Chapter 72 How are You and Your Baby Doing
'OK, Spark is right. I have the support of sworn father and sworn mother, Daniel wouldn't dare to cheat
me!' Janet thought.
She then took out a pen and signed her name on it.
There was a flicker of satisfaction flashing in Spark's eyes because he could now finally ask for his
vacation when he returned to the company.
But when Spark was about to say something more, Janet's phone rang. "Hello, Shirley!" she answered.
"What? You're getting married? When's the wedding?"
"The day after tomorrow? Mhm. At your house?"
"Of course I'll come! Give me the address."
"Wait, what was that? Xiaxi Village, of Xiaxi Town? Better send me the full address on Wechat, my
navigation will take me there."
"Um, well, take care of your baby, I love you! See you then!"
Janet then put her phone back in her pocket and noticed that Spark was still there. "Anything else?"
she asked.
"Yes, there is one more contract from Mr. Si that needs to be signed. It's the contract for the one
thousand mousse cups that he discussed with you last time. Please sign here, and here, " Spark said.
Spark then put two A4 sized pieces in front of her.
'Why is signing contracts so troublesome?' thought Janet.
She still had to work on the desserts and had no time left to spare for Spark, so she quickly signed her
name on the sheets of paper.
Putting her copy of the contracts into her bag, she then continued to work on the desserts.
At the CEO Office of the SL Group
Looking at the two signed copies of the contracts, Daniel grinned a big smile, and said, "Job well done!"
Spark felt proud of himself, but actually he successfully fulfilled the task only because of Janet's simple
and innocent mind.
"Thank you, Mr. Si. About my vacation..." Spark said.
"I'll permit it, and I'll personally pay for all of your travel expenses, " Daniel said. Looking at Janet
Shao's scribbled signature, Daniel started to imagine that she was now engulfed by him, under the
protection of law.
"Oh! Thank you, Mr, Si!" When Spark was just about to leave the office, he remembered of Janet's
phone call, and wondered whether if he should tell him or not.
In the end, he decided that he'd better tell him, because his CEO was really, after all, in love with Janet.
"Mr. Si, Miss Shao will go to the Xiaxi Village of Xiaxi Town of Shenqing City the day after tomorrow, to
attend one of her former college classmate's wedding ceremony, " Spark said.
"OK, I see." Daniel lit a cigarette and didn't seem to care much about it.
Janet could go anywhere she wanted to, as long as she would eventually come back. And after all, it NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
was only her friend's wedding ceremony.
In Shenqing City
A red Mercedes Benz was being followed by a black BMW car behind. Janet carefully looked at the
car's navigation, 'Why is there no road ahead?' she thought, 'Well! Anyway! The bodyguards in the
BMW are coming in handy this time, ' she thought.
Putting on her pair of five-inch high heels, Janet got out of her car and went to knock at the BMW's
window.
"Miss Shao!"
"Hello, my navigation seems to have some problems. I need to go to... Xiaxi Village, but I can't find the
road!" She had driven for almost five hours, and hadn't seen anyone that she could ask for help in the
suburban districts of the small towns she passed through.
"Miss Shao, we'll use our navigation, Please follow our car!" one of the bodyguards said.
"OK, thank you, then you drive in front of me." Janet happily went back to her car, and a couple of
minutes later she slowly followed the BMW from behind.
When it was almost dusk, they finally reached the village's entrance, and Shirley Zheng and her mother
had been waiting for her there.
"Shirley! I've missed you so much!" Janet hugged Shirley tight.
"So did I! Janet, you've become even more beautiful since last time we met!" Shirley hold Janet's
hands and scanned her from top to bottom.
"Thank you, but I'm actually so busy nowadays that I rarely have any time left for facial treatments.
Shirley, how are you and your baby doing?" asked Janet. Janet carefully touched Shirley's belly and
thought that women really are miraculous creatures!
Shirley looked at her serious look and tittered, "We're doing well. Let me introduce you, this is my
mother. Mom, this is Janet, the pretty girl I've been talking about."
Shirley's mother was a typical village woman, with brown-tanned skin, wearing a green coat and casual
black trousers and black shoes.
She was kindly looking at Janet.
"Hello, Mrs. Zheng, it's nice to meet you! My name is Janet Shao, and I'm Shirley's best friend!"
Janet greeted Shirley's mother with a sweet smile on her face.
Shirley's mother, Fanny Mu, was excited to meet Janet, who was really lovely and graceful, and she
held Janet's hands, and said, "Good girl, I am so happy to meet you, too. Come, let's go home! Dinner
is ready!"
"Yes, let's go, " said Janet.
Janet asked a bodyguard to drive her car and she, along with Fanny and Shirley, walked along the
rugged countryside road together.
There were a few people on the road at this time of the day because it was supper time.
And there weren't even lampposts in such a remote village.
However, from time to time, they met a few passers-by, and they all scanned Janet curiously because
she looked so different from the other people here.
"Janet, are they your bodyguards?" asked Shirley. She took a look at the two cars behind and guessed
that they must be her bodyguards.
Janet was born in a famous and wealthy family, and she had an affluent father and brother. When they
were in college in America, Shirley could always see some bodyguards going around Janet to protect
her just in case anything happened.
"Yes, that's right. Although I'm already a grown-up now, my father still is worried about me and has
arranged for these men to follow me everyday! Oh, it's so awful!" Complained Janet in a low voice.
Shirley smiled and patted her hand, "You were born in a wealthy family, and your father does all of that
for your own good, in case something dangerous, God forbid, happens one day. They take good care
of you and ensure your everyday safety, so don't complain about it."
Janet was well aware of her father's worries and of course she couldn't complain, and so she nodded
to her, and said, "But, aren't they troublesome for you? At the dinner, or when we go to sleep. I forgot to
to tell you all about them."
"It doesn't matter. My uncle and aunt's house is just next to ours, and they're never at home; my
grandfather has the keys. If your bodyguards don't mind, yo can just let them sleep there, " said Shirley.
Shirley actually admired Janet very much, and although Janet didn't have the best of grades in school,
she still was spoiled by so many people.
But unlike Janet, if Shirley had done bad in her studies, her family would have been quite unhappy with
her.
Her family had sacrificed everything to send her to study abroad.
"That's OK, there's a place for them to rest, " Janet said. The countryside road was so difficult to walk
on that she nearly sprained her ankle.
Luckily, Shirley held her in time, "Janet, are you OK?"
"I'm OK, it doesn't hurt!" said Janet smiling. She had been kickboxing from her childhood, so she wasn't
that feeble.
Fanny Mu was very fond of this kind girl, even though she was born in a wealthy family. On arriving at
their house, she shouted, "Clay! Come out now, your daughter's friend has arrived!"
Janet's hands were still held by Fanny, and she instructed the bodyguards to take out the things out of
her car trunk.
Then, some people came out of the house, and besides Shirley's father, Clay Zheng, there were also
some of her aunts. On hearing her name, they all came out to meet Janet.
