Chapter 210

Chapter 210
The next morning, as soon as Jane stepped through the doors of Smith Corporation, she felt strange looks coming at her from all directions.

She had no idea what had happened. When she walked into the design department, Mia followed her into the office, closed the door and said, "I heard you got locked in the bathroom a few days ago, and Stanley did it. I just don't get it - he's from sales, he has no beef with you, so someone must have put him up to it, right? Was it Anna?"

Jane didn't say anything, just let out a cold laugh.

Anyone could figure out that Anna was behind this - only John would brush her off with that "no evidence" excuse.

But that was in the past now, and Jane didn't want to talk about it anymore.

Thinking she was upset about it, Mia tried to comfort her: "Don't be mad. Mr. Smith already sent Stanley to jail and demoted Anna Doe. They say Mr. Smith was really angry. In the past, he would have just handed it off to his subordinates to handle officially, but this time he dealt with it personally and showed no mercy. He must have done it to stand up for you."

Thinking about Anna getting what she deserved, Mia felt a wave of satisfaction and said gleefully, "She's always acting like she's the madam of Smith Corporation. Well, this time she hit a brick wall. Bet she didn't see that coming."

Jane hadn't expected there would be follow-up to that incident. She paused, "Anna was demoted?"

"Yeah, yesterday afternoon right before work ended, the CEO announced it."

Jane said nothing.

Yesterday afternoon when she argued with John in the underground parking garage, it was around 3 PM. So he issued the personnel order soon after?

She had thought he would protect Anna, but surprisingly, he actually punished her, and moved so quickly.

Especially since Anna's demotion and Stanley's imprisonment happened almost simultaneously. Without even thinking, colleagues would know that these two people received such severe punishment because of Jane being locked in the bathroom.

No wonder everyone was looking at her strangely this morning.

Mia leaned on her desk with a gossipy and suggestive look: "Why is your face so red? What are you thinking about? Are you thinking about how it felt when Mr. Smith kissed you?"

"How do you know?" Jane was startled.

"Come on, girl, you and Mr. Smith were so intimate in the parking garage - did you think no one would see? Colleagues already took photos, okay? Want to see? They're high definition." Mia got more and more excited as she talked, "Quick, tell me, what's it like kissing Mr. Smith?"

"Why do you have so much nonsense to say?" Jane didn't want to face those suggestive eyes anymore and pushed her, "Go out and work, I'm busy."

"Okay, okay, you're busy."

That last word was full of meaning, extremely suggestive.

Jane was speechless. After finally getting rid of her, she put her hands on her cheeks - they were indeed very hot.

John's voice involuntarily echoed in her ears: "Jane, you're the one who approached me, teased me, used me to upset Anna. Haven't I stood up for you enough? Now you're acting like you don't know me. I'd like to ask you, what do you mean?"

When he said that, he was clearly very angry.

But after going back, he still dealt with Anna.

Thinking about it, what she said yesterday was pretty harsh, and she even bit his lip.

This morning when her car passed his in the garage, she saw that his lip was still badly injured. Hadn't he put any medicine on it?

She felt uneasy and finally called Alice.

"Ms. Watson, what's up?"

"Are you going to Williams Corporation this afternoon to follow up on the project?" Jane asked.

"Yeah, is there a problem?"

"No." Jane paused, then said, "It's like this - I'd like you to bring something over for me this afternoon on your way. It's a tube of ointment in my office drawer."

"Okay, anything else?"

"Um..." Jane thought for a moment, "When you pass by Floating Cloud Pavilion, could you also pack two afternoon teas for me? ...Whatever, you decide, anything not too sweet is fine."

After that, she hung up.

Since CLOUD Inc. was far from Smith Corporation, and she hadn't worked yesterday, she didn't want to waste time making the trip herself. Alice was going that way anyway.

What she didn't expect was that in the afternoon, when she was "meeting up" with Alice in the underground parking garage, John happened to see them.

She looked at what was in her hands. Just then, Kevin was driving back from outside and came toward them. He slowed down.

She went up to them, wanting to greet them proactively.

Kevin had just rolled down his window.

John looked at her coldly: "Miss Watson, I hired you at a high salary, not to slack off at work."

Jane: "..."

So her concern for his injury and buying him afternoon tea was just her looking for trouble?

She didn't want to keep throwing her warm face at this man's cold ass anymore. She looked at him coldly: "Mr. Smith sure worries about a lot. But first, I haven't delayed Smith Corporation's work. On the contrary, I've delayed CLOUD Inc.'s time and resources."

After saying that, she handed the ointment to Kevin through the window, "Twice a day, apply it to the lip."

That medical instruction was cold enough.

Kevin was wailing inside: So I'm just part of your game, huh?

He didn't have the courage to look back at his boss's frighteningly cold expression.

He wanted to call out to Jane, but Jane left without looking back.

Unexpectedly, as she passed the car, the back door automatically opened, and John's icy voice said two words: "Get in!"

Jane: What do you think I am? A dog that comes when called and leaves when dismissed?

But this time she wasn't so impulsive.

Thinking of her lovely babies, forget it, she'd endure it.

She got in the car.

Kevin immediately gave her the ointment and said with a smile, "Young Madam, I'm not very familiar with this medicine and don't know how to use it. You'd better do it."

After saying that, he quickly got out of the car.

Only Jane and John were left in the car. For a moment, the atmosphere was frighteningly tense.

Jane glanced at the man beside her. His usually indifferent eyes were even colder today, his whole body gloomy, written all over with "stay away." The entire car was filled with a chilling coldness.

However, Jane wasn't afraid of him.

She held out the ointment to him, "Ellen's ointment. I had someone bring it over today. It's for you. Twice a day, and in two days at most, your lip will be healed."

John didn't even take it, just looked at it coldly, then met her eyes and said coldly, "What game is Miss Watson playing now? Is this a bribe for our pleasant cooperation?"
