Flash Marriage: My Penniless Billionaire Husband
Chapter 120: Why Hasn’t She Received It?
After a while, she said, "Whether you believe it or not, I never thought about relying on anyone in this show."
"I just want to rely on my own ability. Maybe the opportunity was indeed given by Benjamin, but I believe that my ability is up to it. So I want to prove myself."
"I don’t need anyone to interfere, including you."
Janice added silently.
Christopher stared at her.
Did Janice think so?
Idiot.
She was so innocent.
How could the rumor in the workplace be solved with work ability alone?
The more capable she was, the easier she would be criticized.
However, since she didn’t want him to interfere, he couldn’t interfere.
After all, there were many ways to solve the problem.
He said, "Okay."
Janice breathed a sigh of relief. Then she stared at him and said, "Are you still angry with me now?"
She was not sure.
"Of course, why not?"
He raised his eyebrows.
"Then how can you forgive me?" Janice tugged at the corner of his shirt. Hearing this, Christopher’s eyes narrowed. "What do you think?"
A hint of happiness flashed across his eyes inadvertently, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Janice thought for a while and finally stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the cheek.
"That’s it?" Christopher frowned with dissatisfaction.
Janice blushed and glared at him.
What else should she do?
She then kissed his lips. Just as she was about to leave, he held her and deepened the kiss.
It seemed that the two were hardly able to part.
Janice awkwardly interrupted, "Don’t you want to go out?"
Christopher frowned and took out his housecoat under her gaze.
Janice suddenly realized that he was lying to her.
Christopher asked, "Are you hungry?"
"A little." Janice nodded.
"I’ll cook something for you."
As he spoke, he put on his clothes and turned to kitchen.
Janice watched him leaving and let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed that her decision was right.
He was so kind to her. How could she doubt him?
Thinking of this, she smiled and followed him. "Christopher, let me help you."
The next day, when Janice went to the TV station, the station had already changed into a brand new one.
As soon as she sat down, she heard her colleagues’ discussion. "Have you heard that Director Taylor already resigned?" "Really?"
"Moreover, we have a new shareholder."
"A new shareholder? Isn’t the daughter of the Swift Group?"
"No. The new shareholder is much more powerful than the Swift Group..."
"Who is that?"
"He would come immediately, you’ll know it later."
The voices of her colleagues filled the air.
So, was Benjamin really leaving?
Well, in that case, she would not be in a dilemma.
Thinking of this, she felt much more relaxed. As soon as she took the document out of the folder, a familiar voice came from above her head.
"Janice."
...
Upon hearing the voice, Janice raised her head and saw Benjamin. He stood there and seemed to have something to say.
Janice asked, "What’s the matter, Director Taylor?"
Benjamin frowned and asked, "Can you come with me?"
"If you have something to say, just say it here."
She had promised Christopher that she wouldn’t contact him in private. Benjamin said, "It won’t take you too long."
Seeing Janice did not respond, he added, "I promise that it is the last time."
There was a hint of pleading in his tone.
Janice was hesitant.
Benjamin’s heart sank as he saw her reaction, he then continued, "I will wait for you in concert hall."
After that, he turned around and left.
Janice wanted to stop him, but she couldn’t make a sound. Staring at his back, she recalled the previous discussions of her colleagues.
Since he was about to leave, she would take it as a farewell.
Then she got up and went out.
Janice arrived at the concert hall, hearing a melodious sound coming from inside.
She stopped at the door, seeing Benjamin playing the piano in it.
He sat in front of the piano, gracefully playing it with his hands up and down, and the familiar melody floated out.
It reminded her of the first time she met him in the music room three years ago.
He was so enthusiastic and devoted, like a shining star.
She was attracted by his enthusiasm, but later, she gradually found that he was only enthusiastic in the music room, and he was depressed in other time.
It took her a lot of efforts to become his girlfriend.
That was the first time for her to fall in love with someone and take the initiative to chase after someone.
But later, he suddenly disappeared.
While she was lost in thought, the music stopped. Then she returned to her senses, and stopped behind him.
"Just say what you want to say."
Hearing this, Benjamin looked at her with a gratified look.
"Thank you for coming."
Janice was already very sorry for Christopher so that she only hoped that he would finish his words as soon as possible.
She said, "Go ahead. I still have work to do."
Only then did Benjamin look away. He stood up and walked towards the French window. Looking at the empty sky, he said.
"Janice, do you really think that I have never contacted you in the past three years?"
Janice didn’t want to talk about it again, but Benjamin continued, "In fact, in the past three years, I have sent you emails with unceasing regularity."
Upon hearing this, Janice looked at him in surprise.
"Is that true?"
Why had she never received it?
Looking into her eyes, he knew that she didn’t know at all.
Perhaps this was the destiny, letting them miss each other.
It was destiny.
He continued, "I didn’t mean to defend myself. I’m leaving soon. I just want to solve the misunderstanding between you and me. During this period, the most uncomfortable thing for me is your coldness."
"I..."
"I know. You are blaming me. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have left without saying a word three years ago. Besides, I shouldn’t have pestered you after I knew that you were married. I admit that I was so selfish and always troubled you. Can you forgive me?"
...
He stared at Janice with his eyes full of guilt.
Upon hearing his words, Janice said, "In fact, I have already..."
She wanted to say that she had already put it down, but she was interrupted.
"You’d better not forgive me. If you blame me, at least you still have me in your heart." He laughed at himself.
If she really forgiven him, there would be nothing left in her heart.
This was even more painful for him.
He said, "That’s all I want to say. Although I’m very sad when I heard that you got married, I hope you can accept my belated blessings."
Janice felt speechless. She only said, "Thank you."
Remembering that he was about to leave, she hesitated for a moment and asked. "Where... are you going?"
Benjamin gave her a wry smile. Where else could he go?
He had no family.
Where else could he go if he left the TV station?
He said, "I promised my father that if the TV station doesn’t run well, I’ll go to help him with family business."
Janice nodded.
"That’s good."
"You can go now." Benjamin looked at her and let out a long sigh.
Janice asked, "What about you?"
"I want to stay alone for a while," he said.
Upon hearing that, Janice did not say anything else. She turned around and walked out.
Benjamin stood there, staring at her back. After she left, he removed the mask on his face. He slowly squatted down and burst into tears.
He had lost the person he loved the most.
After Janice went back to her office, she logged into the old mail account, which she had not used for a long time.
There were several unread e-mails lying inside.
They were all sent by Benjamin.
It turned out that he had really tried to contact her.
Janice stared at the email but she did not open it. Some things seemed to be destined by God.
Since they had missed each other, there was no need to see it again.
The world had changed. They all changed.
Perhaps it wasn’t just because she didn’t see the e-mails.
It was because of destiny.
She thought it was time for her to forget the past.
Thinking of this, she clicked the delete button, and the whole mailbox was instantly blank.
Her feelings for Benjamin, and their memories, both were deleted.
Now, her heart was already filled up by another person.
That person was her husband, Christopher.
Thinking of him, Janice couldn’t help but smile.
"Have you heard that the new shareholder is coming?"
"Is that so? Who is it?"
"He’s coming..."
All of a sudden, there was a burst of exclamation, which instantly brought Janice back to reality.
She looked at the door and saw a group of colleagues gathering there. So, the new shareholder came?
In fact, she didn’t care about who the new shareholder was. She just wanted to focus on her work.
However, she was still curious.
Since the shareholder changed, many other things would change as well.
That was why her colleagues paid so much attention.
Thinking of this, she slowly got up and walked over, following everyone’s gaze.
In the corridor, a familiar figure came over.
Janice was stunned.
"It’s he?"
