After Being Cheating

Her intention could be easily seen through. Daniel leaned down to her and sealed her ruby lips with a passionate kiss...

All of a sudden, the back seats became quiet, because something romantic was going on there.

The driver had to concentrate on the steering wheel. She had thought that they would burst into a huge argument, but instead they had ended up making out right behind her. The atmosphere inside the car started heating fast.

Janet let out a long sigh against his lips, and Daniel finally reluctantly let her go, looking as if he had had enough of her lipstick.

With a big smile on his face, he whispered in her ear, "How I'd wish to press you underneath me right now and vigorously..."

The rest of his words were sealed by her soft palm.

"Stop it! You should really clean your mouth corner!" She shyly glanced at his lipstick-smeared mouth, and giggled.

Daniel took a piece of tissue from the armrest and handed it to her. With a grin on his handsome face, he said, "Wipe it off for me!"

She took the tissue and carefully cleaned his lips.

Somehow things had improved from there. Without even noticing, Janet was lying on the car seat with Daniel above her, and fondly gazing at her.

"Boss Si, we have arrived." Shirley parked the car neatly in the parking lot. Her voice sounded normal.

When she heard her, Janet quickly pushed the man away, and struggled to get up. She hastily wiped her mouth with her hands, and mumbled, "That's enough, we're here!"

What a relief! Otherwise she would have ended up getting "bullied" by the big bad wolf...

They had arrived at the JH Grand Hotel. Daniel walked next to Janet with his hand casually put around her waist, and when they approached the elevator in the lobby, Shirley strode to call it for them.

She only entered the elevator after they entered first. Inside it, she silently stood behind them.

She felt jealous when she gazed at their backs, and thought what a perfect match they were.

Janet casually asked, "Who are we meeting with today? Why did you have to bring me along with you?"

"Some business partners." It wasn't necessary to bring a female companion for the occasion, but he wanted more people to know who Janet was.

The elevator reached the 8th floor, and they were greeted warmly by the hotel's manager, who had already been notified of Daniel's arrival by the receptionist down in the lobby.

He led the way for the three to Lounge 888.

The lounge was almost full, with only three seats remaining.

The main chair and the chair next to it were empty. There was also a third empty chair near the entrance.

The people inside all stood up once they saw Daniel entering the room. They greeted him to the main chair, and Janet smiled and gracefully sat down next to him.

"Boss Si, let me introduce you to Emma Gu, an established designer who recently returned from overseas."

Janet looked at Emma. She looked like her parents' age, and was indeed well dressed in an elegant fashion.

While she was looking at Emma, Emma was also checking her out.

She was stunned by her looks, and she reminded her of someone. They really looked alike...

"Miss Gu, this is Boss Si."

On hearing the other's introduction, Emma removed her gaze from Janet and politely shook hands with Daniel. She smiled professionally, and said, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Si. I have heard a lot of nice things about you!"

Who would have known that more than a decade later the Si family would still be dominating the business world in C Country, the Shao family the legal world and, of course, the Si family the medical world... Nothing seemed to have changed in the past decade...

As he sat down in the main chair, Daniel swiftly nodded, and said, "Thanks."

Emma had originally been the chief editor of a fashion magazine, but later she had decided to change her trade. She had gone abroad for a higher education, and had just recently returned to the country. Janet listened carefully to their talk. It seemed that Daniel was planning to hire Emma as his company designer, and to start with, she would be responsible for a fashion show.

Half way through their talk, Emma suddenly turned her head to Janet, and politely asked, "Mr. Si, who is the lady next to you? Would you mind introducing her to me, please?" The rest of the people heard her, and nodded, "She is really pretty. Is she actually Boss Si's rumoured girlfriend?"

"Wow, Boss Si, you really are lucky! What a beautiful girlfriend you have!"

"I heard that Miss Shao is Samuel Shao's daughter!"

Although Daniel hadn't answered her question, Emma had already discovered who Janet was by listening to the others. She was stunned by what she heard.

Janet was Samuel's daughter, and it had been no wonder that she had seemed so familiar.

Daniel finally opened his mouth, and said, "This is Janet Shao, my girlfriend! Janet, say hi to all of them."

The way he looked at her melted everyone's heart.

Janet nodded with a smile, and she gracefully held up her tea cup in front of her and greeted to everyone present. She said, "Mr. Li, Mr. Huang, Mr. Wen and Ms. Gu, it is my pleasure to meet you all. I look forward to working with you!"

Daniel raised his eyebrows when he heard her last sentence. Janet was a smart girl indeed, who knew how to establish business contacts whenever the opportunity presented itself to her.

With so many big bosses from so many different companies gathered there, it was a great opportunity for Janet. She had already made up her mind that once she would set up her own store, she would seek for partnerships with all of them.

When the big bosses saw Janet holding her cup, they also stood up from their chairs and cheered to her with their own cups. After some small talk, one of the bosses, Mr. Huang, jokingly asked Daniel, "Hey, Daniel, are you two getting married soon?"

Daniel flicked his cigarette, and smiled. He replied, "Soon enough."

"That's great news! My congratulations to you in advance, and please invite us to your wedding!"

"Sure thing!" It surprised Janet that Daniel actually gave his word to his business partners like that. She was both flattered and excited.

After that, they started having dinner, and after the dinner, the official business conference finally began.

Janet whispered to Daniel, "Excuse me, I have to go to the bathroom."

"I'll go with you!" replied Daniel. After whispering these words, Daniel was just about to stand up from his chair, but Janet stopped him by pulling on his wrist.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine. You should focus on the meeting."

Daniel thought better for a second and agreed. "Alright."

Janet then walked out of the lounge and headed towards the bathroom.

When she stepped out of stall, she found Emma standing next to her in front of the bathroom's sinks.

The way she looked at her made Janet feel uneasy.

When she had already seen Emma in the lounge earlier, she had already had a bad feeling about her. She could tell that Emma was constantly looking at her, checking her out.

"Hey..." To ease the tension, Janet broke the silence by greeting Emma.

To her surprise, Emma replied to her greeting with only one question. "How are the things between your father and mother?" she said.

Janet paused, and then slowly nodded, "They are doing fine. Ms. Gu, do you know my parents?"

However, her question had not been answered. As if she were alone there, Emma looked at herself in the mirror, carefully examining the wrinkles on her own face. 'I've clearly aged," thought Emma, as a bitter smile spread all across her face.

Janet knew straightaway that Emma must have had something to do with her parents. She seemed to be a woman with rich stories to tell.

Janet threw the hand wipe into the bin, and politely bid Emma goodbye. "I'm going now."

But Emma quickly pulled her wrist, and said, "Listen girl, I did something horrible to your mother ages ago. Please don't mention me in front of your parents!"

She was still afraid of Samuel.

She was concerned that Samuel would make her life worse if he thought that she was going to hurt his family again.

She had spent a lot of time in prison, and she really regretted what she had done to Ella...

'She did something horrible to mom?' Janet was confused by her words, and she looked at the woman standing in front her carefully. Emma looked younger than her real age, because the heavy foundation had covered up all the wrinkles on her face.

However, Janet could tell that Emma was much older than her mother was...

"Okay." Janet agreed with Emma's plea, because she seemed to not have any bad intention.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
