“Look, it’s Jane Gardner again, I heard she was taken away by the police yesterday with someone on the third floor together.”
“She and the president have split up so many times, I think, this time should be completely cold. Well, don’t say it, she came over.”
“What are you afraid of, now she is just a cleaning lady, treatment is worse than us!”
Jane Gardner listened to the chatter at the front desk, she pretended she heard nothing and went straight into the elevator.
“Miss Gardner, the president wants you to go to his office.” Andy Winters saw Jane Gardner finally coming to work, and he stopped her and told her.
Jane Gardner had fallen out with Zachary Irwin and this was the first time he had let himself into his office.
“Did he want to see me about something?” Jane Gardner wondered.
“Miss Selena Lott is here.”
As soon as Jane Gardner heard that Selena Lott was coming over, she jogged over with delight.
“Jane, is that really you?” Selena Lott had arrived in Laguna City early in the morning, but Zachary Irwin had been unable to contact Jane Gardner, so she thought she wouldn’t see her today, but she didn’t expect Jane Gardner to come over suddenly.
Selena Lott remembered the past when they were dependent on each other, she rushed forward and hugged her.
Jane Gardner was also very excited, her eyes were soaked with tears.
“You bad girl! How can you be so cruel, leaving for five years! Do you know how many fights I had with Zachary Irwin and Codie Wei in these five years for you!”
“…” Jane Gardner smiled and wiped away the tears from her eyes, she looked at Selena Lott, she had a thousand words in her heart, but she didn’t know where to start.
“Jane, you really can’t talk anymore?” Selena Lott noticed that after all she had said, Jane Gardner hadn’t said a word, and she remembered what Zachary Irwin had told her today, and how she didn’t want to believe it.
Jane Gardner, who once showed off her singing voice and wowed four seats, had actually lost the ability to speak.
“There was some excitement back then, and suddenly I lost my voice.” Jane Gardner took out her phone and wrote a line on it.
In the back, Zachary Irwin saw Jane Gardner and Selena Lott had too much to talk about, he got up and left the office, then asked his secretary to prepare dessert and drinks for them.
He himself went out into the hallway aisle.
“Young master, the results of the investigation came out, Miss Gardner and Beck Moore, indeed, met a year ago. Five years ago, Beck Moore was still studying abroad, Miss Gardner should not have had the chance to know him.”
“Okay, I get it.” Zachary Irwin listened to the voice on the other end of the line, and the corner of his mouth ticked quietly.
Realizing that he hadn’t been completely dead to Jane Gardner until now, he disgusted himself with this and instantly smoothed out the curve of his mouth again.
He also, suddenly, did not want to be so nice to Jane Gardner.
It was his office, so why should he make it available for them to catch up and chat?
Zachary Irwin thought so, and he put away his phone and walked toward his office.
“What did you say! Now you’re lying to Zachary Irwin and you’re not even with Beck Moore? Everything is an act you’ve put together?” Selena Lott exclaimed as she saw the large text Jane Gardner had tapped out, she couldn’t believe it, “Jane Gardner, are you out of your mind! Why did you do that?
Although Zachary Irwin may not have been in love with you at first sight, he was in love with you for the five years that you disappeared. You don’t even know what Codie Wei said when he sent him the same robot as you, hoping to comfort him with it.
He said, “You are you, uniquely you, and a robot, even if it’s made to look realistic and functional, she’s not you after all!”
Jane Gardner listened to Selena Lott’s words with a quiet smile on her face.
“I can’t be with him, so why should he keep thinking about me? I think he’s fine the way he is now. In time, he’ll meet another girl, fall in love with another girl, and live his own happy life.”
“The way I see it, you’ve been not only dumb for the past five years, but you’ve really gone crazy!” Selena Lott did not understand, not at all, and she looked at Jane Gardner with complex, heavy eyes.
She was more worried about Jane Gardner than she was about not seeing her, about her.
Zachary Irwin stood in the doorway, his pushing motion frozen in mid-air for a long time, and finally, with a shaking hand, he pushed the door open.
Selena Lott and Jane Gardner saw Zachary Irwin enter, and they looked over at him.
“What did you guys just say? That you were with Beck Moore and it was a lie? Jane Gardner, tell me, why did you do that? You’re playing me like a monkey!”
Zachary Irwin glared violently at Jane Gardner and grabbed her by the shoulders, he couldn’t understand why Jane Gardner had gone to such lengths to play that scene!
“…” Jane Gardner didn’t say anything, she looked at Zachary Irwin and wondered how he could have just happened to hear Selena Lott’s words.
“Zachary Irwin, you let go of Jane! Let’s talk about what’s going on, let’s not get physical!” Selena Lott’s relationship with Codie Wei has become more stable over the past few years, and Zachary Irwin misses Jane Gardner and is more tolerant of her.
So Selena Lott gradually developed the habit of being bold and unrestrained, and dared to call out Zachary Irwin directly.
“Speak properly? Jane Gardner, do you think that Zachary Irwin will never marry anyone but you in his life, that’s why you came up with such a trick to make me die to you? Don’t worry, I will do what you want!
Now you, even if you beg me to marry you, beg me to look at you more, I will not!” As Zachary Irwin’s words fell, he pushed Jane Gardner away.
His chest still heaving violently, he turned his head sideways, looking at Jane Gardner on the ground without much expression, disappointed in her.
“I lied to you, but it’s also true that I’m in love with Beck Moore!” Jane Gardner stood up from the ground a little bit, she picked up the phone, her eyes light, a little bit in the phone to write down this sentence.
Then she showed the phone to Zachary Irwin, and she, herself, looked straight into his eyes.
She stood firm, her eyes fearless and open.
Zachary Irwin read her words and looked at her determined eyes, he just felt as if his internal organs were being pulled in the palm of Jane Gardner’s hand.
The slightest squeeze from her, he could suffocate and die.
When she let go a little, he felt alive again.
Zachary Irwin took a step closer to Jane Gardner and he stared into her eyes word for word and asked, “Do you say that again?”
He spewed out words with a hint of coolness that sent an involuntary shiver down Jane Gardner’s spine.
“Beck Moore and I have already met the parents, his parents like me, that day, didn’t you see me at Longwan, that was the time, I met his parents. By the way, in my bag, there is a meeting gift from Beck Moore’s mother, Mr. Irwin, do you want to see it? It’s fifty thousand dollars in cash.”
Jane Gardner typed quickly, each word as if it came from her own mouth.
Zachary Irwin looked at her words and he couldn’t hold back any longer. He grabbed Jane Gardner by the throat with one hand and pushed her against the wall, “Believe it or not, if you dare to say one more word, I’ll kill you right now!”
Zachary Irwin told himself in his head that Jane Gardner was his woman and that he would not allow Beck Moore to have her even if he had to kill her.
He looked at Jane Gardner’s hard face and couldn’t be ruthless about it.
“Zachary Irwin, Jane is crazy, are you crazy too! Get off her now! Do you want to experience that feeling in the funeral home again!” Selena Lott was beside herself, and she panicked as she saw the situation getting more and more dire and completely out of her control.
She kept wrenching at Zachary Irwin’s hand, trying to get Jane Gardner off.
But Zachary Irwin’s eyes were scarlet, and his hand was like sinking into Jane Gardner’s body, and she couldn’t pull his hand out no matter how hard she tried.
And Jane Gardner did not cry out, not to mention the cry for help, she just looked at Zachary Irwin, let his five fingers close, a little bit will be her air deprivation.
