He had said in advance that he had something to do in the company and had to leave.

Janice walked to the wardrobe and took out one of her overalls to change into before walking downstairs.

When she walked downstairs, she found that Nino was lying in front of the kennel, looking listless.

<That’s weird. Usually, it would wag its tail and surround me whenever I went out.

What’s wrong today?> She walked over in confusion.

"Nino, what’s wrong?"

Janice reached out with her hand. She originally wanted to stroke its head, but she didn’t expect that she would be frightened by the scalding heat.

She quickly went to get the thermometer.

After getting the temperature, she realized that Nino had a fever.

<What should I do? I had to take it to see a doctor as soon as possible.>

When she thought of this, Janice glanced at the time. There was still some time before she had to go to work. She paused for a moment and decided to take Nino to the hospital first.

She drove to the pet hospital.

The doctor said that it had caught a cold and prescribed medicine for it, telling her to take good care of the cute dog.

Janice walked out of the hospital with the medicine in one hand and Nino in the other.

"Nino, stay here. I will carry you after I get the car keys."

As Janice spoke, she put Nino aside. Unexpectedly, when she opened the door with the car keys, Nino was nowhere to be found.

She was stunned and quickly looked around.

"Nino..."

Janice searched around, but couldn’t find any traces of Nino. She became worried.

Moreover, it was almost time to go to work. It was the first time that she could go out to work, so she didn’t want to miss it.

She paused and quickly called Christopher.

"Hello?"

Christopher answered.

"Christopher, Nino... " Before she could finish her words, she saw a woman with long hair standing on the opposite side of the road, and that woman holding Nino in her arms.

When Janice saw Nino, she was so delighted. She ignored Christopher, and said, "It’s fine now."

She quickly hung up the phone and walked across the road.

Christopher listened to the beeping sound on the phone, frowned, and put the phone away.

Rob walked in.

"Mr. Bateman, Miss Kelshore just called and said that the chairman has booked a table in the hotel and wants you to come over tonight."

Christopher looked over.

"Did she say what happened?"

"It’s said to be... a welcome dinner for Sophie."

After saying that, Rob shrank his neck and carefully looked at Christopher.

Christopher did not agree, but just said lightly.

"Got it."

Rob relaxed. He breathed a sigh of relief and turned to go out.

However, he did not know that after he went out, Chriatopher’s hands slowly clenched into a fist.

Janice walked across the road and stopped in front of the woman.

"Hello."

The woman whose eyes were bright like the moon turned around and looked at Janice after hearing her greet.

"Hello."

Janice was stunned by the woman’s beauty. She was so beautiful!

She wore a white dress and her long hair fluttered. In particular, when she smiled, her eyes curved like a crescent moon, bright and beautiful.

It gave off an otherworldly feeling.

Even as a woman, she couldn’t help exclaiming.

"This..." Janice’s gaze fell onto Nino.

The woman seemed to understand what she meant. "Your dog?"

Janice nodded.

"When I took the car key just now, it ran away and disappeared."

Hearing this, the woman smiled and stroked the dog’s fur with her hand, which was so beautiful. "When I got out of the car, I saw it running around on the road. I was afraid that it would be dangerous, so I picked it up."

...

Hearing her words, Janice had such an attack of panic. At the same time, she felt a sense of gratitude towards her.

She said, "Thank you so much."

"You’re welcome."

The woman gently put Nino in her arms.

"Once a dog is lost, it would be difficult for it to find a way back. You must take care of it."

Janice nodded and thanked the woman again. Then she walked towards the other side of the road.

The woman stood there and waited until Janice disappeared. Then she left with a smile.

Janice put Nino inside the car and fastened her seat belt, only to see her leaning against the window and looking out. She also followed her gaze and saw the woman walking toward the pet hospital.

Janice seemed to understand something so that she said, "Nino, you also like pretty girls, right?"

Then she took Nino to the TV station. Later she had to go out for an interview, so it would be inconvenient for her to take Nino with her.

Therefore, she entrusted Nino to the entrance guard.

The guard was fond of small animals, so when he saw Nino, he was particularly happy.

When Janice saw that Nino was obedient with the guard, she was relieved and went to work.

Her new program was about gourmet food.

She needed to go to the gourmet food street and visit some local specialties.

After a busy morning, she finally finished her work and returned to the garage near the gourmet street to pick up her car.

In the parking lot, she bumped into her father, Malcolm.

"Janice?"

The moment Malcolm got out of the car, he saw Janice walking towards him.

Janice was also surprised when she saw him. It had been three months since they last met.

