank you!"
"Don't mention it. Is there anything else I can do for you?" Daniel saw Janet put her phone into her bag and open the bedroom door.
He went into the bedroom with his phone.
"There is another problem..."
While listening to Kate's problem, Daniel followed Janet, stopped her, threw her into an empty room, and then locked the door.
"As for this problem, first check your financial accounts, and then ask the manager to..." While Janet was trying to break open the door, Daniel stood in the corridor and casually spoke with Kate on how to solve the problem they were discussing.
Twenty minutes later, Kate raised her lips and said, "Thank you, Daniel. I got it!"
"OK. Have a good night." He was just about to end the call, but Kate stopped him and spoke in a more hesitating tone, "Daniel, I'm your girlfriend. You... Could you... could you stay away from Janet?"
He knew what she meant and he interrupted her, "Don't worry. You're my girlfriend at all times. Don't trouble yourself."
'It turns out that I'm Daniel's girlfriend only officially, but Daniel is fully focused on Janet...' thought Kate.
"Got it. Daniel, good night... I love you."
But what she got in return was only a busy tone.
Kate put down her phone and rubbed her temples. She couldn't figure out Daniel's mind.
Kate had known Daniel and had a crush on him long before Janet had appeared in his life.
Daniel hadn't rejected her approaching, but had only told her, "Even if I'm with you, what you can only get is my body."
She hadn't understood what this had meant until Janet appeared.
Did Daniel really have a crush on Janet?
