Chapter 76: Accident

Hearing her words, Christopher didn’t say anything else. However, he had already made up his mind.

In the afternoon, Janice received a call from the car dealership, asking her to come over to pick the car up.

She was stunned for a while before she remembered that Christopher had mentioned it.

She had rejected him but she didn’t expect Christopher would still buy her a car.

Janice had no choice but to go to the car dealer. The car was a Maserati that was suitable for a lady. The clerk had finished all the procedures, and the car could be driven immediately.

Janice drove out and called Christopher.

"Christopher, I’ll drive the car away, but isn’t it too expensive?"

Janice thought, "I’m just a reporter. If I drive such an expensive car, I’ll inevitably attract gossip."

On the other side of the phone, Christopher frowned. "The car isn’t expensive. It’s more important that it has good functions and safety."

Upon hearing Christopher’s words, Janice didn’t say anything else. She only said, "In the future, don’t buy anything for me. I know you are rich, but we should spend money wisely."

Christopher smiled and said, "Alright, alright. I know that you’re thrifty, so what do you want to eat tonight?"

Janice thought for a moment and said, "Why don’t we have steak?"

Christopher said, "Okay, I’ll book a table."

Janice nodded and replied, "Okay." She hung up the phone.

She drove the car slowly to familiarize herself with it. When she arrived at the car park of the TV station, she found that there was no parking spot.

She was a little upset.

After all, there was no parking lot nearby. While she was thinking, the sound of high heels rang in the parking lot.

Janice looked out. She saw a woman in a black suit and sunglasses walking over.

Holding the car key in her hand, she seemed to be about to leave.

Janice thought that there was going to be an available slot once she left.

Sure enough, under her gaze, the woman drove away a parked Land Rover.

Seeing this, Janice started her car and drove over. However, the woman suddenly reversed after she drove away. As a result, the two cars collided.

The new car that she had just picked up was knocked. Janice was shocked and quickly opened the door to get out of the car.

At this time, the woman in front also got out of the car.

The two of them each stepped forward to check out the damage.

Janice’s heart ached when she saw the scratches on her car. After all, this car was brand new and worth millions.

The woman took off her sunglasses and looked at the place where she had hit, with a trace of guilt on her face.

"Sorry, it’s my responsibility. Well, I’m in a hurry now. You can send it for maintenance first. As for the compensation, let’s talk on the phone."

As she spoke, the woman took out a business card from her bag and handed it to Janice.

However, when she saw the woman’s face, Janice was stunned.

She was the woman who had appeared on the rooftop.

The woman apparently recognized her too and said, "If I remember correctly, you’re from the news department, aren’t you?"

Janice nodded.

The woman said, "I’m Denise Kelshore, the new art director of the TV station."

"Director Kelshore."

Janice greeted her.

Denise said, "Since we are all from the TV station, that makes thing easier. I have something urgent to deal with now, so let’s do as what I proposed. What do you think?"

Since she had already said so, Janice could only agree. "Alright, please go ahead."

"Thank you for your understanding."

Denise said as she turned to get in the car and drove off.

...

After watching her car leave, Janice looked at the business card in her hand. She didn’t expect that this woman was the new art director.

However, what to do with this car?

Janice had never encountered such a thing. She didn’t know how to deal with it, so she could only call Christopher.

As soon as Christopher came out of the meeting room, he saw Janice’s phone call.

He frowned.

"What’s wrong?" Christopher picked it up.

Janice said, "Christopher, there was a little car accident just now..."

Without waiting for her to finish, Christopher asked anxiously.

"Are you alright?"

"I’m OK. But the car was scratched."

Hearing Janice was well, Christopher was relieved. "Wait there. I’ll let Rob deal with it."

"Okay."

Janice put away the phone. Looking at the place where the car had been scratched, she felt distressed. "I can’t drive such a good car."

It didn’t take long for Rob to arrive. He told Janice not to worry and that he would take care of everything.

Since Janice couldn’t help, she went back to her office.

Seeing that she looked a little blue, Lucy approached her and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Janice shook her head. "Nothing."

Lucy said, "I just heard a rumor that our TV station is going to host a new program and is pulling endorsements."

Janice was not interested at all. All she cared about was the car.

Seeing that she didn’t say anything, Lucy was a little frustrated. "You said nothing was the matter, but you are so not listening."

Janice said, "It’s really nothing. By the way, what’s the show you just mentioned?"

