"This way, I will be at ease," Master Duncan said softly before hanging up the phone.
The last sentence was very light. If one did not listen carefully, he would not be able to hear it at all.
But these words made Jane feel so bitter that she wanted to cry. Master Duncan really took her as a treasure. He was afraid that she would not live a happy life.
William didn't explain much about worshipping the ancestors, but judging from his serious face, she knew that the Duncans valued this custom very much.
At 5:30 pm, it was the late peak of City J.
The couple had already set off early, but they had forgotten that it was Friday and it was the most congested time of the week.
William drove while Jane sat in the passenger seat and sent a message to Pearl.
According to the road condition, it would take them half an hour to get there.
There were clearly only a few intersections and they could not get through it. And now she had no way to ride a bike, her fever had just subsided. Being able to come out for dinner was because that she begged him in a low voice.
"Sit down."
William gave Jane a look of disgust. He had just noticed that this woman had become smart, but actually she was still as stupid as before.
Before thinking about others, consider yourself first!
"After today's gathering, before I take you back to the countryside to worship our ancestors, you need to rest at home and not go anywhere."
Jane secretly looked at William. He has chiseled side facial features and a deep facial contour. Every time he taught her a lesson, she always felt guilty.
"Can't we negotiate? The company..."
She had just taken over the jewelry company. Although her assistant was capable, as the boss, she should show up and run the affairs herself.
"Without you, the company won't close down."
"In other words, it doesn't matter even if the company closes down. Just run another." William stepped on the brakes and turned to Jane. Only a dozen cars passed the traffic light.
She was speechless. Rich people were accustomed to using money to deal with anything, and money could solve many problems.
No wonder the employees of the Duncan Group all said that their CEO was cold-blooded. He was simply a big devil!
"Alright, alright. I'll listen to you."
Jane had started to figure out how to deal with him. Anyway, he had to go to work. When the time came, she would go against him, acting first and reporting afterward.
"Don't try to go against me. I will stay at home and not go anywhere."
Jolene's eyes turned up and down, wandering, with a look that was up to something. "It's the end of the year. I don't have many activities to attend. It's good to work at home," he said coldly.
He was very proud to kill this woman's little scheme in the bud.
Jane was speechless.
The couple had a battle of wits and courage. In the first round, Jane was defeated.
Half an hour later, the couple arrived at the private restaurant. It was in an antique courtyard in City J.
The courtyard had not been renovated too much, and it still maintained the state of a residence dozens of years ago, absolutely retro.
"The head chef is a descendant of a royal chef who served Empress Dowager Cixi before."
William pushed open the reserved private room and suddenly, a suspicious object flew out from it.
In an instant, he wrapped his arms around Jane's waist, turned around, and the couple retreated to the door.
The crisis was over and the suspicious item was a banana peel.
"Indeed, you stole my motorcycle in the middle of the night because you are in a hurry, but how do you explain you wearing a woman's clothes?"
Inside the room, Pearl was scolding Robert.
She had disliked this jerk for a long time, but she could not say too much just because he robbed her motorcycle to give Jane an injection.
She originally wanted to have a meal with Jane and then go abroad for the New Year. As for the annoying fly, she planned to pretend not to see him.
But before Jane came, the fly flew in first.
"I like women's clothing. What has it got to do with you? You're such a busybody. Why don't you work in the neighborhood committee?"
Talk is fine, but why did she fight? Robert had never seen such a savage woman before. She would never be able to get married in her entire life!
Let's cease hostilities and negotiate for peace. Everyone is friends.
"Difficult."
William commented, hoping that Jane would not have too much hope.
The couple stood at the door, the door kept open, and the cold wind drilled into it.
"William, Jane, you're here!"
Robert was facing the door. Seeing the couple, he quickly stood up and greeted them warmly.
They came at the right time. If they came later, he was afraid he would be forced to become a murderer.
Why was there such a huge gap between women?
Jane was gentle and had a good temper. She would never say such vicious words.
"Janie!"
Pearl turned her back to the door. She quickly stood up and held Jane tightly under William's cold eyes.
"Janie, how are you? You need to find a professional doctor if you have a fever. Don't hire an idiot."
Pearl glared at Robert and said.
"If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you making oblique accusations?"
Robert was so angry that he stood up again. William signaled him to sit down.
For the sake of William, Robert would spare Pearl today. Otherwise, he would not let this woman off!
Pearl narrowed her eyes. If there was no end to it, there would be no end to it. The jerk had a sharp tongue and was vicious. He found all kinds of excuses after robbing the motorcycle. How shameless!
"Don't mention it. Recently, I've been carrying bad luck all the time."
Jane chatted with Pearl. After being trapped in the elevator for an entire night, a large-scale blackout came and she had a cold night. In the end, her fever could not subside.
