He narrowed his eyes coldly and said a few words to a waiter passing by.
The waiter knew that he was an honored guest of the boss, so he didn't dare to ignore him and went over to give instructions to the waiters surrounding Janice. They immediately gave way and returned the phone to her.
After Janice got the phone, she immediately took photos of Wilson Roger.
"President Roger, I've already recorded what you did today. Get ready to see yourself on TV tomorrow."
Janice picked up her handbag and turned to leave, but was stopped by Wilson's bodyguard.
"Stop her, hand the phone over or don't think about leaving," Wilson ordered.
Several bodyguards quickly stepped forward to block Janice's way.
Janice sneered. "I've already uploaded the video to a cloud server. Even if my phone is confiscated, it won't make a difference."
This time, Wilson was angry. "Grab her."
Upon hearing the instruction, the bodyguards were about to take action to grab Janice.
"Don't even think about touching her!"
The command was as loud as thunder. Everyone stopped and looked in the direction of the shout.
Especially Janice. She turned around and looked in the direction behind her. When she saw the tall figure walking toward her, she couldn't help but be stunned.
Christopher?
Why was he here?
By the time Christopher arrived, the crowd had already made way for him.
He walked up to Janice and glanced at her stunned face. Then, he took off his coat and put it on her. He said to Rob, "I'll leave it to you."
After that, he pulled Janice out of the crowd.
Wilson saw that Janice had been taken away, so he immediately ordered the bodyguards to catch up with her, but was intercepted by Rob.
"President Roger, your good days have come to an end."
Rob smiled sinisterly.
Wilson shivered inexplicably. "What are you going to do?"
Daniel and Richard stood aside watching the fun, witnessing Rob show off his strength.
"What's going on? Who is the woman Chris took away?" Richard touched his chin and asked.
Daniel frowned. "How would I know?"
He wanted to ask someone too.
But when he saw Wilson, who had been ably dealt with by Rob, he couldn't help sighing.
It seemed the old man was in trouble.
Christopher pulled Janice out of the nightclub. On the way to the garage, he reached out and asked, "Where's the key?"
Only then did Janice quickly take out the car key from her handbag.
Christopher found Janice's interview van, opened the door of the driver's seat, and got in. Janice paused for a moment before walking over and sitting in the passenger seat.
Christopher waited for her to fasten her seat belt before driving the car out.
On the way, neither of them spoke.
It was quiet in the car.
Janice sat there, staring at Christopher, who was driving. She didn't know how to explain the situation.
After all, the situation in the club could easily be misunderstood.
"Well... don't get me wrong. I am..."
Janice was just about to explain when Christopher interrupted her.
"Did he hurt you just now?"
Janice was stunned for a moment before she shook her head hurriedly. "No, I just got poured some red wine."
Christopher didn't say anything else.
Janice looked at his face and did not dare to speak again.
The car soon stopped at the gate of a community.
Janice looked around at the unfamiliar environment and asked in confusion, "Where is this place? Aren't we going home?"
Christopher unfastened his seat belt and glanced at Janice. "We're staying here tonight."
He opened the door and got out.
Janice was dazed momentarily and then followed him.
She couldn't help but be attracted by the words at the entrance of the building. "Oceania?"
Isn't this the most luxurious waterside apartment complex in Tomaville? "Are you sure we're staying here tonight?"
...
After entering the elevator, neither of them spoke and went straight into the house.
Janice watched as Christopher turned on the lights familiarly. She was confused.
It's impossible. I thought he came from a poor background?"
How could he live in such a high-end house?>
Janice was still confused when Christopher said, "Go take a shower first. There are no clothes for you here. You should wear this first."
He had a new white shirt in his hand.
Janice took it and walked towards the bathroom.
While she was occupied, Christopher received a call from Rob. The matter had been resolved.
As soon as he hung up the phone, the bathroom door opened.
Janice came out in the white shirt. The man's shirt was big and covered all the essential parts, but she still felt uncomfortable.
After all, she was wearing nothing underneath.
If she didn't pay attention, her lady parts would be exposed. Moreover, it was quite embarrassing to be seen in front of Christopher like this.
Christopher turned around and saw Janice walking out of the room bashfully in the large white shirt. Although the curves of her body could not be seen, her straight and long legs under the shirt were very seductive.
It made one's imagination run wild.
Christopher felt his throat tighten. He tugged at his tie and suppressed the desire that had unconsciously formed in his heart. He sat down on the sofa and patted the seat beside him.
"Come here."
