'OK, Spark is right. I have the support of sworn father and sworn mother, Daniel wouldn't dare to cheat me!' Janet thought.
She then took out a pen and signed her name on it.
There was a flicker of satisfaction flashing in Spark's eyes because he could now finally ask for his vacation when he returned to the company.
But when Spark was about to say something more, Janet's phone rang. "Hello, Shirley!" she answered.
"What? You're getting married? When's the wedding?"
"The day after tomorrow? Mhm. At your house?"
"Of course I'll come! Give me the address."
"Wait, what was that? Xiaxi Village, of Xiaxi Town? Better send me the full address on Wechat, my navigation will take me there."
"Um, well, take care of your baby, I love you! See you then!"
Janet then put her phone back in her pocket and noticed that Spark was still there. "Anything else?" she asked.
"Yes, there is one more contract from Mr. Si that needs to be signed. It's the contract for the one thousand mousse cups that he discussed with you last time. Please sign here, and here," Spark said.
Spark then put two A4 sized pieces in front of her.
'Why is signing contracts so troublesome?' thought Janet.
She still had to work on the desserts and had no time left to spare for Spark, so she quickly signed her name on the sheets of paper.
Putting her copy of the contracts into her bag, she then continued to work on the desserts.
At the CEO Office of the SL Group
Looking at the two signed copies of the contracts, Daniel grinned a big smile, and said, "Job well done!"
Spark felt proud of himself, but actually he successfully fulfilled the task only because of Janet's simple and innocent mind.
"Thank you, Mr. Si. About my vacation..." Spark said.
"I'll permit it, and I'll personally pay for all of your travel expenses," Daniel said. Looking at Janet Shao's scribbled signature, Daniel started to imagine that she was now engulfed by him, under the protection of law.
"Oh! Thank you, Mr, Si!" When Spark was just about to leave the office, he remembered of Janet's phone call, and wondered whether if he should tell him or not.
In the end, he decided that he'd better tell him, because his CEO was really, after all, in love with Janet.
"Mr. Si, Miss Shao will go to the Xiaxi Village of Xiaxi Town of Shenqing City the day after tomorrow, to attend one of her former college classmate's wedding ceremony," Spark said.
"OK, I see." Daniel lit a cigarette and didn't seem to care much about it.
Janet could go anywhere she wanted to, as long as she would eventually come back. And after all, it was only her friend's wedding ceremony.
In Shenqing City
A red Mercedes Benz was being followed by a black BMW car behind. Janet carefully looked at the car's navigation, 'Why is there no road ahead?' she thought, 'Well! Anyway! The bodyguards in the BMW are coming in handy this time,' she thought.
Putting on her pair of five-inch high heels, Janet got out of her car and went to knock at the BMW's window.
"Miss Shao!"
"Hello, my navigation seems to have some problems. I need to go to... Xiaxi Village, but I can't find the road!" She had driven for almost five hours, and hadn't seen anyone that she could ask for help in the suburban districts of the small towns she passed through.
