Chapter 358 City of Rose
...
Janet looked at the man and said, "Okay, I know. Be mindful of your wound, and don't forget to take your medicine on time. Daniel, if you don't, I swear I would get angry with you!" Daniel rolled his eyes, finally nodded, and promised, "Okay, I will!"
"You can go now," urged Janet. She watched him go inside his car and drive away.
As Daniel's car moved farther and farther away, Janet suddenly remembered that Daniel had told her their rings would be finished in half a month.
Since then, only a week had passed! Janet sighed, 'Okay... I still have to wait another week!'
Then, Janet, who was followed by Roma, went into her cake shop. Since she couldn't deal with the shop these past few days, Daniel had arranged for people to handle the renovations. When she entered her shop, Janet found that it had already been spruced up. She could already start buying her equipment and have them in place.
She also didn't need to concern herself with hiring employees because Daniel had that covered, too. She would have enough workers whenever she would like to open her shop.
Janet strolled around the shop and then went to the market to buy equipment and other necessities.
Earlier this morning, as they walked out of her house, Daniel demanded that she should use his credit card to buy the equipment for the shop.
Janet refused, but Daniel said, "You're already 27 years old. If you still use father's money, he will get mad and break ties with you!"
Of course, she knew the 'father' he mentioned was Samuel!
She also had understood that Daniel wasn't serious. Samuel might even be glad that his daughter still depended on him.
'Fine!' After thinking it through, Janet finally decided to use Daniel's money. Anyway, he had a lot to spare. Even if she spent tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, he wouldn't mind it at all. After she had bought some equipment and had come out of the market, Janet happened to notice a building undergoing construction. It was almost finished.
The building was named 'City of Rose'.
It looked splendid from the outside. The building was decorated with rose details on the outside and rose-shaped trinkets on the inside. The decor stayed true to the name.
She asked Roma to stop the car on the opposite side of the road. She watched the workers brushing paint. She wondered when this building began construction and why she didn't know about it. Why wasn't there any news about it?
Normally, if something this big was being constructed, it would have been on the news. But she hadn't heard anyone talking of it.
The workers were lathering on blush pink paint on the rose sculptures outside.
The roses resembled Janet's favorite kind of rose!
She really loved how this hotel looked, but then she wondered whether it was actually a hotel or a restaurant. She then saw some workers going in and out, carrying some expensively exquisite furniture. When she saw the workers move some dinner tables inside, she thought it was a restaurant.
But then when she saw some expensive beds, she concluded that this building was actually a hotel.
Judging from the building's external features and expensive furniture, Janet guessed that the hotel might be a five-star.
'A five-star hotel, oh...
That's at least one hundred million investment!
One hundred million!
Wow!' marveled Janet in her mind.
From now on, she had a new goal.
She had to earn one hundred million to purchase the City of Rose.
In the afternoon, when she met with Daniel, Janet couldn't stop talking about the hotel. She mentioned how there was a new grand hotel in the north being built, how it looked amazing, and how it was unheard of.
Daniel noticed that Janet's eyes sparkled as she talked about it.
Then, Janet added, "Could you help me find out who owns the City of Rose?"
"Why? What are you going to do?" asked Daniel. He looked at her with curiosity.
"I have to earn a lot of money as soon as possible to purchase that hotel!" swore Janet. That hotel was her dream, and she had never expected that someone would build her dream hotel.
'Was it Bill who owns it?' wondered Janet.
She remembered that she had only told Bill about building a rose-themed hotel.
She still couldn't believe it. She had only seen it in her dreams, never thinking it was possible to have it come to reality.
The man tittered and said, "Purchase it?"
"Can't I?" Janet glared at the tittering man.
Daniel raised his eyebrows and said, "Of course, you can! But, to my knowledge, that's a seven-star hotel. It's valued at over ten billion dollars, so... how are you going to afford it?"
Daniel didn't mean to look down upon Janet. He just wanted to know what she was going to do.
"What? Over ten billion?" Janet was shocked. She immediately gave up on the idea of buying it.
It was impossible. Janet instantly felt depressed.
"But if you really want it, it's still possible!" said Daniel. He looked at the woman, with an evil look in his eyes.
Janet was puzzled, and she asked, "How?"
Daniel then reached out for her and dragged her into his arms. With an evil smile, he flirted with her and said, "Kiss me. One kiss for a hundred million!"
Janet pinched his face and shook her head, saying, "No, it's worth ten billion, not one hundred million!"
Daniel was very wealthy. Ten billion was a piece of cake to him, But she still thought that she couldn't be so spoiled as to let Daniel spend ten billion in buying the hotel of her dreams. Daniel lowered his head, came closer to her face, and urged, "Kiss me now, and I promise you will have whatever you want!"
"No, I don't want it anymore. It's too expensive. It's not even a joke!" refused Janet.
"Come on!" coaxed Daniel.
"... I really don't want it anymore!" said Janet.
"You do want it! Now, hurry! Kiss me!"
Janet then gently gave him a kiss on the lips, stepped backward, and said, "Okay, that's enough!"
"No, it's not enough. That's just worth one hundred million!" said Daniel.
Janet laughed out loud and said, "One kiss for one hundred million... If that's really the case, then I would make you bankrupt!"
Daniel raised his brows and teased, "Really? How about we give it a shot?"
Janet sighed. If she agreed to kiss him, then she would be asking him to buy the hotel for her.
"No, next time... We'll kiss next time!" said Janet.
"Okay. How about ten kisses a day? What do you think?" asked Daniel.
"No, Daniel, I'm serious. I really don't want it... Ah..." Instantly, her red lips were kissed hard by Daniel.
After a long while, Daniel let her go and said, "Then, I'll kiss you myself, okay? Each kiss is worth one hundred million."
He would pay for it himself.
Daniel was really stubborn and naughty at times....
"Tell me. Why did you ask me to come to your company?"
Janet suddenly changed the topic. She wouldn't mention about the hotel before him again. Anyway, he might forget about it since he was always too busy.
Daniel looked at his wristwatch and saw that it was ten minutes past five. He said, "Let's go. I'll take you somewhere."
"Okay!" Janet then followed him out of his office.
When Spark saw them coming out, he greeted, "Hello, Mr. Si and Mrs. Si!"
"... Hello Spark!" Janet greeted back. She waved to him and thought how Spark really treated Daniel well! Spark had always been obedient to Daniel. Now, he always called her Mrs. Si. Daniel said, "Go and get my car ready. We'll wait for you at the company entrance!"
"Yes, Mr. Si!"
Spark immediately grabbed the car keys and walked toward the elevator.
This time, Daniel was driving a red Lamborghini. Janet didn't know that he had red sports car.
"Where are we going? Are we having dinner? Let's bring our daughters," said Janet. As she looked out of the car window, Janet talked to the man next to her. Daniel looked quite happy today. [
