"OK, I'll give her a chance to accept an interview. But I won't intervene in her recruitment," said Daniel. Janet was the only one who had ever been employed through the inner relations in the SL Group's history.
"OK, if she's employed, please give her more chances, and let her help more with your work," said Janet. Janet was now feeling regretful that she didn't choose a business management degree. Otherwise, she could help Daniel herself.
Although she had worked with the SL Group, it was only for a short period and she could only do minimal, basic tasks. She could hardly grasp Daniel's important commercial affairs.
Daniel looked affectionately at this innocent girl, and thought that he could never find another woman as silly as her in this world.
What kind of woman would arrange her own man to be with another woman?
Didn't Janet throw a fit about trusting Daniel? Why was she bringing her woman best friend close to him?
Perhaps she thought that the best job was to stay by Daniel's side! God! This stupid girl!
"But..." Daniel remarked, "It may not be best for Shirley Zheng to be my secretary or assistant." He tried to talk some sense into her.
Janet thought his words meant that he didn't believe in what Shirley was capable of, so she gripped his palm tight and assured him. "Shirley will be great for the job. She can endure anything! I always saw her read books until two o'clock in the morning when we were in college." Janet had the utmost admiration for Shirley and her resiliency.
"No, Janet," Daniel explained, with a sigh, "What I meant was that Shirley is female, my beloved woman's best friend, don't you think..." Before he could speak out the words "it might send out the wrong signal", Janet curled her lips and stared at Daniel, with annoyance.
"If you're not willing to give her the chance, then forget it. I'll keep her in my cake shop!" said Janet. Janet didn't comprehend Daniel at all. She only thought that Daniel didn't like Shirley, that he doubted Shirley's skills.
Daniel could feel her frustration, so he sighed and said, "Don't get angry. We'll do as you say."
Daniel thought it best to leave it alone. He did need help, and if Shirley Zheng was so capable, then it would be good to have one more effective assistant.
After hearing those words, Janet smiled and kissed his cheek. "I'll go to America with you. Let me go home to pack my luggage."
When Daniel heard that she was going back home, he held her tighter and demanded, "No, don't leave. Stay here with me tonight."
During his two months in America, he had used up all his restraint to keep himself from contacting her.
Now, she was in his arms, and he did not want to let her go.
"I have to. My father will get angry," Janet disagreed.
Samuel still had beef with Daniel, and Janet didn't know what to do.
Hearing her mention her father, Daniel loosened his arms off of her waist and said, "Don't worry! I'll talk to him. Wait for me in the bedroom."
He stood up from the sofa and took his phone out to make a call.
"Are you calling my father? What are you going to tell him?" asked Janet. She got tense all of a sudden.
Samuel was extremely resentful toward Daniel, so Janet was afraid that Daniel might have a hard time dealing with him.
Daniel gave her a kiss on the lips. "Relax. I will talk to my father-in-law. Go to the bedroom now," he assured her.
When she heard Daniel call her Dad "father-in-law", Janet's face flushed crimson. She mischievously bit his hand and said, "What do you mean father-in-law?"
"Yes, my honey!" Daniel tittered.
My goodness! This shameless man! Janet, with her face flushing red and her foot stomping on the floor, took her handbag and walked to the bedroom.