If they had not met here, she would have almost forgotten that there was such a person.

As she was in a daze, Malcolm had already reached her.

"Janice, why don’t you come home after such a long time? I’ve missed you so much."

Janice felt nothing but irony.

She wondered if he had really thought of her.

She said, "I’ve been busy recently."

Malcolm looked at his watch and said, "It’s time for lunch. Since we’ve met, let’s eat together."

Janice originally wanted to say no.

However, at this time, her colleagues walked over and looked at the two.

Janice didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings, so she nodded in agreement.

In the restaurant, Malcolm ordered enthusiastically.

"I remember that when you were a child, you liked to eat sweet and sour pork with pineapple the most. Every time I took you to the restaurant, you ordered this."

Upon hearing Malcolm’s jabbering, Janice felt quite ironic.

That he still remembered what she liked to eat when she was a child really surprised her.

She said, "There’s no need. I’m not picky about food. You just order what you like."

However, Malcolm said, "It’s rare for you and me to have a meal alone, so we should order something you like."

As he spoke, he handed the menu to the waiter and ordered several dishes that Janice liked.

After the waiter left, Malcolm looked at Janice and said, "I have heard that your show is very popular recently. I’m really proud of you."

Janice was surprised by her father’s words.

After all, he didn’t approve of her decision to study in the media department in the beginning.

He even threatened her that if she insisted on her decision, he wouldn’t pay her tuition.

At that time, she was in a period of rebelling. Although she was threatened, she gritted her teeth and held on.

...

However, she had to work hard for two whole months to earn her tuition.

Janice returned to her senses and looked at her father who kept flattering her.

She felt suffocated.

"If you have anything to say, just say it," she interrupted.

Malcolm didn’t expect that his daughter would see through him so easily, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Janice said straightforwardly, "Am I wrong? I don’t think that you would just flatter me. What’s your real purpose? I’m tight on time. If you have something to say, just say it."

Only then did Malcolm say, "Here is the thing: Vanessa is about to graduate. Can you ask Christopher to let Vanessa work at his company as an intern?"

Janice was not surprised when she heard this.

She knew that her father would not praise her for no reason. So it was because of Vanessa.

She said, "Dad, Vanessa majors in finance but Christopher’s company is a technological company. I don’t think she is suitable."

Malcolm replied, "Although her major isn’t relevant, Vanessa is smart, and she can learn in a short time."

"Well, in that case, you should let her work in Gladwell Group to help you," Janice said.

Malcolm was speechless. "The Gladwell Group is too small. It’s a waste of Vanessa’s talent to stay there."

Janice sneered, "You know that she is just a graduate student. She would learn more in a small company."

"Janice, I know you are still blaming us, but she is your sister, can you give her an opportunity? I don’t count on her too much. I just hope that she can marry into a good family like you."

Hearing her father’s words, Janice only felt that it was ironic. <Marry into a good family like me?

But doesn’t he remember why I got married?>

"Stop, please. I won’t tell Christopher." She knew that it was useless to talk more, so she simply refused.

Seeing that she refused, Malcolm did not push her and changed the topic.

"All right, I see. By the way, you’ve been married for so long. When shall we see Christopher’s parents?"

Upon hearing these words, Janice froze on the spot.

She was not even in the mood to be perfunctory. She got up and said, "I still have work to do, so I’m leaving."

She walked towards the door.

"Janice, his parents..."

Malcolm’s voice came from behind. Janice didn’t stop.

It was not until she got into the car that she sadly closed her eyes.

<It seems that the more one tries to ignore something, the more likely it will be mentioned.

Perhaps the god of destiny loves making fools of people.>

After work that night, Janice picked up Nino from the guard.

When she returned to the villa, Christopher was already at home.

She confusedly asked, "Why are you back so early today?"

Christopher didn’t answer her. His eyes fell on Nino in her arms, then he asked, "Did you take Nino to work?"

Janice responded, "Yes, this morning, I found that she was sick, so I took her to the hospital."

"What did the vet say?" asked Christopher.

Putting Nino in the kennel, Janice stood up and said, "She said that Nino caught a cold and prescribed some medication. I have to bring her back for another examination in two days."

Hearing this, Christopher nodded.

"What do you want for dinner?" he asked.

Janice replied, "Whatever. I still have work to do."

Christopher frowned when he heard her words. Before he could say anything, his phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at it and immediately hung up coldly.

Janice was putting the medicine into Nino’s food without noticing his actions. Later she stood up and said, "I’ll go to the study room first."

"Janice... "
