After Being Cheating novel Chapter 29

Brian nodded, and said, "She was, indeed, pretty."

"She's nice, and she's loyal to friends, and radiates with kindness and generosity. She is all that's good and kind in my heart, " said Bill.

...

Of course, beauty lied in the eye of the beholder, and in our case, in the eyes of the lover. Brian nodded and agreed with him, "OK."

But Bill's face suddenly changed, and he asked, "Brian, do you also like Jane?"

"Well, I don't dislike her, " replied Brian. A soldier never lied.

Bill felt disappointed and stared at Brian with even more confusion in his eyes. He then spoke, "I should have never asked you to help me send the letter. How could you fall in love with my girl?"

"Anyway, she isn't your girlfriend. How can you say that, " said Brian.

Bill was speechless after he heard Brian's words.

'Is 'Jane' her infant name? It quite fits her because her voice and body are as soft and delicate as her name...'

Brian suddenly turned his back and walked away before Bill had finished talking with him.

Bill got even more confused, and wondered what had happened to him. Maybe only Brian knew best about what was going on with him.

At the SL Group

When Daniel returned to the Secretary Department, coming from the meeting room for the third time already, he found that Janet was still not at her desk.

"Spark, please inform Miss Shao that her three days' salary will be deducted from her account if she is absent for one full day."

"Ok. Mr. Si."

Janet, who was sitting by the roadside and staring at the skyscraper buildings, received Spark's call. Spark told Janet all about what Daniel had just said.

"Only the three days' salary... Yeah, whatever!" replied Janet.

She still had no concept of money, and replied with indifference to Spark's warning.

Spark hung up and felt very disappointed. 'She is, indeed, a spoiled princess, and doesn't seem to have a care in the world regarding money problems' thought Spark.

He told Daniel what she had said over the phone and then quickly left his office, as he saw that Daniel didn't utter a single word in reply.

Because she didn't find a suitable shop for her, Janet still had to go to work. However, she was now was very excited and full of grand new expectations, because tomorrow was her pay day. After all, the job at the SL Group was the first she ever had in her life.

And after getting her salary, she was going to buy her father a... A tie? A wallet? A suit?

She also wanted to buy her mother a set of DQ masks and her brother a watch. She wanted to buy her great-grandmother a...

Janet carefully drew a plan in her head, with a pleasurable feeling in mind. She decided to go shopping the moment she got her salary.

But... At lunch, while Janet looked at the text message she received from the bank about her salary, she lost her appetite.

"Dear SL Bank customer, your debit card with the tail number of 6688 has received an SL Group salary. The total amount is 5 dollars. The current available balance is 3, 000, 030 dollars."

...

'Ah! How could Daniel be so mean?' she thought, 'How dare he cut so much out of my salary!'

Janet was very angry and rushed straight into Daniel's office. Daniel, who was also having lunch, saw the angry expression gleaming in Janet's eyes and immediately understood what was going on.

When he put her salary sheet and the pile of reprimands in front of her on the desk, Janet checked them with disbelief.

She felt there seemed to be nothing wrong with her salary, and still tried to calculate her salary with her phone's calculator. It was, indeed, 5 dollars after the amount out of the reprimand notes was deducted...

When he saw Janet leaving his office, Daniel somehow felt a little sad.

When Janet discreetly left the company after work that night, she could hear her colleagues, who were walking behind her, laughing at her: "Do you know Janet's salary for the last month? Ha Ha... It's so funny!"
