Chapter Chapter42 An Awkward Situation
"Yes... yes." Jane's answer was stiff, and her expression was somewhat uncomfortable. Fortunately, the elevator door opened at this time. She smiled at Sarah,"Miss. Crowe, please, I'm going to do my work." Then she turned, went out of the elevator, returned to her seat, put down the bag, and casually flipped through the documents on the table. Sarah went straight into Jeffery's office. The moment the door was closed, Jane raised her head.
Looking at the door of the office, she had mixed feelings. Just as she was in a daze, Tina came over and served Jane cups of coffee. She asked casually, "Who is this woman? She said she was the president's girlfriend as soon as she came, but Susie and Mr. Jones didn't say anything. Jane, doesn't Mrs. Jones like you?"
Jane just didn't want to talk. She knew what Tina meant. Those people below were waiting to see her make fun of herself. Apparently, Tina was trying to get something out of her.
"How would I know?" Jane looked down at the file and said casually, "It's his business who the president likes. You can ask Mr. Jones yourself and why ask me."
Tina sneered and walked around her.
The company's atmosphere in the morning made Jane very uncomfortable. Sarah stayed in Jeffery's office for the whole morning. At noon, she came out with Jeffery, holding Jeffery's arm with a sweet smile. Jeffery passed by Jane without looking at Jane. Instead, Sarah suddenly stopped and smiled at Jane: "Jane, I'm going to have dinner with Jeffery. I haven't thanked you for taking care of him. Why don't you come with us? It's my treat."
Sarah's words were very tolerant in the eyes of outsiders, and she was making others feeling that she was a really nice person. Jeffery did not speak from beginning to end.
Jane was in a dilemma in public and didn't know what to do. She subconsciously looked at Jeffery. In the past, he would stand on her side and protect her, but now he didn't respond at all.
"Mr. Jones, I want to take a half-day leave in the afternoon. I have something personal to deal with." Jane stood up and politely reported to Jeffery.
Before Jeffery could open his mouth, Sarah beside him asked. "You have something to do in the afternoon. Do you need help? Please take it as thanks to you for taking care of Jeffery."
"No, thanks for Miss Crowe's kindness. I can solve it myself. I just want to ask Mr. Jones for a half-day leave."
"Go early and come back early. Don't delay your work." Jeffery was a little impatient, and his tone was very cold. After that, he glanced at Sarah, who was next to him, "Don't you want to eat? Are you leaving or not?"
"Then let's go." Sarah smiled, waved to Jane and took Jeffery to leave.
Jane didn't speak, and her nose was a little sour. Tina, who was next to her, wore a disdainful smile. She had wanted to flatter Jane before, but now it seemed that she didn't need to.
Jane packed up her things and came out of the company to avoid Sarah. Then she met Larry and Susie. She deliberately avoided them but was stopped by Susie.
Susie knew Sarah's arrival, and naturally wanted to see her make a fool of herself. Now that she had the opportunity to add insult to injury, how could she let it go? "Look at who this is, isn't it my cousin's fiancee? What's wrong, it's such a mess, where is my cousin?"
Jane didn't say anything and looked at Susie quietly. She blocked the road, and Jane didn't want to waste time arguing with her.
Susie saw that Jane didn't speak
and thought that Jane didn't dare to argue with her after losing Jeffery's protection, so she became more and more unscrupulous. She said t and more unpleasantly. "Jane,
secretary Jane, don't you
have a lot to say? What's the matter now? Are you dumb? Don't pretend to be noble as if you have been wronged. If you become a prostitute, don't put on airs. Later, I will
introduce you to several big
customers. Although they are not as good as my cousin's, I can make you
a mistress."
"Mrs. Reed, no matter what, you represent the face of the Jones family. Don't go too far in your words." Jane's face was cold, and she turned her head to the other side, intending to leave. Behind Susie, Larry stretched out his hand and stopped her.
"What are you going to do?" Larry still hated what happened last time. Ever since Susie had made him a cuckold, her temper had gotten worse and worse. He was still worried that he had nowhere to vent his anger. If it wasn't for Jane that day, he wouldn't have been
ve
humiliated like that. When he saw Jane, he couldn't hold back his anger. "Jane, we're old friends after all. Now that Susie has just been pregnant for a month, there are a lot of things that are inconvenient for her to do. Since Jeffery doesn't want you anymore, why don't you make a price? When Susie is pregnant, you'll come and accompany me..."
"Pa!"
Before Larry could finish speaking, Jane gave him a hard slap in the face. "Larry, it's one thing if you and your wife are shameless, but don't talk about me. Don't think I don't know about the classmate meeting. If you want me to be your mistress, it's better to first think about who the child is!"
Jane's words were like pouring oil on the wound with salt. Susie was so angry that her whole body trembled and her face turned pale. In fact, after such a long time and such a coincidence pregnancy, she was not sure who the child was.
As for Larry, she hadn't thought about this question before. Now that Jane had reminded her, his entire body's state wasn't particularly good. Although the chances of success were very small, who could be sure that they wouldn't become one in ten thousand?
"You b*tch, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Susie was so mad that she rushed over and gave Jane a hard push. Then she was about to tear Jane's hair apart.
Jane was pushed back and lost her balance. She had thought that she would fall down, but was held back by someone. Jeffery put Jane behind her and said, "Cousin, what are you doing? If you are caught by reporters at the company's entrance, how can you explain to them when you got home? We don't want the face of our Jones family anymore."
"You still want to protect this b*tch. Do you know that she framed me and my brother-in-law and tried to seduce my cousin? I really don't understand why my cousin kept such a slutty woman. But now it's all right. Sarah is back. I don't think she has the face to stay in the company."
Susie looked ugly when she was baring her fangs and waving her claws. Jane was stabbed hard in the heart by Sarah's questions in the morning. After a long time of grievances, it broke out.
"Whether I stay in the company or not, it's none of Sarah's business. Even if she appears, so what? If you don't like me, you can go to Mr. Jones and ask him to dismiss me. As long as he agrees, I will leave immediately!"
Jane almost roared and turned to leave. Jeffery glared at Susie and turned to run to catch up with Jane. "Are you all right? My cousin is like that. Don't take it to heart."
"Thank you, Joel, I'm fine." Jane wiped her tears carelessly. If she didn't leave now, she was afraid that she couldn't hold her tears and would cry out in front of those two annoying people, making them happy and think that she was really easy to bully.00
