Chapter 50
On the top floor of the Crowne Hotel,
Dan leaned against the wide lounge chair. It was not a good day. The sea in the distance was shrouded in heavy fog, which clouded his heart as well.
“Mr. Campbell doesn’t interest you?”
“If he takes a fancy to you, won’t you rise to the top in one go?”
Dan tightened his grip on the goblet, his knuckles turning white.
It was only his joke, but he didn’t expect that Jane would have such a response. In the past few days, he was denied entry into the room and was cold–shouldered by her. Jane cooked meals and cleaned the house as usual, but still kept him at a cold and polite distance.
All of these made Dan Murphy, who had always been calm and restrained, almost go nuts.
If only he could come back to the past, he would have strangled himself who didn’t know to pick his
words.
A helicopter slowly landed on the nearby helipad. As the airflow raised by the propeller flew, Dan was messy and his shirt was lifted.
Hector got off the plane gladly. When he saw Dan on the terrace, he ran toward him.
However, he found something strange with Dan’s expression as he came closer.
The white truffles and caviar he had reserved at the hotel couldn’t entice Dan to have a stroke at all.
Hector had learned his lesson. He sat dejectedly in the chair opposite without a word and kept looking at Tristan, hoping to get hints from him.
However, Tristan couldn’t figure out what was in Dan’s mind, so he went on sipping his coffee and reading the documents.
In the end, Hector couldn’t stand the dull and strange atmosphere. He smiled awkwardly and tried to find a topic, “Well, Dominic… I’ve shown Miss Fallon’s sales plan to my subordinates. They all praised and commented it was professional. Oh, they also said that the owner of the plan was a talent and hoped to invite her to join our company!”
Hector have thought these words could delight Dan
Unexpectedly, Dan’s face darkened and he shot a sinister glare at Hector.
Hector felt his heart skip a beat.
“Well… My special assistants all said that this cooperation is negotiable. It happens that the Hizack Company is keeping dating me these days. Dominic, do you want me to go or not?”
Dan dropped his answer, “This is your company’s business. Why do you ask me?”
Hector was confused again.
Dan asked, “Did you invite Jane to attend the Bright Brilliance Hotel’s banquet?”
“Yes.” Hector was stunned and asked, “Wasn’t it all that you want? You didn’t want her to be entangled with the Fallons at the door. You hoped she could come in, have a good meal, and rest, but you didn’t want her to see your face. That was why I asked someone to arrange a room for her…”
Dan said angrily, “Since you have arranged a room for her, couldn’t you send a stylist to dress her up for the banquet?”
“But in this way, she would know you!”

“She will know my real identity anyway! There’s no difference for her to know it sooner or later!”
Hector licked his lips in confusion.
That’s not what Dan used to say! Why did Dan suddenly change his mind?
“You can’t even handle such a trivia! What a good–for–nothing!” Dan suddenly got up, glared at him, and strode away.
Hector was stunned for a long time. As Dan disappeared from Hector’s sight, Hector looked at Tristan, only to see a perplexed face as his.
“What’s wrong with him? Does he go nuts again?”
Tristan pursed his lips and chuckled without a word..
“Tristan, is Dan crazy, isn’t he?” Hector shrugged and went on, “He’s so capricious and has no good temper at all!”
Tristan glanced at Hector meaningfully. “Ever since he fell in love with Jane, have you seen his good temper?”
Jane stared at the computer all day long, but she didn’t knock a word about the sales report.
Even when Annie called out to her, she didn’t come to her senses for a long time.
“What’s wrong with you?” Annie spoke to Jane as she packed her bags. “It’s time to get off work. Why are you still sitting here?”
Jane was in a trance. She suddenly looked up and found the office was almost empty, leaving only her and Annie.
Annie also turned off the computer and got ready to leave.
“Jane, you look had these days.” She asked with concern, “Did something happen? Did you quarrel with your husband?“.
“No.” Jane forced a smile. “There is only a small misunderstanding between us.”
“Since it is a small misunderstanding, why don’t you explain it?” Annie said with a smile, “I often heard from my mother that the couple feel sweeter in squabbles. The most important is that the couple needs to learn how to make up with each other on the bed!”
Jane was stunned, giving an embarrassing smile.
She didn’t have a sexual relationship with Dan since they were married. How could she make up
with Dan on the bed…. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
Thinking of this, she frowned slightly.
“Is this the reason that caused Dan to speak those hurtful words that day? I haven’t let him make moves at me since we got married. No man can put up with it, can he?”
“That was why he had suspected me and brought up Mr. Campbell, saying the ‘rise to the top“?” Jane thought.
Jane bit her lip lightly. The faint guilt in her heart dispelled the disappointment and grievances of the past few days.
In fact, she was also responsible for not fulfilling her duty as a wife.
How about tonight….
Her face blushed, and her heart beat wildly. When she was about to get off work, she suddenly saw Adam walking toward her.
