After Being Cheating novel Chapter 174

Shirley seemed to see through his confusion and said, "I will share my bed with Janet. When we were in dormitory, we often slept together in one bed."

"Let her live with you temporarily. I will find you an apartment tomorrow, " Daniel took Janet in his arms and went toward the bedroom.

Shirley hurriedly opened the door of her bedroom for Daniel and watched him slowly put Janet down on the bed.

Daniel was very gentle and careful, as if he was afraid of breaking the girl. It was totally different from his usual cold manner.

Daniel took off Janet's shoes and covered her gently with a thin blanket.

"If she is still sad tomorrow, don't go to work. Keep her company, "

He hadn't turned his back on Janet. All this time he rested his eyes on the sleeping woman.

Shirley pulled on her clothes and took a deep breath, "Boss Si, I can be with her and comfort her, but it is you who hurt her. You better come see her when you are free."

Her words made sense, so without much thinking, Daniel nodded, "Okay, I will."

He kissed Janet on the forehead and then left Shirley's apartment.

Daniel got back in the car and called Samuel, "Father*, I have found Jane."

"Where is she?" Samuel, who was worrying about Janet, quickly stood up from the sofa.

Daniel glanced at the third floor where Shirley lived, "She is with her friend, Shirley. I have already come and seen her. She has just gone to the bed."

"Is Jane okay? Is she all right?"

"She... is not in a good mood, but everything is okay." He would come again tomorrow. No matter what she thought, he would still explain everything to her.

He was so stupid to fall into a trap and let such thing happen. However, he didn't mean to do that. He really hoped that she could forgive him...

"Daniel! You... Never mind! I will see her tomorrow." Samuel wanted to get angry at Daniel. But things had already happened. It was no use being angry.

It was good that Jane was safe. Everyone could finally sleep peacefully.

On this night, everyone had different thoughts.

Daniel didn't sleep. Instead, he smoked in his office and carefully planned on destroying Poe.

Early next morning

When Shirley woke up, Janet had been awake.

"Janet, why don't you sleep some more?"

"How am I in the bedroom?" Janet ignored Shirley's question and asked.

Shirley rubbed her eyes to conceal her emotion, "I took you here. I was exhausted at how heavy you are!"

Janet seemed to believe her and asked no more questions.

"You can continue to sleep. I will go and buy breakfast for you." It was too late to make breakfast, so Shirley threw back the quilt and got out of the bed.

Janet looked at Shirley's back and absently asked, "Shirley, when did you buy such a sexy nightgown?"

With her back toward Janet, Shirley froze for an instant, "When I and Walter... were engaged, one of my high school classmates gave it to me."

Mentioning her past, Shirley was indifferent.

"Sorry, Shirley. I didn't know..." Janet felt guilty and apologized. She didn't mean to remind Shirley of Walter.

Shirley turned back and smiled carelessly, "It's all right. You can sleep some more. I'll go buy breakfast for us."

Janet sat up in bed, "No, I should go home now. I haven't gone home for two nights. Mommy and Daddy must be angry with me."

Hearing that she was leaving, Shirley quickly came to her, "Janet, if you go home now, aren't you afraid of seeing... him?"

Janet certainly knew who "him" was.

She hesitated because she really didn't want to see Daniel. If she went home now, Daniel might go to her home to find her. Of course, this was just a possibility. What if Daniel completely didn't care about her at all?

"Well, okay, I will wait for you here. You should quickly clean up. Don't be late for work, " Janet went to the living room, found her bag, and took out her phone.

When she switched on her phone, she saw hundreds of missed calls.

Jerry was calling. Janet pressed the answer key, "Jerry."

She was mad at her brother too. Her brother still spoke for Daniel at that moment.

She heard the urgency in Jerry's voice, "Jane, where are you? We were so worried about you! Are you okay?"

Hearing his unconcealed concern, Janet's annoyance with Jerry disappeared.

"Jerry, I'm okay. I'm fine. I will go home in two days."

"Okay, can I help you?" Jerry had a general idea of what happened. Since Daniel was wrong, he'd better not pressure his sister.

Janet shook her head, "No, I will be back soon."

"Well, okay. Call me if you have any problems. Never lose contact with us. Great-grandmother worried about you all day yesterday."

Janet felt guilty. She did whatever she liked yesterday, but her whole family worried about her, "I'll call great-grandmother later."

"Okay, bye."

After ending the call, Janet called Melody. Melody felt relieved to hear that Janet was all right.

Before hanging up, she said, "Janet, if you meet with any difficulties, come to me. I will always support you. Never go rogue again, okay? If you get hurt, what would I do?"

Janet cried, "Okay. I understand. Great-grandmother, I'm so sorry to make you worry."

"Well, good girl. I hope everything is all right with you, " Melody smiled kindly, as if she had seen the face of little playful Janet.

Janet called everyone, who had called her, including Brian.

But she didn't call Daniel back. She just ignored his call.

When Janet was making calls, Shirley gave her breakfast and went to work.

When Shirley arrived on the floor of the CEO's office, Spark told her, "Our CEO asked you to come to his office upon your arrival."

"Okay. Thank you, Spark." Shirley concealed her happiness. She put her belongings on her table and went into the CEO's office.

Inside the office, Daniel was on a call and gestured her to wait, "... You must find Ivanka. Wherever Poe hid her, you must find her for me... Check the transportation stations. Once you find any trace of her, report to me immediately!"

Daniel's voice was so cold that Shirley got intimidated.

Standing by the window, Daniel casually put one of his hands in his trouser pocket. His side profile was cold, yet handsome. Shirley couldn't keep her eyes off him.

"Well. That's all."

When he hung up, Shirley came back to her senses and immediately looked away.

"How is she doing?"

She guessed right. At this time, Daniel came to her for the most obvious reason.
