After Being Cheating novel Chapter 207

Caspar Qiao called for the bill, and then they walked out of the private room.

As they passed by the room next to theirs, the door opened, and a server came out. He courteously said, "After you, Mr. Si and Miss Zheng."

Janet Shao paused. She looked back and saw Daniel Si and Shirley Zheng stepping out of the room.

She didn't stop walking. Instead, she took Caspar by the arm and whispered, "Let's go, Caspar." Her sudden change in behavior bewildered Caspar.

He turned and saw the couple from his peripheral vision. And then he immediately understood.

The server went on talking to Daniel and Shirley, but Daniel's eyes were focused on the backs of the man and the woman in front of him.

In the parking lot

Caspar opened the passenger door for Janet. When she was about to get in, she saw Daniel and Shirley walk out of the hotel together.

Daniel was wearing a gray suit and a black tie, seeming indifferent and extravagant, while Shirley was in a luxurious white dress. Her burgundy curls draped over her shoulders.

Janet guessed that her dress must be from Daniel.

Looking away, she forced herself to smile to disguise her annoyance.

As they drove away, Daniel saw her in the passenger seat. She was looking at Caspar with a sweet smile on her face...

When Janet got home, there was no one there, So she took out her phone to browse the internet.

In the afternoon, she received a phone call from Ella Bo. "Mom, " she said.

"Where are you, Janet?"

"I'm home." Janet was cozy in bed, looking out the window.

She suddenly remembered how three years ago Daniel climbed into the room through the window to see her…

She was reminiscing the whole time, so she did not hear a word of what Ella said.

She wasn't responding until Ella called her name the third time, "Oh, Mom, what did you say?"

… Ella repeated with a sigh, "Today is the mayor's wife's birthday, but I'm occupied at the moment. I need you to run an errand for me. Please go buy a gift for her and then take it to the birthday party."

What? Honestly, Janet had no interests in attending such occasions. She knew that places with a lot of women were not her cup of tea.

Besides, she was already a stranger to C Country after three long years of staying in Z Country.

"Mom, can I refuse?"

"No!" Ella rejected firmly.

The new mayor had been transferred from D City two years ago. He used to be Samuel Shao's client. They became good friends and still maintained in frequent contact with each other. Alina Xi, the mayoress, was also nice to Ella. But Ella's real intention was to give her daughter a chance to socialize.

She had called Alina and asked her to introduce Janet to a few friends during the party.

Janet sighed. Never mind. She would go. Her mother didn't like those types of gatherings, either. Since she had insisted, the person should have been someone important to her.

"Okay, Mom, I'll go!"

"Remember to get a new dress in your uncle's store, and dress up nicely tonight."

Janet rolled her eyes, "Mom, is this a blind date or something?"

Ella smiled, raising her eyebrows, and said, "If you wish. It's indeed important that you settle down soon."
