Miss Qin explained to her, "Miss Zheng is on the business trip with Mr. Si."
Janet was surprised by her words. Shirley traveling with Daniel? She didn't know why she felt uneasy when she heard this, even though she knew it was for work.
She asked her another question. "What about Mr. Shi?"
Because Janet was different from all the others, Miss Qin patiently explained to her, "Mr. Shi also went with them. There are five people altogether." Except for Mr. Si, Mr. Shi, and Miss Zheng, there are also two public relations supervisors.
Oh! There were five people on the business trip! Janet then sighed with a sudden relief in her heart.
"Well, this is a soy-bean milk cake that I've made for Shirley. Since she isn't here, you can share it with your colleagues!" Janet handed the bag she was carrying to Miss Qin, and inside it there was the soy-bean milk cake and some other desserts.
All the desserts were made for the other employees, and it was a pity that Shirley had missed her soy-bean milk cake made specially for her, but Janet would bring her one next time.
Miss Qin was a little embarrassed when she received the cake, because when Janet worked here before, they had often gossiped about her behind her back.
"Miss Shao, it's so nice of you to do this, but this was intended for Shirley, and we can't take it!" Secretary Qin said all of this with embarrassment.
Janet then laughed, and she thought that Miss Qin was too polite, and said, "It's nothing precious here, just some cakes I made by myself. You can have a taste."
Since Janet insisted, Miss Qin thought that she would act affected if she did not receive it. She accepted the bag, and said, "Thank you, Miss Shao!"
"You are welcome. Shirley is my friend, and if she ever needs any help with her work, I hope you can do her a favor!" Janet knew that Shirley cared about her job very much. She was a new-comer there, and Janet made up her mind to make more desserts for the secretaries, so they would be more willing to help Shirley out in the future.
Miss Liu overheard their conversation, and she added, "Janet, you don't have to worry about Miss Zheng. She is very capable, and that's a fact, because Mr. Si decided to take her on his business trip. Maybe, in the future, we'll be the ones that will depend on Shirley to take care of us!"
Miss Liu had said this from the bottom of his heart. She was not flattering.
Janet felt very happy that Shirley was doing great at her work, and she also felt very proud of her. She said, "Then I am rest assured. Thank you all, and please, go ahead with your work, I'll be leaving now. Sorry for disturbing you."
"Okay. Goodbye, Miss Shao!" said Miss Qin. The secretaries then waved goodbye at Janet.
She went into the elevator feeling delighted, and after she left, several secretaries gathered together to discuss about her. "I really regret the things I said about her, she's actually very nice."
Miss Qin nodded in agreement. She took a bite off the chocolate cake, and said, "I had thought that she worked in our company just to be close to our CEO, but I heard that she quarrelled with Mr. Si and shouted at him just the other day. It now seems that it was actually Mr. Si who was begging to be with her!"
They immediately felt that Janet was lucky and happy, being chased and sought after by their Prince Charming CEO.
"Yes, you are right, she is indeed a very nice person. She is very good to Shirley, and I heard that her family is very poor. But Janet doesn't mind this at all, and she really takes Shirley as her true friend." Hearing all of this, Miss Liu then also wanted to make friends with Janet.
Miss Tan, the senior secretary put down her glasses, and said, "Janet isn't a complex girl, and she doesn't try to win people's support or friendship through false flattery or other hooks. She just acts the way she likes, and that's why many people don't like her."
"Miss Tan is right, but she is better than those hypocrites."
Miss Qin finished her chocolate cake and wiped her mouth. She said, "Her cake is really good. No wonder her business is doing so well. We should be nice to her when she come here again. It's not good to act out against her."
All the people enjoyed the desserts sent by Janet, but only Miss Tan was staring at the tiramisu cake in front of her. She didn't know if she was wrong, and she often felt that Miss Zheng was purposely showing herself in front of Mr. Si.
She didn't know whether secretary Zheng was doing it unwittingly or if she had other intentions...
Walking out of the SL Group, Janet received a call from Daniel. "Hi! What's up?" she said.