Janice hesitated for a moment before walking over. When she sat beside Christopher, she felt his burning gaze and felt a little uneasy.
Christopher's gaze fell on her wet hair. He then picked up a bath towel from the sofa and rubbed her head. "Why didn't you dry your hair?"
Janice did not dare to say anything. It was not her house, and she did not dare to touch the things here.
"By the way, where is this place?", she asked.
Christopher rubbed her hair while glancing at her. "Where do you think it is?"
Janice stared at the curve of his chin for a few seconds. "Your friend's house?" This was the only thing she could think of.
Christopher didn't say anything. He couldn't help grinning where she couldn't see. With Janice's intelligence, she probably wouldn't believe him even if he said it was his own home. Forget it, it was up to her.
He said, "Stay here tonight."
"Oh, okay."
Janice was feeling guilty, so she did not dare to say anything.
However, Christopher didn't say anything, which made her even more worried. After thinking for a while, she took the initiative to say something.
"By the way, why were you there tonight?"
Christopher didn't answer.
"Were you looking for work?" Janice asked tentatively.
Christopher's hands froze in the middle of drying her hair. His dark eyes stared at her.
Janice was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she quickly explained, "It doesn't matter to me. It's a nice place. If you think it's suitable, you don't have to worry about me."
Christopher wondered.
Did he say anything?
He got up and went to the bathroom to get a hairdryer.
Seeing that he still had no intention of asking her about what happened tonight, Janice said hesitantly, "Don't you want to ask anything about what happened tonight?"
Christopher paused the hair drying and said, "What do you want to say?"
Janice hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, it's my family's matter. The reason why I wanted to marry you was that my family wanted me to help our business through marriage. The man was someone I despised, so..."
"But even though it was just a tactic to get out of that arrangement, I still really want to live with you."
Fearing that Christopher would misunderstand, Janice hurriedly explained.
...
Christopher continued to dry his hair silently.
The noise of the dryer made Janice flustered. She didn't know what Christopher was thinking of. Did he care at all?
However, she had to tell him the truth.
Hence, she grabbed Christopher's hand, turned off the hairdryer, and looked him in the eyes.
"Please listen to me. I know I hid my family drama from you, but I realize now that it was unfair to do that."
"I have said that our marriage was a temporary expedient. Because I got married so suddenly, my father's company couldn't get support from our potential business partner. So things became complicated. The emotional stress elevated his blood pressure and then he was taken to hospital. Today I went to see him, and I suddenly realized how old he's gotten. I used to think that he was too strong to need me. "
"But today when I saw him, I realized that I was wrong. As a child, even if he wasn't a good father, I still couldn't ignore him because he is my biological father. So I made an appointment with an entrepreneur I interviewed before. However, I didn't expect him to be such a shameless person."
After Janice finished, she felt much more relieved.
In fact, she had been struggling in the past few days.
"Christopher, I'm sorry. I should have told you these things earlier."
She lowered her head and confessed.
However, Christopher wasn't surprised at all.
In fact, he had already known these things. He pretended not to know because he wanted to hear it from her mouth.
This meant that she was willing to trust him.
Christopher was gratified to hear that.
"You haven't done anything wrong except forget to tell me sooner."
Janice didn't expect Christopher to say that. She had thought that Christopher would be very angry rather than so calm.
In fact, she didn't forget to tell him. Rather, she was afraid that he would be scared away by her family.
She opened her mouth and did not know what to say.
"Sorry. I won't hide it from you anymore."
Christopher stroked the messy hair on her forehead and said, "Don't think too much. Go to sleep."
"So, wasn't he angry?"
Janice went back to her room in a state of confusion.
That night, the couple slept in their respective rooms.
The next morning, Janice got up early.
She hovered in the doorway of Christopher's room and hesitated before knocking.
Actually, when she chose to tell the truth last night, she was prepared to take the consequences.
Even if Christopher wanted to get a divorce, she should accept it.
To her surprise, Christopher didn't say anything last night.
However, it was because he did not clarify his position that she felt very anxious.
She hesitated for a long time before finally knocking on the door.
"Christopher, are you up? May I come in?"
She heard no response, so she gently pushed the door. The room was unlocked.
She easily opened the door. When she walked in, she didn't see Christopher. Instead, she heard the sound of running water from the bathroom.
"Is he in the bathroom?"
Janice hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door of the bathroom. "Christopher, are you inside?"
Soon, the sound of water stopped, and Christopher opened the door a crack.
The steam from inside made it difficult to see clearly.
"Fetch me a bath towel from the wardrobe."
