.

She didn’t want to continue the conversation, So she said, "Director Taylor, I should get back to work."

Benjamin stood still while staring at her back, unable to hide the disappointment in his eyes.

When Janice returned to her office, the colleagues surrounded her.

"Janice, what did Director Taylor say?"

Looking at everyone’s expectant faces, Janice answered, "Director Taylor said that everyone can rest assured that the problem will be solved."

"That’s good."

All her colleagues breathed a sigh of relief and resumed their regular work.

After Janice returned to her seat, she could not calm down.

In the evening, when she returned home, Christopher hadn’t come back yet. She played with Nino for a while and went to take a shower.

When she came out of the bathroom, she found that there were two missed calls.

One was from Christopher, and the other was from Yvonne.

She called Christopher first, and the call was soon picked up.

"Janice, I have something to do tonight, so I’ll go back later. Remember to eat."

Janice said, "OK." After she hung up the phone, she called Yvonne.

"Janice, let’s have a drink tonight."

Since Christopher was not at home, she was so bored that she agreed.

She changed her clothes and went out.

In a chic restaurant, as soon as Christopher finished the call, Daniel said, "The environment here isn’t bad. Bring your wife with you next time."

When he thought of Janice, who was still keeping the household accounts, Christopher shook his head.

Daniel saw through his worries and blinked. "I’ll ask my friend to bring some coupons later. I’ll solve your problem, I promise."

Christopher thought that this was a good idea.

"By the way, James is back. I just called him and he’ll arrive soon." Daniel said.

Christopher was surprised. "Isn’t he in Europe?"

Daniel said, "His father took the other son home several days ago and handed his position to that son. James was called back by his mother."

Christopher more or less knew about the Taylors, so he didn’t ask anymore.

Soon, James Taylor came into the restaurant and joined them at the table.

"Haven’t seen you for a long time, bro. I’m back."

As soon as James sat down, he hurriedly raised his glass.

Christopher and Daniel also respectively raised their wine glass, and the three glasses clinked together.

James quickly ate something, and said, "In the future, when you guys have a party, you have to tell me. I am way too bored at home."

Daniel frowned. "Didn’t you just come back? Why are you so bored?"

James complained, "You don’t know my mother. She has been nagging me every day. If I stay at home, she will drive me crazy."

James complained while drinking.

Daniel and Christopher looked at each other.

"How are you going to deal with your family matters?" asked Daniel.

James sneered. "What else can I do? That bastard wants to share my property. No way."

"By the way, Chris, what are you busy with recently? Do you have any good projects to invest in?"

James turned to ask Christopher.

Only then did Christopher look up at him. "It’s about science and technology. You may not be interested."

"That’s hard to say. After I take over the TV station, you can invest in it."

"The TV station?"

Christopher frowned.

...

"Yes. I never take that TV station seriously, but I couldn’t stand it if it was given to that bastard. Wait and see. I won’t let him have anything."

Then James downed another glass of wine. As soon as he put down the glass, he saw a familiar figure downstairs.

He snorted, "Well, speak of the devil. I didn’t expect to meet him here. I can finally vent my anger today."

Daniel stopped James who was about to go downstairs.

"What are you doing?"

James said, "To get some sweet revenge, of course."

Hearing this, Daniel followed his gaze and saw a man in a suit entering with a woman in his arms.

"You mean... that’s the bastard you mentioned?" Daniel asked.

James gritted his teeth. "Yes."

Daniel frowned and said, "It’s the first day of business here. Do me a favor. Don’t ruin their reputation already."

James could only sit back and stare at the person downstairs angrily.

"He is still in the mood to pick up girls? Unbelievable."

James said with contempt.

Daniel frowned. "Look who is sitting opposite him."

"I don’t care," James said.

Daniel said, "Vivian Swift, whose father is the president of TM Group."

Hearing this, James was stunned, then he snorted, "It turns out that he wants to rely on women to get the position. A useless bastard."

Daniel and James chatted with each other, without noticing Christopher’s expression.

Christopher recognized that the man in question was Janice’s boss, Benjamin Taylor.

