Garrett grew nervous. He called Ethan right away. “Bro, come to the Sandy Hotel right now. You’re
about to lose your wife!”
Ethan was busy cooking at home. He had been trying his best to improve his relationship with Janet.
Therefore, Ethan returned home early every day and cooked a delicious meal for Janet.
“Kent?” Ethan took off his apron, picked up his jacket from the sofa, and darted out.
“Keep an eye on them. I’ll be there soon.”
“You know Kent very well. He has brought Janet to a hotel. He’s definitely up to no good. Something is
about to happen tonight.”
Garrett fell silent. He couldn’t understand why Janet had agreed to have dinner with Kent in the first
place. He knew that Kent had wanted Janet as the head designer for the project they were working on
and also knew Janet hated Kent.
Therefore, he was confident nothing would go wrong. Ethan walked out of the apartment and hailed a
taxi. “It’s all my fault,” he grunted, running a hand through his hair.
“Knowing Janet, I thought she wouldn’t give Kent any chance. Besides, Kent would never force a
woman, so I thought everything would be fine.” Ethan didn’t think it would be a problem, so he didn’t
feel the need to mess it up.
After all, he didn’t want to wreck Janet’s first project as the chief designer. It would be a good
opportunity to grow and hone her skills.
“You should know that Kent has his way of getting into women’s pants. Either that or something is
wrong with Janet. That’s probably why she has agreed to have dinner with him.”
Garrett’s heart sank when he followed them into the restaurant. Janet and Kent were laughing and
chatting happily. The anticipation made him sick.
“Well, I’m on my way.” Ethan hung up the phone coldly and looked out the window, hoping to reach the
hotel soon. The soft lights of the room made the place all the more romantic.
Kent was a little excited tonight. He had dressed into a gorgeous suit and brought his flirting game on,
trying to impress her. Nobody knew what she was thinking.
However, despite all his effort, Janet seemed absentminded. She propped her chin on the palm of her
hand and blankly stared outside. Kent waved his hand before Janet’s face to grab her attention.
“What would you like to eat? The steak here is out of the world. Miss Lind, this is the third time I’m
asking you this question.” Janet was lost in thought. She didn’t bother paying attention to him.
“Order whatever you like. I don’t have anything in mind.”
“What are you thinking? Tell me. I can tell something is bothering you. Maybe I can help you solve your
problem.” Kent ordered the food and handed the menu to the waiter.
His heart sank with disappointment. He had thought Janet’s determination had finally wavered when
she finally agreed to have dinner with him. However, she had been disinterested ever since she came
to the hotel.
“Nothing.”
Janet didn’t like sharing her thoughts with strangers. Besides, she didn’t have a good opinion of Kent,
so she thought it was better to keep her worries to herself.
Kent drummed his fingers on the table. Just as he was about to speak, Janet’s phone blared in her
bag.
“Sorry, I should answer the phone.” She tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and picked up the
phone from her bag.
‘‘Why is Ethan calling me now?’’ She frowned.
