Chapter 23 What Did You Do Yesterday


    With a guilty conscience at hand, J covertly opened the vi''s door, gazed around a little, and then


    ran upstairs after she saw that there was nobody present in the living room.


    "Jane." Samuel''s voice was suddenly hearding from downstairs.


    J jumped with panic and answered aloud, "Yes!" Samuel was quite taken aback by her noisy reply.


    He abandoned his breakfast on the table and looked at Jane''s figure in disbelief.


    If Jerry hadn''t called himst evening, and told him that Jane was in his apartment, he would have


    believed that Jane must have been up to no good!


    "Honey, what''s happening with you?" Samuel was walking to the staircase and was just about to ask


    E to get up for breakfast when he first heard Jane.


    However, J ran away in an instant, just like a frightened bird.


    ...


    ''There must be something wrong'' thought Samuel. He followed J up to the second floor


    suspiciously. When he arrived in front of J''s door, she had bolted it.


    Samuel had even heard that J locked the door. J''s strange movements raised Samuel''s strong


    sense of curiosity.


    "Tok tok tok." Samuel knocked at the door.


    "Dad, I''m changing my clothes. Leave me alone!" J felt guilty. She couldn''t let Samuel know that


    she and Daniel... had slept togetherst night.


    "Jane, please tell dad, what''s the matter with youtely?" J''s odd behavior worried Samuel a lot.


    She took a deep breath, calmed down, and opened the door. J stretched out her head out and


    smiled at Samuel: "Dad, I''m OK. I''m justte for work."


    But wait! Samuel suddenly saw a suspicious red mark on Jane''s neck. And as a person with


    experience, Samuel immediately knew what it was!


    "J Shao, what did you do yesterday?"


    Samuel''s face suddenly turned serious, which frightened J: "No... nothing, I just... just had a good


    night''s sleep."


    Hearing her stumbling words and seeing her dodging look, Samuel knew she was definitely lying!


    "Where did you sleepst night?" Samuel now pushed the door open, and J was suddenly


    exposed to Samuel''s eyespletely, which made her quite uneasy.


    Where did she sleepst night? She remembered she was with Sally and Svenst night. "At Sally''s


    home!"


    Samuel pped heavy on the door and looked at J with a searching nce: "J Shao, tell me


    the truth. What did you dost night?"


    How dared Jerry and J lie to him together! If he found out that something had happened with Jane


    J''s heart skipped a beat. Holy crap! She told herself she wouldn''t drink anymore.


    "Dad, I''mte for work. I''m going to work with Daniel today, but if I won''t leave right away..."


    "You were with Daniel Sist night!" Samuel didn''t believe a word out of J''s story. After he said


    these words, he carefully watched how she would react to them.


    Em... J''s eyes dodged his. ''How did dad know? Damn! How should I tell him?''


    "Dad, don''t be angry! I was with Daniel Sist night, but we did nothing wrong. I was drunk and slept all


    night!"

    He trusted her when she said she had spent the night at Daniel''s, but didn''t trust the rest of her story.


    Samuel looked at the red mark on her neck again and took a deep breath, "Tell Daniel Si, to wait and


    see!"


    After he uttered these final words, Samuel returned to his bedroom.


    J now wondered what they meant. ''Wait and see? What would dad do to Daniel?''


    After J washed her face and rinsed her mouth, she changed her clothes. When she was going


    downstairs, E stared at her with a strange look in her eyes.


    "Mom, why are you looking at me like that?" J stayed as far away as she could from the table,


    fearful that L might try to educate her.


    L looked at her from head to tow, and believed Samuel''s words. ''Jane was, indeed, odd!''


    "Nothing. Come here and have breakfast with me!"


    E invited her with her usual voice, but J shook her head immediately and said: "Mom, I''mte for


    work. Bye!"


    Then she swiftly ran towards the door of the vi, opened the door and rushed out.


    After she ran almost half a kilometer, J stopped, gasping for air.


    ''Damn it!'' Nothing had happened between Daniel and her! But why was she feeling so guilty?


    After she calmed herself, J came to be aware of another bleak matter: she had run out of the


    house instead of driving a car.


    Her car was parked at thepany, and now she could only go back and drive one dad''s or mom''s


    cars. But she didn''t want to. ''Forget it!'' she thought.


    However, J suddenly saw a ck Bentley nearing her.


    J was surprised and jumped in the middle of the road. The sharp squeaking of the car''s sudden


    brake scared most of the birds in the woods nearby, and Daniel''s forehead hit the front seat.


    The Bentley was now pulled a little over one meter away from J.


    Daniel stared at J with a murderous look in his eyes.


    Spark was still suffering from the shock and was gasping for air. ''God! I almost hit someone!'' he


    thought.


    J ignored the shock she gave them and knocked at the window of the front-passenger''s seat.


    Spark pressed a button and the door opened.


    J got into the car and spoke to Daniel: "My car is at thepany. Can I hitch a ride?"


    She was taken advantage ofst night, and Daniel certainly wouldn''t refuse such a small request!


    But J was wrong;pletely wrong.


    Daniel got out the car, opened the front-passenger''s door and pulled J out of the car. Then he got


    back in the car and simply left.


    J looked at the disappearing Bentley in bewilderment. ''What a mean man! I have to stop talking to


    Daniel Si!


    Ah ah ah!'' J was frustrated, and walked towards the gates of the residential quarter. In the end,


    she finally took a taxi after she got a blister in her foot.


    In the SL Group.


    When J arrived at thepany, Spark had already been working for twenty minutes. He looked at


    the frustrated girl, and said: "Miss Shao... You arete today. Your full attendance award and today''s


    sry will be deducted from your monthly wage."


    Actually, only the full attendance award was deducted if someone happened to bete. As for the daily


    sry... Daniel had asked him to do it.


    J bit her lower lip. She waste because of Daniel Si!


    "Daniel Si iste too. Is his sry deducted?" asked Jane.


    She clearly remembered that she woke up earlier than Daniel did, and that Daniel must bete for work


    too. His sry should also be deducted.


    Spark cleared his throat and the other secretaries startedughing. J was confused, "What


    happened?"


    "The boss is free of penalties. Even if he doesn''te to thepany at all, his sry can''t be


    deducted."


    J nodded her head and spoke with indifference in her voice: "That''s it! Do as you like then."


    To be honest, she didn''t really know her monthly sry yet, and she never asked about it either.


    But this wasn''t important. Her final goal was not working at the SL Group. She worked here to loosen


    up her mom, so that one day she would invest money into her bakery shop.
