Cosset You Forever novel Chapter 796

Janet's name was just mentioned, and she felt very nervous for a while; she then stood up alongside Brian. After nodding to the guests, she spoke in a tender voice, "Grandpa Han, thank you, and also many thanks to all the honorable guests present here. A lot of you are accomplished elders, and please forgive me if you find that my cake is not good enough."

"You, the Shao family's girl, are so modest. I've heard that your shop is always crowded and the monthly business turnover is good, and that's because the owner works very hard and is serious with each and every one of her cakes." Wesley Si, the general officer, first spoke. He now had to support this girl, as she was the sworn daughter of his cousin.

After Charles Han and Wesley Si's praises went to Janet, the other guests present also followed their examples and made their compliments: "The Shao family's girl has both her father's and mother's best genes, and she boldly started her own bakery at such an early age. That is not an easy task to accomplish, indeed!"

"Right, my granddaughter has bought desserts from her shop, and they tasted really good."

"Mr. Han made Janet Shao a special introduction. Does that mean that she could maybe get married with Brian very soon?"

"Aren't they top gossip these days on the Internet? It said online that they are actually boyfriend and girlfriend."

"The Shao family and Han family, if they are united under this marriage, their power will be very great."

...

With a decent smile on her face, Janet sat down beside Brian and finally relaxed.

There were so many elders here that she had to be extra careful and not to make any more trouble. If she were to offend anyone of these elders, that would count as big bad joke coming on her behalf and of her family's!

Daniel still kept calm and silent in the midst of all these discussions. Even when someone happened to casually mention Janet's name to him, he still showed little or no care, as if that was the name of an unknown person.

Then the guests began to take their forks in their hands and had a try of Janet's cake; so did Daniel. He sliced the cake into three pieces and then put one of it into his mouth.

Kate began to feel a little uneasy, as she knew that Daniel didn't eat any sweets at all.

Even when they were engaged in social or business-like activities, he never touched the desserts in the hotels.

But now...

When the dinner was almost at it's end, Janet gave Brian a notice and then she left her seat at the table to go to the lady's room.

Bill, who was sitting right next to her, wouldn't miss the chance to be alone together with Janet, so he also sat up and walked towards the men's room.

Janet washed her hands and came out, but then she saw that Bill was standing there, leaning his back against the wall, waiting for her.

"Jane," he spoke. Bill was so excited to see her again and jumped out of his shoes to come near her.

Janet threw a tissue in the dustbin, and said, "Why did you follow me for?"

"I saw you sitting up from the table, so I followed you out. You know, I am always ready to protect you no matter what."

Bill rested his arms on Janet's shoulder and then they walked together back towards the dinning hall.

When they passed by a door, Janet took a look at the garden, and said, "I want to take a breath of fresh air, outside. You go ahead first, I'll come later."

"I come with you," replied Bill without hesitation, and with this he put his hands inside his pockets.

Janet didn't refuse him, but said, "Then you go back and bring the rose bouquet for me so that I can put it in the car first."

'The flowers are beautiful, I have to take care of them,' she thought.

"OK, you wait for me here," said Bill. Then he went back to the dinning hall, grabbed the pink rose bouquet, and again went out.

Brian was watching Bill's strange moves all the way, and then saw him joining with Janet at one of the dinning hall's doors and then walking with her into the garden.

'What are they doing?' he pondered. Brian put down his cutlery, wiped his mouth, and then followed them out in the garden.
