Trapped with Daniel

Janet put her phone aside and began to print the documents according to Daniel's instruction.

After about half an hour, Janet sent the printed documents back to Daniel's office and spoke to him: "Mr. Si, these are all the documents you requested."

Daniel, who was checking his emails, didn't utter a word and just stared at his computer screen, absorbed in his current task.

'Does he think he's superior to others just because he's the company's CEO? How dare he ignores me?' thought Jane. Janet curled her lips and turned around to leave his office.

While Daniel asked her to stop, Janet just kept walking towards the door and replied with her back turned to him, "It's break time, Mr. Si." After she slammed his office door, she cleared up her office table and went out to have lunch.

In the afternoon, Janet received a reprimand note, which read: 'Due to the defiant behavior of not obeying the superior and speaking rudely to him, Janet Shao, from the secretary division, is punished to a fine of $500. Let this serve as a future warning for all others.'

...

Having not a care on the world for money, Janet didn't care about $500 whatsoever. This was just another act of hate on behalf of Daniel.

She crumpled up the reprimand, but then unfolded it to sign her name.

In the evening, after work

Janet was the first employee to run out of the company when work ended. 'Why did mother make such a tight time schedule? I finished work at six, and now I have to rush to the hotel to get in time for dinner.'

It was rush hour at that time, and it was very possible that she might hit a traffic jam, so Janet picked up the pace to arrive in time for her meeting.

At 6:50, Janet parked her car in front of the hotel's gate and walked towards the 601 private room, according to Ella's instructions.

The waitress took her to room 601. She opened the door and spoke: "Father and mother, why did you want to go out for dinner today, it's..." Janet stopped talking when she saw that there were other people inside.

"Jane, please, come and sit here, " said Ella. She stood up from her chair and drew Janet to sit beside her.

While Janet stared at Daniel, who was sitting opposite to her in silence, she thought to herself: 'Daniel was still at his office when I left the company; how did he arrive earlier than me?

And why are all these other people here?'

Janet tried to put her bad feelings aside, and said, "Father and mother*, I'm late. I apologize I kept you waiting for so long."

(*TN: Here Father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

"That's alright. You aren't late, because we also just arrived earlier." Lola comforted Jane and caressed the back of her hand.

When she saw that Jane was wearing the ear studs she gave her, Lola became even more happier.

"Jane, how's your work going at Daniel's company?" asked Nicole. Nicole was 29 years old now and worked for the SL Group abroad. When she learned that Jerry and Sally were going to get married soon, she found the time to return back home for a short while and to attend their wedding.

Janet briefly smiled at her, and said, "Nicole, father and mother* take good care of me and I'm doing very well there, thank you."

(*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

When he heard what she said, Daniel slightly raised his eyebrow.

He thought to himself that he also took good care of her at the SL Group. Especially when he wrote her the punishment note and didn't blink for a second when he signed it.

Samuel and Ella looked relieved at their daughter. And they also felt relieved, and believed that their daughter won't get bullied anymore since Lola took good care of her.

"Nicole, how long do you plan to stay at home this time?" asked Janet. She rarely met with Nicole, but she really liked and enjoyed her company, because she was a well educated lady.

She could see in Nicole certain types of etiquette not yet practiced by her, and so she always took Nicole as being a model example.

Nicole put down the glass of juice in her hand, and said, "I'll be back at work after Jerry and Sally's wedding."

Sally, who was just mentioned by Nicole, glanced at Jerry for a moment. 'Why am I going to marry that stubborn lawyer?' she thought.

The two families got well together, and fixed a date for Jerry and Sally's wedding ceremony in good spirits.

Sally, with purse lips, ask

The Mighty Soldier King is back!

With the original intention to protect his beautiful boss, he accidentally gets involved in dangerous adventures and trouble.

Will our Mighty Soldier King be defeated? Or will he sweep away all obstacles?

ed Harry, "Father, do I have the right to protest against it?"

But before Harry even had the chance to say a word, Jerry quickly held her hand, and said, "You can protest it, but you also have to think about our unborn child."

Sally suddenly blushed and then shouted at him, "Jerry, what are you talking about!"

Had she had any chance to get pregnant before? Well, once they indeed had unprotected sex, and both of them didn't think or take any protective measures to avoid a possible pregnancy.

"What if you get pregnant?" asked Jerry. He smiled and looked at Sally who now blushed.

Harry felt a little uneasy and, at the thought of the upcoming wedding, he severely said to her, "Sally, don't be silly!"

"Sally, I hope you'll have a baby soon, so that John can have someone to play with!" spoke Janet. Jerry approvingly glanced at her when he heard what she just said.

Sally felt even more frustrated now when she thought of little John at the old house, who was more than 20 years younger than her.

After they finished discussing Jerry and Sally's wedding plans, Harry spoke, "Daniel, Jane, we can also talk about your engagement tonight. What do you think?"

Janet suddenly got stunned when she heard these words, and replied, "Father and mother*, I won't be able to marry him, because Daniel already has a girlfriend!"

(*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

Samuel also knew that, so now he frowned uncomfortable, not saying a word.

"That's right. So there's no need to talk about the engagement at the moment." It was the first time Daniel agreed with Janet.

However, after she heard Daniel's refusal, Janet, somehow, now felt very sad.

"Nonsense! Daniel, you have already slept with Jane. How could you not take responsibility for her? How could you be so despicable, just as your father was in the past?" When Harry heard what Lola said, he pulled his wife's hand.

Daniel didn't want to account for it. Samuel, who had kept silent all this time, now finally began to speak, "We'd better not force Daniel and Jane to get married if they don't want to. From tomorrow on, Jane, you don't have to go to work at the SL Group anymore, and you can find a shop and do what you like."

However, their mothers got very anxious when they heard that. "Samuel, please take it easy now, don't rush to conclusions. I will not let Daniel be an irresponsible man, and he must be responsible for Jane!" said Lola. With this, Lola winked at her husband, asking him to figure out a solution to all of this.

"I agree with my father. Father and mother*, Daniel and I are not right for each other, so the wedding ceremony for Jerry and Sally will have to suffice!" Janet tried to smile, and added, "In fact, nothing happened between us that evening, so Daniel has no need to take any responsibility for me. Mother*, you also don't have to worry about us."

(*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

'Why do I feel so sad?' Janet pinched her leg, but she felt even more in pain, and not because of her now aching leg, but because of Daniel.

At last, they didn't talk anymore about Janet and Daniel's engagement. Lola felt very distressed!

Samuel and Ella left the hotel first because they had to pick up John on their way home. Jerry and Sally also left soon afterwards. Janet also thought that she had to leave, so she said, "Father and mother*, Nicole... Mr. Si, I have something else to do later, so I have to go now. Thank you."

(*TN: Here father and mother mean sworn father and sworn mother)

"That's all right, it's getting late anyway. Let's leave together." Lola stood up and then walked with Janet towards the private room's door.

Harry followed, carrying her bag in his hand. Nicole and Daniel also followed.

When she came out of the hotel, a sudden gust of wind made Janet instantly shiver. Lola helped Jane close the buttons of her coat, and affectionately looked at her, saying, "Jane, in fact, when you get to know him, Daniel is really a nice man. Perhaps you don't often meet each other and don't know enough about him right now. I won't force you to get married so soon. And as for your engagement, we can talk about it later. But will you please promise me that you will give Daniel a chance and not be intimate with other boys? You can play with them, of course, but would you please not make any of them your boyfriend?"