Lucy said, "It seems to be a talk show. Something about love?"

"Tide of Love?"

Janice asked tentatively.

"Yes, yes, it’s ’The tide of love’."

Lucy said.

Janice couldn’t help but frown. "Isn’t this the show Benjamin proposed before?"

However, she had rejected it, so she didn’t know who would be the host.

This was nothing to do with her anymore.

So she stopped thinking about it.

Since Janice’s car had been sent for repairs, Christopher’s car was punctually parked in front of the TV station when she got off work in the evening.

When Janice walked out, she saw Christopher’s car. She said goodbye to her colleagues and was about to walk over when she heard Benjamin call her.

"Janice."

Janice frowned. "Director Taylor, what’s the matter?"

After their conversation on the roof, Benjamin felt sadness speaking to Janice.

Although she was married, it was an unforgettable regret for him.

"Janice, I still want you to think about it. That program is now in the commercial phase, and it is a key program that will be get all the best resources. Believe me, as long as you are willing, you can use it to achieve your dream."

After listening to Benjamin’s words, Janice said, "Director Taylor, I think I have made it very clear. I am not interested in that program at all. Sorry, I am in a hurry and have to leave."

As she spoke, Janice turned around and left in a hurry.

Benjamin wanted to catch up, but he found that she had already gotten in a car.

And the driver was none other than Christopher Bateman.

Benjamin watched the car leave, but he did not give up. No matter what, he would not let Janice miss out on such a good opportunity.

In the car, Christopher was driving while Janice was sitting in the passenger seat.

She glanced at Christopher and recalled her conversation with Benjamin.

Christopher must have seen them.

...

After all, they were talking at the door of the TV station.

Janice remembered what he had blurted out when they were quarreling. She did not know if he had misunderstood what had happened just now.

Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment and asked, "Christopher, did you see what happened?"

Christopher turned to look at her. "What do you mean?"

Janice pursed her lips. "Just now, I..."

Christopher looked at her, not knowing what she was going to say.

Janice thought for a moment and said directly, "Don’t get me wrong. Benjamin is just my boss now. There is nothing between us besides this."

It was only then that Christopher understood that she was referring to this matter. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

He did see it just now, but it was in front of the TV station, and there were many people coming and going. Even if Benjamin had some ideas, what could he do?

He said, "I know."

"Then last time..."

Janice bit her lip.

Christopher understood what she was referring to. He had indeed cared about it before and had also told her.

But after he calmed down, he felt there was nothing wrong.

After all, he had never participated in Janice’s past. It was impossible for him to ask her not to have any past relationships.

As long as Janice belonged to him now.

He said, "What I said last time was out of anger."

"Really?"

Janice was a little surprised.

Christopher glanced at her. "It’s true."

Janice was relieved. She was even a little happy. "By the way, where are we going?"

Christopher said mysteriously, "You’ll know when you get there."

Before long, the car stopped in front of a very elegant courtyard.

Janice followed Christopher out of the car. She glanced at a small garden in front of her. On it was an elegant signboard with the words "Orchid Garden".

<Does such an elegant place serve hot pot?> Janice was curious.

Christopher introduced, "It doesn’t look like a hot pot restaurant, but the hotpots are first-class?"

"Is that so?"

Janice found it novel. After all, this name sounded too elegant. It didn’t match with hot pot.

When the two of them entered, a person came forward to greet Christopher familiarly. He looked like the owner.

After exchanging a few words with Christopher, he warmly welcomed them to their seats.

Before he left, he also gave Janice a membership card.

Janice glanced around the restaurant and found that there were the only table. She couldn’t help asking in a low voice, "Does it really taste good if it’s so deserted?"

Christopher chuckled. "Do you know that without the card in your hand, you can’t enter?"

"Is that so?"

Only then did Janice look at the card in her hand. "In this case, I have to keep it well. Otherwise, I won’t be able to come back in the future."

Christopher said, "That’s not true. You can just use my name."

"OK." Janice nodded and thought, "It’s good to have a prominent Hubby."

Just as she was thinking about this, another guest came in.

Janice didn’t pay any attention, she was just thinking about having a good meal later.

"Chris? What a coincidence!"

A familiar voice sounded.

Janice and Christopher raised their heads at the same time and saw Daniel walking towards them.

Christopher didn’t seem to find anything strange when he saw Daniel. He asked, "You’re alone?"

Daniel said, "There’s one more person."

As he spoke, he glanced at Janice.