In the bar, as soon as Janice entered, she saw Yvonne sitting in the corner. She walked over and ordered a Tom Collins.

Yvonne complained, "Janice, there you are at last. I’m bored to death."

Janice frowned. "Aren’t you on duty today? Why are you drinking?"

Yvonne said, "I’ve changed shifts with someone else."

Janice’s eyes swept over the empty bottles. She frowned and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

"It’s my father. He asked me to go on a blind date. I don’t understand why I should go on a blind date. I’ve already got plenty of men interested in me!" Yvonne complained.

Janice couldn’t help laughing. Yes, Yvonne was attractive and successful. Her family was also wealthy. She didn’t need to go on a blind date.

Unlike Yvonne of course, Janice could only find her future husband through a blind date.

"What’s wrong with you?"

Yvonne found that Janice was a little sullen.

Then Janice sighed and said, "I’m not much better than you. Yvonne, I may lose my job."

Speaking of this, Janice was depressed. Although Benjamin had said that he would solve it, she knew that he was not well-connected here. It was easier said than done.

She didn’t want her colleagues to get depressed earlier so that she said the problem would be solved.

"What’s going on?"

Yvonne was surprised.

Then Janicel told her about the station’s financial problems.

Yvonne frowned. "What? Is Benjamin so useless? As soon as he took over, the TV station failed!"

...

"I don’t think so. He’s only been here for a short time. The problem must have happened before he came." Janice reckoned.

Yvonne agreed, "That’s true. However, I wouldn’t lose much sleep over it. With your experience and qualifications, you don’t have to worry about losing your job."

"Yes, but there must be some process to finding a new job. I have to support my family, so I can’t wait."

She sighed.

Yvonne frowned.

"Janice, things shouldn’t go like this. How can a man stay idle and let you support him every day?"

Yvonne complained. She had always wanted to say that.

Somehow, when Janice heard this, she felt uncomfortable. Although Yvonne was telling the truth, she just didn’t want to hear anyone speak ill of Christopher, even if that person was her best friend.

She said, "I don’t think it’s a big deal. The day when I married him, I already made up my mind."

Hearing this, Yvonne was a little speechless. However, she could not criticize too much.

In the evening, when Janice returned home, Christopher hadn’t returned yet. She frowned.

Why hadn’t he come back yet?

Janice hesitated for a moment and then called him, but no one answered. Thinking that it was still early, she went to the study to look for books. After a while, she realized that the books there were all about science and technology.

Janice was curious. "Why does he love this area so much?"

She casually flipped through a book and found that she could not understand any of it. When she was about to put it back on the bookshelf, she heard the sound of opening the door.

Janice knew that it was Christopher. When she walked out, she saw him removing his shoes at the door.

She stepped forward and said, "Welcome home."

Christopher was a little surprised when he saw Janice, then he nodded.

"You haven’t slept yet?"

Janice said, "I just got back myself."

She smelled alcohol coming from Christopher.

"Did you drink?"

Janice frowned.

Christopher nodded. "Yes, a little."

Then he took off his coat and walked to the bathroom.

Janice did not say anything else. Instead, she thought of what Yvonne had said earlier.

Although she did not agree, it did not mean that she didn’t care about it.

However, she didn’t want to insult his pride. She hoped that he could be aware of it by himself.

But what if he himself couldn’t be aware of the problem?

Janice followed him into the bathroom. Christopher was taking a shower, and his tall figure was reflected in the glass door.

Hearing the sound of running water, Janice felt a little nervous.

What should she say? She had said that she didn’t care whether he had a job or not.

She couldn’t say one thing and do another.

Moreover, they are not a real couple yet. What if...

Then Janice gave up.

"Forget it, I’d better not say it, otherwise, I will hurt his self-esteem."

Then she turned around and went out.

Christopher soon came out.

Janice stood up and looked over. Christopher was drying his wet hair and his upper body was still naked. He looked particularly sexy at that moment.

Even though it was not the first time she had seen him like this, Janice still blushed with shame.

She awkwardly looked away.

Her reaction was caught by Christopher. He slightly smiled and walked to sit down beside her, saying, "What are you looking at?"
