Chapter 50: A Business Trip With Rayan



Chapter 50: A Business Trip With Rayan

Just after Janessa arrived at work, Linda told her she was going on a business trip.

She was going with Rayan.

Janessa's mind was a mess.

For her, this was like the hell! Her colleagues, however, were once again jealous.

Few of them had received such an honor of travelling with their boss.

On second thought, this business trip might be an excellent opportunity.

Janessa sorted out all the necessary documents and made full preparations for the trip.

She didn't know how long they would be away.

She had to go home to pack her things.

"Janessa, isn't it just so lucky that you get to go on a trip with the CEO?"

Sally, standing beside Janessa, said in a voice dripping with sarcasm.

If it weren't for Janessa, she would be the one going with Rayan.

"Sally, you have a plan due the day after tomorrow, don't you? Have you finished it yet?"

Janessa had wanted to quietly leave on her business trip and hadn't planned on saying anything to Sally.

However, Sally was clearly trying to antagonize her.

Janessa was curious about the secrets between her and Gracie though.

Maybe this was an opportunity to find out.

"Don't get too comfortable being the group leader.I'll take this position back one day!"

Sally glared at Janessa.

She still had her cousin Linda there.

Sooner or later, the position would be hers again.

Janessa would be gone by then.

I Looking at Sally, her face distorted with anger, Janessa leaned against her seat and smiled softly.

She hadn't expected that Sally only wanted the position as the group leader. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Sally didn’t want her there any longer, which meant Janessa had to fight back.

"Well, I'll wait and see how you get my position all the way from the bottom."

Janessa slightly tilted towards Sally.

She said in a low voice, "Your cousin can't always be around to help you.What do you plan to do this time, huh?"

Sally was too stupid to ever get her job back.

But, Janessa supposed, if Linda was helping her, she just might do it.

"You...Don't go there.Don't you think I know how you got this job? You slept with our boss again, didn't you?"

Sally acted as if she had known a big secret.

Although she said it in a low voice to Janessa, the mockery in her eyes was not hidden at all.

Everyone knew that Rayan didn't like Janessa, but Janessa could still work in the company after their divorce.

Sally thought Janessa must have done something in exchange of her job.

She had seen a lot of women sleeping their way up, so she wasn't really surprised.

‘Idiot!’ Janessa felt a jab in her heart.

She sneered at Sally.

She had no idea how such a stupid woman could work here.

Although Rayan never liked Janessa, she was once the daughter-in-law of the Lu family.

Did Sally really think that she and Gracie could scare her away? She was so pathetic.

"I'm your supervisor now, Sally.

I plan to be back the day after tomorrow, but if I have not returned, I still expect to receive your plan by email."

Janessa had no time left for this woman.

Linda came out of her office and saw Janessa and Sally standing together.

She frowned and said, "Janessa, don't be late.Sally, come to my office.Now."

Sally gave Janessa one last resentful look, then walked off in her high heels.

The sound of her shoes echoed over the office until the door to Linda's office closed behind her.

Janessa assigned some work to her group members then left the office.

When she arrived to the ground floor of the building, she saw Rayan’s car was parked in front of the building.

‘Is Rayan ready to leave?' Janessa wondered.Janessa went to call a taxi, passing Rayan's car on the way.

The driver came up to her and said, "Mrs...Ms.Janessa, Mr.Rayan asked me to bring you home to get your things and then come back to pick him up."

This was a surprise to Janessa.

Rayan had never sent for a driver to bring her home before.

Without any hesitation, Janessa got into the car and was taken home.

Sally had been scolded by her own cousin in the office.

If she did something reckless again and Linda was held responsible for her mistakes, she would definitely be in trouble.

Thinking about their conversation, Sally hated Janessa even more.

She stood by the window in Linda's office, looking down on the street.

Unexpectedly, she caught sight of Janessa getting into Rayan's car.

Quickly, she took out her phone, took a video of the scene, and sent it to Gracie.

She also told her that Rayan and Janessa were going on a business trip together, alone.

Gracie sat watching the video in the Lu family's villa.

When it was done, she was so angry that she tore the newspaper in her hand into pieces.

"Damn it! Janessa's not just working there, but she is also going a business trip with Rayan!" Gracie was worried.

Janessa was so conniving.

If she seduced Rayan, they might even remarry.

Gracie wouldn't let that happen.

She picked up her phone and called Rayan.

It rang for a long time, but Rayan finally answered.

"Rayan, are you busy?"

"Yes."

His cold and deep voice didn't convey whether he was happy or angry.

But, he really was busy.

Before going on the business trip, he had a huge pile of documents to review.

Gracie had called him for no reason, which agitated him, but he didn't have the heart to hang up the phone.

Instead, he held his anger back and answered it.

"I made your favorite braised fish.I'll bring it to you for lunch."

Gracie's delicate voice was soft.

Suddenly, Rayan was no longer agitated.

He put down the documents in his hands and rubbed between his eyebrows.

"You don't have to come.I'm going on a business trip later today.I'll be back in a few days.You can eat that fish yourself at home."

Gracie clenched her fists tightly, refusing to let go even when her fingertips turned white.

She hadn't wanted it to be true, but sure enough, Rayan was going on a business trip with Janessa.

"How long will you be gone for? What if your mother tries to lock me up again?"

She thought of the horrible experience of being locked in the house the last time and swore to herself that it would not happen again.

Although she had grown up in the Lu family's old house, there were still so many places in the backyard where no one was allowed to enter.

When she was a child, she hadn't dared enter that place.

It was said that it was haunted.

But she had been locked up all alone in there.

At night, the lights flickered.

At the sound of the wind outside the window, she could only curl up in the corner of the room.

No one came to help her.

No one could hear her voice.

And it was all because of Janessa.

If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have suffered like that.

Understanding that she was afraid, Rayan comforted her gently.

"Don't worry.I made a deal with my family.

They won't hurt you again.You can feel certain of that while you wait for me at home."
