Revenge is best served cold (Jane and Jeremiah novel Chapter 285

No one warned me that skipping post-workout stretches would be this painful! Just picking up a pen took all my strength. How was I supposed to do anything else?

As if things weren't bad enough, Jules walked in to inform me that I had another meeting to attend.

I lay face down on my desk, defeated. But ultimately, I was dragged up and shoved into the elevator by Jules.

The moment it started, Dad's face was practically glowing with satisfaction.

"I just got a call from the City Energy Commission. The government is highly optimistic about our new energy project."

As he said that, he turned to me. "This is all thanks to our vice president, Jane, for her incredible foresight and vision."

I smiled slightly and glanced at Jack.

Sure enough, the moment my father mentioned "vice president", Jack's expression visibly darkened.

After all, the company had two vice presidents, but everyone knew Dad wasn't talking about him.

Dad and I exchanged a glance, and then he continued, "Because of this, the City TV Network wants one of our representatives to appear on an interview program. The main purpose of today's meeting is to choose the company representative. Since Jane initiated the project and personally secured the deal, she's the most knowledgeable person to speak on it."

The other board members nodded in agreement. The decision was made so quickly that before I even had the time to process it, I was already chosen as the representative.

The interview was set for Friday night, and before then, I needed to find a suitable outfit to appear on TV.

I had already checked my wardrobe at home, but after watching some past interviews, I realized I didn't have anything quite right for the occasion. So, after work, I headed to the mall, hoping to find something that fit the bill.

Just as I stepped out of the elevator, I locked eyes with Elsa, who was passing by. Her first reaction was to look behind me, searching for someone. Failing to see Eric, she disappointedly retracted her gaze.
