Chapter 523

A few days later, inside the living room of the White family, everyone was having breakfast together right then.

Janet and Johanna were discussing amongst themselves the hot trending topics recently.

“You know all about the famous popular TV show out there recently, right? I’m going to sign the leading actor to be the spokesperson of our very own company,” Johanna told Janet.

Janet had an impression of the leading actor. He appeared to be going to the gym regularly, so he appeared very strong with all his muscles.

“You can sign him. There are lots of grown women who are into his type.” Janet gave her opinion with a smile on her face.

“Well, I’ll have a chat with his agent today,” Johanna said with an even brighter smile.

The two women were both talking about a man, completely forgetting the men who were sitting next to them.

“Who’s this actor?” Ethan and Beal asked at the same time.

Ignoring the men seated at the same table as her, Janet finished eating her meal quickly and left.

Ethan didn’t say a word or do anything about it. He knew deep down that he had made a huge mistake this time.

Beal also kept silent. Since he was caught red-handed by Johanna last time bragging about his methods of taming his wife, he didn’t dare to brag in front of Ethan ever again.

It was not until Johanna headed back to their room to change out of her clothes that he dared to speak to Ethan in a whisper, his eyes full of encouragement, “As long as you stick around, she will definitely forgive you eventually.”

It was how he managed to deal with such problems with Johanna in the past.

Ethan forced out a smile.

He wanted to stick around Janet, but she gave him no chance to even speak a word to her.

After breakfast at home, Janet went to the W Marks Studio to get some work done.

Everyone was still hard at work as usual.

Perhaps it was because they had been busy recently that everyone had stopped gossiping about the matter between her, Draco, and Rosa.

As for Draco, his attitude toward Janet didn’t change in the slightest. He was as serious as before when it came to work-related matters, and whenever he chatted with her as a friend, he talked in a gentle and polite way like always.

Everything went back to normal as if nothing had happened.

Janet continued her work and inadvertently glanced up at Rosa’s empty desk. After Rosa was fired, Draco didn’t bother to hire a new assistant.

The only thing that seemed to change in the studio was that Janet and Elizabeth had now become close friends.

After getting along with each other for a very long time, Janet felt that Elizabeth was not as cold as she originally appeared. When Janet got familiarized with her, she discovered that she was actually very warm-hearted on the inside. It turned out Elizabeth was really easy to get along with and liked to help others out.

It really seemed like she was a friendly person and wasn’t at all like Rosa, who acted like a good friend but ended up stabbing her “friends” behind her back.

On the weekends, Janet would stay in.

In the evening, the cook would have prepared the dinner and the maid would ask her to come down the stairs to eat dinner.

It was not until the dinner was nearly over that night that it dawned on Janet that it seemed a bit empty in the house.

Someone wasn’t here.

Lila. Janet nearly forgot about her.

“Isn’t Lila coming down for dinner? I haven’t seen her for days now.” Janet happened to not like Lila and merely asked about her casually.

As soon as she asked the question, everyone in the room was stunned.
